Blender is nice. I'd use it more, but too busy coding games instead. Then I forget how to do anything in Blender & have to relearn it
BierBrechtderGrosse
Alright, alright...it goes to the list for the next pandemic...jeez
lddiaz
My kid is rendering for blender every night. Did a black hole last night.
MarcelMichelsen
When I learned to use blender I did so with a friend and within 6 months he had learned enough to animate a hele carrier scene with men
MarcelMichelsen
And I'm still shit at using it
FjordFiskursson
Impressive how you didn't get any better.
IchiNiisan
they look like those old clay cartoons......I like
eggmuffin
Blender revolutionized 3D animated porn. That's all I know about it.
TorSverre
Step 1: Be talented.
Sauroctonus
Step 2: Wrap your brain around Blender's fucky UI.
mimomisu
I don't know, man. My good friend is really good in this and can't really draw too well and definitely doesn't consider himself an artist.
dasklaus
Normally I'd say talent is just practice but here most of the practice clearly came before the year started. April 2020 is already good.
ealbeSpaceFlyer
Is there like a place you would recommend to a kid who is interested in these things?like tutorial 101 or something..thanks
Naoki3D
You have a LOT of tutorials on Youtube but for kids specifically, I don't know, depends on the age I guess.
Naoki3D
You have guides like "noob to pro" series on Youtube, you can check and see if that seems suitable.
Dieminion3
ORI!!!!! I've played both games and they are my absolute favorite!!! Excellent job +1
Bauchnabelfussel
Me too!! Currently replaying Will of the Wisps for the 3rd time ?
Dieminion3
That's what I love about the games, you can replay them over and over and still have a good time. I love the music. The story is so sad!!
EclecticEccentric
I also wish it had a time stamp of like 2 hours work vs 4 hours work vs x hours work
Naoki3D
Most of them can be done within 15h of work or less. Could be even faster if I had a better computer.
G0MeatCube
I need that blue devil man as a reaction
TheSongofRiver
@op take commissions?
Naoki3D
I never did so far but I could depending on what is requested (amount of time, details, complexity etc.)
TheSongofRiver
Fiverr is a site where you can advertise your services. You're really good. And it makes paying someone easier/more secure. And shows you
TheSongofRiver
What others charge. Friend and I are looking for a modeler after the concept art is done.
ChemicalG
Wtf happened in those 3 months that powerleveled your skills
Naoki3D
Lol, I don't know, it was just summer and didn't feel like sculpting, but seeing cool stuff on IG made me want to do it again.
MacForker
Incoming Disney lawsuit in 3...2...
ShaunDreclin
One year of blender plus being a good artist
Sylaurin
Cousin It is really surprised to get offered that cookie
NegiTheScrublord
@op In you're environments try to avoid so many straight edges, eg. Your capets/rugs are too perfect and breaks illusion of realism.
NegiTheScrublord
Also your noisey normal map (or perhaps its a bump map) is too strong/not tiling enough and is very noticable.
Naoki3D
Yeah realism is created with little details done well. I didn't do enough of them to reach a good level of realism yet.
UffDaDan
Knowing a friend that is REALLY go at Blender, I know how much artistic skill it takes to do these and Damn.
SnaccAttacc
I thought the first one was already after a year and was like "nice"
TrueNorthernLights
Yeah, my first attempts would look like something a dog pooped out.
Naoki3D
TBH, the first one was the first I posted online but not the first I created. I did it around one month after starting to use Blender.
StupidSexyCentaur
Your commitment to actually spending time on this on the regular instead of coming back to it every month or so for an hour like I do shows.
uzerok
Time to try out that Substance Painter trial.
Naoki3D
Yeah Substance seems really powerful. I really don't like the painting in Blender but Substance costs too much after the one month trial.
uzerok
1 Look out for Steam sales of a perpetual license. I can get as low as $60 from what I've seen. That gives you a year worth of updates. And
uzerok
2 the perpetual license to commercially sell your work as an independent artist.
FrogBotherer
As a professional CAD user...I find the things you can do in Blender to be some manner of witchcraft.
fskn
CAD is hard, man.
Varcova
What do you use? It's easy enough to bring most CAD files into Blender, allowing u to focus in learning Blender rendering only.
toddthewraith
not professional CAD, but i learned CAD before trying Blender and yea it's witchcraft. i have no idea how it works and i can't do CAD things
superbro2211
Used blender at first, now using maya. Autodesk makes shit software, the only thing I prefer over blender is the uv editor
GeoffFromAccounting
Can relate. Hate Blender's UV tools, but everything else they have is so much better than Maya in my experience
superbro2211
I find that too, I usually model in blender and then uv unwrap in maya but I’m moving over to rizomUV for that instead, maya is a pain
DesignNerd86
It's not bad as long as you find the right tutorial. I do patreon w/ cggeek so I can compare his end result nodes to mine if mine is off
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
CAD is 3D for manufacturability. Blender/Maya/Lightwave/etc. are for making pretty pictures so there's a lot less formalism and more cheats.
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
I mean, you can do 3d printing great with Blender etc., but what's important is just how things look not how they're built most of the time.
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
In Blender you never model what you can't see, but in CAD everything has to be perfect, there's no "shade smooth" etc. Much harder.
MaybeAcat
I’m learning CAD right now and I’d rather run my head through plate glass.
uzerok
As a Blender user who's doing models on km size scales, I wish I had 64 bit precision for the transforms.
greetPlanetDancer
So awesome, it's harder then it looks, still trying to create a basic anatomical shape myself and is not easy
Tpewop
Yes, I too wish to be beaten by the Nintendo "cease and desist" hammer!
Naoki3D
Creating fanarts is not illegal AFAIK. :D Nintendo is just not happy with people using their games to make money, which is not my case.
Tpewop
You're correct, Nintendo is just WAY overprotective of their properties. Especially when fans start getting good like you ;)
superbro2211
Nah, mostly use of their Ip making money off of it is what they’re hard on. Fan stuff that’s just free or fan art they don’t mind
PoppaBigBear
I think the issue is if you let 1 group use your IP, then everyone will get the right to do it, like sony and microsoft.
superbro2211
Nintendo itself has been pretty lenient, as long as you don’t make money off their Ip they don’t do much, the pokemon company though......
SincerelyHated
Where did you get Blender?
SpeerNA
Blender is open source (free), just search for it online
idonthaveauser
apt install blender
NZSheeps
www.blender.org
KingKelloggTheWaffleHaggler
It's free
Brandy321
that's very impressive
MyCommentsUsuallyHaveTypos
Yeah now I really want to learn blendr
Naoki3D
Thanks :)
HaloArchitect
Seriously....
TargetedAdBot
Is blender easy to use or is it like Gimp for Photoshop? I used 3D studio Max maybe 15 years ago. Maybe interested to learn.
hadtodownvote1
I recently learned about Glimpse, a variant of Gimp that's (among other things) made to be easier to switch to from photoshop
hadtodownvote1
( https://glimpse-editor.org/ )
dasklaus
It has some learning curve to get used to the control and learn where everything is. You need tutorials when switching from something else.
dasklaus
That said, I think they made it easier in recent years by making changes in the direction of how other software looks.
Naoki3D
It's a complex software (can do a lot of things) so the problem is not that it's difficult to use but to have time to learn everything.
Naoki3D
The good thing tho is that you have A LOT of tutorials to learn. For one specific feature you have like 10 different tutorials.
FuriousBakedPotato
What advice would you give to yourself from 1 year ago?
ztygs
Not OP, but have patience. Learning a new skill takes time. Even a new program can take time. Do a bit every day and improvements will come.
Naoki3D
Try to have a better workflow/methodology, but that's something you learn with time. Some of these sculptures could be done way faster.
Naoki3D
The Samus Aran sculpture for example took me around 80 hours, it could be done in 20 hours with a better approach.
Nintendam
Nice work! Never tried blender yet but these are great results. Been using rhino, max, vray and octane. Did you model these too?
ArbitraryUnitsofHumour
I love these. I use gravity sketch for the models and then do the rendering in blender.
Naoki3D
Blender is the only software I use (with Lightroom and Photoshop for adjusting colors etc.)
KingKelloggTheWaffleHaggler
Oh rhino... Brings back memories.
Nintendam
LoL, it's still going! Up to rhino 7. Actually great for arch installations and with octanes real time gpu rendering
KingKelloggTheWaffleHaggler
Wait it's still around?
Nintendam
Hell yeah! It's super popular with Architecture and product design, esp with Grasshopper which adds parametric modeling to it
KingKelloggTheWaffleHaggler
Huh, it's been forever since I used it. Like 15 years....
NeatoVeto
Holy shit. Saved rhino projects on zip drives. My body hurts.
AisforApple
Zip drives... Now there's a blast from the past.
smilewonthurt
What did you use to learn?

Why, I'm glad you asked, Skillshare! You can find all sorts of fun lectures. Use code GULLIBLE for a month of trial. Find link below.

Naoki3D
Just tutorials on Youtube and checking on the web everytime you want to do something specific.
Bombideer
I'd recommend checking out Andrew Price (Blender Guru) and his newsletter for additional resources from written tutorials to free assets!
TomatoPepper
Really good for a autodidact. Must work in some face proportions but the landscapes are from a pro
VibratingNipples
I bet they were 3 hours video explaining how to a simple 5 min step
Zreen
Sometimes it's the opposite. For both times
Mobileuserwholikestoberandom
@op needs this Ian Hubert https://youtube.com/c/mrdodobird 1 min videos for various things
CharlIly
The reason people charge so much per hour is because they spent hours and hours and hours so they can do it in 5min.
Slash0mega
you missunderstand, its not about artists working fast, its about videos having the tutorial equivalent of the story before the recipe.
Silnt39
Any chance you have a larger pic of Ori? Would love to have it as a background.
Naoki3D
Yes the full image is on my Deviantart: https://www.deviantart.com/naoki38/art/Ori-has-found-the-light-863406387
Silnt39
Awesome. Thank you. Beautiful work. ?
iDrinkDrano
How many donuts did you make?
Naoki3D
I never created a donut in Blender and if I had to it would probably be pretty bad lol
NotTinyPancakes
So did just everyone do the donut tutorials?
GeoffFromAccounting
You haven't truly learned Blender until you've done the donut tutorial
iDrinkDrano
One of the first results for getting into Blender is a very good, 15-episode series about making a donut. It has a subreddit now.
