What the hell did I just watch, why is this the first video that actually explained a easy process for this. You sir are a genius. I stupid for not thinking of following the guide lines of topology. Look forward to the next video
@@BlenderArt Do you think you could make some reference images for a male character too? I'd really appreciate it. Thank you very much for this tutorial it has been tremendously helpful to me. Thank you for your time. 🙂
@@BlenderArt Great work. And now with a real Blender: 2.79. With 2,8 above nobody really want to work, **A LOT** to slow, and a **MASSIVLY BORING 3dsmax** Clone of "research of the Slowlyness" UI. (and a very very ugly one). So do not call this thing "Blender" call it "Wannabe 3dsmaxmaya" To work with this Thing is just painful. Same like Self Inquisition.
I love that you go through a lot of information quickly. Not that I can pick it all up that quickly... but you understand I have the power to pause and playback the areas I'm having trouble with and pick out the pieces of information I need with a few play throughs of that stretch. Great tutorial.
Thank you for not taking 50 hours to explain the basic functions - I feel like a lot of people learn while doing anyways and watching dragged out tutorials can really make people lose interest. I look forward to continuing this series and referencing it tons.
If you're stuck on 14:10 you're origin of the plane you added earlier mirrors that. To solve this you need to select cursor and place it on the first plane of the face tile. click Object, Set Origin, and Origin to 3d Cursor and the dot should move there along with the other side of the face merging together just like in the video at 14:13. Hope this helps someone, You're doing great for making this far in the video as well! let's complete this course!!!
I moved my 3D cursor to the first plane of the face tile and then I "Right clicked" on the plane then "Set Origin" then "Set Origin To 3D Cursor" but after I reset the transform it still splits and moves to the left. I'm using Blender 3.6
I'm not an absolute beginner, and I'm not a pro, but I'm amazed at the amount of information you smartly stuffed into this short video. Everybody, you're on youtube, you can replay and pause as much as you'd like and every word in this video matters!
As someone who did a bit of modeling for 3D prints before, I thought "there´s no way to combine a how to move and a proper character modeling lesson in one video" but oh boy, was I wrong. This is actually super solid for a beginner video and it helped me a ton! Thank you. I really appreciate how there is absolutely no fluff in this video. Though already knowing how to move and scale things probably helps a ton.
For those who were struggling to get the Shade Smooth option upon right clicking like I did ( 13:57 ) You need to go up to the top left corner of your window where it says "Edit Mode" and switch to "Object Mode". Then the option should appear for you :)
Probably the most underrated channel where you can learn blender for free.....It's insane that you are doing this for free Sir....I mean on udemy the people teach this course for worth $100, but you are a legend Sir....Respect and love from Pakistan :)
For anyone not getting the vertices lined up in front view and side view properly, do not touch the scale of the head topology reference photo. Just move it, and adjust it according to the side view's head. Great tutorial.
@@mudwaskhatri4131 I've gone through that multiple times and nothing has changed, i just decided to give it a go and just eye view it, so far I've made it work and its been looking good.
I was having this issue too, thank you for posting this! Also if anyone else needs more elaboration what I needed to do was first sculpt the first blue section with the plane, then I adjusted it to fit the the side view (which of course made the front view not align) then I moved the front head view up/down a little left/right till my adjustments still fit the side view perfectly and the front view pretty well. Then everything seemed to be lined up properly. I also moved the body reference to fit the new head reference image position for the front view.
The Intro and Navigation are so helpful! So many tutorials jump into explaining the "just do this" approach rather than the actual "What you need to do" in order to "just do this", all in one video and efficiently. Thank you.
I've subscribed to your channel a while ago because I love your way of explaining the ins and outs of Blender. But honestly your accent and tone of voice is what really makes the difference 🙂 Love it! Almost a next generation Bob Ross. Please keep doing what you're doing!
Modelling didn't take me anywhere except for learning about topology.. the easy fast and satisfying method for me is to combine basic shapes with subdivision and solidify modifiers on.. then glue, booleans cleanup and etopo when necessary
My workflow is usually Blender or ZBrush for sculpt, alternativelly bashing together parts of the final design (this was the case when I was recreating WW2 Japanese fighter plane and needed it as one piece of geometry so there was a lot of transitions within the wireframe, especially near the wing area since the model had to be pretty high resolution - an absolute headache!) and then just retopo fresh geometry on top of it. It's maybe not the fastest solution but it gives good results.
This works great if you happen to have reference images of the exact topology you want to end up with... which is only possible if the character you are modelling has already been modelled...
Really good tutorial so far. A few things I noticed: It would have been easier to follow if you first added the Mirror modifier and _then_ added the Subdivision Surface modifier. Also, I almost missed the "on cage" option and was confused why your vertices moved after you applied the Subdivision Surface mod and mine didn't. So, it would have been good to point that "on cage" option out more clearly. Other than that, pretty awesome so far.
Great tutorial, bro. Your method is same as mine but I'd like to follow along how you do it just looking for useful techniques I might not be aware of. Looking forward to the next episode. Keep up the good work. Wish you all the best.
I would like to say this is a great tutorial. I watch all your "episodes" before doing this and did notice it started to feel rushed in later "episodes". I will point out for future viewers that this tutorial failed to mention how important it is to line the ref images for the head with the "Z" (Blue) Line. You have to center it like he did or else you will have problems when you add mirror modifiers later on. Hope this helps those in the future! This is a great tutorial by someone with a lot of skill and experience to share.
Really appreciate your tutorials. I've been trying to get into Blender so I can work on my own assets for a small game I'm making and a lot of tutorials make me feel 'woah i dont think i can ever get to that point for a hobby project' and are overwhelming. Really like how you approach things and have been binging your videos. Hopefully I'll have something cool to show of it soon!
This is amazing! I have been following your tutorials to learn and this is by far the best series you've posted! It was clear and easy to follow, I had many lightbulb moments for things I could not get exactly how I wanted or was stumped by when making my meshes. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I LOVE this tutorial, thank you so much! I did have a slight snag when I missed you turning on the "On Cage" option on the modifier at 13:51, but aside from that this is the best tutorial on character design I've found, thank you!
@sideways6651 In Modifier properties tab to the right of the screen in the blue box you can see the image of the camera and to the left is a monitor and next to that is a square with small squares at each corner the next one is an upside-down triangle with the squares at each corner this the On Cage option. It should be highlighted when it is on. I didn't see an answer to your question here so I apologize if you already found your answer.
(13:46) you need to click on cage button when applying sub division. You showed this but I missed it because you didn't mention. This is how to correct vertices after applying subdivision.
Ive been trying to learn blender for a year now and ive been getting lost. This is the first time i was able to follow a blender video and learn so fluidly. Thank you so much for making this series.
Future confused and frustrated people, if the mirroring / mirror is messing up for you and doesn't look like his, it's likely because your color reference photos are not PERFECTLY on the Axis! (Red, Blue, Green lines on the Grid). If you placed them willy nilly like I did, the All Transform command he tells you will be very off. I'm not sure if he said this earlier in the video clearly, but I noticed he does it. Once I did it, was fixed.
This is a great tutorial and I don't think it was too fast at all. There's a lot of tutorials out there that explain everything at a glacial pace. I don't feel like it's an issue as long as you don't skip steps when going over something.
This is a very good for beginner with some basic blender knowledge like me. I just want to get my hand dirty rather than hearing theory upon theory on topology. Most techniques and theories are grasped by practicing rather than listening to a lecture.
Is it common to be able to use reference images with topology to follow? It seems like most of the time available reference images would be sketches or pictures of characters or people. In this case, would you start by making a low poly model like you did for the body and continue to refine the detail to get to the point that the reference image of the head that you use? I have no experience, so I am confused about this part.
@@StudioHannah I was thinking about this. Once you've done a few models, you can just use these topology references as a base to work on on future models, like a blue print. This one saves a lot of the trial and error to reach the point to be able to do that yourself. I'm not sure how much steam this kind of work flow has left though, as things like Metahuman exist now.
@@dreambadger Well, MetaHumans does exactly what it says. Makes highly realistic humans, but that's the limits to it. If you want a custom 5" tall elf girl/boy with certain shapes or cartoonized this is your best bet still because not everyone is going for ultra-realistic humans. I've played around with MetaHumans before wanting to learn Blender. MetaHumans creator can't make mermaids, Cars, etc like this can so by learning this you're learning how to branch off into more complex designs not yet possible with Meta Humans. I do hope 1 day AI can do half the work this requires though, and give me a general concept of a person, and then let me edit from there. Or general concept of a car, and let me do it from there. Would extinguish the tedious X, Y, Z axis stuff, and go straight to molding/sculpting. However you might be able to download/upload blender files of half-made molds somewhere unsure so you can fine-tune to your liking. Which would skip every step of this video. but that's not how you learn!
I you have an issue with the mirror modifier part, you can right click on the plane and select "define origin" (orange dot) > toward "3D cursor", you will propably have to move the 3d cursor first.
Hello! Thank You! You opened me a door to world of making characters in blender, after your lessons I'm trying myself to make a lowpoly character from scratch, and I like it)
Very intuitive tut. I've seen some other too on UA-cam, although not all. Clear speaking. Very understandable, even for someone like me who doesn't live in a country where english is the everyday language. Thanks alot.
Bro No fucking way did i just ACTUALLY learn something in the span of 2 minutes from you then i did in 50 minutes from a friend Damn,imma definitely have to continue this later today
very thorough and helpful however i am not very accurate with click and drag so if you could name the xyz positions for reference images it will be easier to follow along
Thank you but you don't know what you have done putting this video out. It all makes sense now thanks to you. I know what I must do and I have the strength to do it
God bless you..all I wanted just to create my character and I !ve been looking for such a wonderous education for a long time.And it is a well known point...its not enough to know it well,,to be able to explain what you have is much much more important..and finally I've found here exact solution.Gratitudes...I bow before your kindness and professionalism.
What a wonderful tutorial! Its easy to comprehend and has a nice balance of detailed and generalized, I wish more tutorials were like this... Also, would you have any advice for adapting this for a male character?
A lot of people are praising this for being densely packed and getting right into it, yet I'm 13 minutes in and dozens of hot keys have been thrown at me, and yet all I've done is paste 2 reference images that are locked in place and I've deleted 3 things. This would have been a hell of a lot better if not so many hot keys were mentioned till another episode and you explained what the hell you were about to do and the small goals of each set of actions immediately before hand.
I was going to create my own character but after seeing this tutorial, I think ill just pay someone to create my character for me. My simple mind cant handle this info
This Tutorial is absoluetly perfect!!Just the part at 14:35 - idk what i did wrong but my dots in the middle dont connect like that at all. The faces still overlapp eachother
Awesome tutorial brother. Looking forward to more tutorials from you. Monsters, mech, hardsurface, hardwares etc. Your tutorial is really easy to follow and comprehend. Thank you.
My object origin/center was way away from the actual geometry of the object, I moved the 3d cursor to where I wanted it (in tools - T) and then right clicked on the object and selected Set Origin - Origin to 3D cursor. If your placement is off you can keep selecting origin to 3d cursor. Hope that helps!
i have same issue but slightly different , once i add mirror modifier the two planes keep intersecting each other no difference even after applying all transform
This tutorial is super awesome :D i can make objects but xD creating characters is difficult and i struggle to get the proportions right for everything (hands i dislike doing xD) thank you so much for this video :) Stay Awesome
I'm an absolute beginner and I've been able to follow this tutorial (ok it took me several hours). The guy speaks quite fast but don't forget that we can slow down the video ;-) Remember, the 2 faces must be centered on the z axis and you have to "Ctrl + A -> All Transforms" on your first surface once it is positioned (I got screwed).
I skimmed over the video, but haven't actually followed it. Just wanted to say, I never thought to just copy out a topology directly... I don't know why something like that never popped in my head. Looking forward to actually going through this and seeing what other insights you have in store. Sub'd and looknig forward to this o/
My daughter wants me to make her, her very own mermaid and I haven't done a character for years. So this is helpful, as a basics recap. 👍 Now if anyone knows of a good mermaid tutorial, let me know. 🤔
@Blender Art Sincerely, thank you for putting out this engaging content. You are literally helping me accomplish a dream I've had for years but never found the art medium that felt right. Again, just thank you.
What a stupid am I? This is so easy process to model a character but I used so hard process for my past characters. Thanks dude to introduce bombshell 💗
I was following the tutorial and everything was going smoothly until for whatever reason the z axis stopped matching in the top red area at 15:24 but yet it still matched in the bottom blue and red area. The references are at the same z height and i truly have no idea what's causing this mismatch. Any help is appreciated
What the hell did I just watch, why is this the first video that actually explained a easy process for this. You sir are a genius. I stupid for not thinking of following the guide lines of topology. Look forward to the next video

God bless you..all I wanted just to create my character and I !ve been looking for such a wonderous education for a long time.And it is a well known point...its not enough to know it well,,to be able to explain what you have is much much more important..and finally I've found here exact solution.Gratitudes...I bow before your kindness and professionalism.
you're welcome
Excellent

@@Sh_orts same here
FINALLY, A TUTORIAL I CAN UNDERSTAND. THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHH!!!
No problem 😊
What a wonderful tutorial! Its easy to comprehend and has a nice balance of detailed and generalized, I wish more tutorials were like this...
Also, would you have any advice for adapting this for a male character?
this same can be implement to male character also
A lot of people are praising this for being densely packed and getting right into it, yet I'm 13 minutes in and dozens of hot keys have been thrown at me, and yet all I've done is paste 2 reference images that are locked in place and I've deleted 3 things. This would have been a hell of a lot better if not so many hot keys were mentioned till another episode and you explained what the hell you were about to do and the small goals of each set of actions immediately before hand.
I was going to create my own character but after seeing this tutorial, I think ill just pay someone to create my character for me. My simple mind cant handle this info
This Tutorial is absoluetly perfect!!Just the part at 14:35 - idk what i did wrong but my dots in the middle dont connect like that at all. The faces still overlapp eachother
im having the same issue, how did you fix it?

Thanks
Awesome vid, clear explainations, been awhile since I’ve seen a video on this subject that was so understandable…
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you very much!! this is so easy to understand and helpful for beginner like me :D
Hey, at 14:20, whenever i press All transforms, the two planes go far apart from eachother instead of still next to eachother. How do i fix this?
Any answers for this yet? I am having the same problem.
My object origin/center was way away from the actual geometry of the object, I moved the 3d cursor to where I wanted it (in tools - T) and then right clicked on the object and selected Set Origin - Origin to 3D cursor. If your placement is off you can keep selecting origin to 3d cursor. Hope that helps!
i have same issue but slightly different , once i add mirror modifier the two planes keep intersecting each other no difference even after applying all transform
@@Sirbikingviking You have to reset only direction and rotation. Donot do it for location
@@Sirbikingviking it worked! thank you so much
This tutorial is super awesome :D i can make objects but xD creating characters is difficult and i struggle to get the proportions right for everything (hands i dislike doing xD) thank you so much for this video :) Stay Awesome

@@BlenderArt you are welcome sir
probly tks for this course ❣
I have to say that this is NOT an absolute beginner tutorial. If anyone else is having trouble, you're not alone.
thanks for sharing your opinion ..I'm gonna work on myself to be better in the future
Yeah, this is definitely not a beginner tutorial. If you are an absolute beginner you shouldn't start by making a character...lol.
I'm an absolute beginner and I've been able to follow this tutorial (ok it took me several hours).
The guy speaks quite fast but don't forget that we can slow down the video ;-)
Remember, the 2 faces must be centered on the z axis and you have to "Ctrl + A -> All Transforms" on your first surface once it is positioned (I got screwed).
i watch the whole video and i realize i need a drink 😂😂 thats alot to remember
😂
Damn, I think my brain's going to explode!
Bro keep up the gd work ur doing a lot of help for game devs to make their own Character models
Hi, please send the reference images of that tutorial to me at that Gmail account. Because the link dose not work with me.
even though its frustrating me.. its fell like amazing to do this challenging task.
I knew that you Will come with something like this and I was waiting
thanks for your positivity
I skimmed over the video, but haven't actually followed it. Just wanted to say, I never thought to just copy out a topology directly... I don't know why something like that never popped in my head. Looking forward to actually going through this and seeing what other insights you have in store. Sub'd and looknig forward to this o/
Thx for saving me XD and the others
My daughter wants me to make her, her very own mermaid and I haven't done a character for years. So this is helpful, as a basics recap. 👍
Now if anyone knows of a good mermaid tutorial, let me know. 🤔

What a stupid am I? This is so easy process to model a character but I used so hard process for my past characters. Thanks dude to introduce bombshell 💗
don't say that all of us looking for knowledge and new skills
I am happy that it helped
thanks a lot for this master piece , love u !
I was following the tutorial and everything was going smoothly until for whatever reason the z axis stopped matching in the top red area at 15:24 but yet it still matched in the bottom blue and red area. The references are at the same z height and i truly have no idea what's causing this mismatch. Any help is appreciated
Subscribed. Thank you for clear tutorial. Keep up the good work.👍
