Oh, and true... like others saying here, THIS, your series of tutorials really works and NOT LONG WINDED at all. I must agree with them. This SIMPLY WORKS! THANK YOU AGAIN! - Andrew
I've recently started doing this tutorial and can I say it is a godsend! You break things down and go through every step in a concise yet comprehensive way. Plus the amount of times I've been surprised by the little tricks/tips you've shown is crazy haha.
Grant! You are truly an amazing trainer. I managed to follow all your videos of this series from Video 1 to this point and i will more than likely finish the whole series. And i must say a BIG thank you. You do not waste time, you jump straight to it, and you pause whenever you think we need to practise and that is truly CLASSIC! Love the way you teach, and infact, i love it so much, i might be checking out later if you provide paid short courses. I value your efforts and teaching and style that I want to support your works financially so that you can keep going and be the best in Blender trainings. With love and support from Malaysia - Andrew, Beyond Photography Channel
This tutorial is great. Old boomer and learning. Actually had the confidence to started to do some small edits during the build in lesson 6, was great! Thank You
I was so afraid to touch nodes and shaders until now. I’ve spent so much on courses to only feel discouraged and overwhelmed! Your process repetitive technique’s and different ways and challenging me to create things myself has led me to farther more experience than I could have ever thought imaginable as a beginner. Thank YOU!!!
ok so ive watched up until this point so far building with you. THANK YOU.! this is the first tutorial that has worked for me. even the one or two parts i couldnt do i managed to figure out my own way using what you taught me. im gonna finish this. i wish i could show you this because im so proud of myself lol. maybe ill share it on my youtube channel and give your channel a shout out. my channel is tiny tiny lol but still i would like to share my finished product in the end. almost done with this video. just finished MY lamp post and im think im about to color it soon. such a great basic tool to get people going. thank you agian!!!!!!!
Dude I just gotta comment on every video as I progress!. I need to admit, just when I think I have gotten stuck (the monster arm) then grant explains why and how to. This guy is amazing! I have now completed my old man and my beast!. I wish there would be a site where we can share our progress! 🙏🏼
these tutorials are insanely helpful!! i had a little trouble figuring out the lighting since the bloom feature got moved, but your other video helped with it :)
i just started learning about 3d and blender at the 3.0 drop and man its interesting to see another side of the world as i come from music side of things....im highly interested in exploring the creative side of my brain visually i got to say atm doing the donut tutorial and doing this series of yours has been so helpful for me to wrap my head around things in the program! love the fact you always mention the hotkeys and what your doing in the moment i also started watching the 1st video on your sculpting playlist im amazed thanks for putting out these videos i have turned on notifications you also come highly recommended on reddit i can see why !
Right? Same here: when Mr. Abbitt shows me how to manipulate edges in edit mode in objects with mirror modifiers without clipping, it's like me explaining to someone the difference between insert and aux FX (-busses) in my fav DAW and show how to use the right method for applying octave pitched reverbs on vocals (wouldn't really work with insert FX). I guess it's in the same field: mastering the tools, and/but in the end it's about creativity: you have all the plugins and edit techniques you can possibly think of but the essence is in the initial idea! But learning from the best is a shortcut that surely pways off!
Hello, great tutorials...at 4:14 when I widen the streetlamp (part to light up), it is widening the parts "behind" the loop cut as well...can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I created a new project, made the lamp post there which "scaled" fine, and then copy/pasted the man and monster from my old projectinto this new project...I did download a beta LTS version of Blender, maybe that was the cause? I reverted back to the current "live" version in Steam now.
Hey Grant!! Thanks for this amazing beginner series. Really helpful!! I don't know if i just missed or something when i apply bloom effect in eevee the eyes does not bloom or glow like yours shown in the tutorial. I think you got my point right!!?? Looking forward for your response. Thanks Again!! 😊
I have a question. with the old man's mirrored hands for example, if you wanted them both to be different colours (to show him wearing a purple glove on the right hand) can these hands be unlinked or would you create them seperately and unmirrored at the early stage? Cheers.
Thank you very much! Your explanation is so good! What I would like to ask you: After part 8 from this Blender 3 Complete Beginners Guide, is there a sequel on this, a guide for Beginners who finishes this course made by you? When I need to pay for it, it is ok, because your courses are more than completely worth it!!
Weird thing. when I try to rotate my monster through the transform panel and put 180 into Z axis it only twists my torso. If I do it manually with R button then it twists the whole monster. Is there a reason why I can't do it through the panel? Did this happen to anyone? I mean, I can rotate it so not really stuck, just wanted to know for future as it is more convienient in these instances to do it through the panel.
First off wanted to say thank you for the Guides. Second is I got to the end of six and when I went to move my monster the parts that I had Mirrored went the opposite direction. Where did I go wrong?
Hi Grant, this has been very helpful! I am wondering is there a way to separate a mirrored object? For instance if I wanted to pose the right arm different than the left, could I do that after they’ve been mirrored some how? Thanks! keep up the good work!
Doh, I was going to fast, so for anyone following along it's the infinity dropdown for pivot and NOT the Global "Transform Orientations" one. Man was I confused to begin with! :D
when i change my point back to median point the thing for the scale and move is off to the side of the monster instead of on him, any idea how i can fix it?
I don't know if I just missed it but when I rotate the monster and old man the mirrored limbs don't adjust correctly and get all out of place, how do I fix this?
Hello. I'm following your tutorial. For some reason I cannot change the color of the eyes on the monster without the whole monster changing color. I do have the eyes selected but the whole monster changes.
@@grabbitt I think i have right one. Even from the materials properties tab it doesn't show up either . I tried adding an Emission node but I don't understand how to connect it properly but the strength dose show up there.
OK I pressed something. And everything has changed lol. By any chance have you experienced the menu changing to a single letter? How can I describe.. all menus/text like file, edit, etc. They now are shortened to 'F' 'E' .. Layout is now 'L' its a cool feature but im not ready for it yet. How to change back for original view? Thnx
@@grabbitt Hey thanks again for the effort you put into the videos, they are very helpful. The menus are back to normal for me now after closing and opening blender.
Problem solved! I’m a newbie and using 2.83.4. If you go to Layout, Material Properties, choose Surface, Emission. There you will find Strength to get emitting light.. Very Cool Effect! I’m loving the tutorials!
For me your beginners tutorial was more approachable then the infamous donut tutorial on TH-cam, thank you!

I really like this series. I like the fact that you tell us to model ourself which people rarely do. It made me like blender again. Thanks a lot!
YES! I actually modelled the arms and face by myself and it made it feel so much better to make.

Can't thank you enough for making these videos. They're insanely helpful!
Thank you So Much, These Small Tutorials really Help me Maintain my Motivation.
Thanks for this! I prefer small tutorials that I can actually finish. :)
Thank you. Material slots were always confusing to me. Great example with the torch.

Up the power of the light maybe
Everything is clear and understandable 👍
this course is so amazing - thank you!

You can apply the mirror and texture them separately

thanks. Yes, check out my website as i have some courses on there which might suit. The best "next step" would be the low poly landscapes course.
@@grabbitt, thank you very much!

amazing tutorial as always
Quick question, I want to learn realistic product animation. Which of your courses in your website teaches this, Grant? Thank you - Andrew
None as yet. But that is something that I aught to be doing
None as yet. But that is something that I aught to be doing
By far the easiest courses to follow on TH-cam & Skillshare
Good god this is a good series!
Thank you Grant.
First off wanted to say thank you for the Guides. Second is I got to the end of six and when I went to move my monster the parts that I had Mirrored went the opposite direction. Where did I go wrong?
Move them in object mode
Can u explain me the diffrence between linked objects and Mirrors? Awesome Tutorial :)
Mirror is on an object across a symmetry line in edit mode. Linked duplicate is a copy of your object
@@grabbitt Thanks for Your answer! 💪
the light torch didn't work..how could i fix this problem?
Hi Grant, this has been very helpful! I am wondering is there a way to separate a mirrored object? For instance if I wanted to pose the right arm different than the left, could I do that after they’ve been mirrored some how? Thanks! keep up the good work!
Yes apply the mirror then into edit mode and separate with p
@@grabbitt awesome, thanks for the reply!
Doh, I was going to fast, so for anyone following along it's the infinity dropdown for pivot and NOT the Global "Transform Orientations" one. Man was I confused to begin with! :D
when i change my point back to median point the thing for the scale and move is off to the side of the monster instead of on him, any idea how i can fix it?
Right click origins
you are the best👏👏
I don't know if I just missed it but when I rotate the monster and old man the mirrored limbs don't adjust correctly and get all out of place, how do I fix this?
Rotate in object mode but remember the object mirror
I am stuck right now. I got up to where we are shading the monster, but I can't figure out how put the street scene into new material. Please help.
Select the object then new material
Hello. I'm following your tutorial. For some reason I cannot change the color of the eyes on the monster without the whole monster changing color. I do have the eyes selected but the whole monster changes.
OK. I got it. Just had to rest my eyes.
Question, for some reason blender is not showing the strength of the Emission,the only thing under Emission is Alpha .How do I fix this?
not sure you have the right node
@@grabbitt I think i have right one. Even from the materials properties tab it doesn't show up either . I tried adding an Emission node but I don't understand how to connect it properly but the strength dose show up there.
@@grabbitt problem solved, it was because I was using old ver of blender
Alt + d did a regular duplicate without linking. What could be the reason for that?
Don't know with that one
It only copies edits done in edit mode not transforms in object mode
im having trouble making the eyes glow when i turn up the emission strength it turns white.
Use bloom
@@grabbitt how do i do that with cycles?
OK I pressed something. And everything has changed lol. By any chance have you experienced the menu changing to a single letter? How can I describe.. all menus/text like file, edit, etc. They now are shortened to 'F' 'E' .. Layout is now 'L' its a cool feature but im not ready for it yet.
How to change back for original view?
Thnx
I'm not sure with that one sorry
@@grabbitt Hey thanks again for the effort you put into the videos, they are very helpful. The menus are back to normal for me now after closing and opening blender.
great tutorial! :D
5:53
Thank you.
Hey how can I group all the parts in one ?
Ctrl just to join or look up collections
@@grabbitt Thankyou Grant❤The tutorial is Great!! Loved it.
when are you going to say the winners of the snowman contest??
becuase you said you would annouce it today because its 12 december
Closing date is today. It's not actually my competition I am only a judge
@@grabbitt so your not going to annouce it in your channel?????
@@blenderbay eventually yes
0:59
my light doesnt seem to actually light up its just showing like a white background.. what did i do wrong i copied ur
emmission settings and everything
nvm its because i didnt have bloom enabled my bad
I am having a blast doing this but I need help with the cameras as I deleted them. lol
Go to the add menu🙂
dont know why but my emission strength isnt showing in the node anyone think they can help?
Have you got blender 3
Problem solved! I’m a newbie and using 2.83.4. If you go to Layout, Material Properties, choose Surface, Emission. There you will find Strength to get emitting light.. Very Cool Effect!
I’m loving the tutorials!
nice tutorial
Thank you
Thanks!
thank you sir..
very epic
We all need animation
👍👍
