Blender 2.6 Tutorial 11 - Joining & Linking (Parent/Child)

In this video I demonstrate how to link objects in a parent/child hierarchy, so that objects can be linked (so they move and can be animated together, but also be animated separately if desired), and I demonstrate how to join two meshes into a single mesh [two parts of the hat].

Thanks for watching, and don't forget to press 'Like'!

Thankyou for this video, you are of great help to me and many others I am sure.

I'm terrible on accents, I'm British, and I assumed you were American until you mentioned the letter ZED, as the Americans would say ZEE. Am I to assume you are Canadian?

@englishmovielover Yep, I'm Canadian.

Can you do a tutorial on adding textures to objects please?

(Can you use already made images and paste them on?)

[cgboorman]

These are easily the best videos on Blender I've seen. I despaired of learning it before I found these! This is fine work, thanks. Every video just blows me away. Now I can animate!
