This video is the 18th part of 40 in this very detailed tutorial series about modeling. I'll take you through all the steps of anime style character creation in the 3d software called 'Blender' and without any time lapse.
If you haven't watched it already make sure to go through part 0! In that video I'll show you the final result and tell you all about the modifications I did with my version of Blender. Also you'll 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. I'm using it as an example to teach how to work with 'real' characters as you'd find them in any animation.
Thanks for watching!

This is the fourth video in my anime character 3d modeling tutorial series!
In this episode we will finally begin the character creation process. In this blocking stage, we will draft our character with simple shapes to get an idea about the proportions and the silhouette. I will also talk about several theories such as simplification, shape language and balance. There is a lot more that could be mentioned, but I hope to have covered the most essential topics.
If you have any additional ideas, make sure to let me know in the comments!
Chapters:
0:00 Introduction
0:30 Getting Started (Silhouette & Proportions)
3:38 Character Blocking (Part 1)
6:47 Simplification, Shape Language and Balance
7:08 (1) Simplification
9:45 (2) Shape Language
11:15 (3) Balance

In this video, I am using ZBrush to sculpt a character from scratch. In fact, in this series, we will be working on the character named Mr. Arata from beginning to End. If you catch me on the live stream, you can even participate in making design decisions. Mr. Arata is a creation made by contributions from all of you.
At this point, Mr. Arata is a Magician who tries to get dragons under his control. He needs their power to take revenge against the king who is to blame for his wifes death. His wife was a demon... This is how far we got. Cant wait to get your ideas :)

As for the project, weve started working on a new character controller which is very work in progress at the moment. Also added some new props here and there and made some improvements to the light as well as working on a dialogue system that can be triggered by looking at things or walking into a certain area.
Oh and finally I mentioned my new Tumblr account, so if youre interested feel free to take a look: http://danielkreuter.tumblr.com/")
![[Blender 3D] Basic Transformation Tutorial - The Most Efficient Method](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GJjRWqK1zo8/mqdefault.jpg "[Blender 3D] Basic Transformation Tutorial - The Most Efficient Method
Here is a quick video about a very basic topic. Blender is a 3d modeling software and most of you are probably spending a great amount of time transforming vertices and objects. This can be done in several ways including the transformation handles and keyboard shortcuts. In this video I will introduce both and specifically talk about how to make use of them with speed. Efficient use allows us to work faster which leads to more detail and volume in production. I hope the information I am presenting is useful. Thank you as always for watching!
