Notes for newer blender users/anyone wondering which commands he is using: - Pressing "J" with 2 verts selected will draw an edge on an existing face - Pressing "F" with 2 verts selected and hovering your mouse on the next one will auto fill faces like he does here 15:20 - Pressing "G" to move a vert then "G" again will move that vert along the axis of any adjacent edge of your choosing - Alt + V will "rip" an edge forming new geometry
Of course. Although some tutorials are well done, they aren’t really good to learn with imo. A lot of them teaches you how to make x, or y. But what I find alot more important to learn is not how to make x, but rather the thinking process behind everything. The stuff that makes your brain creak from thinking is the stuff that makes you learn properly. It’s why people who learn on the job, or language learners in a foreign country are so efficient at learning. They are forced to learn, and they make their brain work overtime with information that has to be processed. Following a step by step tutorial doesn’t hold a candle to it unfortunately.
@@oh-noe i would argue that a step by step is good for basics, but once you have that down, and you can follow along with someone like shonzo here, you're better off with these kind of videos
@@shadowsketch926 To a certain extent, yes. Don't expect to learn from this video if you've never used blender before. Once you get the basic controls down, this video will be a lot more useful. I personally had no experience modeling characters in blender, and this video did teach me a lot and I've made something I'm actually proud of because of it.

Anyways, thank you Shonzo for the video :)
I'm going to re-watch this more than I should because I want to eventually get better at blender. But your comment about the concept art ay the beginning reminds me of a video somewhere from the algorithm whose sole purpose was to rant about how you should never give your artist 3D modeling unfriendly concept art.
@@ramazer7364 ditto, I've been eager to try and find the right artists to learn humanoid modelling from and it's been tough, this is definitely saved for later for when I jump to this kind of modeling though
And it bothers me to no end because concept art isn't what they actually want -- the type of artwork they're describing is called a model sheet or character turnaround. If Shonzo and Rainhet just replaced every instance of the phrase "concept art" with "model sheet" in their respective commission forms, it would probably cut down on the amount of unworkable commissions they each get considerably
@@DreamyAileen True but Shonzo also has plenty of videos where he explains what kind of art he wants and that, unless it is something that really peaks his interest, he will flat out reject it. Still, making it clear and maybe providing an example in the form wouldn't be a bad idea.
Just watching this massively improved my method of making models. I was over complicating the process a lot. You've saved me probably weeks of time. Thanks for sharing this.
This was very helpful, great to rewatch parts n such. I watch him on Twitch as well. Depending on the day can find him covering different parts of the whole character modeling, texturing, and rigging processes
I had studied 3d modeling for like 2 years on a school and I have learned more with this video in general than all that 2 years. Thaks a lot dude, even your workflow is more comfy for work than the one that they teached me.
Honestly, any progress I’ve made on my models has come from watching your streams and general workflow- this only helps so much more! I owe what I know to you sharing your work with us. :) thank you so much, Shonzo!
Thank you so much for this. This both shows and explains the modeling process a lot better than other tutorials I have found. in less than 3 hours, I got almost an entire model of Muu Muyu and I greatly appreciate the help as an armature Blender user
man, thanks for this video, it helped a lot! I'm just starting to study the blender, and it's very unclear how to do retopology, but your video really helped in this, I'll run rather try on my concept art

What makes this video helpful is that you discuss your theory and thought process openly. While a regular tutorial might include steps to how to make something specific, that isn't very helpful considering you'll only know how to do that one thing instead of having the ability to make it yourself. This is a common issue with tutorials, and one I've seen a lot in programming.
This is a first for me. Most of the videos I've seen where models are made, they start from the face to the head and down. This is my first time seeing feet-up building.
This is far better than a tutorial - it shows how to actually work, rather than messing around with nonsense concepts like workflow or standardization.
I only just skipped a bit through for now but i can already tell that i will be coming back. Looks like a really good Video to start learning character modelling 👌🏻
@10:23 how did you duplicate that edge and keep it attached to the mesh? i've been trying to know how that works or what the command is for that action but i have no idea how you did it
Hello Shonzo. One question. The VTube model that you used during your video is something you did?. Is that something that anyone (....eventually) could make with Blender?. What stuff you do you use to track the movement and rig it to the model?. Thank you. BTW you make it look easier, but blender is kind of confusing for some
It's his mascot avatar that he modeled and rigged himself, yes it was mostly created using Blender and someone with a lot of time, experience and skill could do it. Honestly Blender is great, even if you are just a beginner or casual you can just create cool stuff with it. Here is the video of him creating this avatar and rigging it: ruclips.net/video/eOU7Slx3lFw/видео.html ruclips.net/video/f8S3aY5wL-I/видео.html
@@svmei Woah, thank you for the vids. All this world of models is very cool. I would like one day to model my own, but when I see the work of others I feel like there is a huge gap between them and me
amazing skills, i got recently into blender i can't believe what iam seeing, i wanna learn to make a characters like you! and i see it requires alot of practice and knowledge on how to use the tools properly.
Love Shonzo’s videos as usual 😊😊😊 can someone explain what he does at 10:16 please? I noticed that he uses F to create an edge and cut the quad into two tris but the sorcery after that was too quick for me to understand 😭😭 I just wish he’d put screencast keys on more often 😅😅
Ok it took me probably 30 minutes to figure out what the F he is doing, so he makes the edge in the middle of that square right? so he selects that bottom vert and selects a vert on the behind using ctrl + right click to select all the verts in that line, then he does Alt + V to do a rip fill after this he dissolves the new bottom edge that was created from the first edge, and then does an edge loop over the crotch to make that tri into a quad.
It won't be so bad, but it depends on what the model is expected to do. Simple topology like this should be fine for what people do in VR chat and most streams
Yeah, in general it helps to keep things quads and no pole vertices at areas that stretch much. I've seen some other modelers also get more efficient meshes by angling the edge loops around limbs and such too so less are needed. Flow follows definition more or less.
im completely new to blender and this video really helped me out but, I keep on getting stuck on how to do the crotch ( around 5:17 ). How do I connect the two legs and do the simple connections?
i think I just figured it out. if anyone is wondering like i was ill post the (hopefully correct) steps below. -when you add the subdivision surface modifier set viewport to zero.(not required but helped me with it being more lowpoly) -extrude the closest vertices in the crotch area over to the other side of your mirror. -now turn on clipping and pull your overlapping crotch to the center as far as you can. now that you have the crotch, the simple connections are done like this: -go to your next vertice to the front of the crotch on the leg and extrude it to the center. -now select that vertice and the one below it and click "f". (this will bridge the gap between the vertices) -now select the four corners of the shape you just created and click "f". (this will fill in the shape) hope that helps somebody 👍
@@yelfog Thank you so much for this! I've been melting my brain over trying to figure this out and figured i'd search the comments for a possible answer. You are awesome!
Hello Shonzo, I really love your work, you really learn a lot. But I have a question, how do you make the clay brush take out geometry in sculpture mode to shape the butt and thighs? I tried it but it didn't work for me, what it does is crush the geometry😓😓
Hello Shonzo, please tell me how do you make those stars on your hips and knees so fast? I'm trying to keep up with it, but I can't due to the speed of the video and the lack of comments.
So I'm working on making my first model and I'm a bit confused, when he was connecting the legs at 5:25 he used a curve or something and then added a new vertex inside of it, what do I need to press and how do I do that.
It's not a curve. He has a mirror and subdivision modifier on. He selected the vertex then hit e to extrude it. When he moved it to the middle of the mirror, (He has clipping and merge on) the subdivision modifier averaged it out and connected it with the mirrored vertex.
This isn't a tutorial because I see you doing stuff and I'm like "how do you do that?" so I end up teaching myself with google and looking at what you do xc you're so good at it aaa
I learned things. Such as creating models is hard and I can't make a booty as good as you. I gave up before even making it to the torso lmao. At least now I know how to use blender somewhat xc@@Shonzo
Hey! At 3:27 what key is he pressing for that? Ive only followed basic bare bone tutorials and im not sure how to go about doing that (where he adds on stuff to it)
You said at the beginning at the video that you make the characters twice long that they actually are . It's for details reason? And I love your work, it's very inspiring! (Sorry if my English is broken it not my first language)
I know this is isn't a tutorial, but I would love it if you had your keyboard inputs shown on the screen, as there are a few times where I am not quite sure what you are actually doing when you are editing your topology. =)
what are those lines under the vertical lines? he has the lines that show up on the actual mesh I don't know if that's important or not but I just wanted to ask ahead of time also what the heck did he do at 6:59
so for the lines you have to go to overlays at the top right hand corner of the viewport beside xray and find "wireframe" under geometry, and for the timestamp as far as i can tell he selects the vertices in each corner of that face and merges the vertices in the center by pressing 'M' then selected the bottom and right edges from the smaller face that was created and dissolved them (ctrl+x)
I just hope blender have basic human/anime body models default and people who not good at 3d modeling can doing it easier. Something like vroid but advanced.
im really new to blender and kinda dumb, how do you get the vertices to connect when trying to make the crotch/ connect the legs. I tried using M at center but it doesnt seem right
I really enjoyed watching your previous videos and that hooked me on making this as well but i have a question Did most of your model you have created is on low poly or high poly and why?does the poly differentiation affect the future adjustment like texturing or movement set? Because the model that i made is like low poly so i do want to know this beforehand
The goal is to make a proper quad topology that allow to use subdivision to get a wide range of poly count all from the same base model. So there is no actual high poly model used when working and animating. This way there is no need to wonder about poly count as the base model usually end up with relatively low poly anyway. If required then the higher poly model is subdivided from the lower poly one and the details sculpted on these surface. This way the high poly smooth curve and little details can be loaded only when rendering. Or they can be baked into normal mapping textures for real time render like game and Vtuber. By the way it is possible to convert MMD model to quad and un-subdivide them in edit mode with blender. This way we get a lower poly version that is easier to modify and animate. Then after use the subdivision modifier when rendering to make them smoother than they were before.
@@gg-rd5wp for the timestamp as far as i can tell he selects the vertices in each corner of that face and merges the vertices in the center by pressing 'M' then selected the bottom and right edges from the smaller face that was created and dissolved them (ctrl+x)
I'd recommend 1 because merging meshes gets really messy source: used like 8 separate meshes to make 1 model when I was starting out and it was a nightmare
How to do so that the vertices in the axis do not collapse? I activated the symmetry option and when I move they separate from the middle, or they come together and go inside.
A teacher of mine once said it's bad for beginners to model while subdivision is active, personally I think it blinds the person to the actual movement of the mesh and it's boundaries. If you have the experience though, it's fine!

-when you add the subdivision surface modifier set viewport to zero.(not required but helped me with it being more lowpoly)
-extrude the closest vertices in the crotch area over to the other side of your mirror.

now that you have the crotch, the simple connections are done like this:
-go to your next vertice to the front of the crotch on the leg and extrude it to the center.
-now select that vertice and the one below it and click "f". (this will bridge the gap between the vertices)
-now select the four corners of the shape you just created and click "f". (this will fill in the shape)
hope that helps somebody 👍

day 365 I will comeback to this video and try to follow along with you
Hey! At 3:27 what key is he pressing for that? Ive only followed basic bare bone tutorials and im not sure how to go about doing that (where he adds on stuff to it)
You said at the beginning at the video that you make the characters twice long that they actually are . It's for details reason?
And I love your work, it's very inspiring!
(Sorry if my English is broken it not my first language)
Unity. It tends to mess up shape keys if characters are not scaled big enough!
@@Shonzo I have to ask do you draw or paint traditionally?
Shonzo: "lets do some basic connections"
my stupid ass: HOW DID YOU DO THAT
Thank you for your contribution sir!
Am I the only one who learns modeling from Shonzo's videos?
I know this is isn't a tutorial, but I would love it if you had your keyboard inputs shown on the screen, as there are a few times where I am not quite sure what you are actually doing when you are editing your topology. =)
what are those lines under the vertical lines? he has the lines that show up on the actual mesh I don't know if that's important or not but I just wanted to ask ahead of time also what the heck did he do at 6:59
Same problem did you manage to do it? How?
so for the lines you have to go to overlays at the top right hand corner of the viewport beside xray and find "wireframe" under geometry, and for the timestamp as far as i can tell he selects the vertices in each corner of that face and merges the vertices in the center by pressing 'M' then selected the bottom and right edges from the smaller face that was created and dissolved them (ctrl+x)
I just hope blender have basic human/anime body models default and people who not good at 3d modeling can doing it easier.
Something like vroid but advanced.
im really new to blender and kinda dumb, how do you get the vertices to connect when trying to make the crotch/ connect the legs. I tried using M at center but it doesnt seem right
I can't wait until I find my own workflow so I can just go at it like this one day
I really enjoyed watching your previous videos and that hooked me on making this as well but i have a question
Did most of your model you have created is on low poly or high poly and why?does the poly differentiation affect the future adjustment like texturing or movement set?
Because the model that i made is like low poly so i do want to know this beforehand
The goal is to make a proper quad topology that allow to use subdivision to get a wide range of poly count all from the same base model. So there is no actual high poly model used when working and animating. This way there is no need to wonder about poly count as the base model usually end up with relatively low poly anyway.
If required then the higher poly model is subdivided from the lower poly one and the details sculpted on these surface. This way the high poly smooth curve and little details can be loaded only when rendering. Or they can be baked into normal mapping textures for real time render like game and Vtuber.
By the way it is possible to convert MMD model to quad and un-subdivide them in edit mode with blender. This way we get a lower poly version that is easier to modify and animate. Then after use the subdivision modifier when rendering to make them smoother than they were before.
For some reason the mirror modifier isn't working on the circle. Am I missing something?
I didn't get his comment at the start. You have to make things twice the size they are supposed to be or that's just his workflow?
What should I do to do the same as at minute 6:59?
Hello Same problem. How did you do it?
@@dontnowatimdoing446 Is it in the part where it makes like a kind of circle?
@@gg-rd5wp for the timestamp as far as i can tell he selects the vertices in each corner of that face and merges the vertices in the center by pressing 'M' then selected the bottom and right edges from the smaller face that was created and dissolved them (ctrl+x)
Why on 5:17 his extrude is rounded but mine is square??? help pls....
Do i need to use one shape to make a character or can i make seperate parts and connect them later?
I'd recommend 1 because merging meshes gets really messy
source: used like 8 separate meshes to make 1 model when I was starting out and it was a nightmare
How to do so that the vertices in the axis do not collapse? I activated the symmetry option and when I move they separate from the middle, or they come together and go inside.
A teacher of mine once said it's bad for beginners to model while subdivision is active, personally I think it blinds the person to the actual movement of the mesh and it's boundaries. If you have the experience though, it's fine!
Awesome topology, lov it 👍❤️💖💕🦊
Shonzo doesn't say "Zaaaaamn 👀" to pretty women, but to good topology.
Love the video!!
Also on a random note, is the BGM here from Genshin Impact or somewhere else?👀👀
