Let's MODEL and RIG a LAVA MONSTER in 10 MINUTES - ep 20 - Blender 2.82

This video will Premiere on 7th May at 19:00 CET, watch it at the same time as me and I'll be in the chat to answer questions and also just to have a nice chat in general.
Welcome to episode 20 (!!) of my 10 Minute Modeling Challenge series. In this episode, I attempt to model a low poly Lava Monster that I also aim to rig with a custom armature and leg IK within the 10 minutes. I'm including some bonus material, that's why the video is quite long (28 minutes) where I modify the monster into a stone monster and and ice monster. I also do a heavy monster-like walk cycle that hopefully suits the character look and feel.

Might have been said already, but you don't have to spam L, you can just keep it down and move your mouse to the meshes you want to select. It may make your selection a bit less precise but in your case I think it wouldhave worked no problem. Even better with X-Ray enabled I think.

why not make it more ABSTRACT??? afterall a lava monster is prettymich just shape shifting liquid . so why not do something with that idea ??? also the Only games whitch have seen use similar concept is "Creeper_World game series" so there's still a lot of unexplored ideas

[@cocainathaproduct4942]

pls never stop saying "E to extrude, S to scale" I love it, i started doing it too xD

"It's got no core.... *it's just hardcore*" My brother you have just earned yourself an official pardon for subjecting the default cube to all these deformation.

Finally someone who speed builds in real time. So tired of the speed builds being time-lapse. Can't learn anything quick from those.

[@sonario6489]

THANK YOU! Finally someone who says time lapse "tutorials are useless!

[@DonEarl]

The time lapse videos aren't meant for new users. They are meant for experienced users to see topology and workflow quickly without being told what key to press every step of the way. I love them. In a few years, step by step videos will drive you nuts and you'll watch mostly time lapse. These videos aren't really tutorials and are just fun to watch.

[@HalkerVeil]

@@DonEarl Play it at 2x speed then. It's a thing.

[@sonario6489]

[@redeye1267]

damn... i felt the exact same way lmao

[@garrettglass8854]

Im disabled with Muscular Dystrophy. I’m often frustrated at my limitations. I love to be creative when i feel good enough to do so. Blender is free so that’s good for me since i can’t work. I open blender and immediately recognize its power, i liken it to sitting in the captains chair of a jet and looking at the control panel. Yep this thing could take me far if only i knew anything. I am a slow learner but I’m watching and re-watching your videos and picking up things i can use. It’s been encouraging. Thanks. Romans 10:9

[@efflogz5216]

Imagine this guy grouping with a team for a Game Jam, they would make an awesome game in no time (new sub btw, great content!)

Not a tutorial lol, this is the best tutorial ever. Quickly show a finished product in a short amount of time with all the keyboard shortcuts as well. All tutorials should be like this.

You should make a T-shirt labeled "Default cube is love. Default cube is life." With a default cube image in it. Everyone would buy that, guaranteed.

[@scooter9376]

Love the live commentary while speed modeling. Gives people who are interested in getting into 3d design a glimpse into the thought process and the work it takes. I went to school for graphic design years ago, I love this stuff but I learned rather quick that I enjoyed it as a hobby rather then something I wanted to pursue a career in. A video like this must be intimidating to someone on day one in blender or any 3d design at that. Anyway, love the video!

[@knotnik]

I love the monsters, they look like they're dancing! Also, the term you should look for when looking for a place to sell your merch is "Print On Demand" which basically just means the company will print the merch and ship it to the customer as soon as they place an order, so you don't have to worry about any of it.

It's amazing how helpful it is to be able to see and hear some of the bindings for the modeling as it happens! Quite a few people just take the knowledge as a given as they zip on through their tutorials. Not to forget that some of them have custom bindings.

[@Imphenzia]

Happy to hear it's helpful. I decided not to make custom bindings so all the shortcuts would apply to everyone.

[@ChrischoBoardgaming]

I think, there are mainly two ways to react to the awe-inspiring level of proficiency displayed in this video: 1) Get a motivational kick from it to start learning more of Blender. Fast. 2) Throw a tantrum, whining "I'll never be as quick/good/awesome/... as this guy", proceeding to weep one's pillow wet. This would be the second video created by you I've tuned into. Both times I got the impression that I (Blender newbie) will learn a lot from your content and that I'd better turn off YT now to fire up Blender. The urge to start "blending" gets so strong that I hardly even finish m--- ;) Thanks a bunch for sharing!

[@Imphenzia]

You're welcome and thanks for your comment. I get about 98% of (1) feedback and 2% (2) feedback I think. I am glad it can help to inspire and for others to learn, I make the videos for the 98% that want to become better :)

Epic epic effort with this one. Really loved this one and it's given me other ideas too. The lava guy can have fluid sim lava falling out between the rocks onto the ground, the rock guy can have rock and sand particles falling out and Ice monster can have volumetric icy clouds coming out from him.... yeh so cool, I love these monsters :)

[@YouTubsel]

To cap everything that isn't filled immediately (if triangles are okay): 1. Select all Faces 2. Select menu > Select boundary loops 3. F to fill > Ctrl T to triangulate You're welcome :D In return I want to know how you get rid of the center faces when extruding with mirror modifier, please. :D

[@Imphenzia]

Hey, awesome to hear that!! Looking forward to it :)

[@JoeyCarlino]

Super cool technique this time! I was surprised to see you use cell fracture. For selecting small pieces, I like to go into wireframe and use the circle select tool, then hold down Ctrl + to expand the selection. Not necessarily better, just different.

Tip: if you assign a yellow emission material to the lava material, turn up the strength and enable bloom, it glows!
