Poster updated 09/03/2021, America’s cup Edition
A while ago on the island of Seuraasari, Finland, I met an artist craftsman building ships in the bottles. He asked me if I knew the trick… The answer is quite simple but the final result still smacks of magic and ancient sea legends…

Suzanne in late summer look with glasses is introducing 2.9, with a colorful poster update.
Non manifold extrude is probably the most intriguing modeling update in Blender 2.9. I was waiting it for a long time, since I tried Google SketchUp, and I think it could be the default extruding option. Now it’s included as a tip into the infographic.

New update for Blender Poster, 24/03/2020 release. Covid-19 quarantine is really having strong (good) consequences in learning Blender. Quarantine is having the counterstrike in giving us so much time learning and experimenting with Blender. I hope it will be the right time for everyone to rise up the learning curve; it’s indeed much better than the sad stats of sicks and deaths from newsreports.

The monkey fist has always been my favorite knot. One of the most difficult to achieve: I spent a whole summer in the 90’s to accomplish a sufficient one. With a ball of paper in the center, or better, a lead ball.
Because the monkey fist, a perfect sphere made of tighten rope necks, resembling strong thin fingers, was a useful knot: used as a throwing weight, on the docks for mooring lines.

The day when I was drawing the illustrations in the weather section, and the cumulonimbus specifically, it happened the same evening that I met a real one, as it could have taken out exactly from my infographic map.
Shortly thereafter, a storm of lightning and raining happened just as the weather visual forecasts promises. The menacing mushroom-shaped column of the cumulonimbus leaves no hope: nearby lightning and extreme weather are probable, just as written on the map.
A new version for “Learn blender with a poster”, 1.73 for Blender 2.79. As today, the Blender infographic poster has been downloaded more than 110.000 times, and I’m so glad. Developers, teachers and designers are really loving this giant shortcut map and I’m encouraged to update. Thanks for all the suggestions and hints about it.
As it is evolving now with so dense and complex diagrams (I’m also getting many complaints about it) it’s not only a list of shortcuts. It’s basically my reference mind map of functions in blender. I’m including every note or tip I risk to forget in time and I use it to plan my workflow on every modeling project.

All about sailing in a poster updated! A new piece of sailing history is in the illustrated timeline: roman galea with its typical rostrum and bow eye. I added a block and connected with the figure eight knot, making the bottom right frame even more appealing. Some improvements in lettering and on some details on various graphics elements.
The version 1.6 of Learn Blender with a Poster introduce some of the new functions from Blender 2.78. New mustload add-ons: Carves, Archimesh, Measure It. Edit mode select region (ctrl+shift+RC). Driver inputs (ctrl+d), very useful to sync transformations on different axis. More connections between nodes, I’m really trying to tie functions and techniques. Minor fixes and graphic improvements.
