I Learned Blender in a Week

[@m.ddlek.d]

Love the result. Freakin' awesome. And this vid is inspiring as heck. Thanks for sharing your journey. I'm still a Blender noob and ran into the same problems - so if I humbly may for those who might run into the same area of problems: - When you were texture painting and it was showing up on the nose as well it's because the nose was (i think) a different object but shared the same material/image texuter as the body. You would've had to make a new image texture for the nose and then - When you're modelling with the mirror modifier you can 'apply' the modifier (and basically any modifier) which then makes it so that any changes you make afterwards won't be affected by the mirror modifier. - There's a Blender add-on called Rigify that comes with Blender and is free and it's an awesome way to 'rig' a character to post them for a scene. There's also Auto Rig Pro however it is a paid add-on.

[@ritchiart]

Imma PIN this succulent comment, thank you man!

[@m.ddlek.d]

@@ritchiart I'm honored 🙏

[@thevirtualworldofgaming3345]

You can also rig it yourself rather simply just using automatic weights if you look into it a bit. or paint your own weights so that the character doesn't deform in spots when you move certain bones

[@B5KDEV]

The other reason why the painting issue thing could had have happend is because you didn't UV Unwrap it! @@ritchiart

[@mcc2795]

​@@ritchiartYou still didnt learn armature and animation though

[@scottking8189]

The most skilled blender user would never even claim to learn everything in blender in their life, nvm a week, I’ve been using blender for 3 years now and have learnt so little of what there is. Best program give to people online for free

[@ritchiart]

It’s kinda when you learn more about something there is EVEN MORE TO LEARN😨

[@scottking8189]

@@ritchiart hahaha yes this, my comment sounded a bit snarky but I think it’s amazing that you devoted a week to this amazing program and I hope we’ve got another creator, you learnt the basics super quickly, I’ll definitely be subscribing to your channel to see what you do in the future. Keep up the amazing work

[@ritchiart]

[@StivensGameZone]

Is not that much about what or how much u learn on blender . Ismore how creative u are and find a way in blender to do it

[@ritchiart]

@@StivensGameZone honestly, the one that learns on his own pace and enjoys the process is far better than rushing the learning process. And also what you said with the creativity is also is true in my opinion.

[@sweetie_bs]

This add on is a must have for every blender user it’s called power save it’s free you basically enable it before starting a project and if blender crashes, it auto saves

[@mihailolazovic9236]

blender already autosaves every 2 mins

[@elcamsterino4798]

Hey there, that was fun. The reason for the paint going on the wrong places is due to the polygons sharing the same space on the UV map. An easy way to fix this is to go into edit mode select the whole mesh, press U then select Smart UV Unwrap. Hope you keep up your Blender journey, it's an awesome software

[@3dutch]

There are so manny problems easy to fix by using 1 or 2 commands on the keyboard. How do people keep all these in their mind hahah.

[@dummythicc8731]

How's it going?

[@openfolkuk]

I started blender last night, already half frustrated, combining it with game dev and sound engineering for it. But this has given me hope. I hope we hear some tutorials soon? :D

[@ritchiart]

Well take 1 step at a time. It very fun to learn everything at once, hehe. But creative projects are really fun! As for tutorials, I’m not a blender channel but I hope this video got you inspired atleast💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

​@ritchiart Can you please link me the video you saw on day one to make that awesome room? It taught you how to make walls and stuff and that's badass

[@dilayehutarekegn5885]

Bro that was a great work... i was going to begin learning 3d animation but watching some tutorials and works of some animators made me frustrated thinking that it will be hard.... but this video have encouraged me thank you so much

Bro I'm very humbled and thankful of this comment. This is what I wanted for people to fell. Goodluck on your journey! It's so easy to get overwhelmed but getting 1% better everyday is better than no progress :D

Never thought I'd see a Swedish Sanji trying to learn Blender but here we are haha! This was really entertaining to watch. Reminds me of my struggles when I started to learn 3D modeling, although to be fair, you are a lot better than I was in the beginning 😆I better step up my game... Anyways, great video! ❤

[@ritchiart]

Yoo it's so funny, alot of people see me as Sanji. Have never watched the Anime or the Netflix Live-Action but it funny xd. Thanks for the nice comment have a great day my G!

[@xX_SweetAngel_Xx]

You can apply modifiers so after you're done using mirror, it won't continue to break both sides

[@ritchiart]

My brain was impolding at that point but thanks💩

[@Urix55r]

​@@ritchiart your 3d characters look scary and cute at same time like pokemon

[@synthomuito]

when i saw you painting the doll manualy i tought "hes not texturing it before?" when you said you were going to apply the texture i was like "oh man thats sad..." lol nice work overall!!!!!!!

[@AarishDaMomo]

like i would expect such high quality videos from a professional yter with millions of subs keep it up bro

One day you'll be a master Blender'er . I'm also a beginner, learning blender from few months , i can feel how hard it is. But it's a fun when making your own idea into 3-D.

[@__fariznh]

Love this video. So inspiring. Especially this scene at 6:23

[@ritchiart]

Thanks G!

[@skateru922]

Truly thankful for sharing your experience in using blender and studied for only a week. I've been trying to learn it by myself, but I always feel unmotivated to do it. After seeing you able to learn and do it in just a week, I felt that I should be able to do it as well, as long as I commit myself to learning and doing it in a week productively. I hope I can be as good as you real soon 🙏

[@ritchiart]

You'll be miles ahead of me, I know it

[@chinguchimp1357]

Such a leap in just one week! Great final results! :D Oh and welcome to blender community everyone

[@user-tk1jj1cp9x4]

Haven't even watched the whole video yet, but as someone who has also been banging his head against the Blender concrete wall cheerfully for about two months now, deeply admire the spirit of this enterprise.

[@ritchiart]

Thank you, well it looked easy in the video but I had moments of real frustration with the program xd

[@user-tk1jj1cp9x4]

One thing I've found eases some frustration is just saving separate files very, very often so can revert when things inevitably go haywire on occasion.

[@Thomas-ko1nf]

[@ritchiart]

[@WickedlNl]

Good stuff man you motivated me to go back. I think I tried to learn blender 2 times and same as you once I got to something more complicated nd everything started falling apart id step away for too long and then I have to restart literally re-learning all the shortcuts from scratch. Third lucks a charm? XD

[@ritchiart]

It's with everything ma boi. Every program you learn, doesn't have to be blender we have to suck it up and learn the INTERFACE, it's the most hated part IMO haha. I hope you'll get into it soon! ;)

@@ritchiart Blender and computers are best for young people with a good memory and ability to figure out what to do with all those nodes.

As someone who uses Blender on a daily basis for my own work it is quite impressive what you accomplished in so little time. However one tip if you had to remake this would've been to use an animation rig i know its a weekly challenge but with a simple rig like what you were using blenders weight paint could make it easy to manipulate the two human characters in your last scene.
