How I LEARNED Blender (How I Made My Character and my journey so far)

[@xlnyc77]

adding the cube after deleting the cube means you've reached true blender enlightenment

[@Vansh00100]

Hey blank! I hope you're reading this. You don't need to do weight painting for bending arms. Just go to the edit mode and add vertices/edges on the mesh from where you want it to bend. The more vertices/edges, the smoother the bend is gonna be. Takes not more than 2 minutes.

[@the12blank]

Thank you!

Hi

[@GomarThePotato]

i saw this vid a couple months back, and since like last year ive wanted to learn blender, this just made me want to learn it more! i dont have a laptop, but i think i might be able to convince my parents to get me one for video production/blender!

[@MarvinXOnline]

I've NEVER seen such an effective use of a teaser in ANY medium before this. I had already liked and subscribed, but NOW I need to know what happened lol. KUDOS

[@gleba2284]

Standard! Deleting cube and placing a cube even i do that

[@luma-jy8st]

REAL

[@ItsBaconney]

after watching this video 6 times i finaly gave it a try and i just not good at modeling and rigging. and even though u didnt really teach how to use blender this was still inspiring

[@LpsCandyx]

youre blowing up dude this is great!!!

[@madeyslime]

I just found out your channel and, as a beginner animator and artist, I find this amazing! You actually made me want to give a chance to learning blender

[@SecretDesignerXD]

AWESOME CAN'T WAIT FOR OH WAIT MY CAPS LOCK IS ON awesome can't wait for more story and such.

[@Rachelsfunvideos]

lol. I think we've all had the caps lock thing...

[@RakkiiGoober]

i know an alternative way to animate blank's face it is something called an Alpha channel. Alpha channels are like flat planes as a transparent mesh with a texture applied to the front. (it's an option if you want to change the facal look)

[@shreyabankapure]

This video is dope !!! It’s 2 am and I can’t sleep and I’m hooked on this video .. can’t seem to turn it off and go to bed , if you’re reading this fabulous storytelling ❤

[@alejandroaugustojua]

I just started using blender, and I binge watching animation videos on this. Have fun with your animation!

[@JBC120]

2:27 I felt the same way with Photoshop until I finally took a course and started from the absolute beginning and not trying to do the "sexy" stuff like blend/masks. start with the fundamental tools and keep learning and iterating. now any program doesn't scare me it might be overwhelming but I don't have the " I Can't " function enabled. so a long winded thanks for this video because I always looked at character modeling as something I can't tackle.

[@ShyheemUnleash]

i love how you just started a project and used KZbin and google to fill in the knowledge gap your a true self starter you'll do great things as a creator and entrepreneur

[@isfunart]

i want learn blender to, just follow up on video and understand it, same like gamedev.

[@keycreeper1210]

Looks really good I really hope your channel blows up

[@Zinkquer]

also when in the viewport if you press shift and ` you can move around easier

[@thenobody767]

You inspired me to pick up blender again... this time I am gonna give my best!! This video was amazing! you are gonna blow up soon just keep working hard you deserve a sub

[@Icie145]

man for a 412 subs (which i recently subbed) and with this amount of views, this video alone is just amazing, i would love to see more of this type of style in your content!

[@radiosis6681]

I just started learning today and coincidentally this video was in my recommendations! This video is so inspiring and motivating and I tried doing the character model tutorial too!! Love the video! I also subscribed to see your journey and I'm excited to see what's ahead! Also thank you :]

[@the12blank]

Aye I appreciate you! Good luck on your blender journey as well! Happy my video could inspire you!

[@realrealrealrealrealrealtealre]

​@@the12blankliteral underrated, literally.

[@SketchySquirrel]

People prefer suffering over triumph, but why not have both by learning Blender?

[@xbboyn9977]

yea man i am doing an animation too and holy moly its killing me , but what I know is when you get to know what you are doing it becomes "less frustrating" cuz you wont go around searching for answers and at the same time will take less time . and lastly congratulations on your character!

[@the12blank]

Yeah Animation will take a toll on you. It's a whole lot of problem solving at first. But once you get it down you got it! I also appreciate you!

[@rorobalo]

i tried learning blender for modeling some stuff i tried and tried but never give up i will watch the vid you recomended and i hope i will be good :)

[@kaostics-_-]

Amazing! We are also slowly learning Blender and we'll be adopting an animated cartoon character for our videos soon!

7:42 from experience weight painting is a nightmare oh I had no idea blender was on steam until now lol

[@funkyn1]

I feel your pain with weight painting but I learned recently when messing around in blender that you can weight paint by assigning vertex groups to points in edit mode it will be fully weighted but you can just use the blur tool in weight paint mode to smooth it out a bit hope that helps if you ever need to make a model and weight it again.

[@STICKOMEDIA]

I hope your channel blows up! Definitely subbing to support a fellow blender animator

[@DonutAnimations_official]

Just found this channel and already can't stop watching. you earned a new subscriber🎉 you are an amazing creator keep it up❤

[@Rallier1987]

I was just watching this and then saw that the animating software you were using was free, THANK YOU!!

[@Johnny-si3hc]

Bro retopology after sculpting is the thing that ripped me in pieces

[@Multi_Raro]

This video is of great quality, you can see the details in the character animation and everything, this is a great job, and I think if you keep it up you will grow your community more and more

[@Antonwalnuts]

Heya blank! I got a tip for ya! If you make the outline into a emission modifier it’ll not react to light! Which makes it look more clean IMO although you may not think the same. Btw great video!

[@omarbouazza2005]

BROOOOOOOO THIS IS SO GOOD PLEASE KEEP GOING

[@the12blank]

That's the plan! I'm happy you enjoy the video :)

[@caterpee]

this is so relateable. i havent tried rigging or weight painting yet, but I've been intimidated enough by uv wrapping and topology to really finish a rig and have just been making simple character models

[@23hundred]

Liked and subscribed instantly 😩😩😩😩💪💪💪

[@carsiccl]

Heya, thanks for inspiring me to install Blender! I've been trying to teach myself a bunch of different aspects for 2 days, and thanks to your recommendations I have gotten pretty good at it!

[@Coldfront15]

Learned how to mod for games. Started making my own models. Now I have a job after a year of doing it. It's so much fun.

You are very underrated, love ur vids!

[@XanTheDrifter]

i have used blender before but just now i decided to make a new rig for my avater!

[@IrenDoesAnimations]

As a 3d modeler, I relate to some parts of how you started. But either way, you have made a nice model! Good work dude

[@animacion_jm]

Wow

[@KatMightBeHere]

You're so underrated, the video was awesome!

[@shibafoxanimation]

I used that same tutorial by Pixxo 3D and somehow had too many vertices that were not meant to be there and wasn't able to fix it, even with Ctrl + Z. I am trying to get back into blender by watching this.

[@notbabybubba]

Wow, this… THIS MADE ME WANT TO LEARN BLENDER! Thank you Blank!

[@the12blank]

Have fun! Good luck!

[@notbabybubba]

@@the12blankthanks! i really needed it 😅

[@GarviHere]

Im also trying to create my own characters and animations on and off for around 2 years but i felt alone but this made me reassured that im not alone! I recommend to use auto rigging alternatives like mixamo or accurig its super easy!

[@ahamednihaal1141]

good job bro, appreciate it good luck for ur bleder journey in the future 😀

[@zeisure9554]

Ah, a legend in the making. Subbed!

[@WinterEcho]

Luved your video :D as someone that is currently trying to learn blender (although it's mostly just the grease pencil part) this was very nice to see~ thank you & keep up the great content! ^^

[@noontimedreamer]

Ooooh this is great! Could you also share how you incorporate your blender character into your videos too? I've been trying to figure that one out for myself too...

[@the12blank]

Yes I'll be doing a tutorial series in the future and I'll go over everything that goes into my videos!

[@j4ked]

For a beginner, I think that this is completely awesome

[@Arovist]

your style is so good :D

[@Sammy3D]

these is amazing but as a person who loves animation i have some tips for you and by some i mean only 1 if you are going for a cartoony cel-shaded look the sets should also be cel-shaded for consistency

[@GioMaXV]

a solution to skip some of the weight painting is good topology: makes blender's automatic wheights almost perfect

[@LpsCandyx]

The quality of this video is amazing

[@page550]

this is my best video i ever watched

[@Actimel_Addict74]

I also used pixxo 3d's tutorial i managed to make a character i even rigged my character!(and also i thought your content was great so i subbed)

[@yxsh10]

Awesome Journey!

[@nubli333]

nice 1am recommendation KZbin gave me XD, nice video

[@fourestroblox]

this is one of the most underrated videos I've seen in a long time! it reminds me of irrational mango or pinoprime's animations! I recently started my blender journey (though in game dev, not animations) so I had a lot of fun watching this. I can't wait to see the future stuff you upload! keep up the great work :D

[@NaCubical]

[@Tails_and_Luigi101]

Your channel is very underrated!

[@Unknown-jm9ix]

I guess I was the same as you. I would open up Blender and give up 15 minutes later lol and every time i would look up tutorials i would skip over that tutorial that helped you a lot because I thought I could find a better one. I guess I should try the ones I dont like then

[@Star_squirrel]

I love using blender and making videos

[@rajendrameena150]

Exactly happening with me, opening blender making some random stuff and close in 10 min. I am switching from 3ds max, blender is very fast and beat max in every aspect when you want to make a project from scratch but as all available models, shaders and tutorials are from 3ds max especially for archviz so it is a very hard switch, trying for 2 years.

[@deus8133]

Skipped directly to 3 minutes, got told that you love me. Atleast take me out for dinner first, subscribed.

[@Hi-HK]

It's a great idea to make your character in 3D, I'm inspired by you. Thank you for making this video ❤

[@the12blank]

I'm happy to hear that. It warms my heart. Make something great with that inspiration! :)

[@gleboid]

nice

[@paxton_]

thank you for the advice

[@TheAgentKnight]

I've been learning Blender for a year now, and man, it's been a journey of mixed emotions, lol. Currently, I'm learning character animation, and it's frustrating, but I can definitely master it with alot of practice! It just takes time. Have you used the NLA editor in Blender? Awesome vid too, SUBBED!!

[@themanlol5002]

This is a very good video!

[@themanlol5002]

Hope this channel gets more subs!

[@EverythingsBrent]

U need more recognition bro

[@4everaero]

Brooo totally relate to hitfilm. Every single time I try to do simple movements/ animations I felt like offing myself 😂😂

[@imprintafter]

for me its easier to parent to empty groups and then in EDIT mode just select and assign the weight manually, you could also just parent with automatic weights like most people do and then fix them in EDIT mode

[@the12blank]

I hear you, next time I need to tackle weight painting I'll give that a try! Thank you!

[@rajabwali3373]

"Something I had full access to, but never gave much time" This is literally me right now! I've using blender for around 4 years now. That sounds like a lot but if I count the time I've procrastinated, I doubt I've even spend 24 hours if I combine my work time. I've started with a character and I think that was my mistake. I've always gave up midway.

[@1personithink]

Glad you are having fun! NOW USE CYCLES AND WAIT 10 YEARS FOR AN ANIMATION!!!

[@GlitchCableYt]

Nice Vid! Just Sayin, If U Ever Need Help In Blender, I've Been Doing It For Multiple Years And Know A Lot Of It

[@brandonpolanco7781]

Wow 🤩

[@JeyJey029]

opening up blender without watch a video and not having any knowledge will make it look really hard because its all shortcuts and without knowing any of the shortcuts it would seem impossible to learn... and i highly suggest you to get addons that will make it easier for UV unwrapping and other stuff

[@SophiaWoessner]

YOU CAN EXPORT UV MAPS????? WHAT Edit: You've got me modeling my pfp lol, love the vid

[@Liberator-vl4zm]

Learn blender they said... it'll be "Fun" they said.
