just a quick sidenote, if you've just installed blender and have no idea what he's doing, i'd recommend using blender guru's donut learning playlist and complete level 1 before trying this, just to learn the basics

"No harm will come to the default cube"
*cuts cube in half*

The hotkey he uses around 3:30 is "g" to drag vertices
At 5:40 he uses "s" and then "y" to scale along the y-axis.

2:11: "Ctrl + R, then ..."
*Forgets to click off of youtube and refreshes page*

Damn this was the longest 20 minute video I've ever watched

Would also be helpful if the Hotkeys you are using are visible and not hidden by the overlay

Me : **Turns on shading**

My PC : Bye! have a great time!

On a serious note, this tutorial was f'ing amazing. I had no clue about Blender when I started watching this and now I feel like I can do stuff with it

if anyone has an issue with the neck, at 8:10 ish, make sure you have "clipping" on, in the mirror settings. And the short key for extruding is E

he builds a low poly character in about 20 minutes. It takes me that long just to find the edit mode. 😂

Drinking game: take a shot everytime he says "little bit" or "kinda"

At the start of the video: "We won't delete the starting cube. But we will need to modify it a LITTLE bit."

At the end of the video, the starting cube has become the character!

Yesterday I made the Low Poly Island in 6 hours. Today I made the Low Poly Character in 2. Don't ever think you can't learn something new. Another fantastic tutorial, thank you!

While this would have been impossible for me to follow a few days ago, circling back to this video after going through 3D Printing Professor's Absolute beginner's series has really boosted my confidence.

This tutorial would've been perfect if it were easier to see the buttons you were pushing, that bar to the left is blocking half your key pushes. Very frustrating especially when you wanna learn.

i'm 14, starting with Game development in Unity and Blender and now i think about how much efford Game Devs have to put not only on models, but on everything else
I want this for my future but dam i feel sorry after a hard working months non stop, people giving hate and crap like that to their game. I hope one day i get to be a good Game Dev. :)

POV: You just installed blender 5 minutes ago.

Always remember beginners g to grab, s to scale and r to rotate (in object and edit mode). E to extrude (in edit mode only)
