Hello and welcome to Beyond Blender. I'm Theo and I've been designing professionally for over 30 years. I say that, not to imply that I'm amazing and the best (I'm really not!🤣). I created this channel as a way to have some fun making random stuff in Blender, share my Blender knowledge, techniques, and maybe even learn a few tips and tricks along the way.
Yes, I make some goofs here and there (told you I'm not the best!) and I'll often keep those moments in my videos, for better or worse. Why? Because failure is a good teacher. In fact, I encourage you to not be afraid of making mistakes, it's part of any learning - not just in Blender but all software and life too. Give it your best shot... always.
If you enjoy my content, please consider subscribing, it really helps my content reach more Blender enthusiasts and all creative folk. Share the love!
Have fun and please do ask a question or leave a comment - I typically reply to each and every comment.
Thank you 😊

🟠LIVE! Join me tonight for the third stream in this Blender project: the Bell Bullitt helmet! Along with some chat and any questions, the aim is to complete the basic Procedural materials (especially the large red circle on the side), model some interior padding and maybe the screwhead. Join me at 8.00pm GMT+2 or CET (GMT+1). If in doubt, find the stream on the Live tab of this channel.

Calling all my awesome subscribers and Blender users! Q. Would you enjoy a live stream where I try to answer your Blender related questions, or try stuff out (within reason), or maybe I model something (like the helmet below) and share how I go about doing that in real-time? Leave your choice below - every vote counts! Thank you 😊

After a bunch of travelling, I'm now back and working on a new project - here's a VERY early test model. I'll post more as I find my feet with this one; for now, this is my third or fourth attempt at finding a decent process for modelling this helmet (it's called the Bell Bullitt Culture Classic motorcycle helmet).
Where have I been I hear you ask? Rocky territory! No, not the nature kind but the movie kind - in Philadelphia! 🥊

The result of me dabbling in some Material creation in Blender, using the Fluent Materializer add-on by CG Thoughts. I don't usually post about any 3D tests that I do in the background, or testing of add-ons and such, but I want to give a shout out where I feel it's deserved.
FM enables you to create multi-layered materials, using procedural and/or image based nodes. Very cool stuff.
And I've just seen that the Superhive Spring Sale is now on from May 20-26, where you can find this, and many other add-ons, discounted by a whopping 25%!
Anyhow, if you're interested in learning more about Fluent Materializer, then check it out here:
superhivemarket.com/products/fluent-materializer/?…
Q1. Am I being paid to promote this add-on? No, in fact, I bought it myself (a while back) as I liked the look of it.
Q2. Are you affiliated with CG Thoughts, the creators of the add-on? Nope.
Q3. Did they ask you to post this? No, Sir!
Q4. Is there a catch? No. I'm just sharing stuff that I like - maybe you'll find it useful too.
Q5. Anything else? Yes. The link above is a referral link (not a bad thing!), it simply means that if someone buys the add-on when using the link above, I might get a teeny weeny tiny commission - it doesn't add any cost to the buyer of course so it's a win-win for all parties. PLUS, any support for the work I put into my videos is always appreciated.
I'll try to share more as someone might find these posts useful and maybe even inspirational! 🫡

Surfboard tutorial update 2: here are some surfboard skins I've been testing. Plus, I've pretty much completed the Part 1 video. All that's left to do is to create an intro animation, possibly featuring all of the skins shown here 😊

Hello! 🫡 I just wanted to express my thanks to each and every one my subscribers - your support for the channel is very much appreciated, truly, and means a lot to me. With that said, a quick update from me about content. Yes, I am working on something but it's the early stages yet. Bear with me as I prepare what is going to be a very cool project for all Blender fans! 👉🏼 If you're a beginner, then I believe my next project will be especially helpful for you. And, no, not a doughnut in sight! Let's try something new, that brings a lot more of Blender's core frequently used modelling features and techniques up front and centre - which will better prepare you for future learning. Watch this space! Bye for now and see you all soon! 😊💖
☺️In the meantime, I'd love to hear your suggestions, if there's any particular model or aspect of Blender you'd like to see me tackle - maybe you're having a problem with an existing project, I'm happy to help (if I can!) and support you. Let me know and maybe we can arrange something where I share a possible solution for you.

A brief update from me as we head into the weekend - I'm sharing an early preview of the Beyond Blender website that I'm working on. Very much work in progress (everything is subject to change) but it gives you a taste of what's to come. I'm really excited to be putting this together, a place where I can share so much more with you all. For now, enjoy the weekend and I'll see you all soon in my next video. If you have any suggestions on what you'd like to see on the website, I'd love to hear it! Thanks 🫡

Busy busy busy! But fear not, as always, I'm working away in the background on more content for you 🫡with that said, here's an early peek at a one-off video showing you how to use one image texture on one object. Pfft! Easy enough? Yes! But, what if you want to slice that object up and keep the texture map intact? Find out soon...
