"All right today I feel like making a movie." 5 mins later. "Done."

[@Mocorn]

That's the weird trick here. These videos takes much more than five minutes to make. Consider the time between uploads. Be not fooled, this man does gritty work to make it seem effortless.

[@IanHubert2]

@@Mocorn Hahaha, yeah- these more complex tuts definitely take longer than a few minutes to make. That said, there's usually a degree of effort that you can put in, too- like, you COULD just slap the texture onto some cubes and call it done in 2 minutes, and it'd get the point across, but IMO it's a lot more rewarding to take a while and make sure everything's projecting nicely.

[@deepL0]

Haha

[@JustSomeRandomIdiot]

"So most complex stuff can be abstracted if you get the form and texture anywhere close to right" These words seriously changed how I work as a 3D artist, when I first heard them in 2019, it really made me stop and rethink how I work in Blender, and ever since I've been able to achieve much better results, in a fraction of the time. Really is a powerful idea once you realise you don't have to recreate everything to an infinite level of detail to make it look good, you just gotta make it 'look right'. Like a painting, you can make something look like a leaf with a single brush stroke if you get the shape and colour right, you don't have to mechanically recreate everything bit by bit.

[@NalonB]

Ian Hubert realizes all he builds is Dystopian. Character Development.

[@jjjosh5354]

I love your tutorials, while as a beginner they are not always the easiest to follow, they force me to play around with settings and encourage individuality. This way I actually learn and discover things instead of copying a long tutorial exactly.

i dropped blender countless times because i found it way too hard but now i slowly learn a lot of aspects at once doing trial and error type methods. helped me more to google individual problems rather than watching tutorials. ive never learned blender so fast and now i even actually know what you are talking about in your videos. 2 months ago i would have never thought i would ever come even close to learning blender but you completely inspired me and showed me that you dont have to be a god at blender to create great art! thanks man!

[@julianaraneta5416]

[@julianaraneta5416]

meh. waste of precious time. nobody would even give a damn about those micro details when they'd show it out to the audience. bruh i mean who cares if the stone cracks you make are heavily detailed? no audience will stick their face too close to the screen just to admire those "crack details". have you ever seen one person in the cinema approach the big screen too close and pop their eye out just to see the unoticable detail you made? have you ever seen a gamer stick his eye on the screen just to see the unoticable detail you made? im complete beginner too and but i understand hubert more. hubert aims for simplicity while guru aims for details no audience gives a damn about. he just wastin' the newbie blender user's time on unnecessary and unoticable details cuz he likes to do things manualy instead of making efficient beginner shortcuts and quick illusions like what hubert does.

[@julianaraneta5416]

oh, im not just talkin about the donut series here u runt. I'm talkin about EVERYTHING he does in blender wether it's a tutorial or not. i already kept telling you he puts unecessary deets on almost EVERY shit he did. Lol 10,000+ vertices is not very good for the PC even if it's a gaming one. it all don't look so convenient. everything he does is a waste of time. "An object that's supposed to take hime like 10 mins to model like a soda can or a stop sign takes him 2 days to finish cuz of unnecessary details". Lol bruh what a total loser.
