Jump into a full Blender livestream where I take real-time viewer requests and build whatever comes up, no prep, no script. From stylized fire shaders in Eevee to modeling needle nose pliers and experimenting with geometry nodes for effects like rain droplets, this session covers a wide range of practical workflows.

If you're learning Blender, this is a raw look at how to think through problems, not just follow steps. Start learning Blender with CG Cookie, join the site here[$]: https://b3d.cgcookie.com/b3d-yt

What you’ll learn:
How to create a stylized fire shader (Eevee + Cycles approaches)
Real-time product modeling workflow (pliers example)
Geometry nodes basics (point distribution, proximity effects)
Fake metaballs and smooth merging tricks
Material tips: bump vs normal maps, procedural textures
Practical problem-solving mindset inside Blender

This is less about perfection and more about how to approach unknown problems in Blender.



Blender is at its best when you stop waiting for the perfect setup and start testing ideas. This stream is exactly that: practical problem-solving, iteration, and a lot of useful side paths along the way.
