  1. I ALWAYS turn off those annoying gizmos. Now I am taking a Maya class in school and I can't use the keyboard to do things in Maya :(. It's hard for me to believe that anyone can stand to use that program professionally, for the simple reason of having to use those vexing widgets.

  2. The simulated bear isn't working on my mac. I thought it would just work on 2.70, so I downloaded this version. But it is still not working.
    If I press spacebar and tipe ,,sim,, nothing is there. Can anybody help me? =D

  3. 4:22 wow so that's how disney are making thier new 2d animations using 3d?(like paperman, and I guess tangled the series) awesome! I love everything about this video😍 I can't believe it's a nine minutes video and I haven't skipped and sec, great work👏

  4. Great video, but I don't know, cannnot figure out how did you do the 2nd tip, which keyS you pressed after the "Tris to Quads", and can you maybe enable the show keys function next time to see what exactly you have pressed? :3
