Blender for Beginners: Easy Froggy!

[@mariorose8948]

If you have truble with unwraping try the following. Instead of pressing U, press alt+n and select "set from faces". Now some blue lines should apear on your model. Press alt+n again and select "merge". After this your model should unwrap nicely.

Im an early beginner, when I heard you say "were going to move some vertices to fix the topology" I was like "pfffftt, I dont have to do that, shes being extra", Halfway through the modeling of the arms I realized I was severely wrong and i had to start over, you taught me a powerful lesson about having beautiful topology. Thank you so much!!

[@Droog75]

I'm having my students do this tutorial. It's taken us a solid month. We're all beginners. Moving forward, I'm going to adjust this to have the arms stick out because we all had lots of problems at the armpit area.

My first model a while back was an Animal Crossing character and I couldn't find any tutorials for the sort of thing I wanted to make at the time so I just kind of winged it. This would have saved me so much time! I would love to see a rigging tutorial, I found it so hard to translate the generic rigging tutorials I found to a character like this.

[@Droog75]

Funny you mention Animal Crossing characters. I assigned this Froggy tutorial to my high school students and as a follow up / application to this wonderful tutorial I'm having them design their own Animal Crossing character.

[@kristianthaler6525]

I tried rigging an orc character that was very round and chubby. I had trouble with the first rig because the bones were pulling on a lot of unexpected parts, adding more smaller bones to the second one gave me a lot more control and made weight-painting a lot easier too.

[@danz1965]

what's the short cut for Mac?

[@himonstercartoons]

This has to be the best blender tutorial there is, not only did it teach me how to make a froggy, it also taught me some basic blender skills!

[@vi0letstar]

Finished & Final Thoughts: I'm straight up new to Blender, and I would say this tutorial is for "Beginners who already know the basics of Blender". This is a, "Beginner to Intermediate" tutorial. I am strictly speaking from a totally new-to-Blender viewpoint: ▪ This needs to be a 2 part video - Creating the Model and UV Mapping. ▪ Speeding up your voice (or talking fast?) with no short pauses is not good for newbies. ▪ There were a few areas where parts were not explained or glossed over (ex. how to lay the image flat 'perfectly', what happens when Proportional Editing doesn't work, the middle mouse double click that I never used and needed to be slowed down, 15:15 Viewpoint Shading, how lighting and proper placement to maximize your render should work during the UV Mapping stage, how to rotate the camera around your model for a different angle...); corrections via annotations or subtitles would easily fix this without making an entirely new video. ▪ Alternatively, creating a new Top Comment with fixes of common problems people are having and pinning that instead would also be helpful if annotations or subtitles aren't able to be implemented. ▪ It needs an official transcript from the creator. ▪ Keyboard strokes need to be more visible with alternatives for those working on Mac. I started this on Jan 30th, and finished today Feb 4th, but taking breaks out from becoming frustrated in some parts, this took me ~3 days to make even though I thought this would take me about 4hrs to make (coming from a total newbie point). Yes, it is easy to create this model and UV map it, but the being taught process was where the issues arose. It's still a good tutorial, don't get me wrong, but it's not one I would recommend right off the get-go.

[@saiyanknight1]

what would you reccomend off the get go? i am totally new and all the buttons are overhwelimg. and i agree with your points. the going super fast is a bit frustrating and i dont wanna be fustrated at someone who is teaching me but yeah it is. i put the video to 0.5 speed after 15 seconds cause i knew it was gonna be a problem and it is. i was three minutes in and she went silent at a part i was not sure how to do and i have a touchpad not a mouse so she was using like a scroll wheel and it would have been nice to know what that was cause i pressed one thing and messed up and just had to start over again cause idk if there is a undo button and ITS FREAKING ME OUT PLS OH GOD.

[@kevinnn66]

i totally agree and felt kinda dumb trying to follow along :(

[@tjanguyen]

@@May-rk3sl I just finished and rendered my donut from blenderguru yesterday. After 8 days and completing all 16 parts of his tutorial, this one def is super easy to follow. I would say check out his video. His first video is just getting to know blender and learning shortcuts. You don't even need to watch all 16 parts. He has all those partns for beginners to learn all the different functions and possibilities but it's def not required. I recommend checking how his first few vids for the donut tutorial and following along. And then when you go back to this, it's pretty easy to follow along.

how did she get the colorful map in the texture painting part? :/

[@MortMort]

Lovely video Mar! :D Think a lot of people will learn some great stuff from this! In Color Management you should try and set the "filmic" to "Standard" that way you get the same colors as on your texture, not sure why Filmic is standart it seem to watch out all the colors

[@princesspiranha]

Thank you both: MortMort and MAR, for making amazing tutorials! I now have awesome weapons/shield with pretty gradient colors and a cute little Froggo. I learned so much from both of you :)

[@Marcelaylucin]

Ahhh just seeing this!!! thanks MortMort!! so weird/annoying that Filmic is there by default!

[@tingal]

@@Marcelaylucin It isn't annoying at all: Filmic is a lot better than Standard because it allows for a higher range of light - making the clipping range larger and more realistic. It has several contrast modes already, as well as the compositer, in case you do not want to use GIMP or Lightroom/Photoshop.

[@Spritscake]

oh my god thanks for the tip this drove me crazy

[@ghaznavipc]

filmic is for a realistic render that calculate color of objects more correct when a light hits an object (based of physics of the real world). standard is from the older versions of blender. if you want fantasy, abstract, not-realistic renders and want to see colors as it is (even if it's more saturated than real world) then standard is the way to go for it.

Great video! However from UV mapping and onward it gets confusing. She went from explaining everything well to fast forwarding parts that as a beginner I wouldn't know. Also I wish there was an indication of when she clicks on something, like in 15:19 I have no idea how the colorful map appeared and I can't figure it out, its a little frustrating for me, hopefully I can get to the end of this tutorial.

[@kristianthaler6525]

Instead of deleting the starting cube, u can just select it and press ctrl + 1-4 to subdivide it. I like to start with a single subdivision on a cube and then adding loop cuts as I need them. This tends to keep my poly count low until I want to add more detail.

[@LmanRegular]

Hey, how is your music video going?

[@Mr.Meowgical]

@@LmanRegular Hi! Around the time of my original comment, I completed an Animal Crossing inspired track just for this Blender idea, but I ended up dropping Blender to go back to working on my music and some audiovisual videos. I had created a model of a cat, a tree, and a small "world", all in the style of Animal Crossing just to give me a way to learn different aspects of Blender, but it was a LOT to do for me as a beginner, and I never finished it. Lost interest entirely. I might return to Blender eventually, but honestly, I consider my time with Blender a temporary break from arts/skills/programs that I am much more familiar with. I bother to mention all this because I know that someone might be beating themselves up for not being able to commit to Blender _or_ some other creative project. If you already have creative endeavors to fall back on, no worries, we don't _need_ to be a jack-of-all-trades, or the "master-of-all-trades" that perfectionism might suggest we need. We don't. If you don't have an area of expertise already and are just exploring creative outlets, that's fine too. Either way, just do what you feel like doing. Sometimes, especially if you have yet to call any area your calling, discipline _IS_ required to develop the skills you want to make the things you want to make, and I promise it's totally worth it. It's only hard in the beginning, but once things become habit, passion can *really* take over and before you know it, you can't live without creating what you love ALL the time. I didn't intend to drop all this text when I started this comment lol, but maybe someone in a certain place in their life will read this at a certain time. I 'unno.

Loving this tutorial but at 4:10 I'm struggling trying to pan around the image to delete the vertices for the ears. Almost like it won't let me pan around the X axis if that makes sense. Any suggestions for a true newbie?

[@ThemisadventuresofLu]

If I’m understanding you correctly, holding the middle mouse button (scroll wheel) will help you pan around your model

[@TheRealArtDoctor]

Thank you so much! I;'ve been putting off learning blender for a while but this video taught me a lot today. I can't wait to finish my frog, I customized mine but it didn't come out as cute as yours. Thanks!

If toggle overlays doesn't show up you can do "ALT + SHIFT + Z"

What’s the shortcut on a mac, please?

[@SourPlanet]

Awesome! Because you're so thorough, this video fills a buncha tiny but crucial knowledge gaps which other tutorials don't make clear. I've been using Blender since 2.78 and I picked up two tiny things from this video... that ultimately brought an entire workflow together *finally*. Great work. Instant follow 🙌

[@hometown4791]

my texture brush isnt working???? im trying to draw but nothings showing up. this is super frustrating. i did exactly what the tut said :(

[@smallbizcat]

Complete beginner here, thank you so much for making this! Also gotta love a cute froggo

[@igormerten8549]

why is this so harddddd

[@TeesyGonzalezL]

Este es el mejor tutorial de Blender! Es la PRIMERA vez que uso el programa y todo me quedó muy claro! Todo súper bien explicado Se los recomiendo!

[@Crippley]

Man the way you explain and show every step makes it easy to understand. I wanna give learning 3d another try and this will be so helpful, Thank you so much! 😭💖🙏

[@Mina_Katana]

i've been using blender for school for almost a year now (I study in video game) and from watching like 3 videos of yours I've learned so much stuff i didnt know about the software aaaa thank u so much. I jsut have a question, I dont fully understand what the 3 Button mouse add-on is for. Is it because you're on mac with the magic mouse or should I also activate it with windows? (I assumed you were on mac because of the overlay but I might be wrong)

[@Marcelaylucin]

Thanks for watching!! The Emulate 3 mouse button option is because I use a graphics tablet instead of a mouse, and the pen doesnt have 3 buttons, so when that button is on, I can select loops with double click. Someone in my previous tutorial mentioned the double click selection wasnt working for them, and I realised it was because the Emulate 3 mouse button was off. If you have it off, I think you can select loops with Alt+ left click, and its also fine!

[@Mina_Katana]

@@Marcelaylucin I see I see! Thank you for your answer

[@Leo-lz7ow]

Ive been tossed around by so many blender tutorials (TxT;) this video really surpassed my expectations! This is the furthest ive gone making a 3d model and the most comprehension ive felt in how to apply blender to my own projects, thank you so much!!

[@nicolashf]

This should be in animal crossing, good tutorial

[@jajiii6255]

omg u're a goddess

[@shark6350]

this is not a starting tutoital. more medium/ adavcned, and the pace is wayyyyyy 2 fast for me lol. still following along.

[@Katy133]

Thank you for making this tutorial, I used this to create my first Blender-made 3D model!

[@abrilreyes8602]

Whenever I do the shade smooth on the rounded cube, it makes this weird line down the middle of the object. Does anyone know why? My rounded cube doesn’t seem as round as hers, and It has 4 pointy areas on the top, bottom and both of the sides of the object. :(((

[@Marcelaylucin]

Hmmm...can you check the mirror modifier is first on your modifiers tab? What I think you are describing happens if you add the subdivision surface modifier first, and then the mirror modifier. Mirror modifier should be first on your list. Let me know if this worked🙏

[@Comic_Slams]

I also had this problem so for anyone else struggling: I had to select all, go to mesh > merge > then "By distance". Credit to Moonboots on the Blender forum for this solution : )

[@kiddkrool]

@@Comic_Slams Thank you so much

[@aldaryss]

@@Marcelaylucin I have this problem but fixing it with putting Mirror first.

[@kamesvindictae6824]

I started learning Blende at the beggining of this year thank to this tutorial, Im really gratefull for your work here, Thank you Mar

[@spicymajsy]

Omg such a good tutorial! I managed to make my own cute character. If I want to try to rig and animate the character, is it best to join the head, body and clothes to one single mesh or should I keep them separate? I want to make it walk around in Unity in the end :D

[@summeroriginsart]

A little late to this, and you may have figured it out but it's best to have them all merged for optimisation purposes! (unless you're planning to have dressup elements, that's a different beast entirely) you could even delete the areas hidden under the clothes too (i.e upper torso) to help with performance!

[@eat_noodles]

This was really helpful and I already feel so much more confident with Blender, this was only my 2nd time using blender too!!

[@codfr]

??? how do i open another window???
