Let's MODEL, RIG and ANIMATE a MECH in 10 MINUTES - ep 18

Hello and welcome to Episode 18 of the 10 Minute Modeling Challenge in Blender 2.82! This time around I attempt to model a MECH robot with a custom armature with inverse kinematics and creating an animation for it - all in the course of the usual 10 minutes!! Wish me luck =)

I use Blender 2.82 in this video - no other addons apart from screencast keys so you can see what I press.

Keep saying the commands. Nobody should be getting fed up of it.

[@sarumitai]

He should get shirts for the channel with that on the back: "E to Extrude, S to Scale"

[@jeetaghara_official]

thats the best thing you do...... Attracting newer people with simple commands....... looks like blender is easy as you say commands and make stuff

[@ilirbajri]

agreed, it actualy is helpful and makes it easier to understand the modeling method... great tutorials, actualy made me instal and start learning blender, pretty clear and concise, plus a great visual style... keept it up friend and thanx... @imphenzia #imphenzia

[@chunksie3851]

Yeah for real! Saying the commands really helps out. Helps me learn what he's actually doing.

[@mathew5387]

correction,"nobody will "

[@carrotman]

Honestly the E to extrude, s to scale thing is oddly relaxing. I like it.

[@Spooglecraft]

It's one of the more chill parts of using Blender, just "pulling" whatever you want to create out of a simple cube.

[@SuperCyborgKiller]

"E to extrude, S to scale" Omg, now I repeat it every day, like a song)

[@__Rizzler__]

I felt it when u typed there, such a relaxation

[@superwalnuts2855]

to be honest, I'd love to see this as an hour long episode. Don't get me wrong I know you'll get it done in 10 min but it would be nice to see you really sink your teeth into this one

[@dutchdykefinger]

i would love to see 1 hours split up into 40 minutes of which is like 4x10 minutes of say, world modeling/ character modeling/ lighting / animation and 20 minutes to make it a composition, if you lost any time in one of the former parts, you can use the time to make the best of what you came up with

[@pfeffermartin642]

yes i wish the same

[@trickstur5994]

@@dutchdykefinger yes please!

[@jakov1353]

You literally perfectly explained something CG Geek couldn't in half an hour. (And you also modeled and animated the mech)

[@europetruck5879]

cg geek is only geek

[@indresh86singh]

LoL

[@animationspace8550]

Cg geek goes as in depth as he can. Though I like this guy's speed.

[@appy8808]

CG Geek is good, although very confusing sometimes, but for in depth, I'd say Surfaced Studio is best (very detailed)

[@lucasvazquez428]

I literally take 3 hours to model, rig and slightly animate a cube, and you did it in 10 minutes hahaha you are amazing! Keep the episodes coming

[@Zaire82]

To be fair, he actually knows how to use Blender.

[@elitewolverine]

@@Zaire82 yea but really it was like 10 hotkeys, which when I started blender back in the just released as opensource days that is what it was. Speed modeling. One hand on mouse, one on keyboard. And go. I modeled hundred thousand poly models with panels and greebles with like 5 hotkeys. I love the new blender but there was something so satisfying about the old crude blender that no one took to serous. Now our blender is all grown up and I love it.

[@rellsw02]

This has to be one of my favorite 10 min model and animate videos. I loved the old school mech games.

[@ritankarsaha1982]

U give him any task in the world Imphenzia : "Just give me ten minutes"

[@firstnamelastname061]

I'd buy a t-shirt with "E to extrude S to scale" print.

[@dreamYTai]

Dude i never comment on youtube videos but yours are amazing, been a subscriber a while now, dont stop saying "E to extrude S to scale" its perfect

[@GerhardusScheltema]

Watching these videos is like reading knitting patterns, E, S, E, I, E, S, I Look it is a Mech. I, S, E, S, I, E, S, Look it is a Space ship! 😁But seriously, love these videos, I'm a big fan and cannot wait for the "E to extrude, S to Scale" t-shirt to come out.

Even the best blender users can't do that. It's probably next to impossible. And blender is going to crash.

Brilliant mate. I will be uploading my first tutorial in the next few weeks and I have learnt so much from you so thank you and never apologise for repeating the commands. It's what makes it stick!

[@gerhardusscheltema2583]

I really love 10 minute builds, it usually takes me about a hour to go through it. I like the format where you have a tips section at the end. Keep up the good work, you rock!

[@SunSailor]

Love the series. Amazing job within ten minutes and one can learn so much from it.

[@YeeiPlay]

I love you saying the commands and everything as you go, you are amazing brother

[@spiderqueen537]

That was breathtaking, also hearing you say the shortcuts and commands as you do it is actually amazingly helpful!

[@Spawnova]

I've only seen a handful of your videos but they are the only ones where I want to instantly hop on blender and start making new stuff with all the things I learn from these videos, calling out the shortcuts is also really helpful thanks a bunch!

[@prgmachin6721]

Without a doubt the most useful tutorial I've seen on this - a very specific area of 3D modelling that I was interested in and you explained it all in 10 minutes in real time. You've earned a sub :)

[@nationdemon]

Thank you very much for all those tutorials! they are great. I really like to watch you going through it at top speed. And I am not kidding, it is so great to watch and to learn it at this high pace. I´ve to stop at some points, as I miss some steps but when I try it I extrude and scale and Insect and extrude and move and scale and then I notice I´ve improved.

[@Tutterzoid]

Wow !!! You beat yourself at your own game :) To make a MECH robot with a custom armature with inverse kinematics and creating an animation for it .. DONE !!! in under 10 minutes .. with even some time to tweak the MECH robot ... AWESOME !!!

[@kordaling]

So many informations in a short period of time, and the sound quality/voice is good. Finaly a more than decent Blender channel, just found a gold mine !

lucky you....ive put 7 days and it still sucks(-_-).

[@amurizon]

As an artist (digital painter) who is just learning Blender now, I relate with the frustration. But one neat thing I experienced when learning how to paint digitally was that repetition, not quality, was key. As long as I could force myself not to refine each project too much, and just say "this looks like [insert favorite inappropriate word] but I accomplished my goal; now let's do it again", over time, it really paid off. My first digital painting in Photoshop took something like 30 hours, and over about 2 years, I got it down to 8-10 hours. Your mileage may vary, but I think it's universal that we all get better with practice. :)

[@imaginegalaxy146]

Imphenzia, I really have to thank so much for this tutorial! You helped me from "Extruding and Scaling" to Modelling a Mech with Armatures! I really thank you so much, Keep it up! :)

[@Tutterzoid]

Keep up with the commands. Us beginners that are watching this need the practice .. or we would not be here :)

I had a bad week but in the end i'm happy to watch a new video from you. Thanks for your passion and productivity. =)

[@blazejpopowicz1362]

This is simply fantastic!!! Thank You.

[@malcolmcolindixon]

Thanks for the tutorial, I eventually managed to rig and animate an AT-ST model I created by following this. Yes, you're fast, so I had to watch at slower speed and rewind many times but got there in the end. Now, I need to find out how to get this into Unity and get it moving around.

[@JibberJabberness]

These are great! Such a good practice to power through a 10min challenge too!

Mate this is incredibly educational. Thank you so much for making this!

[@DimitriMasson]

Thank you for your videos, You inspired me to participate in LD again this year. I have been trying blender after seeing your ten minute builds You made it sound simple enough so that I felt confident to make a game. Your texturing technique helped me a lot to create a low polygame as well. I added a trick of my own by mapping the left right UV position to encode some additionnal information ( using shader graph in unity, I either map it to the roughness or displacement to animate some bee wings ).
