  • Learn how to easily model a low poly character in Blender 2.9x. This is the first in a series of three videos. In the second video, we create an armature and rig this character and in the third video, we key frame animate an idle and a running animation.

    Additional info:
    I've been modeling in Blender since about 2015 but more recently in the past couple of years. I've been making games and assets in Unity since 2011 and I'm currently working on a multiplayer RTS game that I'll be happy to announce later this year.
    I use a Canon Lumix GH5 camera to record my videos with the Olympus 17mm F1.2 lens as well as the Laowa F2.0 7.5mm compact dreamer lens. Sometimes I also use a GoPro Hero 8, a Insta360 One X and a Sony rx100 mark vii. For audio I use a Rode NTG shotgun microphone connected to a RME Fireface UFX II sound card.
    Thanks a lot for watching and sharing my videos :)

    Right out of the gate, his tutorial is so much more welcoming than a lot of "beginner" tutorials. Tells you A-Z without being too draggy. And he displays the navigation so you can find exactly what he's talking about.

    A small tips for Blender Startup setting is to create a collection called "Lights and Cameras", and then rather than delete those every time you can just hide them with one click, if you then need a camera it is already there with just one click, and it it a good place to drag and drop the rest of the lights and cameras you create later on.

    I liked the 10 minute challenges a lot. Started Blender and Unity with them. But a video like this is great, too. You explain all not too basic, so i don't have to skip parts of the video, like in lot of other tutorials. But also no to advanced :) Very good, thanks for your work. This month, i'll try to submit a cityblock for your monthly challenge.

    I really appreciate the fact you announce the commands clearly even though they are displayed visually. When I watch tutorials the displayed commands become almost invisible. Throughout this tutorial I feels these commands are starting to subconsciously sink in.

    Also if you do not have a keyboard with numpads you can go to Edit > Preferences > Input and checkmark the box that says emulate numpad. Now your normal 1-9 keys should work for numpad shortcuts as you're following along in this video.

I startet watching you for the 10 min challenges but they weren that good to follow so i appreciate those slower videos. Thank you.

    This is what I've needed for years. So much of the difficulty of learning a new program is figuring out what the heck the tools do and where they are on the interface n what the shortcuts are. I knew I COULD do so many things, but figuring out what those things are called n where they are on the ui has been extremely frustrating. Thanks for making these videos dood!

Blender tutorials are really hard to follow sometimes for beginners because the commentator won't explicitly state what keys they are pressing which makes following along with the workflow much much much more difficult. But you do an amazing job saying everything that you do which makes modeling along side you a lot more efficient and easier so thank you!!
