I've done that too. I had about 5-6 attempts a few years ago even switching to Blender, I just couldn't get used to the interface and I just sat there in frustration. Finally, with the help of Ludum Dare, it helped me to progress. And now with 2.8, I really love Blender.
@@Wildicon19 i only wish you the best of luck with what you pursue, coming back to this comment 2 years later after seeing your reply brings a smile to my face because i can truly realize how far ive come as a modeler since then
I've never done any UV painting or anything at all like that and from your 40 seconds of setting stuff up I learned how to color stuff and certain spots of the mesh! I didn't even meant to learn that skill coming into this video! This is why I subscribed awhile back, great content.
As a newbie to this, I'm loving these videos. Sometimes I learn more from instruction, sometimes just from watching someone do what they do. As Churchill once said; "I always enjoy learning, but rarely enjoy being taught."
Can you please tell me how to do it. I'm an absolute beginner and I've been scratching my head for and an hour still I can't figure out how he did it.🥺
I think possibly the most valuable aspect of this is the idea of using limited toolsets and processes (simple extrusions, insets, translations and scaling along with the mirror modifier) to quickly establish base shapes. It's not dissimilar to using primitives as the basis of a more complex object (like a human character) - a sphere for the head, cylinders for arms & legs etc. Although you say you're not an artist this approach is really what most artists would employ to establish their work. You start with some kind of idea of what a spaceship 'needs' to have to be recognised as such - cockpit, fusilage, engines, wings - and then freestyle using those processes along with your own mental library of ships you've seen in films and games etc. I think it's worth stressing that the whole speed thing is easily misunderstood. You don't necessarily employ speed to finish more quickly, but in many cases because detailing can often take much longer and you don't want to build upon base shapes that aren't really working that well. You may well be making a model that only needs to be low poly in its final form, so its a win-win to get it finished in ten minutes. For anything more detailed like a AAA game or movie the real value is being able to bash out lots of ideas really quickly. Nice shapes in your ship btw.
Oh man, this was frighteningly encouraging. I've only finished a few tutorials and found that I tend to forget 60-99% soon after. So, I've been redoing tutorials and slowly things fall into place. I doubt I'll get through all 100 of your tutorials, but maybe I can in a few years. Cheers to the climb.
I absolutely respect how comfortable you seem with Blender. You can roll through ideas really easily without getting stuck on how to make faces in the places you want and that's cool.
as a fellow Blender guy, I will say that your 10 min vids on building stuff in that length of time shows how much can be done with that stuff if you know your stuff, so I must give ya credit where it is due. I use Blender for all my project and i have a knack of wasting time
Thank you very much - give it a try, constraints are useful to get into a flow :) I have so much more to learn though, I only do low poly stuff so far, to be used in games, but I would like to do some higher poly stuff and renders too.

For a 10 minute spaceship modelling... it looks awesome! Nice details in such short time.
That trick to use UVs to assign different colors from a bitmap palette is brilliant! Maybe it's a standard thing but it never occurred to me before. Thanks for that!
I started blender today. Made a tank which i'm really proud of but would love a brief written description of your working method here (mainly just which hotkeys are doing what because is hard to keep up). Great video!
E - Extrude, to make a loopcut at the end and making ur own poly according to the shape of the face u extrude. I - Inset, to make another face but it goes in the same y-level(can be extruded down or up). CTRL R - Loop Cut, makes a cut around the place u want. Left click first, then set it at the place u like. If u like it in the original spot, press right click or ESC. These are the basics you need to know. I started out like that.
well done I think its a good insight to making in 10mins where you're just challenging yourself to do something just for fun, it explores the mind of creative thinking within a constraint or specific parameters, would love to see more of these as they are entertaining but no judgment on your work please, just accept it as it is without having the expectation of the result, I think it's just possible to do regardless. thank you for showing us!
What's most impressive to me is your ability to envision parts of the ship before you model them. Did you do a trial run before this or use any reference images? Also I love the black on the canopy glass. Looks like tinted glass and works perfectly for this.
Thank you for your video and your presentation style of both saying the keys you are typing and also why from a design perspective you are adding features. Spaceships don't have to make sense, they have to look cool. I've gone from making sad box shaped Star Trek-like shuttles to a bad ass marauder style fighter in the space of two weeks just by retuning my perspective for Blender based on your videos. Really appreciate your work.
Amazing! I learnt more from this one video than all the others combined. The indication of what keys you are using as you go REALLY helps, so keep doing that. Just got yourself a subscription.
this has taught me how to use blender quickly and more efficiently than any other tutorial i've ever come across. not sure what that says about me but it's greatly appreciated all the same.
This was really entertaining to watch, thanks :) You might already know but you can select a loop of faces (or edges) by pressing alt + rightclick near the edge which would have helped for painting your stripes quicker.
I just want to say your videos have helped so much with learning blender. I have tried watching blender tutorials and they helped some but were always a bit weird due to how large of a jump they do. its either they spend 10 minutes explaining you press e to extrude or they model an entire car with fully 3d rendered internal components in a quick little time-lapse to get us started. your 10 minute ones allow me to actually see what you are doing in real time with a lot of nifty tricks I didn't learn as a beginner that can help speed up things I would be tossing and turning over on for an hour. Great work!
Hey, thanks for the comment - glad you find it useful in that way, I've had quite a few people mention that so it seems to be a good format to give a full insight to the modeling process :)
thank you imphenzia for being a youtuber i am learniing blender from you any are really a expert though i have not used blender animations on my channel i will use it later when i will learn it properly. for now thank you
hi , buddy , i just come here to thank you , that i am the guy from China , i started to watch your youtube video 3 years ago , you inspired me to learn Blener and Unity , before that i was just salesman , after 3 years from that , Now i am teaching blender and unity in college as part time , and i am developing my own game , thank you so much , you are making others life better and really changing world by your own way , since i have students now , they will respect you as grand master!! be proud ,master!!
I'm learning how to model from you. The Christmas tree tutorial was my first, it was REALLY difficult. I wish I would have watched your 20 tips for Blender video first. LOL! I finished your ep.1 tutorial, now I have a better understanding of how you do things. Thank you.
That's awesome dude. Also I'm watching your beginner video so I understand most of what you're doing, even though you can do it a thousand times faster than I could think about it. :D
When you just start getting into 3D modelling, watch this video and think "I could smash that, it looks so easy".... fast forward two days and the only thing you've smashed is your keyboard and your ego. "Ctrl and minus and select...NOOOO!! Ctrl Z!! CTRL Z!!!" I'll get there @Imphenzia great video, I'll keep working on it :)
I think you're being way too hard on yourself. I think I could do about this good in the same time, maybe I wouldn't even finish it in time because I tend to overthink every vertex and every loop cut. Your improvisational skill is impressive and the ship looks good. Perhaps a few too many green sections, but that's coming from someone who tends to make quite plain models. Good job!
Thanks. All things considered, I'm happy with the result within the time frame, but I may repeat the process a few times to see if I can come up with something different. I would also consider adding a subdivision modifier if I can blend smooth and sharp edges fast somehow.
yes, I agree! it's not about expectation it's about being free of expectation, just to do and show thought process in parameters and what can be done in Blender or any software with ease and very few movements and repetition, I totally think these things should be done more by all of us especially professionals and over thinkers. that is the art, accept the mistakes as part of it and not to criticize yourself for not achieving a perfect thing!
saaaame I was doing a Forrest for a little video and I spent way to long on the the basic tree because I kept thinking let's put a branch here and maybe move it a bit here
Riktigt najs serie! Sjukt kul att se någon skillad göra något såhär improviserat. Dessutom, att göra många saker på kort tid är oftast mycket mer lärorikt än att sitta dagar med ett projekt, så det här är något jag ska försöka ta efter :) Keep it up!
And here iam watching my cube for 10mins straight
hahaha, ditto.
Masters annoy the hell out of me.
I've done that too. I had about 5-6 attempts a few years ago even switching to Blender, I just couldn't get used to the interface and I just sat there in frustration. Finally, with the help of Ludum Dare, it helped me to progress. And now with 2.8, I really love Blender.
Phew, then I shouldn't annoy you because I am faaaar from a being a master seeing what some people get out of Blender =)
@@Imphenzia , I agree, I started Blender in 2.75 and HATED it. I made some stuff, but it was bad, and now with 2.82 I love it. Thanks for the vids!
Hey, it worked for the borg. Just sayin.
why are your 10 minute ships better than my 10 hour ships
Just keep repeating, my first ships from a few years ago were terrible and I still feel I have a long way to go =)
@@Imphenzia thank you for the inspiration, i will keep at it ^^
@@LeviathanKoda if u see my 4 hour low poly airplane u wil die XD
This gives me inspiration, thank you for being real about your skills. Keep up the amazing work. I may have finally found my niche.

Nice. 10 mins very well done. a fun watch.
that was mesmerizing to watch!
Man your videos are always awesome :) can't believe this was the first one !
Dude, you made modeling process seem quite simple, so I finally decided to get back to it and give it another shot!
Fantastic!
This is incredibly useful man. Gonna be studying this a lot and putting myself through a similar challenge set
Great video! Thanks for calling out the hotkeys along the way!

Quick question did you do it using free online content ?
This actually taught me how to model in blender better than most other tutorials.

Awesome man! Inspired me to learn this!
just awesome .... love you brother ...
Goooooood !!!!!!!!! Insane !!!!
You are a wizard Harry, and a thumpen good one at that! You must have years of experience doing this. Beautiful work!
Well done!
Fantastic job
Awesome!

GREAT!
Great Work for 10 minutes!
It's amazing 😱😱😱
I love it this is the kind of ship I like
Very inspiring for a complete noob, great vid!
Quite impressive. I started learning sculpting and have been scared to attempt hard surface stuff. I think I'm gonna give it a go.
i have been amazed
Cool result 👍
10 minutos o que eu precisaria de 2 dias olhando tutoriais e imagens e tudo que se possa imaginar e tudo isso foi feito em 10 minutos , ficou top
Wonderful
Your vídeos até amazing thank very much you help more than many!
Cool, bro !
Spectacular man, I really learned very much! Greetings from Bogotá, Colombia!
made it look so easy
I'm impressed
Your my biggest inspiration
Un gran tutorial para ser en solo 10 minutos, gracias por motivarme nuevamente con blender
sabes cómo puedo mover el pivote dentro del mapping?
This is very inspiring
Amazing
Love it
