Thank you! I'm honestly surprised I haven't found anything similar, or maybe I haven't looked hard enough.
Then again, blender is way more shortcut-oriented than any other software I've used, one of the reasons I like it so much.
Yep. German here, just realised this is another english word we use completely inapproprately, same as "handy" (mobile phone) and "public viewing" (public screening). Sorry for butchering your language.
not sure if I understand correctly. Ive already put in anchors for every tile, you should be able to click on one and get a shareable URL to send someone to the same tile. Index?
Its a pseudonym but I dont have any educational content in my real name either, this is my first attempt to contribute.
But the amount of quality content on youtube has been increasing steadily over the years, If I had to recommend 3, I'd say Grant Abbitt (Beginner), Erindale (Geonodes), Ian Hubert (for Inspiration).
Blender is mainly for visualisation, but I've used it for 3D printing. You can set up models in a parametric way by using modifier stacks (e.g. screw, solidify, subdiv etc) or geometry nodes, but I imagine other software is more advanced in this regard, or needs less customization and thought.
Thanks! I wasn't aware of tools like Lighthouse, will have a look into how it rates things.
Will also take a critical look at contrast again, thought it would be sufficient, and it quickly gets overwhelming in this layout.
thanks! If a fallback is possible, I'll put it in.
Any pointers how to go about the lazy loading? I want to keep it simple
Check out the filter in the top right corner menu. I think its too subtle and most people are missing it.
The content is focused on modeling though, now that it has a tag system I might add other sections like sculpting, animation...
Thank you very much for pointing this out, if a play button can be a fallback for those users only I'll put it in there.
I'm a bit weirded out by this being the default even for muted videos. Does that somehow save bandwith because you only get sent one frame of the video? Because otherwise a muted video is just a series of images, and they dont block images by default, right?
Thanks, and thanks for sharing, I love the idea and will think about it. Even though my intuition says it would be more productive if I put more time into adding content and polish to the existing concept, and people openend the actual software to practise their muscle memory.
I won't make this for other software, because I don't have that level of expertise for anything else. I've spent years helping other blender users, this is why I feel confident to author the information in this particular case.
Thanks for pointing it out, that reminds me I should probably run the entire website through a spell checker / AI at least once.
Cheers, happy to hear that!
There already is a "collapse" button if you bring up the menu top right (maybe its too subtle?). Default browser zoom out (Ctrl -) should also work fine, so you can see all shortcuts at once, e.g. on a second monitor or on a beamer, if you're teaching a group of people.
I knew about analog flash cards for learning but thanks for bringing anki to my attention!
Do they support tiny videos instead of images? Because I think this is essential especially for beginners who generally don't know the names of operations.

I've used blender for more than a decade and now ask myself what the best way to teach it would look like.Video generally seems the best format to explain how to solve a specific problem, but its not exactly great for larger collections of small bits of information – like blender shortcuts.This is why I made this video/text hybrid website from scratch. If you're a blender user or have...
