Hilarious talk that critiqued Blender's interface.

Some would say this amazing diss by Captain Disillusion at BlenderCon had something to do with the major interface changes in Blender 2.8. The entire presentation is hilarious but for the interface related bit I've linked to 21m15s here: [this video]

Recommends theclaw October 2019 under Show HN: Make a video of any word forming out of candy

Captain Disillusion's great presentation at the Blender conference.

For those not aware Captain Disillusion is an impressively well produced youtube series mimicking the vibe of 90's kids TV, but for an adult audience. The Captain uses Blender for the 3D effects in his videos, and did a great presentation at the Blender conference last year [0]. The type of effect used to create these candy words is covered in the "Marble Sorting Machine" video [link] [0] [this video]
