Man that's some crazy fast improvement! This shows how much tutorial and guides can help put instead of just trying to figure out everything on your own. Really great stuff dude! :)

[@BranSculpts]

Haha I'd be lost in the weeds if not for all these youtube tutorials

[@gexenterthegecko252]

I’ve been self teaching myself for like 10 months now. i’m not a good teacher.

It's important that you actually follow along with the tutorials though for them to stick, not just spend the days watching all tutorials you can find without actually opening Blender.

[@BranSculpts]

haha thanks!

[@rebeccawoffard5225]

I'm not an expert on Blender, but I know for the making of Hotel Transylvania, which can be described as "a team of automobile experts were tasked with making a clown car" because of how complex the animation was to do, the animators were used to making 3d animations, but they brought in a cartoonist who had them all learn cartooning to make it more like a 3D cartoon with exaggerated expressions. Essentially, they had to switch out entirely new models whenever they wanted a really weird expression, since it was impossible to do them otherwise.

[@EmperorToast]

I think the 3D Phoenix Wright games use the same technique for exaggerated expressions. They don't completely have the same charm as the 2D games, but they are pretty darn close and I believe it saves the studio time in the long run.

[@MaxOfFewTrades]

The speed of progress you've made is frankly absurd. You have WAY too much power. That said, this is of course is all super amazing!

[@FTBR]

Hey mate! Whatta great explanation bout what you’ve been through this 3D learning process, I started my channel few months ago using illustrator and character animator to create my content it’s really basic yet but I do really enjoy doing it, I wish I could imigrate it to blender, but I’m not sure if I could handle the whole project by myself. My cartoon is in portuguese cause I’m from Brazil, There are 3 characters which the main one is my son, the second one is my cousin and the magic hat is me.

[@Mon_55]

The female polygon character is actually pretty cute! It seems like it can be used in a more simple, yet stylized video game. Also, thanks for leaving the links in the description. I'll be spending time learning how to use Blender as my Maya subscription expired and I wanted something free. I also like that you didn't like the weight painting xD I went to school for media arts & animation and weight painting is one of the processes we have to go through when rigging. Most of the students didn't like to rig, so most just graduated as an animator or an asset modeler. It takes patience and time. I think you did great :) Especially considering you learned this all in a month. I think if you wanted to create games you could. Even if it's a simple one with no story, it's possible. You can even make one with a simple objective and create obstacles to make getting to the object difficult

[@BranSculpts]

I haven't rigged a character in a while, but I'll be going into it with a different mindset next time. Now that I know that shape keys can do a lot of the heavy lifting, I won't be banging my head on the desk trying to figure out how to get things to deform perfectly with just weights :P

I think the fact you admitted to taking long on a short tutorial (Mars' specifically) was and is reassuring to those of us still struggling to get to the same level of comfort as you. And I'm grateful you shared your own roadmap of the tutorials and things you did to learn from your own trial-and-error. Thank you again (i've been on and off again with learning Blender since 2019)

[@BranSculpts]

that's kind of the wild thing about a lot of these tutorials isn't it? the short ones seems like they'd be easy but since the person in the video already knows what's up, they can just blast right through it. I'm usually rewatching tuts 8 or 9 times just try try and grasp whets even going on :P

[@DragonLore520]

A good tip for life is if you do something 10,000+ other people do that same exact thing. Its just how humans are we are all very alike in the way we act (of course there are outliers) Thats why things like the bystander effect exist, Humasn tend to do/react simular ways. If 1 person does something 100, 10000, 100000 other people in the world do that same thing. Id say its pretty much impossible to do something that no one else on the world does. Id bet money on it that atleast one other person in the world does something you think only you do.

[@topy706]

@@BranSculpts lol i often end up rewatching a particular section like 10 to 20 times because i just dont get how they do it before it clicks

[@Ahzafera]

I know you've already improved a lot, but that blocky model, despite all it's flaws, is actually amazing. Low poly models are some of my favorites. Maybe it's just nostalgic to me, but they are just great. Then you added cell shading to it! *chefs kiss*

[@BranSculpts]

haha thanks!

[@siresorb1419]

The simplest and most freeing advice I learned about animating in blender is never settle for one model. Rig a model for a specific moment, then make a different model with different topology specifically designed for that scenes purpose and so on, until you get your animation.

[@callmedisappointment7374]

So if i want a character to have expressive facial changes simmilar in like a cartoonish style i should rig multiple heads with different topologies for the character?

[@dovos8572]

@@callmedisappointment7374 you have a seperate head for each strong facial expression, so that you don't have to redo the expressions each time you need it. the animators for long movies have like 1-200 versions of one head saved in the end that they can use when they need it. but sure many versions come from having on a different hat/hairstyle or having wet/dirty verisons of the character. the goal is that you don't have to hand animate the head and just use a morph between two bone states that does the animation for you, so that you only have to do a cleanup sometimes when the morph doesn't work cleanly.

[@32BitJunkie]

Wait you're talking about pose libraries right, just recording different bone poses to help start scenes later? Because making 200 different meshes for different animations would be absurd. In fact I've never heard of multiple meshes per character in behind the scenes stuff (for the base body anyway).

[@dovos8572]

@@32BitJunkie yes and no. they have pose libraries for each model but you have to make new ones if they put on glasses or a hat or different clothes. the bones might be the same or similar but the waight painting (how the bones affect the body) has to be redone every time on the part where the mesh changes. but yea looking back at my comment, i might have worded it a bit unlucky and wrong.

[@siresorb1419]

@@32BitJunkie your model is a tool used to capture an idea. Not one tool can do it all, and shouldn't have to. You can do it with one model, but it's easier to just focus your topology on one action per scene, then retopologies on a new layer for the next scene. It makes things look cleaner and saves space.

[@El_Sumar]

You improved super fast dude. A lot of people I know are trying to lern 3D full time for nearly 2 years now and are wayyy behind you. Keep going!!

Everyone else’s already said it but for a month the progress is insane it’s amazing!! But you are so so awesome for explaining your journey and process. I’ve been wanting to get into 3D art/Blender but never knew where to start, so tySM for giving us your own process and resources you used! :^)

[@BranSculpts]

NP! I've always read that Blenderguru's donut is where everyone should start, but I thought I'd find something focused more on character modeling to start out with. Besides that, the secret is to watch a lot of videos. Even when your not on your computer, just watching the videos on what you want to do from your phone while your out and about.

You will become a master at following them. Following tutorials at first, but then making your own stuff and having tutorials just as reference in case you need it, is how they work best. Fantastic progress!

[@Fi_Sci_]

Blender was quite intimidating at first for me. Didn’t do the donut tutorial and skipped right into character modeling, followed tutorials similar to the ones showcased in this video like Evesculpts. I’m Working on an Armored Sci-fi soldier. He has a helmet which makes the modeling process less difficult since I’m not focusing on human faces currently. The body itself was difficult, but a tutorial pointed me towards a base mesh on CGTrader which had the ideal proportions, so that solved the issue and made my Original character’s anatomy more pleasant to look at. Blender is a lot of fun after you get through the basics, and once I make some more additions I’ll try rigging and animating it.

[@creativeleapart]

[@satsukitheanimelover]

WOW! HONESTLY! THIS IS SO IMPRESSIVE!! Because when I first started learning using Blender, it took me multiple classes for me to finally understand how to make basic shapes and basic animation. But there are still so many difficulties other than knowing how to use Blender from my lowkey scuffed class….. I honestly don’t think you would read everything below, but the top is basically what happened and how I feel about Blender and my Animation class….. It was so hard for me because we usually need to submit our works every class, and some works would need two classes to make…. It was a disaster, since I don’t have access to Blender at that time, and so it’s really hard for me to even get one work done- finished- and turned in. And finally later on about two semester after, I finally knows how to use Blender at home, so I have to down load the file of my Blender work at school BEFORE THE CLASS ENDS……. And then surprisingly it worked for a bit, and then the disaster came…..My mom’s laptop charger is not working….it was already broken because of my little sister that broke it….and I have to endure the sadness and just fix the battery charger. So ya…..at least I passed my Animation II class with a very low score…and I KNOW that I can do so much better if the classes and the Blender download+google file uploading things aren’t to scuffed….I was honestly so pissed about why everything in our school and in the CCSD system is so bad…it could’ve been so much better if a group of people REALLY dedicated their work on making the Blender usage and file sharing better……

This is awesome, I've recently starting learning 3d modeling myself just cause I'm interested in making model content games or whatever.

BUT, this video is super inspirational to me in that regard. your perseverance to keep at your builds even when you’ve said you’ve stayed up to a week on a tutorial is so freeing. it lets me know that it’s not just me that’s slow in the beginning and that taking your time doesn’t hinder your progress, considering how much you did in so little time. i also just frankly love your video style of just sitting down and reciting your progress and just flat out saying where you struggled and showcasing all the tutorials you went through and such. i’m definitely going to come back to this video in a couple months when i get a pc (instead of working with my laptop at 12 fps and crashing every hour ). i don’t usually write comments but you’ve really helped me. keep up the great work!

[@jilliancrawford7577]

Thank you so much for sharing the tutorials that worked best for you! It saves from so much headache! This video gave me inspiration to give blender a try a long time ago. I couldn't get the shape to be smooth or detailed at all no matter what I tried or what tutorial I followed, kind of like what you went through with the model at 3:22ish. The frustration and confusion of why I couldn't get anything but massive polygons regardless of efforts eventually caused burnout, but I want to give it another try. Maybe I'm not smart enough for Blender, but I still want to try again.

@@BranSculpts You can start with either, but they both sort of go hand in hand as each will help you problem solve for the other. Two sides of the same coin, as it were.

I just want you to know... if you find any face rigging techniques(especially cartoony expressiony style), please share with us. Because it's scarce to see those kinds of tutorials on youtube, really scarce. And I also have to say, you made some good progress, especially with that sculpting.

[@BranSculpts]

Thanks! I haven't tried it yet, but I'm thinking if we use the regular rigify face rig in combination with a couple of lattice modifiers, we should be able to get exaggerated expressions. I'll have to do some testing

[@the_pointpusher]

Slow Clap. Nice work and thanks for showing your improvement over time and calling out tutorials. Seeing how far you've come since this video is great. Instant sub.

[@BranSculpts]

Who dat? She kinda...

[@punwind7039]

Thank you so much for sharing your journey. Super inspiring

[@BranSculpts]

I think it's nice to let people see that it all starts from somewhere and not every model comes out looking as perfect as you thought it would.

[@tashadfowler3465]

love your work. don't stop.

[@BranSculpts]

Thanks! I'll do my best!

[@shadowsketch926]

crazy impressive stuff, i never landed on your channel but holy shit man, i'm glad this video managed to slip into my recommended

[@yurihime9739]

This was so inspiring! Thank you for sharing everything, it's funny because I also chose to start learning blender today due to feeling burnt out on drawing... I find myself really resonating with this and I'm excited to get to work!

[@filipemecenas]

Thanks my friend !!! Super cool know about your jorney into blender !!! I Will check the tutorials you recomended thanks

[@turtlelearns3d]

Oh man, I feel really inspired by your progress. I've been slowly learning blender since my school account for Maya ran out but learning the differences has been painful. I really appreciate you laying out the videos that helped you!!! Im going to try these too. Your renders look great by the way and also, I looove your 2D art!

[@BranSculpts]

Thanks! Hope those videos help. There's so much information on blender out there, you can find a tutorial on just about anything you want to do in it!

[@pomeroytv895]

What a great video to watch! I just started my journey in blender about two days ago and I feel like I’m making great improvement so just seeing the improvements that you made gives me hope lol hope you’re still doing great

[@BranSculpts]

Good to hear! Keep at it and have fun!

[@Viesoc]

[@cletusmandeletusman2328]

Oh my goodness gracious that is the coolest thing i have ever seen this month i need to get my ass into blender to catch up on what im missing out on!

[@wavewatcher_]

Amazing, outstanding, useful, super well-put video! You have the video I was looking for! As someone that’s looking for a way to learn blender, going through your steps and the tutorials you’ve used along the way, everything you did here was extremely helpful! Can’t thank you enough! If you ever try something new, I’d like to see a video like this again!

[@BranSculpts]

Thanks man, glad it helped!

[@Anomaliayt]

Amazing work man! Interesting to hear your process. Seems like you’ve made some insane headway in such short time.

[@michon96]

I needed this. I learned blender as a hobby but I am terrified of making any character because of the complexities that came along with it. I love how you showed how each one turned out and how it wasn't perfect. This gave me a bit of courage to try at least

[@BranSculpts]

Give it a shot, man! There's a ton of different workflows you can take to get to a finished piece

That was an encouragement in my life, thanks Brandon!

[@BranSculpts]

Yw!

[@barrington5438]

Good to see an artist finding passion in something other than just pen to tablet art. Makes me wanna try out it out. I had a sculpting class a LONG time ago, and now I’m a freelance digital artist. So some 3D art might be an interesting skill to hone

[@kevanbalmer9048]

Amazing! Thanks for all the explanation and congratulations!

[@BranSculpts]

thanks you!

[@MFBEY_]

Thank you so much for the video. It lessens the mental stress of going at 3d modeling characters. Your speed at picking up blender shows that skill + talent + drive really does matter.

[@BranSculpts]

I think it's mostly time. If you throw enough time at anything you can start to understand it. I got reeeaaall sleepy that month :P
