If you want to use the palette style UV coloring method, I go through that in both of the above linked videos.
Additional info:
I've been modeling in Blender since about 2015 but more recently in the past couple of years. I've been making games and assets in Unity since 2011 and I'm currently working on a multiplayer RTS game that I'll be happy to announce later this year.
I use a Panasonic Lumix GH5 camera to record my videos with the Olympus 17mm F1.2 lens as well as the Laowa F2.0 7.5mm compact dreamer lens. Sometimes I also use a GoPro Hero 8, a Insta360 One X and a Sony rx100 mark vii. For audio I use a Rode NTG shotgun microphone connected to a RME Fireface UFX II sound card.
Thanks a lot for watching and sharing my videos :)

Imphenzia's next video: Imphenzia creates an entire Pixar film in 10 minutes!

[@deejaydemon3145]

lol hes gonna use that rubber chicken so much its gonna end up giving him nightmares

[@xmatias9]

using the extender to make a 3 days video xD

[@avatarecho4478]

If he did it would probably be better than Pixar movies-

[@jakehero4]

More like 40 minutes including the chicken xD

Imphenzia, you are the best man in the Blender Tutorial World, you comment all your movements and speak with audience, and it trully helps to understand the situation which is on the screen. Also, you speak avaliable, I mean I'm studying in 10th grade in Ukraine and English is my second or maybe even third language, my level is about B2, and I understand you without any subtitles or even translator. Summarize all the above I can say that people from different parts of the world can watch you and learn Blender easily, you help humanity from all over the world and must be proud of yourself. I wish you good luck and inspiration, thank you for all work you made for us ❤.

If things go a bit wonky with the animation of the geometry, "It's a stylistic choice!"

[@rawrrrz]

Thank you so much for this! I had asked about how you'd do this in chat a while back. Imphenzia delivers! Using your advice I had started to do it very similarly, but still picked up a lot of useful tricks to preserve and change the weight paints. Also helped me understand where sometimes design choices need to be made, like with the boots/thick pants. Should help me clean up what I've done and do better going forward. Will be looking forward to the tutorial!

[@skyroskus]

in your second set of 10 (first extension) , you still packed more info into 10 minutes than most videos give in 40. I always feel as if i pick up some workflow tips when watching :) great job as always dude ~

[@ArginLerit]

Imphenzia, you are a blessing to humankind. I've been learning a lot from you and your energy inspires me to create and work on my projects! 🔥🔥🔥

[@jarekshark1356]

[@mutatedart]

Excellent tutorial/examples! I've learned so much through your channel.

[@LeaN-qr6rl]

Started with Unity and Blender about a month ago and l quickly became a fan or your channel. Thanks for all the hardwork in transferring your knowledge man. Much appreciatted.

[@indianastilts]

Love your videos! Such great detail!

[@quikiki2684]

You should make a whole animated mini short film in blender in under 1 hour or something like that :) nothing too spectacular but something watchable!

[@ohidontknow25]

Agreed

[@xmatias9]

I love you bro. I dont even speak english at all but I can understand everything you say. You inspired me a lot! Thanks for all the great content

[@WaterShowsProd]

Amazing how much can be accomplished in just 10 minutes.

[@deathtonarwhals7001]

Thank you for this! It’s gonna help with the game I’m making for college

[@Buli0n]

This guy is the best! He gives you what you need! Not only helps you create your own assets and saves your money or nerves by not downloading someone’s else that you might not like but he also teaches you how to use them in your game!!!!

[@raphaelfagundez1617]

Thanks for all the good videos! Youre amazing.

[@LongestYardstick]

Dude I love your videos

[@Clases3d]

Thank you so much, so much useful tips!

Title: How to make a low poly rigged blender character Actual Video: Rubber chicken 500 times to make it 44 minutes lel

[@TeamCheryTrang]

Imphenzia, i do love what you instruct me with these clips. i am the noobie in unity and blender but was working with VS for years. i hope you make some clips to instruct how to "take a gun, how to shot in directions, ... " as you have shown us. Thank you so much for your sharing ...

[@djcrytec7177]

ohhh I'm looking forward to it !!! I'll be there for the next challenge ... I hope my blender skills are sufficient for it !!

[@DracosMinions]

you don't need to be a pro for these challenges.. the challenge is designed to help you grow,,,

[@Imphenzia]

I'm sure you'll pick it up :)

[@DougCooperTech]

That was amazing. I learned a ton.

[@extraterrestrial6323]

Thx man, you´re great!!!

[@yumpyblend]

I have learn a lot from this.

[@jarekshark1356]

thank you :)

[@realetho]

how r u that good! keep it up man!

[@nihilith37]

Next challenge : let's model an Harley-Davidson like motorbike in 10 minutes!

[@AnkushKumar-ur8ct]

Thank you sir

[@GaLzZy.]

Hi Imphenzia ! Great video again !!! I would like to see the same thing but with like let's say an interchangeable skirt or kilt, I'm doing a cavemen and I would like to be able to switch between different skirt for him :) Thanks a lot !

[@skulls3042]

I suggest that you make a floating island with a castle in the middle ripping out of the ground with chains attached to it

[@user-yz5bw4dm2d]

Hail the Blender angel..!

[@derweltenbauer269]

God, I wish blender automatically weight painted as well for me as it does for you, every time I do it there's an attached five hours of clicking on the same vertex until it finally sets the weight to 0.

[@dunderbirb8254]

Love your stuff bro just getting into unity. Am working on your tutorials 1 by 1. Just quick question can you make a video teaching us enemy ai? And non enemy ai? Which same thing kinda. Your a blessing though fr bro.

[@dmansor2]

it would be really cool to see you low poly model a mystical swamp/pond on a terrain cube slice. and have the pond glowing emission to give it a mystical effect and add like lilly pads in the watter and stuff with some rocks and bushes and trees around it. then render it :) would look really cool in your style. and if you don't want to do that, try making master chief from Halo. since he is already lowpoly. and even greater reason is the new halo infinite is coming out later this year and you'd get massive views trying to lowpoly the halo infinite master chief :) looking forward to your next video!! love the content

[@Chokwik]

nice one :) btw. have you done a clothes randomizer code in unity? i was thinking bc doing something like that in near future., low poly stuff :) idk if it would be reasonable just to hide all the clothes that are not picked by code (..used for like random ppl on street, or enemies with variations of clothes and hair/hats)

[@noxabellus]

On the bandolier/strap thing, could you use the knife tool and draw it on that way?

[@petrusderorkan68]

I've got a question about the workflow you start at around 35:00 Couldn't you just use the knife tool to get these diagonal edges or would that create issues with the weight paint? Nevertheless the video helped me a lot, thanks 👍

[@LennethValombre]

For the belt thing, wouldn't the knife preserve the weight paint and save some time instead of cleaning the circle select?

[@chrissyoutubechannel8679]

Awesome videos can’t get the colours up in 2.79 blender did have them but just got a square grey screen ware the checkered flag is to colour can you help been learning abit regards fellow blenderer thanks Chris will watch Thursday vid

[@NeZversSounds]

Have you seen Joey Carlino's video "Make Characters Fast With The Skin Modifier"? I think he has found THE fastest method for low poly characters.

[@Trivimania]

If you would import this model in unity, then how would you make individual clothing pieces hidden/visible? Are these some kind of submeshes in unity then for your gameobject?

[@SunSailor]

Isn't there some way to "project" the weight map of the character model on attached clothes? I get the elegance of this approach, if the clothing remains pretty simple, but if you need to do some more modelling, like making a uniform jacket or something, this could come to its limits. As weights are only an attribute of the vertices, I could think of a function or plugin, which maps and lerps them to associated ones in the clothings? Anyone any recommendations for that or am I thinking too simple here?

[@owencalkins6865]

How would one go about animating the clothing separate like a cape or banana blowing in the wind?

[@returnzero3530]

I am working on a game in unity engine, its similar to animal crossing. I would like to add gestures like dancing, and changeable body parts. What is the best approach for this? I would like to make every gesture animation reusable with different cloths and body parts

[@Slort_]

After I've rigged everything and applied the weight paint, when I move the root, the legs keep moving weirdly and spazzing out..

[@chrissyoutubechannel8679]

Could you do a slow video just to cut and mirror trying to design a drop ship great video

[@meifings3119]

Hello great video. I only have one question: Whenever I match armature and skin, it distorts and twists my character. I don't know how to fix this. Maybe someone can help me :)

[@aFewBitsShort]

Would it be better to separate the base model into sections and hide the sections that are occuluded to prevent them clipping through?

[@serefbulbull]

Hey! Great job man love your work! It would be awesome if you show how we can integrate all those clothes in to Unity and still have the animations.

[@deimosoverkill]

You just export an FBX with all the meshes (clothes) + armature with actions. Try it its not hard. =)

[@serefbulbull]

@@deimosoverkill When we had separate hat/backpack, we set them as a child of armature (head, spine2) in the Blender and then in the Unity we made those GameObjects again child of armature’s related GameObjects. However, I am not sure what to do with these weight painted clothes. I didn’t try it yet though :) Are those clothes just going animate with the character directly? Edit: I tried it and it works without any change since clothes come with Skinned Mesh Renderer unlike backpack or hat from this example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGjZh4OaZbSXjrM So, all good! :)

[@deimosoverkill]

@@serefbulbull Its really that easy; One trick i developed from doing this over and over; is making a "Blank" version of your character just for rigging, and then you copy all the weights from this "blank" mesh into the unclothed character, and the overlaying clothes/equipment meshes (in weight paint mode). a quick and precise way of rigging complex models to use ingame (like tactical vests with a bunch of pouches and pockets, or pants that snap seamlessly into a shirt mesh).

[@williamlombardo6220]

Hi. How can i do a dress for a woman? I’m trying but the skirt always clips with the legs. Thanks, I learned so much thing with your video. I’m sorry for my English but I’m Italian

[@-joker2010]

how to did u maintain the cavity of the model while also adding colors to it?

[@chrissyoutubechannel8679]

Hi awesome videos big fan of your work can help a fellow subscriber struggling with blender 2.79 when I go to cut 2 shapes together after I division then apply it says modifier is disabled when you apply can you advise. Would you do a drop ship in one of your videos big fan thanks Chris regards got some great ideas for some games if I can get started been struggling for months regards.

[@Imphenzia]

Hi Cris, thanks! are you using the bool tool to cut shapes or how do you mean cut 2 shapes together?

[@chrissyoutubechannel8679]

I go in tools add modifier Boolean select operation then difference then apply select both objects to cut hole into shape ware am I going rong regards can you do a drop ship in a video Chris help

[@BALI409]

i'm having problems with my character's shoulder. skin just keeps showing in front of the clothes every time i try to pose it in a wide angle.what should i do ?any help?

[@Shinika01]

How can we save user's preference in unity so everytime he loads the game, the custom choice of clothes is loaded by default. Possibly another "coin", for when he'll catch a superpower item then the coin changes to red instead of yellow... That kind of stuff. I know we're on a 3D channel not a gaming creator channel, but i prefer your way of explaining and showing, you're that good

[@RS-en1vj]

Please give some tips on weight paint mirroring :)

[@Imphenzia]

Hi, I usually weight-paint with a mirrored character so it solves itself, but maybe I should do an asymmetric one

[@annaz3222]
