[#02] Blender 3.0 Character Modeling Tutorial - Reference Setup [2022]

[@skuadratti8055]

starting my journey today here right after the infamous donut tutorial! good luck to everyone that is reading this and also starting!

[@DanielKreuter]

Good luck! You can do it 🙌

[@Sasquatch1s3r]

Im also starting here after the donut, glad to know im not the only one, good luck to you

[@RitualKnight091]

I didn't do a donut but i did something low poly so now im doing high poly

[@simkimough]

Same here

[@daniyal010]

Guys, how is modelling going for you guys? How have you guys progressed in one year?

[@dead-chan1892]

It's great that you mentioned ways of resetting the 3D cursor ball. I've clumsily moved it with shift + right click too many times without knowing what it was or how to properly put it back.

[@JoshuaAupiais]

I have watched the blender doughnut tutorial, and an entire blender beginners course, none of them mentioned holding down alt!!!! this man deserves a raise!!!

[@TheRealSavlon]

the donut tutorial mentions it, it has a whole section on it?

Im so happy i found this, i was having so much trouble setting up my reference and actually understanding the importance of what goes where (then get frustrated when things didnt turn out right), but now i can finally start doing the coreect things!!

[@WoodBuckStudio]

Just found this and can’t stop! I have been looking for something as basic and extensive as this! Thanks Daniel😊

[@BocchiMan.]

I'm just found this tutorial and i'm so grateful, that you made it with shading, texturing etc. And i want to tell, thank you. And that is even better because, you choose Reg, I saw made in abyss maybe a two weeks ago, and i love it.

[@JimmNeutricity]

Thanks.

[@kenzietownsend6644]

For anime, there's like the 8 year old Blender tutorials and the timelapse videos. :D Thank you for maybe starting a new trend.

[@RobanXG]

The free pre-made assets weren’t cutting it anymore and now I’m here

[@MEMES_0_0]

if you want to make the sketch in photoshop but don't have a tablet just create a new layer and use pen tool to create a path after creating you need to right click and click on stroke path to make desired stroke. its quite handy for mouse users

[@lindaw4534]

Thank you so much for putting the time into making a well explained tutorial. I'm using blender 4.1 but so far it's all the same!

[@MelonBreadVR]

Keep up these amazing tutorials Daniel~!! 💜💜💜

[@yasho162]

охх, я сидела час и не могла разобраться, но я рада, что к концу смогла понять суть. привыкаю к английскому... спасибо автор

[@davidsyahputra8747]

I dont know how to repay your kindness to share it out!! definitely a great tutorial!!

[@ocdfx]

this is great! i'm looking forward to see the rest of this project 👍

[@issacthompson330]

I personally use the default cube to line up my referances at the proper height. For example, if the character is 142.8 cm, the referance will be 142.8 cm from foot to top of head. Prevents issues from having 2 assets in the wrong scale. That said, I am nowhere near skilled enough to give any more advice on 3d modeling and if you are the only one to use an asset there is nothing wrong with a skewed but consistant scale. Honestly this advice was born from more experianced modelers complaining about assets on the internet being too big or too small to use without a major rework.

[@lakepants]

This tutorial goes at the perfect pace for me, thanks a bunch!

[@neoteraflare]

These blender tips are really good! Altough I use blender for a few month but still learned a lot of tricks and tips!

[@ceDnHa]

Let's go, I'm going to finish this entire tutorial from here.

[@vinestaffery]

I was inspired while playing VRChat by watching and navigating through peoples avatars, and I specifically wanted to make my own! So, I am here today learning how to make a vrchat model. My first day today! Hope goes well : ]

[@cosmosflano2327]

may i ask how has ur progress been going? :000

[@vinestaffery]

@@cosmosflano2327 Really, really well! I’m currently learning how to use unity as of currently : ] ive gotten quite far!! I will say it is rather time consuming and I do get somewhat tired quickly because of the process, and school has been constantly on and off, but I’m proud of my work :) Hoping to finish it later this week

[@HalfOrbit]

@@vinestaffery hows it going now??

[@vinestaffery]

@@HalfOrbit I finished it a few weeks ago! It went quite well :) But it was a bit of a hassle 🤧 Either way, it was really fun, but rigging it was so difficult

[@MissesLean]

Thank u for this great Tutorial Daniel :) And Pure Ref is super helpful, I really love to use it everytime .

[@HhbHgjj]

Little tip if u dont have photoshop u can trace things with krita or photopea

[@KimkeBlox]

You can also use Milanote for the reference basically the same thing but free with limited data

[@wild_jabbhaha_man_6]

Your voice is beautiful!, thank you so much it helped me understand the controls!

[@violettracey]

Thanks for making this series!

[@mephisto2348]

I would never do this as a professional.. but here, do this.. Love the tutorial so far, but damn 🤣🤣🤣

[@kenzoasia8588]

THANK YOU YOU ARE AWESOME

[@strawberryboop09]

lol we all go hardcore after the donut!

[@yufengxiao9796]

good tutorial and the music i love it

[@joshuawong2305]

Lez go dan. Glad i caught this at the beginning

[@louisveran2439]

Leguuuuuu ! I like the choice of character!

[@louisveran2439]

alright, Reg

[@HamzaIndieUnity]

Okkkk Let's do it💪

[@123100ozzy]

this is so much for free. thanks for that dude.

[@mnbvcxzq813]

The intro music is such a vibe! Did your brother release it on youtube? Because I would definietly listen to it.

[@luismendes8238]

I return to previous lessons just to give forgotten likes!!!!!

[@land3021]

3:38 Gotta say, tracing the outlines of characters, for me anyways, has been particularly difficult, since the shape of the head is... not how I would've expected it to be, as I almost instinctively try to draw a bulge in the head shape by the top of the ears...

[@chello1731]

No download link for the rederence images?

[@1983PHD]

great tutorial, thx for doing this and sharing this gem.

[@k_Why]

This trackball orbiting feels a little disorienting when you're not used to it xD never seen anyone use that in blender before

[@ajithsp9016]

Can you please share the character blueprint of photoshop?

[@joanaandrade1026]

Thank you for sharing this and for all the tips!!! Amazing :)

[@StoneGear]

Let's go. 😳

[@ravitgulati3115]

great cozy intro music

[@killer007964]

Nice, but where do I find the reference to put in blender to follow the tutorial?

[@Sigmich-k9o]

you can find the reference in a discord server

[@matthewdubey4499]

You can make one

[@Robert-og3xx]

Question: Do you share reference drawing where someone like me can follow along?

[@kaminastampede]

Just screenshot his reference from the video

[@bayana222]

@@kaminastampede bro please can u share the reference or the ss if u have cropped it?

[@arpair5]

Its funny because i wanted to learn blender to make a Reg 3d model

[@animeeveryday5979]

you should of put a link to the images you found for people to get to.

[@dennisecker6331]

Gutes Tutorial ! Weiter so

[@haseo]

Actually the reference link would be really helpful to follow you step by step. As a beginner I have no idea how to make a usable reference with photoshop.

[@YTRINX]

I took a screenshot when he was in photoshop and cropped it to size

[@Uncooked_Kod]

probably really late, but he has a link to his discord in the description which has the ref image

[@sobi991]

Lets go with the new chapter.. wish me luck guys.. i wish you some too

[@usmankamboh8219]

Sir I can't set reference image in blender please help me

I need to learn this within the week I wanna kms

[@thomsaga]

Please tutorial this until texturing and shadering too.. 🙏🤩

thanks bro

hi where can i find these references ?

[@jmas2593]

Where's the reference image to download?

[@Kitty_Cosmic]

i think it used to be there a couple months ago bit i cant find it either its weird

[@sennac115]

just wondering before i do a big mistake but can i use this tutorial to make any character or is it just with this one specifically?

[@akhmal3303]

much love thank you

[@alluphobie]

Greetings... did you tweak the shortcut? cause i hit double G but nothing happened can't slide selected edges :s

[@DanielKreuter]

Pressing G twice should work. Google for slide edge in Blender maybe?

[@duzzitmatter5100]

Where can we gather the reference he is using

[@RetirededKat]

So. Drag-and-drop isn't a thing in 3.6 apparently, which seems a little backwards to me, how did you do that?

[@chosenmopol19]

Please I any time I click subdivision surface, my app went off

[@max_ishere]

I knew there was a way to move the 3d cursor but it was never too much of a problem to just go in and reset it with numbers to look up C-c

[@SteenbergGaming]

I dont know if its just me, but it feels like theres something missing between hitting the pivot key, choosing the 3d option, and then getting the rotate thing you got on yours. When I try it myself, nothing happens after it changes from Median Point to 3D Cursor and didnt see any button clicking on video for it.

[@einchina]

I haven't seen any buttons, too. Anyways, you can change your pivot point using the menu on the top or pressing the period button: . (not the numeric keypad)

[@augustkat9875]

I'm having the same issue

[@augustkat9875]

I figured it out press r on your keyboard afterwards

[@EmberGlow_H]

@@augustkat9875 you legend, thank you lmao

[@korea_crush]

where reference image ?

[@nicolaslamelza219]

where can I download the ref img??

[@mprayagraj]

Will you cover rigging in this series ?

[@sugx_cube]

im pretty sure the first video said he will not but im not sure

[@DanielKreuter]

I am currently planning several follow up tutorials, one of which is rigging. The issue is that I am more familiar with Maya's rigging tools at this point. I still have to transfer my own knowledge a bit more before I can make something good. Will do my best of course!

[@mprayagraj]

@@DanielKreuter yes after all this modelling series hope you cover basic rigging and a walkcycle.

[@einchina]

@@DanielKreuter I really hope to see your tutorials about rigging in blender. It's so hard to find something so valuable for beginners! I've checked even the paid courses but couldn't find many of the questions covered in your videos.

[@baseddino]

im sorry bro but your tutorial is sooooooo slow

[@unhott1893]

If you use the numpad 1, 3, 7, and 9 I think those are faster than the alt + release middle mouse
