    Congrats Grant! You totally deserve it! I watched so many of your videos when I was first learning Blender!

  • @TheUser3D
    @TheUser3D Год назад +16

    It's so rare to find teachers that will actually teach for a beginner in mind. I find that most tutorials are tutorials for intermediates. I say that because I've been watching online courses for all kinds of art mediums for the past 5 years. Your channel was the one I needed to understand 3D modeling and Blender. Thank you for your great teaching style, and grats!

    🎉 Congrats Grant. I have been following along your tutorials and I found them to be PERFECT. I can confidently say am getting better at modeling. Thanks you very much.
    Oh and yeah, you weren’t just blabbering to yourself, listened all the way, it’s actually quite refreshing this wasn’t some obnoxious celebration video, but filled with helpful tips not just in art but in life 🙏🏽🤝🏽.

    I started seriously practicing 3D in 2018. 3 years after that I got my first job as an Environment Artist in a videogame company using Blender. Grant, Blender Guru, CG Cookie and Stylized Station I owe you a lot! Now I'm learning to draw with your Video Game Concept Art Course
    So congratulations and thank you for everything!

    Grant you are an inspiration for me ❤. I still remember when I was getting started with blender I was struggling and didn't even knew where to start your tutorials gave me that hope and built amazing projects seeing your tutorial.
    No matter what you are helping many people's out there and I'm proud of that and I really appreciate that.

    @FawwazAsh Год назад

    Congrats Grant, thank you for everything from the tutorials, motivation and knowledge. Every time when u share your knowledge it's always punch in the face, because I always trying to control something that I can't control, like critics and negative feedback and perfection from something that I try to make in blender and it's always stop me to trying again, I don't know how many time I drop and pickup again trying to learn 3D. Once again you deserve it and thanks for helping me.

    Congratulations on this epic milestone Grant!!! 👏
    And thank you for kick-starting my 3D journey with your beginner course!
    It really gave me a great start and a quick win which motivated me to keep going. Now I'm in my 3rd year and I already have my own small short-film series 😊
    What I like about your list is, that most of those things are also applicable to other professions. Which makes this video very valuable for a lot of people!
    Keep going and off to the next 500k!!! 🙌

    @metalsiren Год назад +3

    I am still with you 😂
    Being a 3D modeler that cannot draw pictures (I did classes… with no success), I needing lots of textures and images to populate my environment with imaginary ads or designs…
    AI is a tool that is saving me a lot of time.
    We have to remember that new technology has always been controversial.
    Remember the times of Photoshop?
    When magazines were retouching their models for longer legs or erasing moles? (Cindy Crawford anyone?🥰)
    Now Photoshop is a “must” have in the industry…

    I am still with you. It is helpful to hear that everyone struggles. A lot of times we watch RUclips videos of people at their best ,and and we forget that those same people go trough rouh times as well. 3D art is a hobby for me but I strive to keep improving.

    I'm still with you! Your tutorials and technique videos are superb, and while it's true that I'm making donuts, it's as a compliment to other instructionals. I feel like your style really helps build understanding, rather than just repeating steps. I actually feel like I learn the how and why, rather than just repeating the steps. I've come back to Blender after several years out of the hobby, and enough has changed with the new release that going back and re-doing the basics is really helping me re-learn the system.

  • @MethanicBlast
    @MethanicBlast Год назад

    I am a solo indie game developer, coming from an engineering background. I remember my frustration from 4 years ago when I try to apply a brick texture to a wall. I do not clearly remember how I found you, but I do remember your videos and playlists that draw me a clear picture of how 3d art workflow goes from A to B. I started with extruding faces to UV unwrapping to texture baking to weight painting to your krita concept art course. And one of your (relatively recent) Shorts about in edit mode we can tick "correct face attributes" to achieve sort of dynamic uv unwrapping that led me to make pavements and roads and fences way easier. This is definitely one of my longest comments, but it's just a poor way of saying that it would be "very" hard if not impossible for me to do my job. Thanks for making many things easier.

  • @cho9175
    @cho9175 Год назад +1

    One of the best Blender channels, thanks to you I was able to lose my fear of learning 3D modeling and I managed to do my first modeling from start to finish, and also, when I posted it on my Instagram, you responded.
    My most sincere thanks.❤

    Some great tips in here! Congrats on 500k. A fantastic milestone and very well deserved 👏 Your Low Poly Monster tutorial was one of the first tutorials I followed when I started my Blender journey last year and I’m currently working my way through your Animation & Rigging tutorial. You’ve been an enormous source of knowledge, for which I’m very thankful. 🙏

  • @procrastinator24
    @procrastinator24 Год назад

    Your teeth are fine, what are they on about? 😂
    I want to thank you so much Grant! These tipps can easily be applied to all jobs in general. Also, I had no knowledge of blender prior to learning your courses, but you made it really easy to get started! I pointed this one out earlier in another one of your videos, but whats really great is that you tell your students when to pause the video and catchup with you. This is great, because it helps avoiding students copying your workflow instead of listening, paying attention and understanding what is happening and why.
    Im about to finish your character creater v2 course with the orc this week and will dive right into sculpting the dragon afterwards :)

    Great video Grant! I've been putting out animated shorts and my friends were having a peculiar reaction to it. Some were weirded out, some were laughing, some were seeing something of value in places. The most important thing is to not stop creating. Things will get better with time and curiosity. Keep up the good work! Congrats on 500k!

    Congratulations Grant! As a Fine Artist my self you learn to embrace the failures, mistakes, pushing your art to the point of failure and errors, perfectionism is a fools choice, no art is ever complete only resolved. Critiquing is part of fine art process. You are doing a great job and you are creating new Blender artists, inspiring people is one of your best qualities! Hate Hustlers!

  • @proza1957
    @proza1957 8 месяцев назад

    Another GREAT video Grant. I follow a few RUclips content creators and you are one of my main ones. I think AI is good for getting ideas but that's about it. Example: you have a client you show an AI image to and they like it with some changes. Due to prompts you can not have it make the changes because AI likes to create a whole new image. But it is great for getting ideas.
    I would like to see videos more on planning of the project. Depending on project (animation, sculpting, low ploy or VFX). Of course these must be guideline.

    hi grant Im here to say that you are the best at teaching, with out you I wouldnt have learned and gottening were I am now; with out using your teachings. And the fact I know I been taught by the best, is when I saw Ryan kings commenting; and shining a light on how much you help him. This just shown to me that you are the Ultimate king of blender, and I can't thank you enough; you deserve this goal much than the next person. Congratulations🥳

  • @Sponjo1978
    @Sponjo1978 Год назад

    First at all congratulations for the 500k subs. Well deserved for sure.
    And I would like to thank you as I started using blender after watching one of your videos, and I've really enjoyed all this time I've been using it.
    And I would like to say again a huge thank you as right now I'm going through a very difficult time in my life and I left blender and everything around it as It is difficult for me right now to find a motivation. But this video... Wow man... It's very encouraging even if it's not related to my personal situation.
    I think that all your positivity, all your tips, everything you try to explain to us... All of that helps not only when we talk about creativity and being an artist or content creator but also in our personal lifes. This how I see it and how I feel it.
    I wish you all the best, hopefully I will write something when you'll reach 1m subs.

  • @lyghtkruz
    @lyghtkruz Год назад

    I made it to that point at the end, you were not alone Grant. Early in the video really resonated with me because I have a lot of those problems with trying to be a perfectionist and having imposter syndrome. I'm starting my artistic journey late in my life, so I always feel like anything I share on Instagram has to look amazing. I put off finishing some of my works for months because they didn't look as good as I wanted. When I shared a cyborg/robot that I did on Instagram and got a like from you, it totally made my day. I didn't get a bunch of likes but I did get one from someone I admired, so that to me was a great win. Thanks for all that you do, I appreciate learning new things all the time from your videos and courses.

    Terrific achievement Grant. Well done Sir and thoroughly well deserved and earned. From my point of view, thank you very much for breaking down the fears about 3D and introducing me to Blender. I would not have ventured to even try were it not for your channel. So cheers 🍻 . And I agree whole heartedly about the preoccupation with perfection. It shackles creativity. There is liberty in failure. Take a chance you'll be rewarded.
    All the best for your future and cracking anecdote about your brother. Older bro I take it right...? Got one myself 😅

I signed up for your courses, Thanks for the seasonal offer or I'd never be able to afford it. after watching your videos and a lot of others, some good some bad, normal.quoi,.. I concur with Graham, you have heart.
