  • In this video I go over my journey through blender since I switched over to it from my old 2D animated self. With a help of a whole lot of tutorials and sheer will, I managed to wrap my head around how this neat 3D software works. I had a lot of fun working on this. I'd say it's my best work so far and I hope you all enjoyed my recap.

    Hey blank! I hope you're reading this. You don't need to do weight painting for bending arms. Just go to the edit mode and add vertices/edges on the mesh from where you want it to bend. The more vertices/edges, the smoother the bend is gonna be. Takes not more than 2 minutes.

    One Thing I will suggest you to do that dont do Everything in Blender there are ton of other softwares that can do Specific Tasks Like Substance Painter for Texturing Zbrush for sculpting marvelous Designer for Clothing etc Yeah you can do modelling UV and Animation in Blender but doing it in a Specific Software will Improve your Journey a lot I did the Same mistake and unfortunately I wasted so much time on doing things which Blender cant do Properly Hope it will Help 🙂.

    I feel your pain with weight painting but I learned recently when messing around in blender that you can weight paint by assigning vertex groups to points in edit mode it will be fully weighted but you can just use the blur tool in weight paint mode to smooth it out a bit hope that helps if you ever need to make a model and weight it again.
