I just started paying attention to Blender again after some years. The tutorials Ian Hubert does really demonstrates how powerful the product has become - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lY8Ol2n4o4A
Came here to say this. This video of his really opened my eyes to what Blender can do (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lY8Ol2n4o4A) and makes a cool entry point into that world.
Man, this software has come a looooong way since I first touched it back in 1997. That is absolutely amazing.
