- They say it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert at something. But who has time for that, I'm going to do it in 30 days. Well not really but hopefully I can improve. I wanted to try this challenge after watching Pewdiepie become a professional artist in only 30 days, and we all know my art skills could use some improving. Learning Blender will help my game dev career immensely so I'll have to to learn it sometime, so why not now.

The giraffe looks awesome. I dont know why you're so hard on yourself🎉
Thanks, looking back it does look better than I remember. When I was making it though I was getting pretty frustrated
the giraffe looks like trash. I know why you're so hard on yourself 😩
yeah, my favorite model was the giraffe. i'd loved to see how you'd texture the spots.
thats what i was thinking too.
@@overphildev A lot of interest in art, and content in general, is the uniqueness that individuals add to them, how they perceive and then communicate that back out to everyone else. The model you made is a different, but still an entirely recognizable take on a giraffe. You could totally see that outline in a newspaper comic or as a silhouette on a children's toy.
Seriously how did you youtube guys improve your blender skill so fast. Another youtuber made a freaking giant transformer in 30 days of blender. I think I'm dumb idk, great video! Welcome back
Wait someone made a transformer that's awesome
Maybe they are very dedicated and not afraid of loosing
@@AbdulhameedLawal Awesome answer
I'm a little late on this comment... but let's not forget everybody learns at a different pace, no reason to beat yourself up over it! Just keep working on it and you'll eventually get the hang of it!
@@overphildev 😏
Hi! 3D-Artist student here! I think the main reason why your models look ''flat'' compared to the original references, is because there wasn't any lighting in your scenes. For your next Blender adventure, it could maybe be a good idea to tackle lighting and rendering, to really finish off your pieces. Aside from that, great work! I can see how this could be an inspiration to future Blender artists!
as an advanced blenderer, im telling u, the giraffe was ur best peace!
Your channel is super under-rated. Ive personally been watching pretty much since the beginning and you absolutely deserve more attention. I always get excited when I see a devlog for this game
Thank you that means a lot
So glad to see you back! This was such a cool little challenge for yourself and it inspires me to hop back on blender LOL Keep up the great work!
This was so good! I think adding slightly kooky and over the top animations would be a fun way to add more personality to the game. It would fit with how funny it is that the computer screen turns into a machine gun too!
That would be fun
Would love to see a video of you modeling something from scratch to get an idea on how its done
This game gonna be hella awesome, cant wait to play it
This video got yourself a new subscriber. Really loved it!
First video I’m seeing from you, high quality video!
Very professionally done! As someone who's also currently learning Blender, I'm familiar with the struggle lol. You're doing great!
HOLY- i swear it looks so good!!
im suprised how much 30 days can get you!
Everything is awesome, your skill progress was massive.I suggest maybe making fence doors have one more bar or maybe metal tops so they can be more distinguishable from distance
Thank you that's a good idea
I really like your sense of humor
This is a HUGE improvement to the look of the game, keep up the good work!
Thank you
Nice! This inspires me to try to do this!
also just subbed
Id recommend it, I was very surprised with my progress
Also thanks I appreciate it
Yip I'm inspired to start blender now. Thank you dude!
Good luck! I had a lot of fun learning it
Awesome video! I am considering something similar. I've done part of the donut tutorial, but I think going through something like the low poly playlist like you mentioned may be more helpful.
If you have any good tips/resources on the texturing and having parts move, please let me know.
I want to move my game to 3d, the models will be fairly simple, but I'll definitely need a few tricks to create different types.
How did you setup the fence variants and bring that into your engine? Very cool idea.
The scarecrow and axe models look like something youd buy in an asset store. Amazing progress🎉
Happy to have you back
Happy to be back, I've missed it
Your models look really nice! I'm curious to see what they would look like in game :)
Thank you, I'm pretty excited to get them all in
I was at this point as a game dev too. once you learn blender, you life becomes so nice
Finally! Someone appreciates Grant. He is underrated as heck
Get this guy to 100k!
I wouldn't mind that lol
Let's go! Makes me happy to see you're back at it. Please don't be so hard to yourself when it comes to "steal" ideas, art works like that, if you don't know how something is shaped, copy, copy and copy again until your brain is ready to create new shapes out of that copied image.
Carry on!
p.s: the new model look great!
Thanks for sharing your journey. I'm curious if you used a lot of modifiers to do your modeling or if you just directly edited the primitives? I'm learning Blender myself and keep trying to remember how/when to use the more advanced modifiers so I can develop a more nondestructive, professional workflow, but it slows me down. I know I can model faster if I focus on just making vs. doing it the way a lot of books and courses tech it. Curious your thoughts on that.
shovel knight looking absolutely cheeked up!
Blender in 30days is crazy. You are incredibly fast learner. My first two months wig blender were super hard 😅 nowhere near yours models
You should make like 10000000 shorts of this video where in each one you render each of your models an a scene and just make a mini shorts series
Yay overphill
Here is something extra you need to learn as a game dev. Bake normals. It's not something complicated, but some of your low-poly assets can be even lower. You don't need (or want) each brick on that wheel in game, all you need is a cylinder with the lighting from your original wheel baked in. The same goes for the rooftop.
A giraffe was one of my first projects. Not the one from Grant Abbitt because I started before his channel existed. My first project was an alien, which is something very complex for beginners, but I always start learning something with a difficult project. At first glance it looked fine, but with the topology I set a new low with how horrendous it was in reality. Then I started following tutorials (I'm still doing sometimes) and improved my modeling. My giraffe ended up fine because I was used already with how Blender works.
You can always improve. And follow tutorials, you learn more stuff. Don't copy everything from them, try something else based on what you see there.
Funny thing, you struggled with round objects, I struggled with sharp ones due to the ways we both learned.
Me: in my first project I made a sword with lights!
OverPhil: mE mAdE rOcCkK
Didn’t know you work every day but let’s go a new video
The laugh I just let out when you turned the shovel knight and all I saw was cheeks 😭😭😭
Loved the video! Gave me some major inspiration for learning Blender, I’m trying to learn both Blender and GameDev…
P.S.
Didn’t know Shovel Knight was walking around with a whole bakery attached to his back!
13:37 I really like the checkerboard you should keep it
What plateform you use for the dev developement ?
You could bevel the sides of Hollow knight character to make it more round looking, Ctrl B in edit mode.
For the Shovel Knight, I'd probably use a sphere for the head, then delete half of the sphere, and extrude the bottom part, sorry , just a lot of the time, I tend to look at the shapes of objects, and think which mesh works best for it.
Great video.
I didn't even think of using a sphere and just deleting half of it, that would've turned out way better
8:15 was crazy bro 💀
Excited to see the new main character soon
Hopefully it turns out well
This looks VERY good.
bro whats with that obsession with rocks🤣🤣that part was hilarious🤣🤣
i too really was inspired by PewDiePie's vid, it really makes me think that we can do anything if we put our minds to it
oh also welcome back haha
Thanks, and yeah I was very surprised with how much I learned
Great progress! Very inspiring, keep up the good work brother!
Thank you so much
3D is my biggest fear, I don't even know how to move the camera in Blender.
I believe the models will look 100x better with lighting and post processing and maybe some shaders
we gon talk abt how that giraffe was sick
anyway, i'm noticing there are a lot of small details on these models that would be better accomplished via texture than geometry, such as the grains on the wood on the scarecrow [13:28] and the small gaps between planks on the chest [9:07]. but otherwise, this is great.
you should smooth shading so it doesn't show the edges every quad.
That shovel knight is a thicc knight
8:14 shovel night got that gyat
you need to let that giraffe go. that giraffe has poisoned your soul.
THE MAIN CHARACTER OF HOLLOW KNIGHT THAT U DREW ISNT CALLED HOLLOW KNIGHT THAT’S THE FINAL BOSS
Washing machine that shoots lost socks could be fun. Could walk on arms similar to your sketch.
Interesting, that does fit my idea of having every enemy be a robots that people in the real world would actually use that just got corrupted
you're probably gonna need more rocks than giraffes in this game anyway
You know that's a great point
Would have killed me if there were rocks in the chest 😂
Bros back its been so long
Yeah whoops lol time kind of got away from me there for a little
@@overphildev good u got back into it, models are looking great!
Holy shit he’s back
I'm not sure what your day job is, but I can't imagine you couldn't do youtube full time, top tier quality content. Just upload a little more regularly haha
Thank you, I would love to one day
I would suggest adding post processing to your game. Right now it is looking grey and bland, maybe some bloom can help? idk just a suggestion
I don't know if you already have post processing but either way more bloom can help :)
Yeah I just started messing with post processing. It should be in my next video. I'll have to play with the bloom some
*Before watching the video* "What!? You learned everything there is to know about Blender in 30 days!? You must be some kind of super genius!"
*After watching the video* "Oh. You meant to say that you learned Blender FOR 30 days."
How many rocks have u made? Haha, nice video ^^
Not enough lol
❤
12:46 is just karen.
I like that giraffe though.
He is alive! I was quite worried, looked at the discord to see if there was any news, and saw porn spam bots, so thought that this project was over and done
Yeah the discord is a bit of a mess right now, guess that happens when you go afk for months
This video rocks.
Best comment
@@overphildev thank you! You're an amazing earth blender (see what I did there?)
Some personal advice, don't stop watching tutorials. As in, you don't have to recreate/follow every tutorial you make, and can just watch it for the process. Programs like Blender have many many MANY tools, hidden or in plain sight, oftentimes when you see a seemingly complex model it can actually be really easy to model, only if you know the right tools.
Remember, you don't know what you don't know, so you have to find a way to know.
Oh definitely, I know there is still plenty I don't know
Do we all learn textureing with steve?
Man.. been a long time 😂...
8:16 bro gave him model mad cheeks 😂😂
A good giraffe ❌
A simple rock ✅
Well done....badabooosh
"So I made a rock" 😂
You should add some better lighting to your game, your game would look 1000000x better if you made the lighting good
thats tuff
Hey nice vid
Rocks
Hey can you make a vid where you show when you makeing a model you can for ex use something from this vid 😃
Rock :)
Rock
It has been 8 months and you give us a deformed giraffe
And a bunch of rocks
i thought that literally everybody learnt blender in under 30 days
Wow, you really improved quick! It's inspirational how fast you can learn a skill when you really set your mind to it. All these models are great, your game is going to look way better following this, I think. Also, Shovel Knight's 'back' got a genuine snort out of me.
Maybe you could make different outfits for the scarecrow? Either just for variety, or to denote different upgrade levels or something. Just a suggestion.
And... I gotta be That Guy and point out that the main character in the game Hollow Knight isn't called 'The Hollow Knight', that's actually a different character (it's a lot like calling Link 'Zelda'). The main character that you play as (that you made a model of) doesn't really have a name other than just The Knight (or sometimes the fandom uses the nickname Ghost). It's also not a 'he'... although there's no real consistent use/official source for its pronouns, so 'whatever' on that part.
Can't help myself, pedantry is my nature lol.
Thank you I appreciate it. I think the different outfits for upgrades is a good idea.
Lol I feel kinda bad I didn't realize hollow Knight isn't the main character, whoops
it has been 8 months and i have forgotten what this game is even about
so why not add the giraffe into the game as ur mortal enemy
I think I'll have to slide it in somehow, as a vessel of pure evil or course
Useful comment
Very useful indeed
you are biting off more than you can chew. It's awesome that you are learning stuff but what I mean is that your game's scope is too broad
A comment to boost your yt algorithm :)
Always appreciated
That bootie
why did you make skibidi toilet television mens
R O C K
Weren't you looking for a 3D artist for your game a while back? I guess you decided to take matters into your own hands.
Yeah that ended up not working out so figured I'd try myself
my favorite is the rock
Your problem with the colours is there is not enought texture and they are so light which make them look even flatter. This is form a dude that knows nothing lol.
you must loves rocks lol
Can never have too many
@@overphildev the more the better
🗿Rock
Shovel knights cheeks sent me 😂
How has it been 7 months wtf
Yeah it's crazy, sorry it took so long
@@overphildev no I didn't mean it like that, I could've sworn it's only been a few months, man time flies.
@JHG_1 yeah I get it I've been feeling that way too
I learnt Blender in 30 seconds.
