[@TheBcoolGuy]

Honestly, you shouldn't follow it precisely. If you can't follow along with this, you're not good enough to model an animal yet. I used this tutorial to make a cat, and I never thought about what he was pressing in the video. I encourage you to go learn the very basics. It's really boring, but just do it. You need to be comfortable with the most common modifiers, shortcuts, and almost all mesh manipulation, as in extruding, moving, proportional editing... Once you've got that down, you should be able to use this to make just about any animal, and maybe other stuff, too.

[@simons2210]

Kinda hard to get comfortable with the shortcuts and whatnot if they're never displayed. Mashing BS-ed key combos on a laptop isn't the most intuitive way to learn, just saying.

[@fifth_elephant]

What a silly comment. How are we supposed to follow a tutorial that doesn't tell you the buttons to press?

[@treehuggerx331]

Y’all, this took me over 2 hours and two separate frustrating attempts BUT I finally did it! Here are 2 things I discovered along the way that would have been nice to know prior to spending 2+ hours on a low poly animal that’s supposed to take 10 min😂 1) When applying the mirror, pay attention to where your object is on the axis. I repeatedly deleted the wrong face (following him) after extruding and used a mirror only to have the inside filled in and the outsides faceless. His object placement and mine were opposite for some reason, so I essentially had to work opposite of him. Had to delete the opposite face, had to flip my reference image therefore using ctrl+3 to do side view instead of 3, etc. 2) While initially forming the body of the animal (like very beginning), MAKE SURE that you have two vertices on the top and two on the bottom per block/face. While you can create a face using any 4 vertices (no more than 4 for loop cuts) , this will end up being problematic later on when you try to add the loop cut across the side of the body. There needs to be consistency/continuity. So pretty much can’t do 3 vertices in the top and one on the bottom (that will create a point and prevent you from creating that seamless across the side of the body loop cut). Thank you for this tutorial, really helped me figure out the smaller/simpler details and functions!

[@ChampionofNamira]

For anyone confused about deleting the faces and mirroring at 3:28 : Extrude (E key) to the OPPOSITE side than what the video shows. The video shows it extruding to the left, but you should extrude to the right, deleting the faces that are near the green line. The hollow opening side needs to point to the green line (or center) so the mirror mod can flip over that green line, thus making the whole thing solid. Then, once in object mode, press CtrlA and select "rotate" (just check off location and scale in the bottom left panel on the screen). Go back into edit mode, on the right side find the wrench icon (modifiers) and select mirror.

[@danpool279]

I just have to say that you may be the best tutorial guy out there. You never assume that people watching your videos know how to do even simple tasks (shift+tab for example). At the same time you drop in this knowledge without slowing down the pace of a quick tutorial. I have much respect for that. I've been using blender for a few years now, so I knew most of the pointers you had, but I people usually loose me when they start doing the "for Dummies" version of a lesson. That wasn't the case here because you didn't drop the pace when you went back to basics. Great job, mate. I will admit that I never knew about the CTRL+click extruding. This is a great trick that will speed up my work greatly. It does one cool thing that extrude doesn't do: the edges follow the curvature instead of keeping the same rotation.

[@grabbitt]

Thanks very much and thanks for taking the time to write this

Grant: creates a low poly elephant in 10 minutes Me: found the delete basic cube in 10 minutes

[@tricityterror]

In case this is controversial in comments 4 years later, I really liked this tutorial -- it built upon a lot of super basic skills I've acquired from other tutorials, and gave me an approach to something rather than do this exactly. I ran into one pitfall early on where I somehow mirrored the wrong side, and ended up with the wrong face orientation AND a ngon. One pro tip I learned in one of Andrew's tutorials though is to make a copy and move to a new collection and hide it--- so that when I did run into this trouble I didn't have to start all over, I mirrored properly and I sorted it out. I like that I could do this tutorial and end up something unique and my own, rather than the copy cat of the teacher. Loving you're channel during quarantine! Thanks.

For those looking on how to add the background image in Blender 2.9, Just do Shift + A, select Image -> Background :)

[@seigeengine]

He literally goes step by step showing you everything. He's not telling you how to make an elephant. The elephant is just an example, so focusing too much on exactly what he's doing is the wrong approach, since you're supposed to do this with whatever animal (or even something else) you please.

thanks. glad its helping

[@RREDesigns]

Tip of the Day: It's always better to leave calculations to the software, so when you have a very low poly model and need something rounded there's a "to sphere" function inside Blender (Ctrl+Shif+S I think), that would work perfect for the legs and other rounded parts (living things are always rounded anyway), just select a ring and use it. Also, Ctrl+V and "smooth vertex" is quite useful when you get edges too sharp.

[@TheBcoolGuy]

Go into plugins and check the box for LoopTools. It's so much better. It allows you to make circles, curves, better bridges... Amazing. Just save your user preferences after you've selected it, and you're now equipped with something that ought to be in standard blender.

[@benjorrmin]

You can also use, "subdivide smooth" but they hotkey you mentioned might just be for subdividing the faces, too

[@sporkasaurus4563]

Low poly is an artstyle, granted he should have showed this option, but many games and animations use a stylistic low poly art style

[@Kholaslittlespot1]

Or you could start with a subdivision surface modifier and loop cut the crap out of it xD

Ok. Y didn't work. Thanks for the help!

[@lunatycho4644]

If your faces are already at the center, when you extrude, you are pulling away from the axis no matter which direction you extrude in. Deleting the selected faces would create an inverted mirror shape. You can select/delete the faces on the side closest to the axis to create the solid outside shape.

Press Shift + Ctrl + Alt + C

[@joeyquiet4020]

at around 2:55, when you are extruding the edges, imho, you should keep extruding until the mesh is detailed enough, then working on pulling the vertices, this way is much faster, and makes more sense.

[@grabbitt]

it's probably to do with the way it's mirrored. You object centre point is where the mirror is taken from. It might be worth looking that up.

[@Lizard_geek]

A good way to fix this is to cut your model in half exactly and delete the left or right half. But before you delete that half make sure your set the 3d cursor to the geometry of the mesh.hit shift+alt+ctrl+c and select orgin to geometry. Once a half is deleted hit shift+s and and select cursor to center. Then hit shift+s one more time and with your mesh selected in object mode select selection to cursor. This moves the half of your mesh directly into the center so that the

For low poly, is it okay to have triangles in the model?

it depends what you are using it for but generally it's not a major issue.

[@VyacheKan]

I see, thank you for your reply.

[@SriHarshaChilakapati]

Even with QUADS, modern GPUs do not support rendering QUADS, so when rendering most programs do triangulate them. It is however done by the programmer while loading the model, and is not the part of the artist.

[@moshersmusic]

If you're using your models in a real-time game engine, each of your quads are going to be rendered as 2 tris anyway. In fact, when modeling for game models, you might as well consider your tri count as your poly count.

It's not Blender's fault. Learn what you're doing. Don't do anything until you know what it is and why you'd want to do it. Learned what fucked up, why, and how to avoid it, and hopefully, undo it. Now, I'm a better modeller than you, but I was a novice not long ago, and this was clear as day for me. It'll click one day, so long as you keep at it, keep a good temprament, and stay sensible.

[@Zodiacman16]

I think it's fine for beginners, there's not much in this tutorial aside from a lot of extruding faces, grabbing vertices, and the occasional loop cut/knife tool. I think an important thing to note is not to follow everything he does step by step, if you want to do this with other animals you need to know the methods he's using and then use your own creativity to make your own animal. But, it would help to watch a tutorial on Blender itself so you understand the tools he's using, just so you don't get confused.

If by beginner you mean "someone who has just opened blender for the first time," no, it's not for them.

This process is good but not without it's flaws. I find the best way to be using a mirror modifier after creating the outline of the upper part of the animal with just edges and then extruding to make it the shape in other views a better way.

This was so helpful!! P.S. did anyone else notice the horrifying picture of the snake eating the elephant on his google image search? Cannot unsee.

Real fun to do. I follow the video sequence as it is shown on your website so i did not need to see the shortcuts on your screen because you already showed them in your previous lessons. But i can understand that if you did not see those earlier videos it is hard to follow without the on screen commands.

yes indeed :)

Absolutely awesome! I'll be sure to try this one day!

Great video. It would be awesome if you did one on texturing too.

Just moved from Maya to blender, saw a triangle, now I'm spooked...

Great tutorial! After watching some the beginner's tutorial from BlenderGuru, this was pretty simple. Thanks!
