In this part of my new character modeling tutorial series for Blender 3.0 we will begin by setting up reference images. I use PureRef to manage my images and Photoshop to create some drawings. You can also use Krita as a free alternative if you dont have access to Photoshop.

This video is the 32nd part of 40 in this very detailed tutorial series about modeling. Ill take you through all the steps of anime style character creation in the 3d software called Blender and without any time lapse.
If you havent watched it already make sure to go through part 0! In that video Ill show you the final result and tell you all about the modifications I did with my version of Blender. Also youll find the references in the description of that video.
By the way, the character design was made by the creators of Sword Art Online and all credit goes to them. Im using it as an example to teach how to work with real characters as youd find them in any animation.
Thanks for watching!")

Update (May 2020): We are still working on this project and are looking forward to present our tool to the public in a few months. Please stay tuned! I will make an announcement on this channel!
If you have some time, please fill out this survey:
English Survey: Thanks to all participants!
「日本語」Japanese Survey: Thanks to all participants!
What it is? A tag based tool for artists to manage their visual library.
Why? A visual library can contain many thousand image, picturing various subjects. The contents need to be managed to be easily accessible when needed.
How? The hurdles of keeping a library organized are lowered to a minimum by offering very easy import tools, tagging assistance and data visualizations.
In this video, I am quickly going through the current progress on developing this tool. If anyone is interested in helping to develop this software, please let me know through the survey above! I am looking forward to hearing from you!
