Hello,

I've just finished shading the arms, coal, carrot, and pipe.  There is mention of shading the hat and scarf in the next video; however, the next video is rendering the final snowman.  I'm happy to be wrong, but I think a video is missing.  Thank you!

I saw some people doing this, and it seems like a good way to keep track of my progress, so here it goes. 

This is the first original blender project I've made, after following a couple basic tutorials on mesh modeling

A catalogue of my progress

That bonus animation that you've provided with this course looks amazing!

As far as I can see, there is not some other course here where you've explained how you have done it? I would really like to learn how to do something like that.

A new feature in Blender 2.91 could probably be useful for sculpting the scarf: It's the "Cloth Collision " here. You can turn it on here (red circle):

Is there a special benefit of using "Paths"  instead of "Bezier Curves"? What are their respective fields of application?

chunck In the video you're creating "Linked Copies" of the "Hat Mesh Object" and the "Lattice". So you're creating two new object, one of which containing new mesh data. Manipulating one object also changes the other object, but they're nevertheless separate objects that are just connecting in terms of editing. 

An "Instance" of a "Mesh Object" on the other hand doesn't create new geometry but adds an empty at the cursor location and an "3D Image" of your original object with an offset to the empty that reflects the distance between the orignal object and the "Wordl Origin":

1) Put the "Hat Mesh Object" and the "Lattice" into a new "Collection" and name it "Hat"

2) Snap the "Cursor" to the position of the "Hat Mesh Object" and move the latter with its "Lattice" to another location

3) Add a new "Hat Collection Instance"

4) You'll get an "Empty" and an "Image" of the "Hat Collection" with an Offset mentioned above

5) Parent the "Lattice" to the "Hat Mesh Object"

6) Clear the location for the "Hat Mesh Object"

The "Instance" of the "Hat Mesh Object" is now at the "Instance Empty" which is at the original position of the "Hat Mesh Object"

7) New "Instances" of the "Hat Mesh Object" can be added to the scene and transformed be manipulating the "Instance Empty" accordingly

Now for one "Hat" in the scene it's actually easier to create a "Linked Copy" of the "Hat Mesh Object" and its lattice. But for a bigger amount of copies, "Instances" save a lot of geometry and therefore memory space.
