I actually forgot to mention one amazing built-in add-on! It's called Add Mesh: Extra Objects. I use it all the time and it adds additional mesh objects and shapes which you can simply add to your scenes with Shift+A. Definitely make sure to enable it! 🤓
Shift A?
Yep that one haha! Ill edit my comment, oopsie
J mesh and j curve are also great free addons
Yes they save me some time always
@@KaizenTutorials you forgot the #add
I haven't used Blender for a year, and I needed to remember all the basic setups that I made years ago! This video is a perfect start! Thank you for summarizing everything we need to know! I wish you reach a million subs! Good luck! And thanks!
Thank you! Really appreciate that and I hope to reach that mystical million one day too. 🙌🏻
One of my favorite add-ons is Loop Tools. It makes it really easy to do things like Bridge when editing. Just select your vertices, right-click and it's right there on top.
Loop tools is a great Builtin Addon for sure!
Congrats on 100k man! Videos like this is an incredible resource for myself and my team of video game 3D artists. We're uptraining some 2D artists to 3D too so stuff like this is just tremendous help.
Thank you and thank you! Love to here comments like these. Glad I can play a part in people’s growth!
Congratulations on 100k! I've learned a ton of useful information from your channel. Here's to the next 100k and beyond. Cheers.
Thanks a lot!
You're a goldmine. We appreciate your work so clean so intricate and professional. Inspiring work!
Thanks so much 😊
Cycle renders took so long, the gpu preference trick helps, thanks so much!
You're welcome!
Congrats on the 100k subs! You've earned it! Keep on creating valuable Blender content! On a side note regarding splitting viewport windows, here's a fun fact: Click-dragging from an upper corner of a window and then holding down the Control key creates a new split viewport window using snap increments! This is handy if say, you want to split a viewport window to 50%-50%. This is not limited to creating a new window however! Begin sliding a window border (to resize it) and then once again hold down the Control key while click dragging will also result in snapping the window border's position!
Great tip! Thanks for sharing it. And thanks for the kind words 🤗
The autosave feature has saved me from many many hours of pain. Thank you!
Nice video, Kaizen. It took me a decade to make all these second-nature but I wish I knew it before I started! Then again, Blender changes and evolves constantly and some of these came out very recently in my timeline lol.
Thanks a lot! Yeah these things constantly change and they do make a real difference. That’s for sure!
thank you for sharing
Congratulations on 100K and thank you for so much great support and content for us!
Thank you, appreciate it! Glad to help :-D
This is the king of videos to save in the must have list, for whenever you're in a situation when you have a fresh install.
Wow, thanks for the big praise!
Really awesome video. The built-in add-ons you mentioned are great and I feel bad for not digging into them sooner!
Thanks and no worries, they're quite confusing sometimes when you don't know what they are, so it makes sense to leave 'm be when you're new.
Thanks for this! btw that click sound is sooo satisfying
Glad you liked it!
I should say that using a trackpad for Blender modeling is pure masochism. Always carry a small mouse with you lol.
SM is a thing you know 😜
finally, save ui was what i needed omg ty
the load ui checkbox was new to me :) good to know, thanks!
Congratulations on your 100K subscribers! You certainly deserve them. Great channel.
Thank you, appreciate it! 🎉
I already missed a video of yours, thanks Kaizen!
Awh, thanks! Appreciate it. More frequent videos following again :-D
Thank you!! Have implemented most of these :)
Awesome!
Yooo that was so Awesome. Specially the camera Rig Addon is gonna help me a lot in the future.
Thanks Harnai!
8:32 You can also right click and select vertical/horizontal split, so you don't accidentally join two workspaces. This was introduced on 3.0 or something.
Nice, yeah I like that better than clicking in corners tbh!
Great video!! Really nice for getting started. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Great Work
Thank you!
Congrats on 100k bro👍
Thank you so much 😀
Enabling developer extras also allows you to enable and specify a disk cache for the video sequencer, instead of just relying on prefetching and proxies when video editing.
Ooh nice one, didn't know that!
Well deserved, excellent content.
Thank you!
Thanks for all these helpful tips! 👍😃
You're very welcome!
Let's gooooooo!
Awesome vid man 💪
Thanks dude! 🙏
I have a desktop with full keyboard and scroll-wheel mouse -- and I use the "emulate 3-button mouse" because for me it's so much easier to use the keyboard modifier to rotate than to push down on the scroll wheel of my mouse. Nice to have options.
Never thought about it like that, but yeah it's good to have options!
CONGRATULATIONS man! I can't believe you don't have MORE ....
1MILLION SUBS here we come!
Aah thanks a lot! Yeah I really hope to be able to get 1 million some day! It's truly a dream!
@@KaizenTutorials again congrats, well done so far, you deserve it bro.

You're welcome!
Me solucionaste la vida con este video , gracias a el me di cuenta que mi blender crasheaba porque tenia activado el "gpu subdivisión" y mi gragica no era compatible , gracias
De nada! Glad I could help :-)
Somebody probably said it already but if you select "view" in that second from the top left bar, and then fiddle about with the submenus you should find an option to toggle "quad view" in place of the four windows. I find that to be more convenient with less windows to deal with and less toolbars and menu bars, and it doesn't let you accidently offset the orthographic perspective. Downside is that means I don't think you can change which ortho perspectives you're seeing, but better than me constantly forgetting which views are supposed to be dedicated
Good tip, thanks!
@KaizenTutorials yeah, I was planning from the start to make something amazing right out the gate, but that kept failing, so I got into the taskmaster mode of trying to find everything in the interface and look it up until I had a very clear idea what it all meant. If you're already good, it's not totally necessary, but I highly recommend it because I've found so many neat tricks like that
>100k congrats... Well deserved! 👍
Thank you very much!
Great video!
Thanks a lot! 🙏🏻
oh boy i cant wait to turn these on
🙏🏻👌🏻
I would suggest adding a contect_toggle shortcut so laptop users and tablet users can tooggle on and off the emulate 3 button mode. If its ON, you cant use alt the apply inouts to multiple selected objects
Hmm yeah that would be nice
3:39 Back to square one! Nnoice lol!
insane tutorial
Thanks! Atleast I hope that's positive haha
few things, great blender channel. How do you get your sounds they are really good. Love the old style tv channel way of showing Patreon user name. Thanks for all the hard work.

GPU subdivision is the most bugged function. Very often I saw messages from different people when after using the Subdivision modifier their objects just disappear. And the main reason was GPU subdivision. So be careful with this.
Hmm ok, haven’t experienced that yet! But good to know 👌🏻
afaik this only happens when you dont have a discrete gpu
Great!
Thanks!
As a person who has way to many addons I use all in built and more
Nice❤
Thank you!
Orbit Around selection and zoom to cursor fits only limited purposes. It doesnot fit massive cluttered scenes.
Hmm I like it in all scenarios, but I can see what you mean yeah.
very nicee❤
Thank you!
02:50. I have always rendered with optix, my Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 and AMD Ryzen 7 4800H with Radeon Graphics both turned on. When you had your AMD turned off, I was a bit conflicted. So I did a test render with the scene I am currently working on. With just the Nvidia turned on, it rendered in 33 seconds but with both on, it rendered in 40 seconds. Maybe this is just applies to the scene but I'd run another test with a different scene in future to see how that works out. But with the aforementioned specs, does it mean my AMD kind of hampers my GPU during rendering?
Yeah your CPU bottlenecks your GPU basically. I've heard that if you have a CPU that outperforms your GPU it does make your renders go faster to have both on, but in almost all cases this is not how it works since most people have a CPU that bottlenecks their GPU.
@@KaizenTutorials Oh okay, good to know. Thank you
@@KaizenTutorialsthe blender team fixed that but in 3.2 I believe, so if you do test renders now you should see that GPU plus CPU is a little faster than GPU alone. It was a load balancing issue from what I remember reading
I know your not supposed to have more then a handful of at least paid addons at a time but could you have as many of the free ones on in blender since they may not be has heavy resources on your computer? I got the 4070 ti so I should be good but just wondering as a new blender user :)
Also congrats on the subs
Shouldn’t be an issue at all! The built in addons are light. And thanks, appreciate it!
Hey man, for some reason I can't seem to get my walls perfectly white in Cycles. Is there a workaroud for this or is it just a disadvantage of Blender?
The walls are a little grey-ish
The default white color in Blender is not 100% white, so you'll have to make sure the material you add uses a 100% white color. Alternatively this could also be a result of the lighting you're using. If for example you use a sky texture your walls will never be 100% white as a result of the bounce lighting and light absorption.
Great content as usual.
My comment below should not be taken as a 'negative' at all;
I find many of these 'Blender settings' videos are VERY context related.
For example, I generally use Blender as just a Modeling and Texture tool. Therefore, many of these settings are great.
However, should I use Blender for compositing or grease pencil work, animation or rigging, pure texture work (let's not even get into Blender as a compositing tool) or any of the other multitudes of tasks that Blender is useful for, the 'settings' presented do little or nothing (in those cases).
I guess my point is pretty simple.
Blender is capable of SO many things that a single video of 'best settings' video will always be limited by the producer's particular use case for Blender.
Again, great video. I just wanted to point out that the 'best settings' should always be based on HOW you (the artist) uses Blender.
Thanks and yes very true. These settings are what I perceive to be most useful for the things I tend to do in Blender!
For that 4 view part. Why not use quad view. Much easier and everytmivee along in rwch window area section. If i remember correctly
I mean yeah you can use that just fine. I was more or less just showcasing how to edit a workspace and save it for future use!
Gpu subdivision W..T..F.. so glad I watched this! Years, YEARSS
Haha sorry mate, it's such a simple fix but sadly a lot of people don't know it.
3:12
i have 3060 TI and ryazen 5950x
and GPU+CPU faster if both is ON
Ah ok! Well it could be Blender changed things to be honest.
8.11 how did you make that white ribs on cube and it’s self coloured
If you mean the shading on the cube; that's because of a matcap I'm using instead of Blender's default viewport shader.
worth mentioning: Zoom to Mouse Cursor
Nice addition, absolutely!
what about blender's built in lightning addons?
Pretty useful, but I don't really use them often. So that's why I decided not to mention them!
the "emulate numpad" is actually also a benifit to 60% and 10keyless keayboard users
cuz we dont have a numpad
Very true!
Hybrid rendering on GPU + CPU MIGHT for many people actually be faster for very complex scenes.
Maybe so yeah, but in my testing it definitely isn't. But on lower end pc's you're probably right.
In my experience Kaizen is right. On an RTX 1050Ti I didn't notice a problem (Win 8.1) but on an RTX 3080 (Win 11) OMG just a cube took several times longer (so, a few seconds, but I didn't benchmark a more complex scene)
@@NotSoMuchFrankly It highly depends on your CPU and tilesize. Many people still have their default tilesize set to something very high because this was faster than low tile sizes before CyclesX. Now if the tilesize is 64x64, the performance should be good for both CPU and GPU. I'fe had some scenes taht rendered faster on Hybrid. I have an old GPU though. GTX 1080 and Ryzen 5 1600.
I love your name KaiZen 😍😍
Thank you! 💚
Is there a disadvantage to setting OptiX to both GPU and CPU? I have Ryzen 7700X CPU and an NVIDIA RTX 4080.
Not as far as I knoow. Especially when using Optix rendering. Optix is optimized to use NVIDIA GPU's to their full potential, so the CPU just limits that effect in this case. I believe in CUDA, adding in your CPU could help, but I'm not 100% sure about that. So the short answer; is there a disadvantage? No, besides slightly longer render times.
I want to know what is going on @ 7:59 ! That looks super interesting!
Thats actually a part of this video; The NEW Geometry Nodes Gamechanger!

@@KaizenTutorials Sweet!!! Absolutely love the channel and your way of conveying the import info!
@@dez7852 thank you, means a lot to hear these kind words! 🤗
I think if anyone hasn't heard of node-wrangler before, they probably haven't watched more than 1 blender tutorial... xD
I think you're right 😂
As a foreign the thing that makes me curious about it, is this guy saying "why", everywhere i go i see him, i just want to actually meet who he is, than the meme will makes sense to me, well even without knowing him its stills funny xD
Hahaha it's a meme. I believe he's a pastor, preaching something!
"Make sure to set to GPU only"
me on a 2014 macbook pro: "sure. I have that. I think."
Lol, sorry bro haha
3:10 what if I have a cpu with integrated graphics and a GPU?
What would be the difference?
It all boils down to testing. In my current setup (4090 and Ryzen 7900X) I have a CPU with integrated graphics too and using both is significantly faster. On my previous setup (3070 and Ryzen 7 3700X) I didn't have integrated graphics but it was still faster. On my setup before that (1060 and Ryzen 5) it was absolutely faster to ONLY use the GPU. So it really depends!
@@KaizenTutorials alright thanks for responding
what does the relative Paths mean?
which relative path?
GPU Subdivisions is a standard setting?
It’s not enabled by default. But it is a default available setting yes
2:25 Well.. honestly, "Orbit Around Selection" SUСKS.
There is a MUCH better way to choose the orbit point - just "ALT + MIDDLE MOUSE CLICK" will set the orbit point on mesh or on ANY point in a Scene, which was clicked this way.
Such approach gives MUCH more freedom and agility for work, than "Orbit Around Selection"
Good tip, thanks for sharing! 💡
Are you actually getting faster renders yourself by disabling the CPU while using Optix?
I've been using both CPU and GPU, and just out of curiosity i tried doing a render with only the GPU. Using the exact same settings my render time increased from 12 minutes to about 34.
I'm on a bit of a lopsided system though, with a Ryzen 5900X and a 2060 Super, so my GPU doesn't quite keep up in general. I'm sure different scenes would be affected differently but i'm still having a hard time seeing how disabling my CPU would give me shorter render times, even with a more powerful GPU.
If you've done tests yourself and found that render times go down overall, i'm curious as to why that is, because it seems completely counterintuitive. I see no reason as to why the CPU would hamper the GPU's performance rather than help.
I agree it seems conterintuitive. If you look at my video on improving render speed I say to use both GPU and CPU. But if you're using Optix specifically, only using the GPU is significantly faster. I've tested it and only using GPU on my system (Ryzen 3700X and 3070Ti) I got about a 6 second faster render without CPU. Probably because my CPU is bottlenecking my GPU. In your case it's probably the other way around!
@@KaizenTutorials Right, i looked around a bit and it seems this is an effect of how hybrid rendering is done, at least within Cycles. However, this means that this advice is only actually applicable to those with a CPU bottleneck. I would encourage other people to actually test this out for themselves and not blindly disable the CPU for rendering.
Though i'm sure most people tend to have a lesser CPU, since a putting more money into the GPU is generally more favorable. I've simply been stuck with mine because of the ridiculous prices of new graphics cards.
Nice T-shirt, however, in that setting, why not a tuxedo?
Thanks haha, yeah maybe.. why not? 😜
Can we do a tutorial for themes
I could, but it would be 10 hours long since there's about 3000 options to change haha
Whenever i open my blender.
It uses 30-40% of gpu without processing anything. Can anybody help??
Hmm ok. what GPU do you have?
I turned up my undo steps to max, because my happy little accidents look like ass.
I have no access to newer hardware so I'm stuck with cpu rendering. I guess the devs just could'nt imagine anyone would use a newer version of blender on a computer that "old".
Ah dang! Yeah maybe not, I think Blender still performs pretty good on older PC's, just not for rendering perse.
Pay attention, I think that ''Load factory settings'' will reset any customization, and this could be painful. A subcommand to reset only the default Blender startup file would be useful.
That's 100% correct! But sadly it's the only way to do it... I agree a subcommand to just reset a certain part would be convenient!
@@KaizenTutorials 👍
I keep a folder of preference files so if I accidentally mess something up or load factory settings, I can re-open my saved .blend and then Save Startup File, then open a new file so I don't overwrite my preference file.
Also, you can export-import themes and short-cut keys from the respective sections of the File Preference window. Not as good b/c it seems to hide the keymap preferences 'panel'.
