About

Andrew Price creates tutorials for the free open source 3D software "Blender". Born in Australia in 1988, Andrew has created Blender tutorials since 2008. His most popular videos are the blender "donut series", which teach beginners how to use Blender while making a donut. It's been remade four times since 2017 to stay up to date with Blender's major interface changes. Andrew is Founder and CEO of Poliigon (https://www.poliigon.com) which offers premium Textures, HDRIs and Models for 3D. In 2024 Andrew moved to West Hollywood LA to be closer to the 3D industry.
