    @Matt
    You have to select the vertices and then click and drag the z (blue) arrow up.

    @Matt, also, don’t forget the extrude step.

    Andrew can move and talk a bit fast at times, so it’s easy for someone new to blender to miss a step or two.

    Nobody seems worry about the moment at 25 : 40 when the author flat the cap of the pot ( tout va bien ). I search for more one day the button for this manip and I couldn’t understand what magic function is !!! I see just he using this in Edit mode, he didn’t use the sculpt mode which I don’t want.
    there is nothing to see here about this ghost function :

      Hey,
      The function is called Proportional editing. When turned on it moves other objects or vertices close to the selected part.

      So turn it on with O, then select the top vertex, and move it down. Use the mouse wheel to change the radius of the effect.

      Hope this helps :)

    Hi Andrew I only discovered Blender three weeks ago but have been watching just about all your tutorials and many on Blender Cookie and the like for arround 14 hours a day since then ( I can’t practise to much as my laptop cant’t cope, I have ordered a desk top but have to wait for it to be buit, hopefully it will arrive this week) yor tutorials are great and I have learned so much, please don’t worry about going to slow as for me the longer the lesson the better, could you show us how to make an animated waterfall ?

    thak you very much for all your hard work and for producing an excellent book I have read it once but it is takeing it’s time sinking in as I can not practise It will really be a WOW factor if I could produce work like yours soon thank you again

    Mark

    I render your finisfed blender without textures and it is looking GREAT, nice white and seft shadows. I dont see any lamps in the scene! I render my finished blender kitchen and the result is with one light in the scene ok but i got black areas(without light on the object). how can i get the same render as you? where is your light? i mean only the first part of tutorial.

    I hope you understand because my english is not good to explane better.

    I hope you got my question.

    Looking forward to read the answer

    Best regards Romy

    Hi Andrew, another very good tutorial and very useful, I’ve learnt a lot from it but I don’t understand (well, I’m Italian, even though I’ve got cousins living in Australia) where I can find other tutorials about modeling the other objects in the kitchen that you don’t explain. Thank you and thanks again for your wonderful tutorials, you’re great!!!!

    The best part of this tut is Andrew explaining that each tutorial takes 4 or 5 times to record. I feel more comfortable with Blender hearing that I don’t necessarily have to be that quick in creating a scene. I learn just as much from seeing an instructor’s human imperfections.

    The architectural scenes, filled with many objects, show a great way to try out several different techniques.

    ….and Andrew’s conversational chatter makes the whole thing feel less like instruction and more like watching a friend show a new or quicker or different way of doing something

    Hi Andrew and thank’s soo much for your wonderful tutorials ! :)

    I have a problem:

    When you model the sink (it’s well ? I’m french, sorry…), I don’t understend the operations after the mirror modifier.

    Can you explain this step please ?

    Thank’s a lot, i’m a completly beginner on Blender…

    Hi Andrew, just found your site yesterday so sorry if i didn’t read every comment ;) what i wanted to ask is why you didn’t use the screw modifier for the water tap. would be much easier, would’t it? greetz from germany :)
