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
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.
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.
This happened to me a LOT when I started using tools like Unity and Godot. Just keep working on it and pretty soon it'll feel like the TEACHER is trying to keep up with YOU! ❤
Have you had the problem where every action creates new surfaces ? Like rotation creating an extrusion? I try to rotate the upper surface but it ends up creating a new surface instead of moving the original block itself
excuse me while your comments left here 2 year ago, if you or someone watch this video and understand what i said let help me solve this problem in Hand Extrude, i do like Pixxo teach and it work normally to step Scale extrude hand, like he do when he scale Face mode it affect only extrude extend he drag but when I did it scale all cube not like he do, what exactly wrong of me and how to solved it? Thanks
This is the only tutorial that managed to teach me how to use blender. Majority don't explain things that they think that are simple but for beginners we have no idea.
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.
This tutorial was simply amazing! I've honestly been watching multiple 'beginners' tutorial before even trying blender. But yours is the least daunting and scary, never would've thought that my first ever creation would turn out to be this great! This was such a great start to learn blender, thank you for the tutorial!
Yeaah, this was a good one. I’d also suggest the beginner donut tutorial by Blender Guru, as that one was my very first and has helped me a lot. It’s been really fun, too :-)
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!
Man, you are a teacher. I see many tutorials there just for vanity "how cool i can handle with this with my special bought plug ins". But you show all the steps!!!! Thank you!!
I love how this tutorial is simple and complete enough for everyone to understand ans yet doesn't makes us feel like someone explaining things to a child
This actually helped me so much! I feel like i could get blender to be a good friend of mine. I really want to do some simple animations and i am very much willing to put a lot of time and effort into it. Thank you for being the first step of my journey. ^^
Solid tutorial, kind of hard to follow more advanced ones from other creators when they don't have the time to tell us how they do every little thing. (selecting faces, increasing/decreasing scale, etc)
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.
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!
I've wanted to learn 3d modeling for ages, and this video had made figuring out blender incredibly easy. Huge thanks man, you've done the world a great service
Thank you for this tutorial! It was basic, and as a beginner to blender myself, this was really helpful and understandable unlike most tutorial, who use multiple different fields, modifiers, (etc) without even telling us what they do!
Just started learning Blender for fun. but I am not totally newbie, I used to use 3dsMAX when I was young. Found this video actually very nice, does not talk too much or trying to be funny like many others. Just going through the main points. Good job mate.
I am very exited to say that this worked perfectly and it only took me 1-2 hours to complete! I am happy to see you teach the person watching while they build said dummy along the way!
This is by far the most useful introduction to Blender i've found so far. Nice pacing, great that you repeat and speak out loud what shortcuts you use. So many others just roll on out there at 200 kilometers an hour, expecting people who have never used Blender, to catch on to the fact that you used a 40 key combo to do some crazy stuff.
Very good video! I'm a programmer trying to get into modelling and that's exactly the level I needed. Despite knowing the most used tools, mentioning the shortcuts is great. Thank you ❤
At 16:10 after selecting the face of the object click on the 'Move' button on the left side of the screen OR press G which is easier, and that is how to drag the legs, you're welcome to anyone who needed to know
at 22 minutes after spending 2 hours and my character isnt as good but ive learned alot going to re watch and re create till my characters are decent looking and not so fat lol! thank you bro very good tutorial 10/10
wow, I learnt a TON! Thank you. I think this would be a perfect tutorial for beginners as it touches a lot of the basics tools... With this and a little initiative to experiment, you can basically propel yourself forward into other potential project ideas. Lovely!
I have done plenty of hard surface modeling for props and 3D printing in Blender but never any character stuff. This is such a great tutorial, and it's awesome to jog the memory if you haven't been doing anything in blender for a few months. Good stuff.
This is very useful for someone who thinks they know 2D design in something like Photoshop but is overwhelmed in 3D space. Appreciate the use of hotkeys and manipulation too.
I was super scared to get into modeling because of Blender, but once I started watching this, Blender became much easier to figure out and use!! Recommending this to all of my friends!
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.
When i got my current laptop, i told myself that one of the first thing i was going to do with it is learn 3d modeling. It's been over a year and i'm just getting started. It's crazy how i procrastinated for so long on something so easy.
Subscribed! This tutorial, to me, was a true tutorial! I've watched countless other tutorials, and while they all show informative ways to accomplish certain aspects of Blender, NONE of them seemed to take me through the steps of a true noob to 3D modeling in Blender! I've been researching 3D modeling software for several months now, even including some of the pricier ones, and could not grasp the concept of what to do as a true beginner. You take us through the steps of downloading, installing, and starting a 3D model, then walk us through till the end. An ABSOLUTE Beginners Tutorial! Many many thanks! I watched this video several times and made several models following your instruction. I believe I have a good understanding of the basics and feel ready to progress. Now, to continue with some of your other videos! 😄
Very clear and concise tutorial! I was able to follow along with every step, get a decent looking result and an understanding of what I actually did to get to that point, thank you!
A very good video. Its going to take me a very long time to digest this video and apply it but I'm looking forward to it. Thank you for the clear and direct instruction with little left to question. The keyboard shortcuts are very hard for me to remember but once I get those down, I think I'll be able to tackle my model easier.
hello . thank you so much for this amazing tutorial , I was overwhelmed by this program, and couldn't open it for a long time, but now I finally decided to do and follow your tutorial and I managed to create something, thank you very much the only problem I faceed is that sometimes (only sometimes) , after scaling an edge or extruding, I see that additional vertices are being created which messes those parts, I might be adding them by mistake , but do you know a way to avoid that?
I ran into this problem kinda often myself and I think I have narrowed it down to what causes it for me and a solution to avoid it. So, for me, if I try to select a face the way that he does by just clicking it I am able to. However, when I try to extrude, move, rotate, or scale that face it creates additional vertices and edges that are unexpected. The cause for this from what I have noticed is because when I click to select the face it selects just that, the face only. What it does not select is the edges and vertices so that they extrude, move, rotate, or scale with the face. It caused me a bit of headache until I figured it out but for me the best solution is selecting with the selector tool in the form of clicking and dragging. Later when I get into more detailed work and such this may become a problem but I will find a solution then as well.
@@Yazoon_S I actually ran into further problems and found the true cause. When you go to extrude but change your mind it still creates an extrusion although it is invisible. What it actually does is it moves the extrusion point, which is the face, away from the edges. If you are in Wireframe mode with face select on you will notice black dots on the edges and centers of faces. This is not normal. The black dots should only appear in the center of the face so to fix this you can select everything (hotkey "A") and either hit hotkey ("M") for merge or go to the Mesh at the top of edit mode and hit Merge and Merge By Distance. Another alternative to fixing this is going to the Mesh menu and clicking Clean Up then Degenerate Dissolve. What these methods do is eliminate zero area faces and bring them to the proper edges. I ran into one edge that would not Merge By Distance so I had to Degenerate Dissolve it. Also if you notice 2 or more dots in the center of a face you have a duplicate face and this too can cause issues. You can click the dots and delete unwanted faces.
@@toddg5966 oh!, extruding does happen even if we cancel it? , interesting! I see, thanks A BUNCH for your help, I screenshot your solution and can't wait to try it soon ^^
@@Yazoon_S Its confusing that extruding happens even though it is cancelled but I am sure it has its uses. You are welcome though. Hopefully everything works out well for you.
I am so thankful! With the very basic knowledge of how to navigate through Blender I had no problem of following your tutorial and I've still learned so much! I really enjoyed how precise you explained every detail! Through this I think that I've even regained some motivation to keep on learning Blender after I tried it once, but it just tired me out how slow the progress is at the start. I guess it just takes some time, wish me luck!
Nvm, I just removed the cube altogether and created a new one, started all over and then it worked lol I must have pressed something by accident, dunno what though.
I dont think you should underrate this tutotial. This is one of the key tasks to start with as an indi, and even with prior experience in 3DS max, this was just what I needed to get on track with blender and build a prototype model but more importantly get familiar with hotkeys etc in Blender. The only thing I really wanted that you didnt cover is how to cut a new line in accross a poly, as in just 1 cut. Im sure Ill find out soon enough, but to take your model to the next level, you need at least this just to cut in custom geometry. I suppose this might confuse new modelers however, as then you need to think about topology. Anywho, thanks so much I really appreciate it. Where do I send my donation HAHA
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.
Thank you One minute in I’ve sculpted a head shape Which I mainly have done by looking things up and exploring the app But I’ve sculpted a head shape and I am proud
Honestly, thank you so much for this tutorial, I had no idea where to even mildly begin with using blender, but this helps so much with getting the basics down!
easily the most helpful tutorial i've watched yet! teaches stuff as you go, which is so nice compared to throwing everything in your face then expecting us to remember it. im looking at my render like wow!! I just made this, the first thing i've ever made and it looks so good! awesome video : )
This is amazing! Thank you so much. I had no clue how to even start. I went through the whole video and worked alongside on my own human. Took me 2 hours but time so well spent!
I just downloaded Blender a week ago, and i can say for sure this tutorial it's amazing. You explained the basics really really well. Great job and thanks !!!! :) you won a follower !
for some reason i had trouble with the head when i added the surface modifier (it created giant holes that took hours to fix), so mine came out less low poly, but amazing video i had a ton of fun following along and learning the program!
this video was so helpful for me not only learning how to model humanoid shapes but also feeling comfortable in the program movie around and experimenting afterwards :)
This was very helpful since I used Cad and SketchUp in school, so I was familiar with key commands. But this is a great starting point since I always thought blender modeling was a bit scary. Would recommend.
23:55 If you are not able to grow the selection by hitting crtl +, you need to use the + on your numeric keypad. It doesn't work with the plus key on the regular keyboard.
This is great. Thank you. If I had a small request, it would be to ask you to make a part 2, where you develop the details of the head and body with the correct edge topology. In other words, something that starts low poly like this and ends up with a eyes, nose, mouth, chest, hands, feet, etc without having an unmanageable mesh.
Thank you so much, I have been looking for tutorials ever since i got my PC cause I always wanted to try making a game and this tutorial just got me 1 step closer keep up the great work man! 😁👍 Edit: My PC crashed before i got to save and i have to start over 😭
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
ctrl+shift gets even more precise
top middle you can also select what you’d like to snap it to: increment, vertex, etc
@@kurayami1 and if it's being a little weird, you can always right click and manually snap the selected vertices
Hope I've helped some people out :) Also thank you to those who have left more tips here
Alt+F4 also smoothes the sharp corners, very useful
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.
You went from a potato, to Mr.Potato.

Also you taught us how to make PS1 models, so extra points for you.
Huge W, congrats!
I took a break at 22:54 my head was hurting soo far i did decent even though it looks like a water downed version of this
well you could watch the tutorial on your phone and do it on the comp ryt...tip for next time
I am 34 years old, i never thought i can sit in a room and understand, with 98% precision, how to do this. Thank you Pix, you are a Genius!!!
Who is following but can’t keep up without pausing and rewinding 🤚
This happened to me a LOT when I started using tools like Unity and Godot.
Just keep working on it and pretty soon it'll feel like the TEACHER is trying to keep up with YOU! ❤
slowing down the video works for me
😂😂me
Same. It’s not a bad thing, but going slower would be helpful for people who have never opened up Blender before
I couldn't keep up while pausing and rewinding 😭
First tutorial I actually followed through. My model didn't come out as good, but a great learning experience overall
Me, too! Mine looks like a weird human alien something. But who cares!! If it’s good in your eyes, it’s good.
Have you had the problem where every action creates new surfaces ? Like rotation creating an extrusion? I try to rotate the upper surface but it ends up creating a new surface instead of moving the original block itself

I was scratching my head as to what caused the extra vertices while following this tutorial. Now I know why. Thank you.

22:49
That feeling when a low poly model has better dance moves than you.
At 16:10 after selecting the face of the object click on the 'Move' button on the left side of the screen OR press G which is easier, and that is how to drag the legs, you're welcome to anyone who needed to know
This didn't work for me, just added another block on the end of the legs, whereas I just want to extend those same leg pieces down
i didnt watch the whole tutorial but i learned the half of the blender with just a simple tutorial thank you for that :)

Through this I think that I've even regained some motivation to keep on learning Blender after I tried it once, but it just tired me out how slow the progress is at the start.
I guess it just takes some time, wish me luck!
im so lost, every time I try to do the thing at 13:42 it makes a new thing instead of staying attached.
Same here.
Nvm, I just removed the cube altogether and created a new one, started all over and then it worked lol
I must have pressed something by accident, dunno what though.
8:58 is when it starts
thank you vry much
I like how you put the keywords on the bottom left corner to show what key your typing. This helped me alot to know what key to use.
I dont think you should underrate this tutotial. This is one of the key tasks to start with as an indi, and even with prior experience in 3DS max, this was just what I needed to get on track with blender and build a prototype model but more importantly get familiar with hotkeys etc in Blender. The only thing I really wanted that you didnt cover is how to cut a new line in accross a poly, as in just 1 cut. Im sure Ill find out soon enough, but to take your model to the next level, you need at least this just to cut in custom geometry. I suppose this might confuse new modelers however, as then you need to think about topology. Anywho, thanks so much I really appreciate it. Where do I send my donation HAHA
oh we could use any updated version in Blender 4.2, not sure if anything has changed but man would really appreciate that.
love the shift+alt combo, it changes my keyboard language and switches my y and z keys everytime i use it
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.
Thank you
One minute in I’ve sculpted a head shape
Which I mainly have done by looking things up and exploring the app
But I’ve sculpted a head shape and I am proud
Mirror Modifier is what I keep coming back to on this one! Thanks again for the great tutorial.
I'm a beginner on blender and 3d modeling and this really helped me understand the basics! Ty for this vid.
I love how my model turned out, thanks! My first time using blender and I am incredibly satisfied with the result
Honestly, thank you so much for this tutorial, I had no idea where to even mildly begin with using blender, but this helps so much with getting the basics down!
Haven’t tried this tutorial yet but it seems really exciting! I’ll leave an edit so you can know when I’ve tried it.
easily the most helpful tutorial i've watched yet! teaches stuff as you go, which is so nice compared to throwing everything in your face then expecting us to remember it. im looking at my render like wow!! I just made this, the first thing i've ever made and it looks so good! awesome video : )
As an absolute beginner, thanks for this tutorial, it was great and easy to follow along
This is amazing! Thank you so much. I had no clue how to even start. I went through the whole video and worked alongside on my own human. Took me 2 hours but time so well spent!
words can’t describe how thankful i am for this!! you’re such a life saver!!
Great video ! Really appreciated showing the keys in the bottom left, nobody else does that and it make their videos harder to follow
I just downloaded Blender a week ago, and i can say for sure this tutorial it's amazing. You explained the basics really really well. Great job and thanks !!!! :) you won a follower !
took me to hours to make but now i can use your formula to go wild. thank you!
for some reason i had trouble with the head when i added the surface modifier (it created giant holes that took hours to fix), so mine came out less low poly, but amazing video i had a ton of fun following along and learning the program!
This is not for beginers very complicated
He actually made it a lot simpler and easier
Best tutorial ever I'm a beginner and all the other tutorials are very short and low-detailed
Handsdown the best beginners' channel. I followed this video and i have been able to do it on my first attempt!
Спасибо, наконец-то гайд который действительно объясняет нужные вещи
Best tutorial on youtube ever! Still perfect in 2024 as well, instantly subscribed and will be watching more :D
Such a easy tutorial, thank you so much! This helped A LOT! Easy for beginners, and people who JUST started blender! Thanks for your help man.
THANK YOU SO MUCH I WAS LOOKING FOR TUTORIALS EVERYWHERE THIS IS FIREEE
this video was so helpful for me not only learning how to model humanoid shapes but also feeling comfortable in the program movie around and experimenting afterwards :)
This was very helpful since I used Cad and SketchUp in school, so I was familiar with key commands. But this is a great starting point since I always thought blender modeling was a bit scary. Would recommend.
23:55 If you are not able to grow the selection by hitting crtl +, you need to use the + on your numeric keypad. It doesn't work with the plus key on the regular keyboard.
Thanks so much! I was a little stuck here
This is hands down the best tutorial video ive ever watched of any topic. Thank you my guy.
im starting in blender and this helped me a lot, its still mesh to figure out but im slowly working on it
I almost gave up on learning blender, but after doing this detailed tutorial I am very very hopeful that a person like me can also learn.
This is great. Thank you. If I had a small request, it would be to ask you to make a part 2, where you develop the details of the head and body with the correct edge topology. In other words, something that starts low poly like this and ends up with a eyes, nose, mouth, chest, hands, feet, etc without having an unmanageable mesh.
Thank you so much, I have been looking for tutorials ever since i got my PC cause I always wanted to try making a game and this tutorial just got me 1 step closer keep up the great work man! 😁👍 Edit: My PC crashed before i got to save and i have to start over 😭
