For beginners who've learned how to navigate the viewport and understand Extrusions and Insets, but need something to challenge/reinforce their learning.
This is a practice exercise for my students, but it can still be approachable.
I'll probably remake this as a proper series.
Yes, the end result is fairly excessively high poly, but this is a practice exercise for subdivision. Yes, it's non-manifold. The bottom hole should be filled if it was actually for use.
The clean/proper way to create a pipe would be to use a cylinder, loop cut for rim, Extrude along normals for the rim, inset top face, extrude center downward. Then add a Bevel...
... Or to flex about specular highlights, bake a higher bevel version's normals into the 1 increment bevel version.

It's the First Bcon outside of Amsterdam and the First Bcon hosted by a third-party! Super exciting!
I figured I'd record some of the talks I attended just to check on after personally, but things tend to go wrong on First times.
There seems to be some delays in getting the LA recordings out. I figured I'd share this one for now.
Apologies. It was very last minute, very dimly lit, my camera was set to 1080p60fps.
I hope next time I'll be the one giving a talk about some of my more recent work!

I felt like making a slightly longer-form Blender tutorial for YouTube.
I have a few addons that change up the view. Ask if curious.
HardOps & Boxcutter is the main one. "Node Wrangler" is built-in and should be enabled from the addon menu under Edit - Preferences - Addons - (Search for Node Wrangler, Check the box!)

I watched my computer's dreams and they were terrifying.
I literally told it to dream of Cursed images.
These are AI-Generated images I've created from DeepDream and The BigSleep Colab.

I was going to make him turn to wave the sword around, but decided 45 minutes was enough time spent.
