[@LionheartWRH]

I'm gonna add that if anybody is confused on why his snake hook works like this at the beginning of the video when he makes the base mesh, he has dynamic topology turned on to allow him to draw out arms and legs.

[@DarthFetid]

that answers that question lol.

[@Wenedi]

Is it topography or topology

[@LionheartWRH]

@@Wenedi your right lol thanks for correcting my dumb spelling mistake.

[@jonsin7671]

I have a big question do i need model body if my model is covered by armour fully bc my friend said no all u need is sculpt head

[@zues3663]

@@jonsin7671 if your character is fully covered in armor then no need to model body, games do that to save performance

He just got so good at it that he just Block-Out-Characters in his head.

[@xard64]

Got to love how you at 36:53 just casually break one of the fundamental limitations of subsurface modelling when creasing sharp detail on curved surface without getting any nasty artifacts.

[@martinlibrefree]

can you explain a little bit more of that?

[@fishperson5390]

@@martinlibrefree Normally when you do that the extruded curves come out in different directions, it's really annoying

[@noehcatameo2360]

I can't do sculpting but thanks to you fly cat i can now model characters by following the modelling procedure you used on Neeko 3D 😊 I will always watch your vids keep up And thanks flycat 🙂 and as always your characters are hella awesome!

[@cyrotek3518]

Thanks for this, I was really intimidated when trying to create an armour for a character but your style made it much more manageable for me.

need 10 hour version of this armor modeling tutorial so i can learn if you don't mind making it

Been subbed to you for awhile now and I greatly appreciate your videos! Watching every video teaches me something new and I've been using Blender since 2013! I'm honestly thankful for these since it shows you don't need any paid software to make great art, just Blender and alot of patience.

[@lolioblender4547]

gorgeous!!!

[@pop2147]

Very pro, I'd like your work. Never see people make basemesh from sphere like that. I'm impressed. Btw, I think you should use official blender community badge for the video thumbnail instead of blender logo.

[@tomatobruv76]

I've been planning on delving into modelling. Mostly wanted to make armor concepts in 3d. This is going to be really helpful

[@beatdeath9962]

I'm just watching all your videos as it's both fun and the way I learn things, it's very nice and relaxing, especially since I'm now going to sleep. I chose this one to go to sleep on because I know It's just Lawbringer from For Honor, which is my favorite character in the game, this is a fun and relaxing watch that I'm learning from, I know the video is old, but thank you for all these videos I get to watch as well as for making this amazing content for everyone else to enjoy just as I am.

how do you make those edges with the solidifier modifier? gives me weird artifacts or do you not use the solidifier? looks amazing my dude!!!

Hi, you have the complete video whith out time lapse?, i need to undestern what tools you manage its the best tutorías of armor i saw útil now

[@dynasteve1615]

I don't understand why you'd model an object then manually mirror it to the other part of the body, take example with the knee guard from around 12:56, is there any special reason for that? But great video walkthrough by the way.

[@FlyCat1]

No, not any special reason, just temporary cause of laziness. I totally can mirror it once done the knee armor. Thank you.

[@cryptidddd]

Did you use shrinkwrap to keep the armor close to the body?

[@Klomster88]

Really cool model, your cloth and the steel look on the pollaxe is phenomenal. But as someone who knows (mostly) how to make armour it's fun to see someone who doesn't know the purpose of some parts and just adding them in 'because it looks right'. Don't get me wrong, it looks great. The detailing is nice and the understanding of materials is there. I'm envious as shit of your cloth. My best example though is the belt on the upper chest piece. What is that for? I know that medieval armours can have a belt there. But on this model it's just a belt that sits on one of the metal lames of the cuirass. It connects the lame to itself. Which makes its only purpose decorative. Which is fine. But the true purpose of that belt, is to connect the upper half of a cuirass to the bottom half. Making it so that the bottom half fits snuggly to the upper part instead of jutting out. But since this models cuirass is one piece (another pet peeve, how does he get it on?) this function is not required. The model is filled with such little details that i notice because i know how it should work and thusly i notice them being wrong. It's obvious you haven't gone for a historical look. With those chonky thicc plates and spikes and shit. It's cool stuff, i like the look. But nit picky people will notice the inaccuracies. (I guess nit picky people like me :P) If you ever want to do a hyper realism historical model you have to learn it. But for this highly stylised and exaggerated fantasy look it looks nice as is. I'd just think it was way cooler if all the little details were spot on. But i try to not be too picky with peoples hard work. Again, cool model, great material knowledge and control over the program.

oh my Blender

[@apeman5880]

Sick!

[@3DRamenArt]

Nice..what matcap are you using?

[@pyros.]

So I've always been curious about this. Do you create the character first and then create it again for the video, or is it raw modeling purely from imagination? Cause I seem to need dozens of references for armour and clothing and and I screw with one armour piece for like an hour trying to get it looking how I want. I def cant mock up a whole armour set in one go, as I spend far too long figuring out what I want the next piece to look like and trying to make it look good. Currently going on 4 weeks for my current character, and I'm still not happy with it really.

[@atgvolumes6772]

I imagine it just takes time man. I'm going to be starting doing this soon, ( I haven't even touched blender before as of writing this comment) but I am an audio engineer and musician. Some of the things I do now easily is stuff that when I started I never would have even thought that I could do it. About a year and a half ago, I decided to branch out from my roots (metal) and composed some cinematic/trailer/cutscenes styled medevalish music. It went great, and I had no idea where to start, I just did it. At some point it's less about referencing and more about trusting your skill, at least for me it is.

[@pyros.]

@@atgvolumes6772 Yeah, in the year since I made that comment I learned a lot and found out that It's what most people call a visual library. The goal is to work on certain things long enough until you know what it should look like from memory. Also, good luck starting out. It can be a bit frustrated at first trying to figure out how things work, but It's def worth pursuing in the long run.

[@atgvolumes6772]

@@pyros. absolutely man, I'm happy to see you get it all figured out! And yeah I definitely am expecting a massive challenge, but I'm confident after learning 2 separate softwares for music, and on my way to learning a third, plus various plugins and audio "rules" and then learning how to properly break those rules.

[@gopstopvasya5343]

not bad. but the question is whether all this needs to retop?

It baffles me how many of these equipment aren't actually connected (which is a good thing). SInce I always try to have everything connected some way and it causes me to break the mesh and spend too much time figuring it out

Hi ! ThankQ for your video man ! I wanted to do like u but i can join 2 points like in 4:30-4:40 min ! How did u do that ? Can u explain pls

[@nealcaffrey4837]

Hello, I know i'm a bit late to post a question but for the weapon, have you kept the multiresolution modifier or did you applied it and make a bake with a retopo version? I'm doing a character with an armor for animation and i got a lot of details on the armor and I'm afraid to loose some details if I do a baking for keeping the lowest poly possible. Great work, love your art !

[@John-cz7fo]

To get around this, you can bake two normal maps. You can switch dynamically between these two resolutions based on distance to the camera. Some programs add this functionality inherently.
