Model a Simple Robot Character - Blender 3D Character Course

[@annameikeing]

For Googly Eye part: Go to edit mode, press H to hide the outer layer, L to select the inner middle circle, then duplicate (shift + D) and scale, G to position forward. Repeat for second white circle. For colour: L to select, then assign Google-Eye-Base white & Google-Eye-Pupil black materials to the appropriate layers in the inner part of the eye. After this press Alt + H to show the outer layer again. L to select outer layer to assign the Google-Eye-Plastic material to the outer layer. For transparency, select Google-Eye-Plastic in material properties > settings > blend mode > alpha blend. Go to Shading and in Principled BSDF, change Alpha to desired transparency e.g. 0.5 For Asset Library set up: Edit > Preferences > File Paths > Asset Libaries and choose name and path as desired. Also note the extrusion (for the inside of the box) needs to be done before applying the solidify modifiers (or you can check the checkbox that says 'rim only' for the solidify modifier for the body/box.)

[@rutababelyte7790]

Amazing! Thank you! I could not find how to make outer layer transperant. It turns out it is transperant if I look in render preview instead of material preview.

[@mustafasaidhelal99]

Thank you so much!

[@dezcooking]

For anyone stuck at "... select the body... " @ the 5min mark. Select a vertex on the mesh that is the body and press 'L' on the keyboard (Blender 3.4.1) If someone has already commented this, now there're two of us ✌

[@garymarkham5179]

Your unique style comes out in the box robot character, great texture!! Love it!

[@otherworlds9677]

Seems like the solidify modifier is screwing with the mesh when you extrude to make the box sink in from the top. Leaves faces from the revers side of the box. If you delete those faces you get a weird edge left over.

[@bieneinderstadt4882]

I think he did it out of order. Even though he said to apply all modifiers before that step, look close and you'll see he did the extrude step *before* applying solidify and bevel.

[@otherworlds9677]

@@bieneinderstadt4882 Yea, think you are right.

[@annameikeing]

I had this problem with extruding too! I think an alternative solution is to tick the 'only rim' checkbox in the solidify modifier for the body/box so there are no faces on the reverse side of the box.

[@Dantti]

Great! I can highly recommend people to sketch first using grease pencil, it helps in so many ways since you can make a 3D drawing easily 🥰

[@TechWampus]

Maybe you could make a video on how to make the reference sketch with the grease pencil, that would be interesting!

[@randomvideos6385]

hello, can you explain how to add highlight to the eyes ?

[@sparcuhms]

SAME problem im having to did you get a fix??

[@hunk321100]

Shotty! Huge fan of your vids, just one thing I'd like to recommend, perhaps you alright know about it, but each time I see a video you make and go on the "Create loop cut, select half of the mesh, delete, mirror modifier" it comes to my mind that I should mention Blender's Automirror addon, which makes the mirroring process faster and simpler when it comes to X-Axis mirroring.

[@severorodriguez8741]

What did you do at 8:10 to edit the pupil of the googly eye? I'm stuck at that. I sincerely think your tutorial would be way better if you took 3 seconds to explain somethings that maybe to you are "obvious", but to the people who are learning are not obvious at all.

[@severorodriguez8741]

Ok, the thing I didn't get was how to hide the "cornea" to get to edit the pupil. How long would it take to say "hit H to hide the cornea". It took me longer than this tutorial's duration to figure out something that you could've said in 5 seconds. Your tutorials are pretty good, but just little things like that really make following along frustrating and discontinuous.

[@natepeters8508]

seriously it's kind of ridiculous

[@AlvaroDevLabs]

I'm strugling with eye step how it grabs the iris? 8:11

[@SouthernShotty]

Press L over the object in edit mode

[@thebenwieman]

I think he did the Press L over the object to select the cornea, hid the cornea (H), then did the Press L over the iris/pupil to select that part. Alt-H should reveal hidden objects when done.

[@honeyspringsbw7852]

@@SouthernShotty how do you un-hide the cornea?

[@otherworlds9677]

Yea, this part with the eye is a complete pain in the butt.

[@AmroArida]

Amazing character design!

[@heavycodes7241]

Character may have a bit more faces, overall it's pretty good , It is looking like a Minecraft mob

[@AnnaGlin]

how do you make the Grease Pencil sketch show up in front of the geometry? edit: found it I think: under Object Properties > Viewport Display > in front

[@EntikaiCG]

Man, this series is so good. Amazing info shared, thank you!

[@frozenflamegaby]

Thanks for the tutorial, but it was hard to follow along because of how fast it was and the few difficult sections that needed explaining in the many comments. Without those comments pointing out the difficult sections and the hotkeys on screen being used (for half the video) I would be completely stuck. Also the sample pack's eye is comes out misaligned in every axis, I don't know how you just spawned it perfectly.

[@denniss.3907]

hey thanks for the tutorial, helps me a lot and i love the result. i have a question. from other tutorials i learned not to overlap meshes if i want to animate them or use them in games. did you remesh the model? or is it not true that its important not to overlap? arms, eyes, and legs are overlapping right? sorry if its a dumb question. hope you can help me out of my confusion

[@N6_mity]

Alr gonna learn blender from a channel I looked up to when i was not having blender on me

[@ShizzleTech]

I love his lil' face

[@NayLinHtaik]

You always make the cutiest charactes ever. I love it❤. Thank you so much for braking it down as well :)

[@punchbug]

modeling, texturing, rigging, animating... but what about set up? how did you get the grease pencil objects separated? how did you set them up perfectly for modeling? I must just be too new for this video tutorial?

[@igwerwggqrgrghqh1183]

My eye and box have a purple hue when I render, how come your box has a white tone and the eye doesn't have a purple hue?

[@igwerwggqrgrghqh1183]

I found out it was the backround lighting and you can just download some new ones off the internet.

[@nickmuffin1722]

You're awesome man. 💙💙💙

[@BeltaneDyne]

Everything looks purple in your starter project file, even newly added cubes. I copied carbobot to a new file and it's corrected, so there's something missing on the file that's causing the issue. I don't know enough to solve it myself though.

[@gabisaintro]

Great, may your life be blessed. And lots of luck

[@cg.man_aka_kevin]

This is free course... 👌👌👌 You really seem to be able to make a cute 3D cartoon and realistic in America... :)

[@manoj7575]

love from india, love your content

[@AlvaroDevLabs]

Hey Shotty, love your videos, they have helped me a lot. I have a question regarding character creation, I see you join all the meshes together before rigging, what are the best practices to keep a non destructive model with cloth, accessories etc organized? I guess there is no wrong answer, some people join all the meshes, other keep them in a collection and separate arms, body head etc but I would love to hear your recommendations. Cheers mate, keep the good work.

[@issac7787]

This is very helpful.

[@robertratha2639]

how did you make the cardboard texure

[@obmeotoff]

I downloaded the file but there are no assemblies on asset browser ((( where to get them? please tell me!

[@lorenzobianco2326]

Hi guys, I'm having a èroblem. My eye doesn't seem to appear black and white in rendering mode, only grey. How can i solve it?

[@BOBYBOX]

Thx for your great tutorial🙏🙏🙏. I managed to make my own version of it in blender and im making youtube videos by animating it😊. Ofcourse my animation suck but im trying to make it better. Again tnx for your wonderful course and amazing content

[@gremji5095]

im stuck in the materials pack part, i downloaded but it opens as a .blend file instead of like.. installing i guess, how do i save the assets? i cant figure it out

[@gremji5095]

not sure how but i fixed it haha

[@SouthernShotty]

It's an asset pack for asset browser. I have an installation video on product page.

[@МихаилБадаев-э5ф]

Well began is half of done.) 👍

[@FaceImplosion]

I must protect the box, he is so cute 😆

[@Michal.mikhael]

This character looks like Edurardo from Foster's home for imaginary friends

[@bieneinderstadt4882]

When I started deleting faces something went wrong. Apparently my head and jaw were getting duplicated over and over without me noticing and there was tons of redundant geometry that had to be deleted. Any idea how that happened? Is there a way to check for that? Is there an easy way to fix it?

[@bieneinderstadt4882]

Duplicating in OBJECT mode duplicates into new objects. Duplicating in EDIT will leave duplicates in the same object. To sort out your mess, select a face, edge or vert and L to select LINKED then P to move to separate object.

[@yaw_cg_md]

Shotty always looks high

[@HASSENIDDER]

that moment when u think u'r not improving then u stop the video at character Ref and timer is 1:00 u copy only the square where the character is drag & drop alt+R Alt+G and the line is dead centre.... with Z Axis...

didn't realize till the end, hitting control j joins the geometry together. I have to start all over because of these outdated controls. Edit, didn't realize the problem was resolved later.

[@Syltho3D]

It's a very bad tutorial. If you show something to people and don't tell them what it is and how it's done, you'll be making a video of yourself.

[@DoofsVRshorts]

This is not for complete beginners

[@DoofsVRshorts]

It never said for beginners

[@DoofsVRshorts]

But it should not have included the paid asset pack

[@ben_angel]

wow, this really isn't for beginners is it. You literally explain nothing! 😂

I clicked because of simple. 😊 But I'll watch it anyway.

[@lilgal9346]

Yeah I haven't tried doing it yet but you do need to be a little familiar with Blender's interface and some shortcuts to follow along, not much tho

[@sulek23]

Good start, but terrible explanation for the eyes and part around saving the mesh. Don't follow this tutorial if you don't want to end up in frustration!
