How to Model and Rig Kirby in Blender! | Intermediate Tutorials | Blender 2.9x

[@GabiN64]

Holy cow I just made my own Kirby! Good first model to start with and then progress from there. Skipping the toon shader stuff he almost looks like a 90s promotional Kirby.

[@CGSmoothie]

Nice!

[@wikia9278]

6:43 the animation is sooo cute

[@CGSmoothie]

Thanks 😄

[@utkucan3966]

It's so fun learning so much new stuff. I'm new to blender. Thank u

[@CGSmoothie]

No problem! Glad we're getting new people in the blender community!

[@AmberGSilly]

kirbys head/body doesnt rotate when pairing the bone to it, the rest of the body works

[@allenwinward8986]

That's pretty cool, I'll definitely use this!

[@CGSmoothie]

Thanks! Hope you enjoy using this model! If you use it, feel free to show it off in the showoff tab of the discord!

[@kaypathy]

THANK YOU SO MUCH I LEARNED ALOT❤

[@xZyvon]

Decent tutorial but in some parts you go quite fast / don't really mention any hotkeys you use for example around 3:10 looks like you even cut past which texture type you used

[@Overdrive-_-]

he said image texture

[@stoneypride5460]

How do you do the feet your to fast 1:10

[@redeyedMONSTER14]

I'm trying to figure out the same thing

[@lifux4161]

6:10 how do you select object and pose at the same time?

[@andrewmorrice9139]

1:50 Where's the armature option? Doesn't show up when I right click.

[@CGSmoothie]

I might have a different option because of the Rigify addon or one of the Extra Objects Add-ons, if that helps

[@takenfarzyt2430]

THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU!!!

[@wherearemymps]

hey thank you for this wonderful tutorial!!! I was wondering if this shader setup gonna work in cycle engine somehow? When I change it to cycle my kirby just turned into a pink glowing ball with no shadow

[@CGSmoothie]

It wouldn't, because of the way the rendering works in Cycles. Because of Ray casting, there isn't really a reason why you would want to use cycles instead of Eevee for this particular shader

[@Kashivok]

Bro makes it look so easy ☠

[@TheBrother34]

This is so very neat and cute! I love it

[@CGSmoothie]

Glad you liked!

[@koltenarcand7781]

at 1:20 how do you select multiple points at once and move them around

[@CGSmoothie]

Press shift to select multiple things at the same time 😁

[@vmirevi]

hey, at 1:08, which hotkey did you press to get half the sphere to smooth out ? Sorry i'm really new to blender

[@CGSmoothie]

Oh I just proportionally (press o) edited the bottom vertice upwards to flatten the foot, hope that helps!

[@vmirevi]

@@CGSmoothie my bad I meant what is the keybind to do so vertices act like that, I had propertionnal editing on

[@CGSmoothie]

G and z

[@vmirevi]

@@CGSmoothie thanks i managed to follow along really helpful tutorial mate

[@andrewmorrice9139]

@@vmirevi This is the bit I'm stuck at. I can highlight the object in the orange net, but can't get any further.

[@cyberpeacock7053]

This good stuff thanks!!

[@CGSmoothie]

Make sure to see the video of me putting this model to use in a game if you haven't already! kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6GunXZtbq2eatE

[@daeg8776]

Hello, where can I find the file to have the cimbination of colors?

[@poyobuny]

so so cute thank youuu:)

[@tekrrie4310]

when i go into render view, the toon map doesn't show up, only flat colors. i've added a spot light and camera as well as per your tutorial, and same thing. any help?

[@CGSmoothie]

Make sure your correct materials are applied and all your nodes are linked up, else I dont know what the problem could be

[@ar1_me0w]

its pretty handy the tutorial, but im having difficulties adding the toon shader. When I append it it doesn't work, it just makes my kirby black, idk what to do

[@popper6567]

1:10 how did you do that?

[@CGSmoothie]

Check the other comments with around that same timestamp and you'll see that I use O to turn on proportional editing and then just grab the vertex and move it like any other object!

[@Mosca1]

Having trouble rigging the hands and feet to the armature. im going into pose mode and parenting the bones but when I move the bone Kirbys hands/feet don't move

[@CGSmoothie]

Did you assign vertex groups

[@jakebon-1]

How do I move the foot part out using inverse square?

[@CGSmoothie]

Press O to turn on Proportional editing and then change the interpolation up top from linear or Smooth to Inverse Square

[@jakebon-1]

@@CGSmoothie How do I use that to then shape the foot part?

[@russelp9666]

Thanks man!!

[@CGSmoothie]

No problem!!!

[@Giddy_FXM]

Wow. So great a tutorial

[@CGSmoothie]

Aw, thanks! 😊

[@sebastiancase4173]

how do you pair the extremitie with the bone?

[@CGSmoothie]

Select the mesh first, then the individual bone and hit ctrl P and pair it to the bone

[@sillihaha]

when i added the shader the face is super light and i cant fix it help.

[@sillihaha]

nvn thx tho

[@CGSmoothie]

Was it a problem with your colorramp?

[@sillihaha]

@@CGSmoothie nevermind i fixed it thx tho

[@Xenonia]

Is there anyway you can share the rig? :D This is a little too advanced to follow for me, but I need a kirby rig for a personal project. I'd make sure to credit you :D Thank you!

[@CGSmoothie]

Yeah, I'm sure I could do that soon! I'll let you know when I get that up!

[@arthur-nx9go]

where is the Toon Shader video's link?

[@CGSmoothie]

[@__joshplays.]

how to use the inverse square

[@CGSmoothie]

If you press O, you'll see a button light up blue for proportional editing, next to that you can switch from linear or spherical or in this case inverse square interpolation.

[@tux314]

ok cool

[@pauser3495]

omg wheres the toon shader link?

[@CGSmoothie]

It's in the I on the top right

[@lol_boi_le_BG_intergalactique]

could you please SAY THE SHORTCUTS

[@CGSmoothie]

There's the waterfall in Yoshi Circuit, and the side shop in Coconut Mall!

[@lol_boi_le_BG_intergalactique]

@@CGSmoothie the blender shortcuts

[@CGSmoothie]

I'll try to be more specific in future Tutorials, this one was an "intermediate tutorial", meant for people with a decent understanding of the program

[@lol_boi_le_BG_intergalactique]

@@CGSmoothie Ok thanks for the response now i now and also i love this tutorial i have done this and kirby is so cool thanks!
