I paid like 30 bucks for sped up videos with no audio commentary that "teach" you how to model a character in blender. This video alone deserves like 100 bucks and its here for free with clear and detailed tutorial. you're da man bro you're going to heaven.
Haha lol thanks man, glad it helped! When your character is looking badass gimme a shout somewhere I wanna see!
@@RussellMidfield for sure!
Finally a base mesh that is dummy thicc, thanks man
Haha she gotta dump truck beep beep
I just wanted to say thank you for your fantastic videos.
You have a quality voice for teaching, and your presentation is S tier.
Keep up the great work, and I do hope your channel blows up and grows. You certainly deserve a wider audience.
Thanks Panda Man! I'm having a great time putting these together and I'm glad that they are at least a little bit helpful. I definitely have a lot of growing to do both as an artist and video editor haha but I'm having fun along the way. Thanks again!
Yo! Your method of teaching is way better than other's I've watched. Hope to see your channel grow, and look forward to more content.
Thanks man, appreciate you saying that, I'm glad it helped!
Eagerly awaiting next video
Haha thanks for watching Mehilde!
thank you sooo much for the key visualizer, it is literally the most helpful thing for someone like me
Yeah no worries, I'm glad it helps! Yeah I find that having a guide for the general shapes is really helpful, even if you don't follow them exactly, it's nice for a general idea, then you can let your imagination run wild!
Simply put....fantastic. I have never seen this method but i like it, i like it alot.
Thanks Gerald! I'm glad it helped! Yeah blocking out and then melding them together later has really helped me, you can create different characters a little quicker without recreating the wheel each time too!
GOD bless you 😃 you make this help with your tutorials much more easy 😁
No worries! I'm glad they help!
Thank you soo much this is great :)
Yeah no worries man! Glad they help!
great video thanks!
Thanks so much!
Thank you sir
You're welcome jesu!
When I was learning to oil paint under my art teach Ms. Cynthia Parsons we moved on from that to chalk pastel drawings. She told me I needed to learn to start learning to see a portrait in shapes. I understood but it really wasn't sinking in at the time. Looking at this tutorial in one video brought it all together. Thank you so much for posting it! Thank you for even posting the blueprints to download. They are a help. The biggest question I have is that I understand if it's not possible, could I download this video for my further reference. This video would be an incredible help to really getting the basics down particularly in learning to draw and create in shapes. Thank you so much for posting this video it was a lifesaver.
Thank you so much and please take care. May God bless you incredibly today and continue your work.
That's interesting! Yes that is a really good way to learn art, stepping back.Nd seeing the shapes first! Ms. Cynthia Parsons sounds like a great teacher! Oh that's a good idea, I've been thinking about maybe creating a gumroad page where people can download some of these tutorials for free! I'll be doing that sometime in the future once I have improved the quality of these a bit.
@@RussellMidfield Thank you so much sir! I truly do appreciate it. It dosen't matter about the quality. This will be a great resource for me! Thank you again and please continue on. May God bless you incredibly today!
Thanks for the kind words! You are truly spreading joy through your positive comments, thank you!
o man ... as a beginner there's so much to learn... for example, you don't have to use just one lump of clay to sculpt a complex object... 🙈
Haha yeah, I can't do it haha, its way too hard for me! 😅
Hi Russell, glad you did human characters too.
I noticed your playlist is out of order a bit though. The same for the playlist for the big guy with the gun. If people follow the playlist, they may get confused because of this. Much thanks 😊
Hey Dennis, yeah I'll eventually do a more standard male character I think as well.
Oh hmm weird! I'll have to look into that thanks!
@@RussellMidfield np
Fixed it I think! Thanks for again the heads up, you're totally right it was confusing!
Finally! A series for a thicc chic! 😂 Way to go, Rusell! Really nice content! 💕
Haha lol yeah it was time! My first go at it I had the thighs and butt just instagram enormous but toned it down haha
@@RussellMidfield Regardless of the 🍑 size, I'm excited to see the rest! 😂 💯💯💯
@@youngdochoi3434 Haha lol I'm 4:37 right now
@@RussellMidfield That's a 🍆 not 🍑!! Lmao. 😂 On a more serious note though, you're really good at sculpting, why not jump to Zbrush? I heard the Dynamesh is amazingly out of this world, as well as the zremesher. I'm a noob who can only do simple low poly stylised characters so I have no idea with their respective pros and cons just yet. 🤔 Except for the obvious downside of Zbrush which is its hefty price tag, of course. 😂
Haha lol its like a Farmers Market up in here! Oh yeah, ZBrush looks incredible, maybe one day! The biggest reason is as you mention, the price tag haha I'm a noob too, I couldn't tap into all that ZBrush has to offer to make dropping the cash worthwhile, I'm barely scratching the surface with Blender!
Blender has so many great features outside of sculpting that makes it such an amazingly comprehensive, all-in-one program that I feel hard-pressed to find a reason to switch to anything else at the moment. I love how it seems to be getting better and better every few weeks as well, and all for free which is mind-blowing. Great community, lots of support and resources, modern UI, I can box model, sculpt, UV unwrap, texture paint, bake maps, setup lighting, composite, animate, and render with two great built-in engines all in one program! For my skill level, it's perfect!
Great tutorial but seriously I was laughing at the placement of that cylinder every time it showed up. Is that a cylinder or is she really happy to see me? LOL.
It's late and yes I am that immature.
Hahaha lol BOING 😅 she's really into Blender
@@RussellMidfield LOL Nice getting sprung for Blender. Nothing sexier than naked verts. Seriously though I've been watching all your stylized vids. This channel is mad underrated. Full workflows and great explainations. A+ material.
@@ShawnPowerz Hahaha lol after an hour of the pinch brush on her rounded cubes I had to change my underwear. Thanks man, appreciate it, I know I'm not going to be Blizzard's next lead character artist, but I'm having fun making these videos and glad that they help even if it's just a little bit.
@@RussellMidfield Up to this point I only edge or loop modelled. Sculpting was never a great outing when I tried.
Big empty ball.
I always sculpted the same thing some big nosed ugly dude lol. A weird thing as I mostly model cartoony female models. This series plus the male one have inspired me to try my hand at sculpting again lol.
Haha I hear ya on the big nosed ugly dude showing up in every sculpting session haha lol 🤣 I struggled with that too, and still do, its hard to break out and create truly unique facial features that at the same time are appealing. I'm glad to hear man, its one of the few quiet reasons I like making these videos, I'm not a very good artist as anyone can plainly see haha, but i think they show hey, you don't need to be some natural born talent with 10 years of art training to make something half decent and have fun creating in the program. Keep going, you'll surprise yourself I'm sure.
Have you worked for valve or something? The large hands, eye construction and general posture reminds me a lot of the TF2 Scout model :D
Haha I wish! TF2 is such am awesome game haha, I loved playing it back in the day, definitely a huge factor in my modeling style!
Good tutorial! Can you use these types of models for video game characters? My faces were at 44k and tris almost at 90k
Thanks! Yeah you'll have to retopologize a character like this, once you're done sculpting, to get the polycount down. At this stage, the tris are too high to do anything meaningful in terms of texturing, rigging, and animation.
@@RussellMidfield Oh darn. I don't know anything about retopo stuff X_X
Haha yeah retopology is a whole beast in itself. Danny Mac 3d has some great videos on retopologizing the face and body that really helped me!
Hi! Great video, I have one question though. why do you make an eye with a sphere and then you cover it with a round circle? I don't understand why you didn't do the round circle only, thanks!
Thanks! I like to use the UV sphere for the eye because of the way the vertices are structured. It allows me to create a circular well for the iris, as well as delete the centre vertex for the pupil. I find it difficult to achieve the same result with a rounded cube. I cover it with a rounded circle for the cornea, or the shiny part of the eye. Its not anatomically correct but gives a decent looking result relatively quickly.
@@RussellMidfield so the rounded circle will have a transparent colour/texture in the next videos? In that way the iris will be visible, right?
@@CrokedWillo Yup that's right!
You can just press S5 too. Or sx5 or sy5 or sz5
ooOooh! damn, that is much better haha, thanks man!
To animate, would I need to Join all the parts together or remesh and meld?
Yeah, to get it moving you'll need to voxel remesh/join everything together, then retoplogize it.
Voxel remesh i need more explain, how can i use that it thanks a lot.
To use the voxel remesh you need to be in sculpt mode. Just go up to the remesh menu in the top right corner and change the voxel size to your liking. The lower the size, the more detail you will get when sculpting. Then press the remesh button!
Well, this comment might not be answered, but when I try to trace out the foot with the single vertex I do not get a vertex like you do from the finger? What am I missing or not seeing properly?
Oh, are you looking to get a single vertex? If so you can just add a plane, tab into edit mode, select all vertices, then press M for the merge menu, and then select center. This will collapse all of the vertices down into one single vertex.
@@RussellMidfield No, I just realized a few minutes ago that I am just being blonde as I forgot to press G to grab the darn vertex from the center. Apologies and thank you for getting back to me.
I am loving this tutorial and loving your way of teaching!
Oh haha lol, I feel ya! Another confusing thing that I used to run into a lot around the single vertex is being either in Edge select or Face select mode while in Edit mode. If you're not in Vertex select mode while in Edit mode and you are trying to do anything with a single vertex it won't work. Something to keep in mind!
4:37 sure 😏😂
Haha lol she packing some of that deli meat!
Please do male aswel
You bet!
There we go. now i can make my own girlfriend.
I dont have a girlfriend.😑😟😢😔😭
Haha 😅
how to in 2023
bc alot has changed
Yeah true I need to make a new one of these!
@@RussellMidfield thank you
Yeah no worries!
