BLENDER TUTORIAL - How to make a cute and simple character

[@redcrystalite5470]

I fell in love for your roller skating characters and wondered how you did the hair, this is the only thing I mess up with texturing

[@maoly_studio]

Thanks a lot !! For this one I used hair particule syste, and placing few hair at a time. I could do a tutorial to explained the process 😄 !

[@Koinu12]

Hi! Followed your process and it was fun. I've been avoiding doing character modeling for a long time and doing it your way made it really fun. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@maoly_studio]

Thanks so much I’m really glad this tutorial have helped you !!

[@Karma-j2d]

I tried your tutorial but somehow I would need a step by step tutorial,... I'm on the project for 3 weeks and have your video always on -0.25 and have very problems to follow it 🥹 but now I’m almost finished but it’s a very cute char ♡

[@maoly_studio]

Ahh sorry this tutorial wasn’t made for very begginer user 😔 but one day i would do a step by step tutorial !! Thanks for following it anyway i would love to see your finish result !!

@@maoly_studio but its still a how to video for a "simple character". Would it have killed you to give a little more detail? :(

Cool video! I made my own character with this pipeline) This is literally the second thing I tried to do in blender and she is cool thanks to your tutorial.Thank you a lot! Very nice style

0:55 Hi!! I notice that you use draw sharp tool to directly create a hole for the eye instead of doing the poly modeling technique where you work with the vertices. Does this make the topology more complicated and you get a high poly result?? Does doing sculpting make the character harder to rig and animate?? Im new to blender and im sooo lost idk if it’s better to make heads by 3D sculpting or poly modeling. Pls give me some advice! (Amazing channel btw u just earned a subscriber ❤)

[@maoly_studio]

Hiii ! First thanks for your message that is really sweet !💜 This was one of the first method I used to create character and at time time I find it useful to create the eyes hole directly with the sculpting mode ! But yes when create sculpting method it's going to give you a very high poly character (which isn't the best for rendering and animating!!) So if you want to use this method and then animate the character doing retopology is a must ! (in my video "BLENDER TIMELAPSE - CUTE WINTER CHARACTER" at 12:24 I'm doing the retopology of a face that looks like the one on this tutorial, if you want to see what it can look like!) Most of the time the sculpting method is great when you want to add details to the mesh (either it's for character or objects) but doing the retopology right after is a must. Now that I've created lots of characters (with sculpting & modeling) I think for beginners it's better to use the poly modeling method (but with this method it's also harder to have a perfect topology 😅) ( I also made a tutorial on how to make a face with just the modeling tools "Modeling face in blender WITHOUT SCULPTING" if it can help !) I hope I have answer your question 🥺 don't hesitate if you have more questions !!

[@hpnosense1189]

I love your style❤😮

[@YelloYak]

Such a cute and fun tutorial! Though I am stuck at 5:10 when trying to join the feet to the legs - any tips?

[@maoly_studio]

Hi ! To join the feet to the legs you can either select the points of the foot and merge then one by one with the points f the legs. Or you can select the vertices of the foot and the legs and in the looptools section you choose bridge to connect them together !

[@YelloYak]

@@maoly_studio Hmm, I did try both of those options and for some reason the mesh protrudes outwards in the shape of a square at the join point instead of being continuous and smooth (hope that makes sense). Even tried removing all modifiers before joining. Not sure what’s going on. I’ll try fiddling with it some more lol. Thank you so much for getting back to me anyways!!

[@maoly_studio]

@@YelloYak from what I understand, once you have join the 2 mesh, go in edit mode select all your mesh with A and then press ALT N , and select « recalculate outside » ! (I think its because of the normals that aren’t in the right direction so doing this should fix the problem I hope!)

[@YelloYak]

@@maoly_studio Omg you are a lifesaver, thank you soo much!! 😭😭💕

[@boo-wx6rg]

Yaye! Thanks for making a character video!!! Did you use a mouse and keyboard for the sculpting bit? 😊

[@maoly_studio]

Yes I only used a mouse and keyboard during the whole process! You can use a tablet but since this is simple sculpting the mouse is enough !! 😊

Great video I've seen your instagram and I love your flower shop Maybe you could make video on flower making ?

[@maoly_studio]

Thanks a lot !! Thats a great idea 😄

[@Flowerbed_]

Hey! Low chance that you might see this but I’d like to say it anyways. I’m entering into an animation competition (my first ever) so that I have a better chance at getting into a animation collage cheaper. I was going to do a more realistic style approach for the story but when I seen you art I fell in love! Your style fits so well with my story script and wanted to let you know I am going to do it in your style! One of the requirements is to credit the people who helped with the project and I’ll definitely be putting your name in as a HUGE thanks 😊 I hope that you grow as a creator because your work is outstanding!

[@maoly_studio]

Omg that is so so sweet !!! Thanks so much , i’m so happy my art helped you even if it’s just a tiny bit 🥹🥹. I really hope you will win this competition i’m totally rooting for you 💙 ! (I don’t know if it’s possible but I would love to see the end result if you post it somewhere !!)

[@Flowerbed_]

@@maoly_studio of course! I’m sure that the final product will be on the website itself ‘CHAINSAW game and music festival’ but I’ll probably upload it here to this platform too, your art it just amazing and so unique, your art will help me stand out in this competition I’m sure! 💕

[@ryzigg7187]

my bridging ain't bridging ! I press bridge on every toes' vertices - extrude - but it never joins up. Edges are being created in between the toes, but they don't seem to be connecting like yours at all. I end up with double the edges and the toes of salad fingers I dont know what im doing wrong. any help is much appreciated!

[@naimalaid9908]

Hello, thanks you for this tutotoriel! Can you rig this kind of character and make it move?

[@maoly_studio]

Hi ! Not the best model to rig and animate it (because its not optimize) , must do retopology over it i think…!

[@ellienova-fv1rh]

Hello, I love your character style! Im a beginner with blender and I have trouble mirroring the ear along the Z axis, it always mirrors it along it's own middle.. any advice would be apprecciated :)

[@maoly_studio]

Hi ! Few things that could help : If it’s not already the case, in the mirror modifier there is the section « mirror object » : here select the head ! If it’s not working you can always right click on you ear, and set the origin to 3D cursor (which is normaly placed in the middle of your scene (if it has moved press shift C to reset its position and then set the origin of your ear to 3d cursor !)) Hope this help !

[@600justagirlIlayda10]

Hey can you help me? I Stuck at 00:54 for some reasons I can’t make a hole in the eyes.. I feel like I already tried everything but for some reasons it’s not working?

[@600justagirlIlayda10]

Can you help me ? Pls 😫

[@maoly_studio]

hello ! Hmm it’s hard to say since i don’t have your file in front of le but lets try a few thing : 1) lets check that you have click on your head before going into sculpting mode (so that the head is selected) 2) make sure you have applied the subdivion surface ! 3) maybe you have created a mask without knowing. I think ALT M clear the mask (or you can still go in the mask tab on the top of the sculpting mode next to Sculpt and Face Sets ) Lets me know if any of this have help !!

How to interact with all the vertices of an object (I can only interact with four in one plane, like with a cube). I hope I have spoken clearly;(( Pls help me 🥺

[@maoly_studio]

Hi ! i’m not sure if i understand well the problem so here are few answers that might help : 1) go select all points/vertices/faces on a objet you can press A in edit mode 2) if you have only four vertices like with a cube maybe it’s because you didn’t apply the subdivision modifier ? Let me know if this help !!

[@Yanshi_Byte]

Hello! I just finished editing the head but when I smooth the head with subdivision surface 3, there's a clear vertical line running through the middle of the head. Do you perhaps have any ideas on what I did to make that happen?

[@maoly_studio]

Hello ! I think it may be because you have a face INSIDE the head in the middle? (Sometimes it can also be because you have used a mirror modifier and a subdvision modifier , in the pannel your mirror modifier is supposed to be on top of the subdivision one !) Hope this help !

[@faizAliass]

Why it is hard to select the vertex in sculting mode, lag for fews seconds

[@maoly_studio]

Hi, if you have add a subdivision modifier maybe it’s because you add too much subdivision ? (3 and 4 are heavier than just 1 or 2)

[@ananurfaqizabintiahmadsayutipe]

why my blender doesn't have the cube after subdivision :(

[@maoly_studio]

You have to first add a simple cube and then add the subdivision modifier in the right tab !

Hi i'm a beginner at blender, ive been stuck at 4:43 when i tried to delete my edge it kind of left vertex and left behind skeleton instead of it being 'flat" & merge. and if i delete the 3 edge only it only produce a hollow inside instead of the opaque view according to the video. Anyone can help with this?

[@maoly_studio]

Hi ! I’m not sure if i understand your problem 😅 if it doesn’t work when you delete the vertex maybe try deleting the only the faces first ? Or try dissolve edges instead of deleting edges ?

[@eeeeazy]

@@maoly_studio yeah really new to this. idk the correct term. But what i did wrong was i simply choose the wrong edge to be remove. Thanks for helping

[@Mimiraa]

i'm stuck at 4:35 can someone please help me why can't i make the bridge for vertex?

[@maoly_studio]

hi ! If the bridge tool doesn’t work i think you can press ctrl j to join the point (select two point at a time and then press ctrl j to join them, then to this for every point you need to join) hope this help !

[@jijka7393]

Why in single vert i have got only one point? На минуте 3:01

[@maoly_studio]

You need to extrude it by pressing E and right click where you want your second point to go :) !

[@alyshagayle1578]

2:58 my blender doesn’t have single vert :/

[@maoly_studio]

If i remember well you just have to go into edit > preferences > add-on > in the right corner just type extra object and click on the checkbox to activate it ! And don’t Forget to save (in the left corner) before closing the tab !! Hope it works ☺️ !
