For anyone stuck at "... select the body... " @ the 5min mark. Select a vertex on the mesh that is the body and press 'L' on the keyboard (Blender 3.4.1)
If someone has already commented this, now there're two of us ✌

For Googly Eye part: Go to edit mode, press H to hide the outer layer, L to select the inner middle circle, then duplicate (shift + D) and scale, G to position forward. Repeat for second white circle. For colour: L to select, then assign Google-Eye-Base white & Google-Eye-Pupil black materials to the appropriate layers in the inner part of the eye. After this press Alt + H to show the outer layer again. L to select outer layer to assign the Google-Eye-Plastic material to the outer layer. For transparency, select Google-Eye-Plastic in material properties > settings > blend mode > alpha blend. Go to Shading and in Principled BSDF, change Alpha to desired transparency e.g. 0.5

For Asset Library set up: Edit > Preferences > File Paths > Asset Libaries and choose name and path as desired.

Also note the extrusion (for the inside of the box) needs to be done before applying the solidify modifiers (or you can check the checkbox that says 'rim only' for the solidify modifier for the body/box.)

IF SOMEONE IS HAVING TROUBLES WITH THE TRANSPARENCY OF THE GOOGLY EYE > GO TO MATERIEL > SETTINGS > IN THE BLEND MODE CHOOSE ALPHA BLEND AFTER THAT GO TO THE SHADER EDITOR > PRINCIPLED BSDF > ALPHA > MOVE IT UNTIL HAVING THE DESIRED EFFECT

Great! I can highly recommend people to sketch first using grease pencil, it helps in so many ways since you can make a 3D drawing easily 🥰

[garymarkham]

Your unique style comes out in the box robot character, great texture!! Love it!

[TechWampus]

Maybe you could make a video on how to make the reference sketch with the grease pencil, that would be interesting!

[otherworlds]

Seems like the solidify modifier is screwing with the mesh when you extrude to make the box sink in from the top. Leaves faces from the revers side of the box. If you delete those faces you get a weird edge left over.

[heavycodes]

Character may have a bit more faces, overall it's pretty good,
It is looking like a Minecraft mob

[AnnaGlin]

how do you make the Grease Pencil sketch show up in front of the geometry? edit: found it I think: under Object Properties > Viewport Display > in front

Thanks for the tutorial, but it was hard to follow along because of how fast it was and the few difficult sections that needed explaining in the many comments. Without those comments pointing out the difficult sections and the hotkeys on screen being used (for half the video) I would be completely stuck. Also the sample pack's eye is comes out misaligned in every axis, I don't know how you just spawned it perfectly.

Shotty! Huge fan of your vids, just one thing I'd like to recommend, perhaps you alright know about it, but each time I see a video you make and go on the "Create loop cut, select half of the mesh, delete, mirror modifier" it comes to my mind that I should mention Blender's Automirror addon, which makes the mirroring process faster and simpler when it comes to X-Axis mirroring.

Alr gonna learn blender from a channel I looked up to when i was not having blender on me

[randomvideos]

hello, can you explain how to add highlight to the eyes ?

[denniss.]

hey thanks for the tutorial, helps me a lot and i love the result. i have a question. from other tutorials i learned not to overlap meshes if i want to animate them or use them in games. did you remesh the model? or is it not true that its important not to overlap? arms, eyes, and legs are overlapping right? sorry if its a dumb question. hope you can help me out of my confusion

[BOBYBOX]

Thx for your great tutorial🙏🙏🙏. I managed to make my own version of it in blender and im making youtube videos by animating it😊. Ofcourse my animation suck but im trying to make it better. Again tnx for your wonderful course and amazing content

[punchbug]

modeling, texturing, rigging, animating... but what about set up? how did you get the grease pencil objects separated? how did you set them up perfectly for modeling? I must just be too new for this video tutorial?

[gabisaintro]

Great, may your life be blessed. And lots of luck

[EntikaiCG]

Man, this series is so good. Amazing info shared, thank you!

[HASSENIDDER]

that moment when u think u'r not improving then u stop the video at character Ref and timer is 1:00 u copy only the square where the character is drag & drop alt+R Alt+G and the line is dead centre.... with Z Axis...

[Michal.mikhael]

This character looks like Edurardo from Foster's home for imaginary friends <3 :D
