🎬 Welcome to Crossmind Studio's Blender Course: "Animated Character Creation in 3D" - Your Ultimate Beginner-Friendly Guide!
🌟 About the Course:
This comprehensive guide is designed for aspiring beginners, providing an immersive journey from character modeling, uv, shading, rigging to making your first animated scene and rendering it.
This course is crafted for beginners who often find themselves with questions right after delving into 3D software and wondering how animated characters are created. In this course, we take things up a notch, moving beyond basic object modeling to the creation of characters, guiding you through the entire process, ultimately leading to animation.
Featuring over 10 hours of content spread across 20 chapters (compressing more than 40 hours of tightly edited material).
By the end of this course, you will have understood all the aspects involved in creating characters and how you can use this knowledge to craft your animated stories.
Whether you aim to create characters for animations, illustrations, motion graphics, music videos, or your own UA-cam channel, this course is suitable for everyone. It guides you through the entire process without overwhelming you with details that can be explored at a later stage.
--------------------------------------------------
🐱🏍 More insight into this course.
I'm sure many of you who are learning 3D and animation have stories to tell. Whether it's through animations, illustrations, graphic novels, music videos, experimental films or UA-cam videos, there are various mediums to express your thoughts. Every one of us stepping into the world of 3d is curious about one thing right after getting introduced to these fancy software's: how do you make animated characters? And that's what this series is all about.
We're going to create a character in 3D, and not just a 3d model but an animated 3d character model, which you can use to bring your stories to life. Just like how you must have seen in cartoon shows. By the end of the series, we'll have animated the character, covering everything from modelling, UV mapping, texturing, shading, armature rigging, all the way to animation, simulations and final rendering. Most importantly, we'll be doing it in a way that is beginner friendly. You don't need to have knowledge of sculpting or a great understanding of human anatomy to follow along.

1. What version are you using in this course?
I am using Pre-release 4.0, but this tutorial is compatible with previous versions as well. A few improvements and updates in riggify and shading nodes have been mentioned, comparing both the old and new versions. You can also follow along with the LTS version.
2. Where can i get the full course?
crossmindstudio.gumroad.com/l/animatedcharacter
3. Is this course entirely free?
The course is not entirely free. Modeling to shading chapters will be released on UA-cam every few weeks. However, the Premium edition on Gumroad unlocks the full course, including the
complete process from modeling, UV, shading, rigging overview, rigging with riggify, weight painting, props manual rigs, pose library setup, animating walk cycles, creating a background with geometry nodes and procedural shaders, lighting, final rendering, and compositing. In addition to bonus content, it also comes with project files, animated bonus scenes, and other benefits. Check gumroad for full information.
4. Will this course be compatible with the next release?
For as long as there are no major changes to the interface of Blender, this course should be compatible. The last major UI change Blender received was recently during version 3.0, and the same
will be followed in upcoming versions as well.
5. I am an absolute beginner; can I watch this series?
If you have never used Blender before, I suggest you clear the basics first. Please check out this series, which helps with basics:
ua-cam.com/play/PLgO2ChD7acqH5S3fCO1GbAJC55NeVaCCp.html). After this, it will be easier for you to follow along with the new concepts introduced in this course.
6. I need help regarding the course; where should I connect?
You can use the dedicated Discord channel for this server. The link to Discord is available in the description and channel banner:

This was the very first channel I watched when I was learning blender 3 years ago. 🚀🚀
How did it turn out?
This class was so cool! I took the airplane course about a year ago, and then I started studying to model realistic cars. I've been struggling a lot to achieve clean and beautiful topology. Now, I'm here to learn a bit about character modeling, and in this first video, I probably learned more about getting a well-made mesh than in countless videos I've watched so far! You're awesome!
it is CRAZY that this series is free
I was searching for this sort of video for quite a while, where every topology fundamental is explained. Great video! Really helped. Thanks!
@@ravikaraj this is character creation course
Chk further chapters
Outstanding work Ram! This is what we've been waiting for! Looking forward to learning from you! 🙏💯
Crossmind doesn't miss❤️❣️ appreciate all the advice in this video. I'm not a character creator but I still found this helpful. Thankyou
Thanks :D
Really excited. I lost my synch with this software for couple of years, Please keep uploading
Just bought your course and i cant wait to get back home to work on it thank a lot this is awesome
Hey bro, if you don't mind you can give me a course video😅
Yeaaaaaaaaaah!!! Our Blender Sensei is back!!!🔥💪
😂
Awesome start to yet another informative and well-put series! Outstanding! 🔥
Was eagerly waiting for this course. Really loved your other courses. Thank you for spreading your knowledge about 3d modelling. Really helped a lot. 💕🤩☺️
The way u teaching is incredible sir. Keep posting all series.
Thank you
You answered questions I've had for years in one video 💀💀💀😱😱😱 new sub
Hope you follow this all the way. Cant wait to see your character.
@CrossMindStudio I finished my charecter yesterday if you wanna see it. I already knew alot of techniques prior to this but this time turned out so much better because I didn't know these basics and I didn't understand why you needed a clean sketch. Where can I shoe you my model? It's actually based on one of my original charecters :D
Here we go again 8-)
thank you so much for making this series for free god bless you
Best tutorial on UA-cam ❤
My Blender Guru ❤❤💐
Great Work Sir, Excellent effort to teach people, Detailed technical explanation given, thanks a lot.
Awesome stuff, thank you!!!
Very good and great teacher. Please can you make tutorials on how to create a city and environment. Your tutorials have been really helpful to me. Thank you.
My dumbass thought I could move donut animation to character modelling lol
Have you cleared introduction series?
ua-cam.com/play/PLgO2ChD7acqH5S3fCO1GbAJC55NeVaCCp.html
@@CrossMindStudio I just had a look and looks really detailed ( literally 10 hours total lol). But I won't give up. Thanks for great tutorials tho. Btw just wondering , can you tell me how many years do you use blender?
I will answer that once you finish this series ( beginners) :)
Yo have you finished it yet?@@PeakOfHumor
@@safinahammed8543 I gave up
Hello Bro, I am really super excited about this opportunity to learn 3D character creation and animation.
Thank you so much.
Cheers
This reminds me of Darin lyles tutorial way back, but so much better
I suggest Instead to Audio Captions Let be captions be the buttons press bcz im not getting by what clicking you are getting that loops im very much new to this
If you are new to blender, i suggest you try this series first
ua-cam.com/video/e-fetDXDXX8/v-deo.html
Your tutorials are excellent..
Awesome!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you sooooo much for this.
Glad it helped.
wow nice bro
love you maaaan. great work
Appreciate it!
Thank you so much brother ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Glad it was useful :)
this is good
I am going to do this. I have started this course and failed twice😢. But i will keep trying till I get it🙂
this is very useful. just wanted to bring to your attention that you even mention video part 6 for further reference, yet in the playlist part 6 is not listed but youtube shows that 1 video is not available, which is probably part6...
Chk now
@@CrossMindStudio #6 is there, still youtube mentions one unavailable video. and the trailer is between 2 and 3, makes no sense. keep it up!!!
@12:51 is this part of "Essential topology editing techniques " part of the full course or is that a different course?
Plz! What's the least specifications to achieve good rendering in blender with low budget?
how to add a mesh like armature in the start of video and add motions i am a beginner and i also dont know how to add animations in armature at 3:19
Amazing topology tutorial! My question is, how you scale at 21:35 because when I try there is only the edges scale
Not to be a debbie downer since most of the video is good information, but at 24:52 you say 'Quad here, Quad here' but those are NGons since you did not yet reroute the edges from their right side.
Great video nonetheless :3
LFG!!!
❤❤
This was an excellent tutorial series! Thank you for making and posting it.
If I may ask, could you please link to the video referenced at 12:50 "Essential Topology Editing Techniques"? It looks like a nice next step to add general knowledge and technique to my tool set, but I'm having a hard time finding that specific video. Or is that an extended section in the premium course?
Chk full course playlist in description and playlist section
A new journey 🎉 let's do this together ❤
Yes🙂🙂🙏🙏🙏🙏
thank you
You're welcome
Oh thanks for this dawg, so in retrospect every retopolized object is constructed for efficiency so the subdivisions surface can make the rest of the surface look more complete ?
How will we get the starting chapters like week wise or daily
finally
24:51 there is an ngone though
WQAITING FOR NEW CHAPTER
Later chapters are part of premium edition. Kindly check the course introduction video or description.
Only modeling and shading chapters are on youtube. Animation, Riggify rigging, walk cycle, cloth simulation , rendering etc is part of paid version.
How did you get the leg in the first place 😡 :.. I don’t know how
Great man this is my first video of yours and it got me to subscribe your channel
Hey Thanks :D welcome to channel. Do chk playlist section.
@@CrossMindStudio I'm already checking that out man😁🤝🤘

Using Ctrl+B
If you are absolute beginner to Blender
Start Here instead

Where is the second part
Is there a way you can introduce the same introduction of blender but in a new updated version?
'Introduction to Blender for Beginners' series is still compatible with latest version.
some of us are new to blender so if you could really start on how to even do the small details it would have been helpful to some of us

@@CrossMindStudio thanks alot
Do I need a drawing tablet for this course?
Great! Question: On the leg demo, how are you making edits to the geometry, like adding loop cuts, as it's being deformed by the armature?
Also, how are you posing the armature in edit mode and not pose mode?
done
