Tutorial: Blender MODELLING For Absolute Beginners - Simple Human

[@souperchicken9395]

I accidentally figured something out, holding ctrl snaps stuff into place and its incredibly useful for precise stuff. Just a nice tip I'll leave here for beginners

[@joshcaladia]

ctrl+shift gets even more precise

[@kurayami1]

top middle you can also select what you’d like to snap it to: increment, vertex, etc

[@joshcaladia]

@@kurayami1 and if it's being a little weird, you can always right click and manually snap the selected vertices

[@souperchicken9395]

Hope I've helped some people out :) Also thank you to those who have left more tips here

[@ballsofsalsa01]

Alt+F4 also smoothes the sharp corners, very useful

[@jalensworld7241]

After 6 1/2 hours of working on the model, and having to replay it back and forth because I'm slow at learning, I have finally completed my first human model. Thanks for the tutorial Pixxo. Also you taught us how to make PS1 models, so extra points for you.

Perhaps the biggest piece of advice I got from this video was to use orthographic views more. My model still turned out like a potato, lol, but it was less of a potato than the last. Progress. Good video, thanks.

[@daveybalmer]

One of the crispest, most concise and worthwhile videos on Blender. An awful lot has been packed into just 35 minutes to provide a foundational experience in Blender. Just hope that PIXXO 3D keeps coming with more of the same for lighting, camera and animation [if not already there]. Great job - thanks.

I've been thinking about 3d modeling for nearly my whole life. But never get pass the primitive meshes. But your tutorial is so beginner friendly and we end up with an model that looked not bad. A character, not a chair. That's amazing.

[@yutupedia7351]

same here 😂

[@FundipDev]

relatable with the character not a chair part. lol, this really helped

[@artthounasty5877]

I'm soooo glad to find this cause most character modeling tutorials expect you to already know how to use blender and beginners tutorials want you to model stuff like three stump. And though I get why they want you to start simple, there's lot of people like me who just won't do it if it's not something that interests them. I've been pushing back learning blender for almost a year cause I just can't be bothered to model something I have no interest in.

[@HarleyBomb87]

I've been messing around with different modeling techniques from different tutorials, this is by far the best and my first attempt came out so well that I've been able to generate base female and male models for my game that I can use for the various player and NPC actor models. I'm a game designer that wants a specific look I can't find out there, people seem to really struggle with faces in particular, which is understandably difficult. They're either too cartoonish or super-realistic but with malformed features. I'm coming over to the dark side and learning to do all my own models and textures so I can get that blend between cartoon and realism. This was a huge help. I was an anatomy student some time in my past, so it's all just a matter of learning on this new medium. Thank you!

Can we see a trailer or an alpha footage maybe? 🤣

I recently learned all about 2D Character design with the intent to finalize my art in 3D sculpting using Blender. This was the first tutorial that I actually tried to apply everything I've learned on characters. And WOW I went a bit wild here on creativity but the result is absolutely amazing thanks to how simple and straightforward this tutorial was. Great success!

[@ButWhyMe...]

I'm only here to take a shortcut in learning 2d. I'll model my character, rig and pose them, then simply trace.

This is the best Blender beginners tutorial I've found, and I've been looking. It was explained well for someone who's never done more than make a very ugly ball of bumpy digital clay. I only watched it this time around but I learned so much terminology and so many basic hotkeys for this stuff. First thing tomorrow morning, I'm throwing this on again and following along. Fantastic video! Thank you!

[@edopedia]

Here’s the solution for the issue at 16:11 You most likely accidentally created duplicate geometry and now when you move it using "G", it appears to be creating new geometry but it was really already there. In "Edit Mode", simply select all vertices by pressing "A", then use Merge by Distance from the menu: Mesh > Cleanup > Merge by Distance to automatically remove duplicate vertices and faces. Now you can move the face using "G" as mentioned in the video.

If you get stuck when trying to rotate remember: mesh - clean up - merge by distance. This is caused by hitting escape after extruding without hitting ctrl+Z to undo. Escape makes extra vertices for whatever reason.

[@rockhertodeath]

I made it 12 minutes in before I gave up. I love these speed build tutorials!

[@_Prismatica]

This was awesome! The only big issue I ran into was when I was trying to extrude the thumbs. The geometry kept morphing inside itself at odd angles and came out extremely flat, almost 2D. No matter what transformations I tried it just kept twisting itself in strange ways. I tried going into x-ray mode to see if I had accidentally created duplicate edges/vertices (something I learned from another tutorial), but had no luck fixing it. I imagine this is something I'll figure out with enough time in the program. All in all you made this process a lot less daunting than I thought it would be. I'm excited to practice creating characters and to broaden my artistic abilities!

[@j3ffn4v4rr0]

it sounds like what I was experiencing when I was trying to scale a couple things...if I'd move the cursor too far, it would invert on itself and look really weird. I think it's because I was too zoomed out, so tiny mouse movements go farther than you intend...it helped me to zoom in closer to the item I was trying to affect.

23:10 I keep getting tripped up here. When I hit the face and shrink it, it ends up creating a middle face, not a face that takes up the middle and left portions. When I try to proceed with the extra faces there, it just leads to a malformed mess.

[@chrisreed6309]

This is a great tutorial. I had to restart 3-4 times because I'd rotate around my model and discover I hadn't selected all the vertices and I has some very odd faces. Now I know enough, I can spend a lot of time doing finer touches to the body shape. Thank you.
