The texture file is the unwrapped UV! You should be able to print out the PNG file and make a papercraft this way, but I'm not sure how easy it could be done depending on model complexity.

Join my discord if you want some more help, but basically make a single line from a plane and line up your line with your reference image in a fixed camera angle. Then, extrude a single point by 0 using Sift+E, and move it to where you want. Then just continue that off of your new point.

Start with a single plane and then use Shift+E to extrude a point/lineface

​@@racewizardThank you

Thanks big guy

Everyone else watching seems to be fine. You might just be a little slow, like, in the head?

@@racewizard i dont see why resorting to that sort of talk is necessary

@@racewizard also way to heart your own hate comment lol not a red flag at all. If this is how you interact with people irl, i can see why you had so much time on your hands to model friends for yourself.

@@Mgsthpv This one DEFINITELY gets a heart too <3

@@racewizard lol doubling down on being terrible doesn’t make you not terrible.

consider space bar

I could also upload the model to blender or use any other animating software, but I wanted to animate in Blockbench.

Set whole parts of the model to a specific (greenscreeen) color, like neon red or green so that you can edit it in engine. For mes edits, I'd say either hand make each mesh or do some crazy dev work in whatever engine you use.

@@racewizard alright and thank you. Also you would do more tutorials in the future for characters and weapons.

Yes, they can be ported to all three. I have yet to find something that Blockbench can't easily to ported to. However, I know that animations kind of break when porting to Blender

@@racewizard good 2 know thank you!

I really appreciete it big guy, Blockbench is very easy to pick up and I wish you the best.

I prefer the chunky look on the hands, but yes, you can work with the meshes to give it more realistic proportions.

That's a really valid question. For me, Blockbench's simplicity really makes it enjoyable. I feel like Blender and the like are so bloated with features I'd never use I see no point in learning it. Blockbench is tricky in that way, you only have a small pool of tools to work with. There's usually only one methods of doing something and you can't combine methods very easily, meaning you really have to work with what you have. I got into creativity though Minecraft building and I think that the limitations with that made me enjoy Blockbench more than other softwares. Another thing is community. So many people use Blender and the like in so many different ways, but anyone who creates anything on Blockbench regularly can connect with what everyone else using the software does because of that limited tool set.

I have been able to use animations like these to import into Godot! You are unable to affect scale in animations used for Godot though.

Nope, no joints really, just groupings of meshes.

block bench is a great for animation but when it comes yo complex animations like these the lack of joins straight up turns it from fun to not as fun

@@trolgeeeeee Agreed.

The game is supposed to take on a bit of a lighter tone than initially planned I think, but I still don't think this character paints the full picture of what it will look like.

Thanks a lot big guy. I use scaling in the timeline to bring the "swooshies" in and out of the animation. I just set the scale to 0 on all axis for other animations. If you are using a format that doesn't allow for scaling, I'd recomend manually placing the "swooshy" below the model so it clips into the ground and isn't visible in game, or set it's possition to like 999999999999 so it can't be seen. Doing the later option may be a preformance issue though because the engine will have to deal with that big number.

Thank you big guy

I'm a far throw away from doing that yet, but thank you very much big guy.

I only animate in Blockbench, but Blockbench animating is difficult, primitive , and does not support bones.

I'd recommend slowing down the video and seeing how I set up the face vertex by vertex. You can also explore places like the Blockbench Discord and sketchfab to analyze other models and how their faces work!

Thank you big guy.

Thank you big guy. For the outline, I use a basic technique that you can find other videos for online, but I can give you the basic steps: 1) Make sure all your models are in mesh form and not cubes! to do this, manually select cubes and right click your selection. Then, select "Convert to Mesh." 2) Select all meshes by being under Selection Mode: Object, and press ctrl+A. 3) Right click the selection and select Duplicate. This will make duplicates of all meshes while not affecting the groupings structure of the model. DO NOT CHANGE YOUR SELECTION AFTER THIS STEP OR YOU WILL HAVE TO START OVER. 4) Move your selection far enough away from the center of the model so that all duplicate pieces are easily selectable. 5) Now, change your selection mode to 'Face.' Using the square selection tool (Holding ctrl+left click while dragging your mouse) reselect the duplicate model you just made. 6) By either right clicking the face selections or by accessing the toolbar at the top of the screen, select "Invert Face." You may not have Invert Face on your toolbar by default, but it can be added to your toolbar via the three dots next to your Edit, Paint, and Animate buttons. 7) Now, resize the selection on all three axis by your desired outline thickness. (For my model, I did 0.5.) 8) With only your current selection, create a New Texture, then drop a black paint bucket into the texture file so that it's just a big black square. 9) Go To File>Preferences>Settings>Preview>Render Sides, and select "Outside" from the drop down menu. 10) Move your selection back over your original model and enjoy your cool outline.

I'll certainly try to in a later video. Elbows are definitely the hardest and knees the easiest joints to make.

@@racewizard That's strange, but interesting. I always thought that the hip-ball-n-socket or shoulder joints would be the most difficult to design for future goals; especially if the rig is to perform flexible athleticisms (martial arts or acrobatics). I'm curious as well.

The easy part about ball joints (I call them action-figure or doll joints) is that they don't need to be hidden! At least in my opinion that is.@@brianbergmusic5288

That will be the next video!

I started using Blockbench for Minecraft servers and modding. A lot of my old work can be seen in my portfolio which is in the description of my videos. Now, I want to use blockbench to hopefully be part of a small team making narrative driven games.

No problem big guy.

Glad to help. I have another video on my channel that has a more complicated elbow formation if you want to model after that too.

Not sure how much help I can provide but I'll give it a go. For Blockbench, all quads are just two tris, it doesn't matter. There is just a hidden edge running across the center of the 'quad.' Blockbench also animates differently from blender. There is no stretching or bending of meshes, all pieces remain static across animations, but pieces can move independently from one another, so it's kind of like posing a LEGO or action-figure. See my hand guide for a deeper look at this. An overall piece of advice though is to not worry about keeping everything quads or everything tris. If a triangle would look better, use that.

@@racewizard Thank you! This was indeed very helpful! I kinda like the style of separated limbs. Really goes well with the PS1 aesthetic. Maybe I can get something similar going in blender. Cheers!

Thank you big guy.
