Ducking hell you nailed it 🌞

Yo the man the myth the legend!

[@TheRocketRat]

How did you make the body look fuzzy/blurry in the final shot? Please and Thank you.

[@gordonbrinkmann]

Just one remark, I see this very often in tutorials: when parenting the emitter to the body, it is not necessary to use "Object (Keep Transform)", the regular "Object" parenting is sufficient. The "Keep Transform" option is only needed when you change the parent from one object to another, because if the child object is transformed by the first parent, these transformations will be reset when parenting to a new object - unless you choose "Keep Transform". But of course it does not really matter in your case, it's just that I notice this in many tutorials without any real reason for doing it... and sometimes you maybe want the child to be reset when switching parents.

I’m in the habit of doing it regardless because of accidents. The only time I don’t is like you said, when I need to reset anyway. Edit: sometimes my objects are like kids with split custody parents while im figuring things out

4:50 Would have been a great opportunity to highlight blenders new snap base control feature. It's taken some time for me to remember it's there and get used to using it, but it's so helpful. If people who are just getting started with blender are introduced to it, they will certainly have an advantage👍🏾

[@NikosTea]

Awesome, thank you! In the final scene, the characters' bodies have fuzzy, almost translucent edges to them. How was that done? 😄

[@nkanyisoinnocentkhwane3752]

No freaking way 😁 Gotta love a *Spirited Away* inspired Blender tutorial

[@FascinateFelix]

Nifty 🧐a lot of practical stuff, short and sweet.

[@OrignalFabMartha]

I always learn something new from your cute critter tutorials. Great tip about scaling the hair emitter object down a skootch!

[@TOAKSuriFox]

Yay! Character related videos 🎉

I love your tutorials. You were the reason I signed up to skillshare (even though I dont like their platform) Would you ever consider making those tutorials one off payments? Like on domestika or something?

[@HyJyncks]

Is there a second hair emitter to make them fuzzy like in your larger render?

[@joaquinesquivel85]

How did you make the body look blurry around the edges in the final shot? Thank you.

[@Bitbiscuit]

First!

[@niveketihw1897]

Also kinda reminds me of the game World of Goo.

I've learnt recently they're called susuwatari 😊

9:33 I did not know where to find physics tab 😂😂

[@sculptor.x]

if u check(the check box) the "advanced " and "regrow" in the particle system, the physics will appear

[@GulagRAgav]

BRUHHHH

[@TheRocketRat]

Having Trouble With: → If Body is Visible, it scales with the Hair Emitter instead of the emitter alone, FIXED: Turn off Proportional Editing → After selecting BOTH Body and Hair, then selecting Keep Transform, Hair moves out of place when moving the Body. If I only select Body, then Keep Transform, Hair moves along with Body correctly, FIXED: Turn off Proportional Editing, Parent to Object, not Object (Keep Transform) → When I added the Rock and tried to move it, it moves Body along with it, FIXED: Turn off Proportional Editing → Hair Shape wasn’t changing for me, FIXED: Render Tab > Curves > select Strip

[@bearbearhelper3720]

Thank you so much!

[@DailyPaily]

Now add skeleton !

[@kingboy-vh1kd]

my hair is so thin, and i cant make it thicker with "hair shape" 😞

[@pamhampton2588]

Can{t get the hair particles to be as thick as yours.. . . must be missing a step

[@Maddbox11235]

I was having the exact same issue. Are you in Rendered view or Material Preview? I couldn't get it to work at all in Material Preview, but it came out fine in Rendered View and in test renders. And if it's not appearing in renders, which engine are you using? I used Cycles, but since I couldn't get it in Material Preview I imagine Eevee would have some problems too.

[@pamhampton2588]

@@Maddbox11235 My computer can only manage CPU. Oh well, next computer I should upgrade I guess :)

[@pamhampton2588]

The answer: if using EEVEE go to Render Properties and under curves choose "Strip" instead of "Strand"
