Yes! I don't know about you guys but I'm gonna be following this myself... No more programmer art! ;)
interesting
Brackeys I didnt think you watched sebastian 😀
I feel the same way, I've also recently purchased Clip Studio paint as well as Spriter. I think being able to do both sides will help me prototype things much easier, as well as save myself a little money during that stage.
you guys are awesome I always watch your tutorials
you guys are awesome I always watch your tutorials
I always thought 3D modelling was magic. Now that I've made a person from a cube, I'm convinced it's magic.
The Bible and evolution theorists where wrong all along!!! Humans were already made in a ancient 3D programm and 3D Printed. We all have the same Basemesh but we are all a bit randomized! Dont listen to those liars D:
@@mok6702 Don't try to joke ever again
joke?
Mo K yes
@@1zc5 It's not a joke it's reality.
2.8 people - add the reference images as an empty
SHIFT+A -> Empty -> Image
Open the image via the Object data tab (above the Texture tab)
Then rotate the images as needed to be able to view from the front and the side. And change transparency under the Object data tab.
*Note:* The images are visible in both Perspective and Orthographic modes in 2.8.
or there is another way, too.
SHIFT+A > Image > Background. It works similar with background options in 2.79
Thanks!
If anyone else is reading this, go to the view you want the image for and search for command "load background image". It makes the process much easier.
THANK YOUUUU!
@@TheAmubis just adding that you need to be in the right view and then add background image. So go first Num 1, then add front image as background, then go Num 3 and add side image as background.
For anyone wondering how to delete the double vertexes when attaching the arms in Blender 2.8
Snap the arm into place, then select everything, go into vertex select mode and right click, at the bottom you'll find Merge Vertices -> By Distance.
That's it :)
thank you so much :)
You can also select all in edit mode, and hit alt + m to do the same thing :)
thank you!
THAAAANK YOOOU! :)
Question: How do you do the opposite of this. (Blender 2.79 lol)
Started this video having no knowledge about 3D modeling. Came out with a 3D model of a (rough) human. 10/10
picture as reference?
i am looking for a team
anyone interested pls reply
i am not an expert but i am also not looking for an expert
are you looking for a team ???
what sort of team? im fairly decent at 3d modeling if thats what your looking for
yes pls msz me on facebook

I just want to say, even though I've watched this video dozens of times over the last 3 years, I still come back to it for a refresher all the time. Even after multiple updates to Blender, and new channels popping up over the years, this is STILL the best character modelling video on RUclips. Sebastian, you should be very proud of what you accomplished here, because it is a masterclass in learning how to model a CORRECT character. So many other tutorials are either just a speedlapse that doesn't really teach anything, or badly done tutorials that actually teach the WRONG ways to do things. But this is excellent. Anyone reading this if you are new to Blender, or 3D modelling in general, this is the one you want to follow.
For anybody working in Blender 2.9 and looking for the subdivide smooth option at 21:04. After going into edit mode, press ctrl+E to open the edge tools method then click subdivide and in the menu that pops up increase smoothness to 1.
Thks buddy. I was searching for this for like an hour. If I had not seen this, I would have just added a sphere for the head and mess up my model. Not that it's not messed up now.
Thx
ty
Thank you! You just saved me a bunch of time! Was almost ready to go down the documentation rabbithole to find this specific thing. Your comment should be higher :/
What do you think of some artist using a single plane to do this? I am trying that method because he shows how to do the mouth, teeth and tounge. But I am liking this guy's video here for background characters, but I'm always interested in speeding up my work if quality doesn't suffer.
Noobie here, using blender 2.82. I couldn't open the Specials menu using W as referenced in 9:46. I found the Shade Smooth option by going in object mode and right-clicking to open the menu. Hope this helps. :)
Helps very much, thank you
yeah it worked for me thank you so much
real life saver thanks
Hello! This is the first episode in a series on creating the character graphics for the Unity RPG series. You're welcome, of course, to watch these videos independently of the RPG series, if you're just interested in learning more about Blender. This series does assume some basic familiarity with the software.
You can find a list of the keyboard shortcuts used in this video over here: github.com/SebLague/Blender-Shortcuts/blob/master/README.md (let me know if I'm missing anything).
The main portion of this playlist will cover:
Character modelling (you are here)
Rigging
Idle, walk, and run animations
Modelling clothing and hair
Modelling armour and weapons
Weapon attack animations
There will also be videos on creating a treasure chest (as one of the interactables for the game), and a skeleton (who is the enemy in the game).
Sebastian Lague Love your Videos! Love from Pakistan :)
Thanks :)
I always wanted to learn blender! Thanks for this video!
Sebastian Lague isn't this episode a re-upload?
How much different is this version going to be compared to your video a few years ago? I'm currently watching the Lynda.com course Blender Essential Training and am on chapter 4 (specifically, joining meshes!) I just started my first "creature" model. I know you didn't hit the removable armor in the other tutorial, but is much of the work process the same? Thanks for the tutorials they're awesome at least RUclips gets some good use from part of it's uploaders :D
This was my first time using blender, my version of the model is far from perfect but I'm proud of myself for making this first step!
JustANinjaOwl And I'm proud of you!
Did you ever follow up?
I must have pressed ctrl + R at least 10 times on this video accidentally making it reload and add another view. This is pure genius.
Good to see a series collaboration from 2 of the best teachers :D Good job guys!
Here we go.. This is where a great journey starts.
Yeah! xD
This is new fifa 19... hunters journey, character 😂
2.8+ Updates
-Adding in the reference images in 2.8 can be done by having nothing selected, and being in Object Mode and Pressing Shift+A, going to "Image" and then pressing "reference" and selecting the photo wherever it may be on your computer. Afterwards you might need to change its position, rotation and scaling of both of the photos to be aligned and match the video (I set the scaling to 3.5 for both photos).
-For the snapping tool, it will be located at the top, next to a magnet, there you can select Vertex and use the snapping feature.
-The "Remove Doubles" option has been replaced in 2.8 with "Merge Vertices," and when you hover over merge vertices, click on the "by Distance" option.
-Since "Subdivide Smooth" has been removed in 2.8x, the workaround would be to just "Subdivide" and then changing the smoothness to 1 on the lower left menu to get it that "smooth" shape.
Edit: adding in some more tips
The hero we need but don't deserve
@@11305205219 Im guessing you need the "merge" menu. For me only pressing "m" brought it up for me.
Thank you so much, I couldn't figure out how to subdivide smooth.
Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot, I was struggling.
This is by far the simplest and well done tutorial on this available on youtube. So easy for beginners to follow and recreate.
For those of you following in newer versions of Blender, the new UI removed the background image feature. Instead, use Add < Empty < Image. Using the empty menu on the default right hand panel (Properties Panel < Empties tab) you can control options of it such as transparency and if it should only be visible in orthagraphic view (preferrable).
Best Tutorial ever for Blender. Tryed a lot and give up 5 Times working with Blender. But your Tutorial just bring me back to the game. You should make more videos like this. Tempo is perfect, explanation is perfect and that you show the Shortcuts helps a lot!
for recently version, way to set background.
shift+a in object mode.
image -> background.
In scene collection, new empty Object would created.
click it, and click orange icon tab named object properties at properties editor on bottom right.
at transform, set rotate 90 0 0 for front, 90 0 90 for side.
check display front at the viewport display menu.
click red icon tab named object data properties
uncheck perspective at show in option.
check opacity and set value 0.3 or whatever you want.
open image to set background.
you are awesome
Thank you so much
helpful > I used image -> Reference in 3.0.1 and your other instructions, seems to work, the toggle/uncheck perspective step is more clear when we switch between orthographic and perspective modes in the next few steps. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for this series guys!
Really appreciate the work you've put in to it.
good job, i find it hard to get in game development but you and brackeys make it a bit more approchable
This was efficient, clearly explained, and extremely informative. Thank you so much for this video!
To merge Vertices now it’s
Alt + M and press B (Or choose By Distance)
update ,,its now just m
Awesome video. Using this as the basis of low poly characters for the game i'm working on. Thanks to you and Brackeys for your awesome tutorials.
Best Blender Tutorial ever
him: making art seriously*
me: "yes! make it *T H I C C* !!"
How have i just accidentally stumbled on the best tutorial for anything that ive ever seen. Ive used maya a bit before but this makes blender seem so much less scary than some people make it out to be
This was the most helpful explanation about making a simply full body without it being an entire playlist. That you
I'm crying.This is beyond amazing, thank you for this video 💙
one of the best blender tutorials i've ever seen
Press G twice = edge slide.
Ooh, nice one.
I've tried following TONS of 3d modeling tutorials and always ended up getting lost. I LOVE your style of tutorials, and how you continue to show the shortcuts you're using through the entire process. Most people do stuff like "press this button, or use this menu, to enter vertex mode" the first or second time they do it, then never tell you how again, so I'm constantly rewinding to look it up and usually messing up in the process. Your tutorials are so easy to follow, and it's easy to follow them while modelling something other than a human, which is awesome! Instant like/fave/sub from me.
I don't know what to say except wow. Watching a master carve even digitally is something to behold. Thanks for this. Just awesome content.
very nice that you and brackeys work together :p
I've used Blender and I didn't know you could 3D model character design. This guy has a future in editing game design
Easily the best character modelling tutorial i have watched. Huge thumbs up man!
World's most helpful tutorial ever. No, seriously. I wouldn't have started modelling without this video, thank you.
I usually won't comment on videos, but it's necessary for this one because I want to say... THANK YOU!
FOR BLENDER 2.8
remove doubles is gone, instead
right click ==> merge vertices ==> by distance
Thanks I tried to do that recently and it didnt work (double tap g)
THANK YOU!!
Thank you!
Don't set distance too much otherwise you merge vertices which are far away from each other
Thank you, very much appreciated
The innocence of this man, refraining from using any word that describes the crotch. He's the man for the people.
This is AMAZING. Thankyou thankyou. thankyou. the instructions are crystal clear, the pace is great and the reference material meant we could follow exactly. Ive tried a few tutorials and this is the first one that made me feel like i get blender. Looking forward to following you on patreon.
Hi Sebastian, I've watched all of your previous blender series wich were already good, but this one is even better and easier to follow ! Great job.
Me before watching this video: Oh, a 3D man, How am I gonna do that?
Me at 26:48 : I'm the Next Pixar
Subscribed, easiest decision I've made in my life.
wost nigaa
Simply brilliant videos Sebastian, awesome work! I'm gonna follow the whole series. Looking forward to the animation part of this series.
This is the best Blender tutorial I have ever seen!
Since Blender has gone under a massive update since this video was posted, it took me over FIVE HOURS TO FOLLOW ALONG WITH THIS TUTORIAL. Well, that and the face that this is literally the first time I've ever used the program, so I really suck at it right now.
"We won't be seeing the character without his clothes off too often hopefully" *me learning to make nsfw models* 0-0
So... How it's going?
I hope it's going well.
Hehe boy
Sauce?
@@yayaraft i like sauce?
Excellent explanation of each and every step at the right pace. Many thanks !
Yes! Subdivision, bridge edge loops, and remove duplicates.... You just opened the world up to me. I was struggling with this sort of thing so much. Thank you!
Nice video. I''m looking forward for the animation/rigging i have always really failed in this field.
Dude. You think you can do one for Blender 2.80? I'm having trouble trying to transfer this info on to that one.
This video is such an incredible beginning point.
It will help anyone wanting to learn how to start creating humanoid characters Blender.
*Simply and Utterly SUPERB video tutorial............... THANK YOU.*
Absolutely excellent! I will be following this a good number of times, while I create a player character and NPCs for my game world :)
This will make an excellent base for them!
OMG This is *exactly* what I've been looking for. A clearly explained and very simple body mesh.
Thank you so much. Excellent tutorial. Now my attempts at a human figure don't look like a deformed mutant from the Cursed Earth.
OMG This is *exactly* cringe what i've been looking for.
Am I the only one that is deeply annoyed when I press Ctrl R and the browser is still selected so it refreshes the page?
F
lol nope you're not alone. I have dual monitors and that shit always happens to me as well. It has to become second nature.
I didnt even knowed that shortcut... thought its only F5 :o
bruh stop this is a dead comment everyone says taht shit.
Great tutorial!! I followed along and made my own little 3D man. The tutorial was the right length - it's easy for these tutorials to get very lost on details (graphically nit picking the fine details of the model to the point of losing the audience). For the most part used a limited number of the tools, but used them multiple times to reinforce how they work. I really enjoyed this!
I can't believe I haven't seen this until now, this is one of the best damn free tutorials on creating a lowpoly basemesh in blender that I've seen, great job!
A marvellously clear and well explained tutorial, thank you!
I have a question: in most of the other tutorials I have seen the artists create the feet, head, hands, etc. by extruding from the existing geometry, so the whole thing is created by extrusion from the original object, whereas you make your hands, feet, etc. and then merge them into the model. Is there a technical reason that you use this method? Or is it a matter of personal preference?
7:42 "We won't be seeing the character's bum too oftenly" how dare you
About dame time. I have been thru Tutorial to territorial. None of them were as clear nor as consise as you. You have helped me more in this vid then 3 years of youtube. Thank you.
i Know im late to the party and many options are in diffrent places in the new version of blender .. but believe me im so glad i found your video even though i wont me making animations but sculpting miniatures for table top games. Thanks a lot and stay healthy
[sebastian finishes feet]
me: all right, all done
[sebastian creates a cube for the head]
me: oh, right. i forgot.
me too! You really don’t want to forget the head XD
Yo the character T H I C C
thanks so much - this was a really helpful - i was wanting to learn character box modelling and you do it really well. great pacing, lots of explanations, and straight to the point.
The most helpful video, thank you, I've made many different mesh but a couple things you did here I didn't know about and it made everything i do much easier now
Just so I would understand this tutorial better, I just went through a 12-hour tutorial with Blender Guru to make a doughnut, mug and plate. Suddenly this tutorial doesn't feel so alien.
Keep on keeping on....
Same, expect I stopped after part 5 I think and started going solo. Clearly it was enough to kick me in the butt and start learning.
exactly what i did
26 min video, 3 hours in and only halfway through.
The Dude This tutorial is not to teach you Blender from scratch. This is just to show how the process of character modeling works. Its to show those who have a basic understanding of Blender how to apply their Blender skills into making something like a person.
Most relatable comment ever. I like the fastness of it though. Makes it feel like I'm accomplishing stuff.
If you need 3 hours for 13 minutes tutorial, I would say you have to start smaller like the Donut tutorial.
seriously? dang I feel bad for you
i personally am taking taking forever to do this right now since I'm kinda being a perfectionist XD
Almost all my first steps I did in Blender were guided by your videos :) thanks for the sharing, and for this one new video especially :)
Thank you so much for this tutorial--I had to make a character for my Blender class and needed a great guide. And this was it.
2:25 already stuck... thanks 2.8
hi Sebastian lague, thanks for the awesome tuts.. i have a question, will you do the video tutorials for the ground, trees, rocks etc in your future episode?,
until then cheers:)
Currently only intend to cover the player (+equipment), the skeleton enemy and an interactable item (probably a treasure chest). However, may include some environment episodes at the end if it's a popular request.
Well I vote yes because this is a great tutorial and I'll be following
Sebastian Lague I'm late, but I vote yes as well lol. For the environment tutorial.
WOW just as I am attempting to make an adventure game you legends come out with this. :D Really appreciate you and brackeys.
Late to the party but thank you very much for this tut. No shitty techno soundtrack, amazingly easy to follow commentary, this is what all tuts should be like.
Me disabling clipping than enabling it for the hand cubes to be separate "the fbi is looking for me"
Okay I can't get past the section at 2:17
Everytime I try to make the mirror modifier, the square splits apart when I move it. It isn't connected. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
EDIT : I figured it out, I hadn't cut the square cleanly in half along the middle.
Turn on "clipping."
Thank you so much... I've used Blender twice before, but only made a mug and a chain. Now I am much more confident! I even decided to go for making articulated fingers, didn't even need to follow a guide because of this video.
great tutorial! already having a lot of fun with this already!
"Admire our HANDiwork. It's a little bit ugly, adMITTEDly."
I see what you did there.
geez Blender ui is insanely complicated! I used to work in 3DS Max, but this is just crazy! I finally managed to get front\side pics visible, but I cant see primitive cube anywhere, it is in object tree but not in viewport! what to do?
Does the cube have the open eye icon next to it in the object tree, meaning that it is visible? If not, toggle that on. You can also try pressing shift+C which will zoom the viewport to put all objects in view.
aaah for those having same problem, go to bottom left menu View and choose Show all layers!
Sebastian Lague yeah eye was on! shift c will come in handy for sure! thanks for quick help, keep up this great series :)
Well, blender UI is horrible to quick start, it takes time to get it handy. But after several weeks of using it I find it best interface among others. Everything is done by keyboard shortcuts, no stupid buttons, fast and easy work with model.
Lmao im in the same boat as you buddy
You literally made it so easy to understand. Great and simple video!
Wow Sebastian Laque I've been checking tutorial videos on RUclips about animations. you are the best of the best! I give you a crown man
THANKS!
I ALWAYS WANTED TO CREATE AN RPG BUT I'M NOT SO GOOD AT GRAPHIC DESIGNING ,
I'M JUST A GOOD PROGRAMMER.
I SEARCHED ALL THE RUclips, I FOUND A VID BY DARREN LILE BUT THOSE WERE TOO LONG.
THANKS AGAIN!
WAIT! WHY'S THIS CAPITAL , JUST I GOT CAPSL ON 😅
All those shortcuts... UGH!
I know all the shortcuts are a bit overwhelming, but they're super helpful to know. I've compiled a list that covers (I think) all of the ones used in this video + some extras. I hope that helps somewhat! github.com/SebLague/Blender-Shortcuts/blob/master/README.md
@Sebastian Lague: hey sebastian. really nice tutorial! Got just one remark/question: Could you maybe set your Screencast Mod (or whatever it is you're using) so that that there is a slight delay before the the buttons disappear on the screen? Because if you're pressing them in quick succession, it's hard to figure out which button it is you pressed before. As for instance in [sx0enter] etc. Think you did this in your other tutorials before. Would be bit easier to follow the list of command-inputs then. Looking forward to your coming tutorials!
That shortcuts are not that difficult to remember, as you think. Try watch some blender courses on youtube, they will explane each one of them.
Thanks for the cheatsheet :)
They become muscle memory the more you work with them! I just started simple and branched off. There are really helpful beginner tutorials which get you used to the UI. I am still learning basic things.
Holding down shift while using alt s and any other feels amazing compared to the normal clunky control. A small thing that makes modeling twice as fun and great, the smoothness makes me feel a lot more in control and less prone to messing it up randomly because of a random button
Very cool to see the Blender workflow
I'M GAY
Makes sense
I'm a complete beginner to Blender and this tutorial has been brilliant.
Absolutely LOVE the way he did his arms.
Good tutorial man, you explained everything in detail, great job!!!
Im gonna try this out, tysm for the reference images bro!
Omg thank you so much so many things were covered that I couldn't find when trying this on my own 😍
It's the best character creation tutorial I have watched
haven't seen a better tutorial , may god bless you bro .
Fantastic ! Very good to follow.
Man you made my day with this video.. Thank you
Wish I had notice this tutorial earlier, learned a lot of tricks.
Keep the good work!
Superb tutorial, especially as it includes the term 'nether regions' :D Pure class.
Took me 3 hours to follow from start to finish but this tutorial helped me a ton. Thank you.
That thing you did at the beginning with the pictures on the front and right is very helpful
Awesome tutorial! This really made me think out of the box Thank You!
So I've been subscribed to you because of the Coding Adventure series and today was looking on RUclips for blender tutorials. After watching maybe 10 tutorials that didn't help me at all, I found this video and it's fucking great. Maybe it's just your perfect voice, but everything immediately made sense.
Only after having watched the whole video did I notice that I already were subscribed to you and saw that you were the same guy I stumbled upon a few weeks ago.
Thank you very much for these videos!
