[@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?

[@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?

[@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.

[@WoodBuckStudio]

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

[@rosamoreno-cubias1189]

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!!

[@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.

[@RobanXG]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@davidsyahputra8747]

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

[@chello1731]

No download link for the rederence images?

[@DanielKreuter]

The reference image is available on our discord server. If you are planning to work along, feel free to join us on discord, where you can share your progress and ask questions! discord.gg/qEb8R6cHQP

[@JimmNeutricity]

Thanks.

[@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!

[@yasho162]

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

[@ajithsp9016]

Can you please share the character blueprint of photoshop?

[@asikkk2600]

bro's voice is majestic

[@ceDnHa]

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

[@wild_jabbhaha_man_6]

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

[@Mecha-0178]

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

[@ocdfx]

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

[@lakepants]

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

[@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.

[@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...

[@MelonBreadVR]

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

[@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

[@neoteraflare]

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

[@yufengxiao9796]

good tutorial and the music i love it

[@louisveran2439]

Leguuuuuu ! I like the choice of character!

[@louisveran2439]

alright, Reg

[@alinetheog]

hi where can i find these references ?

[@jmaslaki]

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

[@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?

[@joshuawong2305]

Lez go dan. Glad i caught this at the beginning

[@violettracey]

Thanks for making this series!

[@HhbHgjj]

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

[@123100ozzy]

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

[@usmankamboh8219]

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

[@MissesLean]

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

[@kenzoasia8588]

THANK YOU YOU ARE AWESOME

[@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

[@Tuhakaa]

@@vinestaffery hows it going now??

[@vinestaffery]

@@Tuhakaa 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

[@mephisto2348]

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

[@duzzitmatter5100]

Where can we gather the reference he is using

[@mnbvcxzq813]

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

[@unhott1893]

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

[@HamzaIndieUnity]

Okkkk Let's do it💪

[@StoneGear]

Let's go. 😳

[@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

[@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

[@nicolaslamelza219]

where can I download the ref img??

[@strawberryboop09]

lol we all go hardcore after the donut!

[@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.

[@animeeveryday5979]

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

[@IRONMAN36554]

where reference image ?

[@chosenmopol19]

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

[@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

[@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?

[@1983PHD]

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

[@luismendes8238]

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

[@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?

[@salohkcin]

Can we get that reference image to follow along?

[@DanielKreuter]

It is available on my discord server. You can find a link to join in the pinned comment.

[@salohkcin]

@@DanielKreuter Oh Great! Thanks

[@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?

[@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

[@joanaandrade1026]

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

Is there a link to the reference drawing so i can follow along ;(
