This is what Blender needed! - How to use Pose Library 2.0 | Blender 3....
I was trying to edit a free 3D model of a sitting man with rigging. It means that I am able to change the poses by editing the armatures. Select the armature in object mode but change to edit mode to change the pose. If you go to the edit mode, you do not have the poses, so my man is actually standing up in the edit mode.
These poses are actually saved so I was worried of changing the original poses so was looking for ways to edit poses. Actually, we cannot edit poses, but we can modify poses and store the results to be used later on. Blender 3.0 allows you to store these poses, called assets in a library. This video explains it well.

Camera Tips and Tricks || Blender 2.93
I spent too much time aligning cameras that the tips shown here are most useful.
Useful techniques that I learn not listed in the index:
2 3d Viewport windows
You can have 2 3d Viewport windows at once. You can replace the outline window at the default top right with another 3d Viewport window. Make sure you know how to return to the Outline window so that we can keep track of our objects.
Move camera while in camera view (2:50):
You can move the camera using the cursor while in camera view. Just select camera, before you go into Camera View, and then G.
Move camera directly to the point of view (3:30):
Circling around an object (4:07):
Move camera while in camera view (10:30):
While in camera view, press Shift-`, at the top left of the keyboard. No need to select the camera first. You can use the keyboard the navigate the camera. ASWD keys.
Problems with auto recording:
I tried the auto keyin, but does not work properly for me. After pressing Space, which is Play for the Youtuber, it automatically records keystrokes, but I do not see how the key strokes are entered. When I tried to enter mine, there were delays. Better to insert key strokes manually by pressing I at the required frame.
Blue Tint in Blender Viewport
I suffered from Blue Tint in Blender Viewport for days. It makes my editing difficult because I cannot see the colours well. As it turned out, it was a feature to display geometric faces as bluish if the normal is outward whiich is good, and red when it is inward, whiich is bad.
https://www.reddit.com/r/blenderhelp/comments/ph6qin/all_objects_in_viewport_have_a_blue_tint/
In your viewport Overlay settings on the top right...under one of the icons...you have activated "Face Orientation". That is all :)
Blue is good, by the way. Red would be bad.

6 Most BASIC Blender MATERIALS (Eevee and Cycles Tutorial)
The best tutorial on setting the materials in Blender. He showed how to set EEV renderer to render transparent and translucent materials. I was suprised that roughness is so important because it determines the reflection on the surface. The lowerst value will get us a mirror.

How To Fix Blender 2.8+ Unsupported graphics card or driver - Opengl 3.3...
This one works and much simpler. I was able to run Blender 3 using 2nd gen Intel CPU in Steam just by pasting the opengl32.dll into the bin directory.
Intel Hd Graphics 3000 support Opengl 3.3
It does not using latest version to run Blender 3 from Steam. I tried the latest version instead of that used in the video. Too many files installed, but may be useful for some other software.
