Thank you so much everyone for watching and joining me on this adventure. The playlists for everything we've covered this year can always be found here: kzbin.infoplaylists. If you ever want to distinguish yourself in the comments so I can tell you've graduated, just put the following symbol next to your name: ♘ This will let me know you've been through Trials :) Merch Links can be found here: teespring.com/speed-tutorials-ya-done-cl?pid=46&cid=2739 teespring.com/speed-tutorials-ya-done-ho?pid=212&cid=5818 Could never have done any of this without all of your incredible support. Please have a Fantastic Holiday and a Happy New Years!!!

[@Build_the_Future]

I'm really looking forward to the unity programming tutorials I think game engines are incredibly powerful tools I've used Unity to create a robotics controller on my KZbin channel. I plan to use Unity for a lot more robotics applications in the future. Thanks for all your hard work 🙂

[@lfabio.n]

You're the best tutorial creator I've watched, your sense of humour and shorter videos are unbeatable. I love character creation, I am more inclined to realism and as I worked with information systems for companies I am very worried with performance, which I think is a good thing I'm not crazy about animation, I guess it's because the idea of the model repeating the same poses forever creeps me out, I implemented some procedural animation in Unity based on some regular animations, things like stop at this frame/normal time, start at this frame, I wish it could be more procedural with less work It seems you changed from Unity to Unreal, I would like to know why

[@RaichuWizDom]

I think it was Austin Kleon, or he was quoting someone in his book, who said that 'An expert in a field is someone who's read three books on the subject.' The logic being that normal people don't read three books on the same topic, so to distinguish yourself from them is pretty easy, even if you don't reach world top levels. Another way to look at it is your average F2P game: people who get up to rank 5 or whatever make up a small percentage of players, because the vast majority of players simply give up or don't invest time into their ranks. I'm looking forward to the shading tutorial. Still a writer first, hobbyist at that, so my goals are different from most, but your channel's given me something concrete to try to solve the art problems of the past... five-ish years, and it was a good motivator to look for solutions in places I hadn't tried yet. There are some neat tricks you can do with bone constraints, for example, like fan bones for the eyelids or a Transform constraint that might work in place of a driver, that sort of thing. Potentially, at least, there's some issues showing up in early testing that'll need to be figured out. Gotta get the story right first, though, work on character art in between. Best wishes, and good luck on all your endeavours.

[@Southinator1]

Thank you for the tutorials they have been really helpful espically the rigging series, as well as answering my questions. Welcome to 3D sculpting ! Have a Faaantastic Day, Hope to join the discord channel when it's ready!

[@rewindcat7927]

You are forgetting about teaching as a career. You are a natural teacher.

[@chai7245]

Bruh I literally learned 10 years of stuff in hours from you, and seriously, you’re amazing,thank you

[@anlexaify]

Bruh those stuff from your channel is everything that you've learned in hours? Thats so dope

[@anubisr9]

No bullshit straight to the point tutorials... really can't pick what's best, found good info about everything so far in this channel

[@OzzyMariam]

we are so lucky to have you sir.

[@nilsmuller-cleve6769]

You are not only the best blender tutorial channel in all of youtube with a ridiculous fast output, and on top of that you are probably one of the most engaged I've ever seen. So really big thank you and please take care of yourself that you don't burn out to. Regarding the discord, I think you don't need to be super active there, even though there are probably some fanboys looking for your attention. Providing a hub for your community is in my opinion more than enough. I was forced into the role of the animator of a student project about a year ago despite never have touched anything 3D before in my life. And you made it possible for me to get that project done! And since then it's probably my favorite field in game arts (even though I specialize as a game designer).

[@Vector_Lotus]

Even though i was fairly experienced. I loved watching your videos because of the amazing hidden gems I found within your videos. This video makes me feel emotional for some reason and I dont know why... THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING ROYAL SKIES

[@ShinGidora]

The whole wasting life thing hit hard... thats why im so grateful for you, royal. Rarely does an educator respect their students time and life, and more so than any college or online course have you shown that you are empathetic enough to not only look back on your experience, but be kind enough to help others because of what you went through. Im in college for game art right now and have sure has hell learned a lot more from shorter udemy courses and the amazing youtube community like you than any class would have. idk what im trying to say. Im appreciative of you, and I can assure it was not time wasted. You have a legacy, we are real people! I hope within the next few days I decide what I want to focus, I love it all, but want a nice portfolio! You're the man, mr. skies!

[@Mopsspoof]

If you hadn't done this series, I wouldn't have done Blender, I wouldn't have the choice to make money and help relatives with 3D rigging and animation. Thank you for all of that hard work. You've done something no other person has done on KZbin.

[@the5amkebab971]

Read my mind, the direction you're going in is exactly what the 3D community needs, and in your "straight to the meat and potatoes" style instead of all the other teachers that purposely drag out their videos as long as possible with useless filler so they can fit more ads in or brag how many hours their course has. Learning 3D is hard work, last thing we need are "gurus" unnecessarily wasting our time which actually limits what you learn. You da man!

[@YoujustgotJ1NXED]

come on youtube algorithm! give this guy the recognition he deserves!

[@Kingliger]

Dude.. You're a goddamn legend. I'm a super novice at all this. My goal was to be able to create, rig, and dress characters for Animation and VR purposes. I binged 2 1/2 weeks of blender tutorials. 12 hours a day and learned step by step. A lot of experimenting and fucking up. Felt pretty hopeless at first. With a few provided models and other nonsense I was slowly understanding. When I found your channel in the second week.. my course for learning and understanding was accelerated 10x. I actually understood where I would fuck up and why. The shortcuts and little things that made things amazingly simple and easy to digest.. I throw your channel to everyone I know. I mean fuck dude, I made my own tutorial (on another channel) to help 5yr+ 3d artist convert, rig, and setup for VR because of what I learned with you. I've even fixed models for people outta my league. I can't wait to see what you have to teach us in the coming year. Thank you so much.

[@joshualuciani3896]

You said in the video you think you wasted the prime of your life. I just hit 30, and lemme tell you, I'm just now hitting my prime. If anyone is under 30 and you're doing what you enjoy doing, you haven't missed anything. I started doing everything 3D at 27 (from default cube to game asset). I'm not amazing, but I don't feel like i wasted my early 20's by not finding this hobby sooner. All this keeps your mind young and I promise 4 years of wasted college is nothing. Love the tuts, I always come back when I get stuck

[@RubenSterlingS]

I use my current job as an excuse to stop learning... telling myself "money is more important right now because of Covid", I am pathetic because I have been following you for months... maybe one day I will be able to stop making excuses and try again with more enthusiasm. Have a fantastic new year! 2021

[@RosieSapphireMusic]

You are a gift to this universe. I hope you always know that. 💚

[@lewismurphy1562]

I was very afraid that you were gonna say that you're now done with KZbin videos. Thank god that's not the case. These are some of the best tutorials I have found anywhere, you are the master Royal Skies!

[@MelvilleG]

Been with you for more than a year, and enjoyed every video - even those unrealated directly to Blender. Wishing you immense success in the coming year and beyond. I hope your community will grow to a million subs. Because your subs are real Blender practitioners and value you greatly for comprehensive explanations and for being good, kind and entertaining all along. Keep it up and we never gonna let you down.(no rickrolling intended, lol)

[@raiseledwards]

Well, I'll tell you. Loved all of the steps. I started developing a 3D game a few weeks back and thanks to you I was able to go through all the steps the right way from Blender to Godot. It all started as a hobbie, but now I'm taking this little project seriously. The experience was a lot more enjoyable thanks to you, I may end up going full indie/solo game developer after getting my degree, may be even before. Anyways thanks for the kind video, it can sometimes be hard to be a beginner, you can be discouraged when there's no one to help you, and you obviously want people to not give up in their own journeys. When I finish my project I'll be here saying thanks for the help and showing you what your ancient techniques were used for. Hope that helps. Have a faantAstIc day and I'll see you around.

[@NicolasSouzaNCS_ofc]

For 2021 my first objective is get a kinect device to learn mocap and check all videos from this channel as learned.

[@FreakazoidRobots]

Thanks for all the help! This is one of the channels I go to the most frequently. I want to learn everything, so wish me luck.

[@darthmocap]

Maybe, the real skills learned where the friends we made along the way.

[@KashimusPrime]

Your channel has really saved my bum as I was learning sculpting and advanced rigging. The thing I find most fun is weight painting, while the thing I hate most is a thing that I haven't even touched yet and that is retopology. I'm not rich enough to afford those high end retopology add-ons the pros swear by. I've yet to find the one thing that will help me in my struggles to keep the details I sculpted. I hear shrinkwrap works but I'm insecure af to give it a try.

[@drakingp2119]

♘It has been quite the journey, gotta say joining the kingdom and becoming a knight of the Kingdom has been one of the best learning experiences I've had in Blender, so much info in a short amount of time, it's great. Also the mouse was an amazing investment, I'm still getting used to making new muscle memory, but I can see the potential

[@Nitsirtriscuit]

I've learned a lot of new skills in my life from online tutorials and forums. I've attempted learning coding and modeling two or three times before, but always got frustrated with something and lost interest. This time around, I found your videos and I've never learned any skill so quickly! You're not only a skillful artist, but a great teacher too. Thank you so much for the effort you've put into this series!

[@ZEDCorbett]

I think I liked procedural textures the most, but those rigging / weight painting videos saved my bacon on multiple occasions, especially "0.2".

[@rafaelramires5883]

I have begun modeling/rigging/ uv-maping/texturing this year and OW BOY! Your vídeos are right on the point, didatic and no shitty fluff. They helped me so much and every time I learn something New. Thanks to the Hip Control drivers and shape keys videos I was able to Control a SKIRT doing that way. (I had limitarions on not using cloth simulation nor anything else but bones). Thanks for your amazing work!

[@pocketblue]

Proud of you and your community, man. Even as an outsider, I can't express my gratitude enough. Thank you for everything you've done and plan to do

[@Bromancelot]

Just like all of the comments stated previously, you have been a help in learning how to use blender with a sense of pride and enjoyment with my work. What I truly loved the most (and what made me subscribe) were your videos on procedural materials/textures. I won't lie it took me awhile to figure out what version of blender you are using and why I didn't have as many options on a lot of my nodes, but I enjoyed every single video you put out and utilized some form or another in my own projects. You do a fantastic job with these videos and I hope that you continue to produce them for anyone wanting to learn 3D modeling for years to come! I even recommended..... forced friends to watch your videos who ask me how to learn 3D modeling lol

[@TheHustler245]

I havent graduated yet, I have a lot of content of yours to watch, but what I have seen so far has been invaluable!

[@alexstach8667]

It's actually a great thing that your next focus is going to be character creation. I want to work as a professional character artist and your videos are a great way to learn it.

[@adenintriphosphat520]

The hero the world needed, almost shed a tear ;D

[@billyjjackson]

Your work is the perfect go-to guide and I don't have to spend time skipping around for that one sentence that sparks my memory. Thanks you so much! Generally, the worst thing for me is retopology.

[@EzzyFrames]

Hey! Royal skyies I really just want to say thanks for making this this playlist, cause the first video of this playlist taught me my most important lesson on 3d... And it is that 3d art is not for me!😅 Cause what I want to do is tell my stories, and like you said, if that is the case I shouldn't go further cause the amount of time I would spend learning everything I need to tell a story in 3d is too much... I already invested alot of time in learning just the basics of 3d softwares and their is still a long way to go before I can tell stores with this art form So I'm just going to spend all the time I would have otherwise spent in becoming a jack of all trades in 3d animation and invest that time in years of experience in story telling in a comicbook art style cause I'm already really good at drawing One again thanks for the advice.

[@spiritsong8875]

I just want to say that despite only finding your channel last week, you have helped me in so many ways. So I want to thank you for that, your videos will help me for years to come. Thank you.

[@Yanomeko1]

Glad I got to be one of the first supporters, I always believed your videos were instrumental to my success in 3d last year, arriving at the perfect moment and expanding naturally at same pace. Now I get to continue to do that into next year, I'm stoked for what you prepare! Fighto!

[@Usual_User]

Happy new year!

[@jacob4316]

Thank You for contributing to us and that will continue to only add value to you in return. Happy New Year!

[@89cenda]

[@CreativeSteve69]

my new years resultuion is to get better at character modeling and animating in 3D. :) HOpe ya had a great chirstmas and wishing ya a happt new years. One thing I would love to master would be uv unwraping and texturing.

[@kittentacticalwarfare1140]

Saving money to get a powerful PC that allows me to use all the knowledge this channel has provided. Subbing was not a mistake it was a blessing, thanks and hoppy new year.

[@velaseriat]

Dude I will watch literally any video you throw out.

[@erwandelfour5172]

Man when I see the number of your videos and how short they are, I'm really motivated to learn blender, I just learned 3DS Max in my school and I don't have much time with my work and my daughter so I just started a little, but I know it's possible graceful to you, seriously you understood really well what people wants, thank you 😘

[@g0balot]

I have learned so much from you. I hate sitting through a twenty minute video to get to the one minute of useful information. I have been told how to install an add on in blender about a million times now. Your videos are just perfect for actually learning stuff. Your plans for the future sound just perfect for me. Thanks for your work and your humour.

[@chandlerpavia3670]

The other day I stumbled across your videos (coding background but no modelling) And I gotta say, your presentation and content are killer. So killer in fact that I signed in to youtube for the first time in years just to let you know. Thanks for everything :)

[@Ikxi]

You really didn't have to edit this level up scene, but I appreciate it so much!

[@madelynkraemer]

this channel is the best thing ive ever found on youtube

[@HyperDev00]

I'm looking forward it!!

[@x64vfx]

So happy I found this amazing channel. You made us all blender gods . thank you

[@fittyyen]

Thanks for coalescing all your knowledge into a save state for the rest of us. I'm not 100 percent done with your tutorials yet, im trying to learn from as many sources as I can. Animating and modeling are pretty fun but rigging and texturing are currently break my brain. Here's to another year!

[@BennieWoodell]

I'm so excited to learn more about character creation! Enjoy your much needed break!

[@opti12]

Thanks for everything so far, you're awesome. Good luck on your next path. I just want to make realistic environments and characters to tell stories via movies/ maybe games. Hope you'll see it 1 day and can be proud

[@wolfuna]

I remember starting with blender 5 years ago, it was so hard to find sth, luckily Mc-animation where still popular at that time so I looked everything up from there, I was 11 at that time and did a lot of mistakes like never trying things out my own, 2 years ago I really wanted to get into animation and i did, It went pretty well but when I finally found this channel everything was way easier, I could finally learn faster and make my childhood dream come true, I'm now 16 and this year I've become a mc-Animator (I model my own stuff sculpt and rig them, sometimes even texture but I mostly use the shader.) with the mission to try to bring a little joy into some ppl life's back, maybe even the old days, I believe that someday I might be able to do sth amazing which everyone will fall in love with, but I also know that I might fail which also belongs to the way of success thanks for sharing everything with us

[@SupaKoopaTroopa64]

Remember: it's never too late to see massive improvement. I've been doing Blender animations since 2013, but it wasn't until this past year that I really got good at modeling and rigging characters.

[@wolfuna]

@@SupaKoopaTroopa64 we all have to believe xD

[@ShinGidora]

wow. you started really young! I was more into 2D graphics and music when I was younger. Keep focusing and you'll make some really killer stuff :)

[@bobcatdreams]

Thanks for all the work you have put in so far!

[@MeinVideoStudio]

Take your Time.

[@MasterCharizard]

Thank you, you are amazing and kind.

[@germanalbanian]

I always have to watch your tutorials again, cause when I need something I forgot how you did it again 😅

[@steelkraken]

Un trabajo excelente. En este año espero por fin volverme un patreon, porque tu trabajo es superlativo y realmente vale la pena apoyar a creadores de contenido tan buenos. Happy new year!

[@CrispyMuffin2]

Sculpting and character creation is one of my biggest goals, i really hope you keep up your amazing work!

[@DominikGoebel]

You're just an amazing person and I can't stress enough how much your content helped me with my own journey. I'm not a professional but rather a hobbyist, but thanks to you I'm no longer a beginner either. Have a great hiatus! Thanks for your amazing content!

[@Ozviewer976]

I really love your tutorials. It’s understandable and non-time consuming and whatever I forget a certain thing I come to this channel and each time I watch em. Got use to Blender everyday or year. What my main focus is Modeling and Sculpting. The only trouble is finding work to income myself.

[@clanker8021]

So proud to be part of this journey of yours, that at the same time represents parts of everyone else's journeys as we grow both as artists and people. Sharing knowledge, creating, and surpassing challenges together as a community! : )

[@sresto]

Thank you for all your hard work and perseverance. Much blessings in the new year aaaaaanddddd we're done.

[@nategreyson6014]

♘ Royal, thank you so much for the tutorials. I was able to learn blender this year thanks to you. Legend.

[@maxwillson]

I really enjoy character design and animation.

[@pierreelloy3784]

favorite blender tutorial chanel merci

[@DonWippo1]

Yolo Yellow is a nice description. Sadly there is not a t-shirt in omnipotent orange ;) I did not really graduate from here, but I am about that skill level you described and would still like to call myself a royal Knight ;) In all honesty I don't really know what I like to do the most. For me the most amazing feeling was always to work down the entire Pipeline (minus texturing XD) and have created a moving character. But I tend to spent more time on Modelling, so maybe that should be my path.

[@NICK....]

Can't wait to see what weird and wonderful stuff you make next

[@marcosboffa]

KZbin doesn't deserve channels like this. Grat Job! And a lot of thanks.

[@fruitlessdog6304]

Thank you for all this content, without you I probably would have dropped 3D modeling because it would take so long to understand anything new. Your content is quick, concise, gives everything we need, and a little more, but just in a quick couple seconds. When I see what I need, sometimes I even do a slow pass, by going frame by frame. The part I hate most? The part that isn't even part of Blender, which is video editing. It's not hard, nor does it take long. I just don't like it for some reason. The part I like most? uhhhhhhhhhhhh...

[@BogdanACuna]

You are a blessing to the world

[@drevildude5113]

This feels awesome! I started late, but I plan on finishing all of the series as soon as I can! I'm so grateful to you for this work! I hope the character creation bit would include texturing and blender hair (the photorealistic way). I am interested in those fields the most as well! Happy new year, and have a nice vacation!

[@organicos5834]

My fav is animating, my least fav is texturing, but i love the toon shading look, still need to review some lessons to start the year good, thanks for everything

[@TheGamersShade]

Thanks man for all these great videos, years ago i took a college course for maya and didn’t learn half the things you taught me with blender. Your stuff is great and i’m excite for what comes next.

[@noirlavender6409]

Thank you Mr. Skies, happy new year to you too ♥

[@mikecargioli8696]

Wonderful, man. This video had me worried you were leaving! Thank you so much for all you’ve done this year.

Best tutorials I've ever watched in my entire life, you're doing a great job for the 3D community

[@gonderage]

Thank you so much, dude! I've enjoyed your series and your stylish charisma ever since I first got my computer in May and fired up Blender for the first time on it. Your brevity saved me so much time.

[@mantas5961]

To be honest, I`ve discovered your channel yesterday and learnt per night more than a days of learning from other tutorials. You`re awesome man, keep doing content, you save a lot of time for all. Thank you very much!

[@shivam7156]

Thankyou 😂❤️ you are the only reason I'm ok in Blender

Thanks a lot mate! amazing content as always, i learned a lot, i started on 2010 with 3d max and i never was confident enought to jump into blender, but thanks to all of this knowledge u shared, my workflow its easier (like a loooot easier haha) , blender its just a love letter to all designers, no matter if ur in 3d stuff, special fx, 2d animation, it have everithing....and if u conbine it with all the software u use, Ya- done!!!.

youre the mvp dude! personally im going to continue down the road of jack of all trades, so i can make videogames. ill probably specialize in animation and character design down the road.
