If we keep gaslighting Bini to keep doing lethal company videos we will eventually have a high def lethal company mod.

[@CDZRDragon]

Yes

[@crezzyt]

I know thats not quite what you want, but the „HDLethalCompany“ mod is great

[@user-sx5xn6zc3t]

true

[@user-nq6wn4hm7s]

​​@@crezzytyeah. It also shows that developer of the Lethal Company sucks at optimizing games, which made him to drastically decrease the graphics quality (prob becuz he's a furry), which made him use low-res textures in pair with locking resolution at 560. At my pretty good PC with 1440p set and doubled LOD distance in HDLethalCompany it barely hits my Monitor's highest refresh rate (165 Hz) Which is really fucking surprising with the fact in mind that my PC can play most of the AAA games in max graphics quality normally

[@cyber4053]

@@user-nq6wn4hm7s Wow, a game developed by ONE GUY is poorly optimized, who would have guessed?

[@indeterminado7216]

It's surprising that you maintain so high quality in your videos, yet doesn't take months to publish them.

[@wsmoney]

talent 💯

[@Hadeks_Marow]

I gotta be real. I been using blender for 3D modeling for YEARS. . . and yet this video has taught me SOOOOO much on techniques I never even dreamed of. Like, I never took shrinkwrap seriously, rather just a way to make a ball take the shape of a cube. . . but using it as a means to retopologize. . . that's INSPIRED!!!!! So many awesome little tricks that can make my own works feel more professional. I do have one request tho, for future videos, can you link all the software you talk about in the video within the description? I find your work inspiring, so nudging people like me by making it even more convenient might be the extra kick to inspire us to go out and try the other software.

INIT I was thinking the same thing. So clean, subtle and unobtrusive. Calming and informative to watch.

I agree, I don't know a lot about 3d but I've always been interested in it but it's real tough, it helped me understand more

[@MadamLava094]

Adding the blinking lights for speaking with the crewmate model was a nice touch, btw. The helmets feel like one of the few pieces of tech the Company put a sliver of actual investment into

[@BillyBajaBlast]

Imagine a whole recreation of Lethal Company but with your models. I just ought to say I love your work and I’m quite jealous at how amazing and professional your editing is. Edit: note I’m not saying it would make the game better I’m just saying imagine lethal company with basically completely opposite graphics.

As someone who does both hard-surface and Freeform modeling for games, but is trying to learn characters this video is very well put together. The concept explanations for the leu person are spot on, but there’s also plenty of more intricate tips while still taking it on as an overarching summary. The biggest difference between this video and other character creation videos is that you’re able to maintain entertainment. The lethal company topic is great for this and so is the little animation at the end. I love it! Well done.

[@peteyuprapt]

That’s just an amazing model and video, didn’t expect it to be made in 10 days.

Dude your editing is so CRISP and the humor is right on point 😂😂😂 your work is actual work of gold 👌 i hope you continue to make videos and content on this channel i loved the sound,the voice over, the niche yet captivating information about 3d modeling. Even though it was basic information, it was entertaining to watch it in such a visual heavy way! New subscriber bro!

[@shayneattiago3326]

Oh man, i loved being able to see it move around with some animations! Would love to see a longer animation with the character models you created!

[@Krexon0]

Since you asked for it previously, a very good contender for another one of these videos would probably be V-1/2 from ULTRAKILL. Similar low-poly starting point with more than enough detail to go off with and create something fun. (And a similar boom in popularity since it got updated recently ;)) Would be extremely fun to see.

[@XplosivDS]

Yeeeah, any ULTRAKILL character would be great

[@codexmarsema9866]

Canon note: Sentries are the only ones seeing everything in high-def; the art-style from V1's (and other robots') lens is actually for faster enemy processing. So any realistic models of ULTRAKILL characters would be what Sentries might be seeing as they snipe V1 from across the room.

i watched your lethal company MC video and now this one. i've been working in blender since about 2017 trying to get as much knowledge as i can about character workflow and let me be real when i say this format does an EXCELLENT job at breaking down the program to program flow and gives me a solid basis. This is genuine edutainment, and i really appreciate your work!!

Wow, I've seen a few realistic recreations of the Bracken, but yours is easily the most faithful to the original, ESPECIALLY with the face/expression/eyes. Incredible work, and even though I don't sculpt or model, I found the lesson in the field quite entertaining thanks to your editing style and brief explanations!

[@darius__irl]

This channel is crazy underrated.. the editing, the voiceover, the soundeffects and your skill in modelling is insane

[@YuzumiNoya]

Personally loved the video, but a bit of a tone down on sound effects would make it perfect. I dont really need a notification sound whenever something on the screen changes, but that may very well be subjective.

[@maxatronanater7047]

Imagine if this guy an Doodly teamed up! UNLIMITED MODELING POTENTIAL. They both explain things in such a nice way an it makes me feel happy. Quickly loving this channel. Great stuff!

[@minxyayala]

I feel like you one of the few who can explain this topic without lossing me. Thank you

[@kittydemonoverkill]

Really like how it turned out! Wish I could get Substsnce Painter or Zbrush, as then the models I've been trying to make could look so much better! If you do decide to do another episode, I'd love to see one on either the Thumper or the Jester, since not only would there be chances to showcase other things of modelling(the gore of the Thumpers having to chew off their own legs when hatching from a leg, or the gorey tendrils that connect the Jester's skull head to the rest of it.) Or alternatively, the Coilheads, for a more in-depth explanation on modelling the humanoid forms. Or if you decide to do the Nutcracker, you could go even more in-depth on the texturing. For the Masked, you could detail how to do complex face shapes to mimic emotions whilst simultaneously having none For the Ghost Girl, you could go indepth on how to make clothing You could make an entire 3D modelling course out of just making Lethal Company monsters, lol

[@von...]

what's stopping you from getting Substance Painter or Zbrush? their price - or not having enough free time available to dedicate to integrating them in your modeling workflow atm? genuine question btw, bc I'd love to help out - but I can only help with one of the two potential reasons mentioned above.

[@kittydemonoverkill]

​@@von...​ I know you sent the comment 3 months ago, but I'm only seeing it now; it's mostly just that I can't afford them. Pretty much all my money goes towards food and housing right now, and whatever doesn't go towards that usually goes towards other things that are usually more important, like upkeep and stuff like that.

First, what an absolutely admirable ethic turning out a well-done top-requested model and editing a clean and thorough video in record time. Second, I really like that you appreciate the purpose of the original style when doing "high quality" remakes. I look forward to more, but don't burn yourself out! 👍

[@SebTheSamMarten]

Once again, absolutely blown away by the amount of detail you're able to put into something while keeping it pretty much true to form from something that's purposefully designed to look like 4th grade art class clay crafts. I especially liked the little side-walk there at the end to slip off scree. Gave me a good chuckle. Almost had the same vibe as a "Blatantly trying to sneak" scene from an older cartoon, like Tom & Jerry, or Scooby-Doo. Fantastic stuff. There's really no pressure to do it, but if you did end up making an HQ version of each of the models in the game, I'm sure somebody would be more than happy to do the maps in HQ as well, and with the blessings of LC's original dev we might see- if not a full-blown Unity HD recreation- at the very least a g-mod version of LC in the future, which would be pretty neat.

[@nickleslicka]

Amazing work again! The speed at which you got this out without losing any quality from the last video is very impressive.

I was under the impression that the Brackens leaves were to be taken more figuratively, like the Bracken would somewhat resemble a fern leaf rather than literally having them come out from the back.
