  • 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.

    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!

      @@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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
