Suzanne in late summer look with glasses is introducing 2.9, with a colorful poster update.

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.

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.

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.

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.
