3D Model a Plushy Toy Dinosaur

Hi Creators,
I wanted to create something cute and plushy, so with your help (thank you for voting!), I am going to model a toy dinosaur! In this video tutorial, we cover how to start from the basic shape, extrude/scale/translate until we complete the dinosaur. We go over a lot of tools such as relax, fill hole, and more.
We have a lot to cover, so let's get started!

Awesome tutorial. Thanks for doing it in Maya. There are so many quality videos for Blender, but I find Maya content lacking. Your ones are great and a real life saver for those of us trying to learn. I appreciate the time and effort it took to make this series!

[@GhoulsNightOut]

Thank you so much for posting incredible videos showing the whole process on one model. I need to see things done in order to learn (I cant just read a textbook) and your videos are perfect. I appreciate that you follow through with doing the UVs and texturing on one item because its hard to learn by hopping around videos to trying to learn specific things.

Coolest tutorial! Thank you!

[@emilsky2001]

when you move the edges and vertices during 9:34 did you snap to vertex or curves? Also is there a way to make the mesh look smooth while not using #3 smooth mode but working on #1 polygon mode instead, while not using the smooth mesh tool as well?

I have problem with vertex tool and I don’t know how to fix it when I select vertex tool it won’t let me move single piece the hole shape move

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

You might have soft select on. Try clicking 'b' on your keyboard. That should turn it off. I hope that helps!
