hey this is Kev with blender binge and this is blender 2.8 the official release
now a few of my subscribers have asked me to do a kind of a reaction video and
I'm not really big on doing reaction videos because a lot of those exists and
people like hey check it out this is blender 2.8 I'm finally talking about it
like that's cool and all and some big channels are definitely doing that and I
give them kudos for that but I've been doing videos using blender 2.8 while it
was in beta and then released Candidate so I've been at this for a little while
and I have a video up here that details a lot of the new changes in 2.8 so if
you're interested you can check that out and it goes through a lot of what's
really new as they were building it so some new things exist obviously like
these these these new glyphs over here the colorful glyphs they've been here
for a little while the the workspaces they haven't changed much so you have
like modeling sculpting UV editing so on and so forth rendering and comping a lot
of this stuff is very very similar to the videos that I've been doing for a
while so if you want you can check out that video that I linked to up there
what I'm really excited about now honestly as a guy who's come from many
many different software packages is we finally have a working nicely documented
reference manual this this hasn't really existed it's it's been there but it's
been very sparsely populated now it seems to be very robust and I'm really
really excited about digging into this I think this this is right here is where
you can learn a whole lot about the software if you just have the patience
to read and it's it's a really really helpful system so I'm very excited about
that and for those who are asking you know how can I learn blender 2.8 there's
quite a nice resource that they've provided now and I'll show you that in a
minute here but first I want to talk about the second thing I'm really
excited about and that's some news that has come out recently that that Ubisoft
animation studio has adopted blender as their main digital content creation
package that's huge for people learning blender okay they're they're relatively
large game publisher and them adopting this is
pretty pretty sweet so shout out to anybody at Ubisoft you who likes this
and shout out to those you might not like it
i-i've been in your shoes both times and both ways and that's kind of uh you know
good and bad but for us it's really awesome and epic also shot them a 1.2
million dollar grant which is really really huge so that these two things
right here I'm watching with with bated breath because I think that's going to
change quite a bit of blender over the coming you know couple of years and the
fact that it was its de Graaff that's really cool too so those who want to
learn blender I am going to do something that many other videos don't do for
better or worse I'm gonna show you that there is now a really cool little area
this is existed in blender for a while let me find it for you so if you're on
the blender homepage and you go to support and you go to tutorials okay
that says check out the free tutorials here there is now a whole published
section and I'm not quite sure how long this was up but I don't think it's been
all that long so if you go over here to YouTube that you're probably watching my
video on here there's an entire playlist and I'm gonna link to this in my own
video and I'm going to send you here because I do have faith in my own videos
and I would love you to watch them all and learn from me that's cool I love
that but these are done by the blender foundation and they're really short and
really good and really helpful I just said really a whole lot tonight that's
okay and you can learn a whole lot from these so I would start here and then
branch out this is probably this and the manual are two things that I would
definitely definitely start using to learn blender 2.8 because it is quite a
bit different than blender 2.79 but it is blender 2.8 now is is definitely in
line with a lot of other software out there so I'm gonna link to this in the
in the description I would recommend checking out these videos and then you
know come back to my channel cuz I love you too but well I'm going to
you hear because this is awesome so hopefully you got something out of this
video if you did hit like subscribe share it definitely check this area out
cuz I think this will help you a lot and then when you get more comfortable with
it subscribe to my channel feel free to come back and check me out and hopefully
that works and I will talk to you in the next video bye
