Hi! I first knew Blender when I was 58, and I studied hard on KZfaq for two years. On KZfaq, you are one of my teachers. I finally started my own KZfaq in 2021 this year when I was 60 years old. My content is music videos I made with my own music and video. It's really difficult, but my retirement life has become fun. I would like to express my gratitude to you for helping me learn Blender. Thank sooo much!

Missing important step, self note: When you have done making everything with your metaball shape you need to convert it to mesh and you're doing it by Right Mouse Button clicking on empty space opening Object Context Menu and then clicking Convert to>Mesh

@CGI Overloaded Technically, it's not inaccurate. The title says: how _I_ create 3D animated characters in Blender in 10 minutes, which indicates that he is explaining how he personally creates characters in such time while not strictly having to keep to that specified time in the actual video. The title does *not* say: how _to_ create a 3D character in 10 minutes, which, if that had been the case, would have indeed been inaccurate.

I disagree. It depends on how much detail you want to put into the thing you are making. I was able to get something decent in about 30 minutes of total blender work. I got some bug where my meshes would disappear, but i don't count that as actual development work. You don't need to focus on 1 area for 15 hours. Do 1 layer of detail on the entire body, then do another one and another one and gradually add the detail. Honestly, in 5 hours you should have a pretty good model - i am excluding the animation and cloth physics and that type of shit cuz i don't even know in what menu to find those.
