Confession time – My kids are 6 & 8 years old, and they seem to hate Blender’s default cube. Or maybe they love it too much!! They go crazy since they make me punish that little guy in all kinds of crazy physics simulations and by the end of it they’re usually in fits of laughter. Yup, little pyschopaths on my hands right? #savethedefaultcube

If you’ve been wanting to pass on the gift of 3D laughter to others (the little cube punishing monsters are everywhere!) and maybe you’ve been bookmarking potentials. I’m hoping you’ll consider this as a worthy fun option to add to the list. 🙂

After this video you’ll know…

At least 2 methods of navigating around the 3D world

Grease Pencil Drawing
Working with keyframes in the Timeline and the Dopesheet.
Easy Quick Rendering in the 3D View.
An awkward relationship with the default cube.
And of course much more!
