The mannequin is very useful but you gave me some precious extra tips like double press on the axis and flip duplicates! Thanks a lot!

This is by far the best blender tutorial I’ve ever seen, you actually explain everything and show your keyboard shortcuts. Most people make a video but rush so quickly and skip steps but when I watched this I actually understood and can now understand blender. I appreciate it and I can now start making characters for my game

Yes rigging, animation, adding clothes and weight painting and exporting to game engines please.

“You can press alt+z to enter wireframe mode”

8:36 "S then Z twice".
OMG where have you been all my life?!

[APa]

Keep going, you're the best! Your 2.8 videos got me back into 3D modelling.

[xantishayde-walker]

Yes, rigging and animation tutorials would be wonderful!
Also, weight painting tutorial. That is a PAIN!

This was the first video I watched for learning Blender, and I love it! It has been so useful for me. It also inspired me to share my own video about Blender From Scratch. I specifically enjoy the clarity with which you explain every step. You really helped me out big time!

I love TF2 and after using a tool in GMOD to put on cosmetics I realized something.
They separate the torso, arms, legs and head to separate objects so they can be replaced with a different model for a cosmetic.
I would love a tutorial on this. To for example have one part of the torso whole, and another where it's blown open. Giving the ability to switch the two in game when hit with a rocket or a headshort.
The way they deal with headshots is a little funny. They shrink the head to a dot and add a separate model of a cut off neck on top. Or just leave the weird shrunken part as it is.


Making a whole model is great. But what about when you have multiple pants, chains and other clothing accessories to one model? Or cutting their arm off.
And they have to model and rig it all so it's connected somehow so the arm doesn't separate from the shoulder in some animation glitch but being connected AND being able to switch it out instantly when needed..

Grant, your tutorials are excellent - I'm a beginner-intermediate blender user and I love how your tutorials are clear and methodical, yet not patronizing. I don't feel disheartened by the skill gap, but empowered to put my own flavour into things. Thank you very much and greetings from Aotearoa New Zealand

This is simply one of the best tutorials out there. It's paced fast enough to not lose interest, with useful hints on shortcuts, their functions, and everything is communicated
In a clear well structured manner.

[gamepad-coder]

You're the Bob Ross of 3D Art.

Your clarity, detailed and concise instructions of tools and steps, cadence, and flow all make learning approachable and fun.

Thanks for doing this for humanity.
I'm glad you exist.

[Jean-ulue]

Your tutorials are just so so easy to understand for a begginer like me it's like I am attending a University class for editing eveeytime I watch your tutorials, I just noticed that I find it really happy when I am editing and I am also planning to learn animating btw I am planning to add some persons beside the Well that I am doing right now with the tutorial that you made and incorporate this tutorial there ❤

[TacoBear_Studios]

This is just what I was looking for!!! I taught myself how to swim by jumping into the deep end not by continuing padding in the shallow end of the pool. Thanks for this.

[AdrianLignosD]

all of your tutorials are so wonderful and helpful I really can't thank you enough. Something in particular that I really appreciated was how you explained how to fix the duplicated arm. It was SO clear why it went wrong and how to fix it because of your explanation. The little things like that can trip up a noobie so easily so I think its great you pay close attention to stuff like that. Thanks a million.

As someone who can draw, I can say that, while you def CAN go without a reference, It takes some getting used to and if you're new at this like me, just use a reference.

[mediocreatbest]

13:47 for the timelapse. Thank you so so much! You sparked my interest with modeling anatomy and physiology!

[forrkwidd]

Ive been trying to model simple characters for a while, and this was the first tutorial that really helped me

[lostsignal]

I litterally just made my first low poly figure yesterday and NOW this video is shown to me. I'm still gonna wacth this of course, but WOW the timing!!

[Alander]

This and also some rigging and animation would be perfect as a whole.
