MESSAGE:
At least 1.5 Months in the making (as I needed to get a deeper insight into the matter first) this is my first Blender tutorial.
It´s not centered on a specific workflow but tries to capture the essence of my experience working with the famous open source software.
I really hope all the effort pays of and you have a good and more important, knowledgeable experience watching the video.

As always I hope you enjoy!
