models usually tend to take about as long as art to finish lol, learning how to make them is a different story though, yesterday i tried to model like this dude and honestly it had to be one of the best things i’ve ever learned, the model is only about 3k tris and looks rlly good, it’s definitely worth trying to figure out :)

Fun thing: someone once said, that the only difference between rich and poor people is in their way of thinking. Poor people say "i will never be able to afford it" and the rich people say "what should i do to afford it"

Exactly my thought except ive actually tried to learn before so whenever I think about giving it another go I get flashbacks to my terrible first three attempts

I've tried to complete that donut tutorial like 3 times now, and I always get frustrated at the halfway mark or something lol.

tbh, it seems very trial and error based. if you spend a bit of time just using the 3D software, you could potentially get used to the interface and slowly and surely, be really good at it :))

Blender actually has hotkeys to enter orthographic views, theyre very helpful

Like, I understand what you mean, but what the fuck do you mean lmao

@@aiksi5605 he means Gus Guntherson is not the sort of name I’d expect to see attached to this sort of thing, and with a shadow the hedgehog profile too! Quite unexpected and impressive

@@rat38 I will not stand this slander

They’re trying to say they would expect to see a name like “model maniac” or a name that has to do with models

@@xylophone5936 he would probably expect something like "MilqqyUwU" something stereotypically "furry". /gen

I totally would comment this exact thing but it would seem as if i copied your comment. So im just going to say i agree with 100% of this (81 likes?!!! How??!)

fur? like the texture? if its that then you dont need that, if u are making a cartoony character i recommend using smooth textures and colours as for the black trace in the edges theres a modifier for that

@@Pepo.. i didnt know that :0

Anyone know what they used for this?

@@UnsettledSoldier blender

It‘s really fuckin hard, coming from a guy doing 3D for 3 years. Though, I haven’t done a lot of character creation let alone rigging (AAAAA), but I got mad respect for this guy

@@vex6633 yeah i dont think id be able to fo it. im an artist and started drawing when i was a baby and just didnt stop, so i’ll just stick to that.

I've seen vex commented saying that it's hard, and I beg to completely difer. It's easy af, selftaught by tutorials in a month. I'm not an expert and there's still a lot of importan things I don't know how to do, such as textures, but modelling is really intuitive and I've made some pretty realistic untextured human heads and characters. Just try it honestly, it's way more intuitive than you think, and it's free!

@@milinXD gonna wanna see some wireframe proof on that one. Creation of characters is literally one of the hardest if not the hardest thing you can do in 3D. Very doubtful that you learned how to create characters with good topology in just a month. It's something that takes most STUDENTS years to be able to do.

You can. 😌

Oo! How is the modeling going now? I'm starting to get into it right now too!

@@sugoish9461 pretty well! i haven't been getting to do it much due to being busy with other projects, but i'm certainly getting Somewhere with it. eyes are still a bit difficult for me for. Some Reason i don't understand at all but. oh well. it'll get better over time. how has yours been going, if you don't mind me asking? it took me a bit to reply so maybe you've gotten further than me since then sdjlgfdg

@@absintheancandle Oh! Haha same, honestly! I've been working on a small 2d game with a friend that has a deadline for halloween, so the 3d modeling learning has had to fall back for now until that project is over!

​@@sugoish9461 oh god that's a short amount of time but also sounds fun to have it be that short, to me at least. will it be anywhere online when it's finished?? if it isn't a problem i'm interested in seeing, looking at other creator's work is always fun !!! it's okay if not though fdjlghdjkl. either way, good luck to you two!!! making games is very fun in my experience

@AbsintheanCandle You've made games before?? That's so cool! What sort of games? I'm also curious to see!! But yes, thank you!! We together with some other friends run an art discord server (has about 300+ members or so right now, it's a really kind and safe environment! We sort of built it up from the ground very recently as a replacement for our old art server that was all of us' safe place, after the immature server owner deleted it on a whim - it was a pretty dramatic situation), and so we sort of plan on having a "collect candies to get a lil spooky character" reward, but then we thought "But!! What if it wasn't just a few words of text in your server-currency-wallet to have as a collectible, but something that you could actually customize, to really make it _yours_ and make you feel more attached to it?" So! We're making a little character creator/dress-up-like game as the reward, where you can design your own cute little ghost creature from over a 100 separate parts to combine etc! It's all very much a hobby project from us, but hopefully it will be a fun little surprise for the server members when they find out about it! We have an intro scene introducing the new second server mascot and everything through this game. We really like spoiling the server members for milestones, it's a ton of fun! And honestly, through this we've realized that making small games like this is super rewarding and exciting! So we're already thinking up ideas for more games after this. :D I would tell you the server name, but this is confidential info right now until the event launch! Only the staff know about this until the event launches haha, but ofc if you want to join the server you'd be more than welcome to! (I.... Might just have to wait until the event starts to let you in lol, sorry for that! But also - ofc, no pressure that you need to join if you don't feel like it! No worries either way :D) Either way, if you don't want to join I could probably upload the game online somewhere if you want to see it then! Good luck with your modelling and you art projects too!! ((also oops just realized how much I wrote!! pshshs sorry, hope it's okay to read!))

Something people should do more than following a rigid tutorial. Watch loosey goosey videos of people making things and observe. Learning the workflow and learning that things are dynamic. Learn that the first minute or two of setting things up would remain relatively the same, but everything else would be different from most models. Most tutorial videos have the mistakes cut out so they can show the "expected result" rather than the path and the mistakes made

dont worry learning 3D modeling is like learning how to ride a bicycle you will slowly get better and better and i belive that some day you will make awesome 3D models

hey, don't stress too much about it! i know you've probably heard this a billion times before, but practice makes perfect lol. just keep workin at it, and you'll start to get the hang of it! about a year ago, I didn't know a single thing about Blender, let alone how to make anything with it, and now I absolutely love using it! Trust me- there's a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it starts to come a bit more naturally. If you're looking for a tutorial to show you the basics, Blender Guru's donut tutorial is a great place to start: kzfaq.info/sun/PLjEaoINr3zgFX8ZsChQVQsuDSjEqdWMAD

the doughnut tutorial is really long and complicated and doesn't really cover character creation I heard this one is better tho kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qKtyqqWjt-DdmKs.html

I don't know how long you were trying to make 3D models, but personally it took me like 1 year to be "good" in modelling, at least with car modeling

@@potato4359 I never learned how to ride a bike...
