I did this tutorial creating an advanced cartoon eye rig(https://cgcookie.com/course/advanced-cartoon-eye-rig ) and created one eye. Can you mirror it once it is all done or should I have mirrored it as I went along (hopefully not the answer)? There are numerous modifiers on the different meshes, some shape keys, etc. Everything is in a collection, so is there a way to mirror the collection . I know that I can link the modifiers from one mesh to another, but can you do multiple different meshes at once. Even though this wasn't a newer tutorial, learned a lot and the rig did everything I would want it to do. Sorry if the question isn't that clear, would appreciate any ideas. Thanks

There are quite a few things that is being done in the videos that no longer exist, which gets you confused about what to do. 

I am unable to reproduce the same results with the Principled BSDF. Are you able to provide a snapshot of the proper nodes?  I appreciate the help, thanks!

I cannot find it an it is mentioned in  Lighting with Realistic Values and Colors

Took my entire day to get this thing done with very little breaks between, this was really difficult, but fun! I could've fixed it up a bit more with the chin and neck but I got a bit lost with fixing the topology of the nose (example will be below this picture) I added a shape key to make the character look a little animated along with some teeth and a tongue! I might try rigging this later with another CGCookie tutorial. Animating with proportional editing is a lot of fun, squash and stretch away!

Having a lot of fun in general with these tutorials, your explanations are comprehensive and thorough! I used to do a lot of modelling 4 + years ago and just stopped until just a week and a half ago when I came back to CGCookie. Coming back has been even better with tutorial courses like this! :)

My question in regards to redirecting topology flow is, can I try constructing a diamond cut like the example below this photo to fix up the nose? I really could not define the shape without adding edge loops around the eyes since the diamond cut was really difficult to achieve. I probably should've planned ahead a little better with the nose in the beginning.

Hi friends,

I want to share something I'm struggling with and something I'm curious about.

Due to my physical disability (muscular dystrophy), I often have trouble using tools the way they were built. I'm always looking for creative workarounds and shortcuts.

I studied product design and engineering, and for my whole life, I’ve had a passion for making art. When I heard about Blender, I loved its promise: Create any 3D image you can imagine, without needing the physical strength to lift canvases or operate lathes. For the past few years, I was learning as much Blender as I could. Some things were quite difficult because I wanted to do them in non-standard ways (e.g., with an Apple Magic Mouse instead of a 3-button mouse), but I did my best to find or design solutions.

Then, a few months ago, I lost another muscle in my stronger hand. This means I can no longer use the computer setup I used before. Typing this message takes much more effort than it ever has. But rather than give up, I'm now even more motivated to find more accessible ways to use computers and Blender. I was especially encouraged by this video of someone with a spinal cord injury using a different CAD program (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSIABD6dU1U). I have tried a head mouse similar to his, but I'm finding that it’s not a silver bullet, and I think there are ways the design of Blender itself could reduce the strain on my muscles.

That leads me to my questions for you all: Is anyone interested in accessibility as a topic (whether or not you have disabilities)? Any advice or resources you know of that could help?

I found this thread on the Blender developer forum and plan to post my story there, too. https://devtalk.blender.org/t/blender-and-accessibility-for-people-with-disabilities/5241/8

I'm curious whether anyone else here is interested in accessibility as a topic (whether or not you have disabilities), or if you have any thoughts you want to share here or on that thread.

Thank you so much!

(P.S. I hope this post doesn't appear twice. I tried to save it as a draft first, but then couldn't find it again.)

I'm needing to create a model of this tumbler for work, and I have literally no idea where to start. I've given it a few shots, but the diagonal shapes that are somehow sharp AND curved are breaking my brain. Any suggestions on how to approach this, or a class/ tutorial on here that may have relevant information? I've completed some of the basic mesh modeling courses on here already.
