to be honest, I'd love to see this as an hour long episode. Don't get me wrong I know you'll get it done in 10 min but it would be nice to see you really sink your teeth into this one
i would love to see 1 hours split up into 40 minutes of which is like 4x10 minutes of say, world modeling/ character modeling/ lighting / animation and 20 minutes to make it a composition, if you lost any time in one of the former parts, you can use the time to make the best of what you came up with
Watching these videos is like reading knitting patterns, E, S, E, I, E, S, I Look it is a Mech. I, S, E, S, I, E, S, Look it is a Space ship! 😁But seriously, love these videos, I'm a big fan and cannot wait for the "E to extrude, S to Scale" t-shirt to come out.
Thank you very much for all those tutorials! they are great. I really like to watch you going through it at top speed. And I am not kidding, it is so great to watch and to learn it at this high pace. I´ve to stop at some points, as I miss some steps but when I try it I extrude and scale and Insect and extrude and move and scale and then I notice I´ve improved.
As an artist (digital painter) who is just learning Blender now, I relate with the frustration. But one neat thing I experienced when learning how to paint digitally was that repetition, not quality, was key. As long as I could force myself not to refine each project too much, and just say "this looks like [insert favorite inappropriate word] but I accomplished my goal; now let's do it again", over time, it really paid off. My first digital painting in Photoshop took something like 30 hours, and over about 2 years, I got it down to 8-10 hours. Your mileage may vary, but I think it's universal that we all get better with practice. :)
@@Zaire82 yea but really it was like 10 hotkeys, which when I started blender back in the just released as opensource days that is what it was. Speed modeling. One hand on mouse, one on keyboard. And go. I modeled hundred thousand poly models with panels and greebles with like 5 hotkeys. I love the new blender but there was something so satisfying about the old crude blender that no one took to serous. Now our blender is all grown up and I love it.
I've only seen a handful of your videos but they are the only ones where I want to instantly hop on blender and start making new stuff with all the things I learn from these videos, calling out the shortcuts is also really helpful thanks a bunch!
Awesome Video, like Always 😁 For me, your comments are an important part of your Material. Also the debrifing is super duper (like my 2yo. says) You are inspiring!
Brilliant mate. I will be uploading my first tutorial in the next few weeks and I have learnt so much from you so thank you and never apologise for repeating the commands. It's what makes it stick!
I really love 10 minute builds, it usually takes me about a hour to go through it. I like the format where you have a tips section at the end. Keep up the good work, you rock!
did you need challenges? make an a) flying bird (animated) or an b) running Cat (also animated). I would like to see that in your amazing video style ;)
Great video! In the future, I would really like to see some weapon tutorials, maybe a katana or a sci fi handgun or something. Anyways, your videos really helped me a lot, thanks!
An evil part of me actually considered giving this a thumbs down, just so I could finally be the first at something. But this was brilliant. I've been considering creating some robotic characters, and I would have had a heck of a time because I automatically would have used automatic weights and spent hours weight painting to get it to look right. But this absolutely makes sense! Thank you.
This one was epic. How does assigning the bone vertex weights on one side of the mirror knows to assign the weights on THE OTHER BONE at the other side? Coming from 3dsmax, I don’t think that would work out, a mirror symmetry is an exact copy and shares all the values. Also, it has dawned on me, that I actually have bought and used a few of the sound/music packages! I didn’t realize it was that same “Imphenzia” from the unity asset store until I dug deep down to the beginnings of this channel.
I've never worked in blender, or in anything related to 3d graphics, but i just want to say that it's frustrating to see someone do in 10 minutes what would probably take me one full day (if i had to guess). And i'd be proud if the result was anything like this!
I have a suggestion for a 10 minute series, to design a 3D Printable character/thing in blender. Maybe its off the main cg gaming/animation topic here but would bring you more diverse audience to the channel.
Great video. And some observation.It's hard for blender to calculate an armature deform. even if there are clean 1.0, 0.0 groups. For such robots it's cheaper to have each part as separate object parented to the bone (no armature deform modifier). If you want to have a lot of them in the scene, and you want to animate them in real time it might be a solution. If it's not the case, just ignore it. =) To copy rigged one use alt+d with all the parts and the rig selected. It will preserve the relationships. After that just assign a new action to the rig (if needed). It saves memory a lot, because each mesh is stored just once.
Actually, the Locust could destroy some of the larger mechs pretty easily, when playing a defensive mission. Though that's only because the A.I. was terrible, because it moved directly toward your base and allowed a locust to get behind the enemy mech and take out its legs. EDIT: By the way, I really do appreciate your videos. I like the fact that when you say it's going to take ten minutes, it actually takes ten minutes without a time lapse or skipping parts of the process. I have seen many videos where it states that they're doing it in x minutes, but that's only because they speed up the video. Plus, I also like how your models are not overly complex. Thank you.
Nicely done. Can never get enough of Extrudes.. How's this for a 10 minute challenge idea: rig and animate a wheeled vehicle of some sort from blender to unity? There's plenty of tools out there that do most of the work for you, been trying to figure out how to do it by hand for Unreal myself.
I know you would get this done but somehow I still think what if you don't?!?! Thanks for the video and tutorial man, keep this up!! Cheers from Indonesia, watching your premiere on midnight here :)
Now I'm really interested in walking animations. I know nothing about how to do it at the moment, so I'm curious how you get the character to have a walking anim, a starting anim, a stopping anim, and a jumping anim blending all together seamlessly. The example that comes to mind is GTA V. It has adaptive animations, to a small extent. Face-up and face-down _lying-down-to-standing_ animations or the ability to land on your feet when ragdolled. The game is designed to find the most suitable animation from a selection and using it appropriately. I'd like to make that myself.
Terrific tutorial, as always! Question: around 7:45, when you create a lower leg, the first thing you do is to duplicate a face from the upper mesh. Is that so that you can have a detached set of vertices to parent to the lower leg bone? You seem to also do this step for other independent parts, just want to make sure I'm understanding...
I personally would like to see you do proper uv mapping with nice hand painted textures but it seems that is not your style. Either way, thanks for the videos!
Thank you for yet another great video. They have really motivated me to get back into game development! Have you considered making an official Imphenzia "E to..." t-shirt? ;-)
The most important part of that process is the Shift-D to duplicate. As this is the decision key to create a new vertex group to link with, later. Somehow, i forgot to shift-D to make the hand (i was too extatic using E and S). When i selected the arm and pressed L, it selected all the faces of arm & hand. And had to assign a new vertex group myself.
Took me two hours to do what he did in ten minutes. :( But, I did get it completed and animated - just isn't nearly as good. I do have a question though: With the type of shading that is done, I imported my .fbx over to Unity and the shaders didn't go with it; it's just a grey mech. Any tips on what to do about that?
HELLO KINDLY PLEASE take this as an request if i am a big fan of your tutorials it was very interesting but instead of doing that in a fast mode please explain as a slow and with little detail in it will be useful for many of the peoples
This is impressive. Is the reason for Shift D-ing when modelling each body part so that they can be assigned easily to a new bone? And you avoid mesh deformations?
Holy crap. I am dying to give this a try. I'm brand new to even thinking of modelling, but you made this look so easy! Can't wait to spend 20 hours doing this :p
In 10 minutes, can you make an airport? I think it will be nice to see and most of the time will probably be spent on all objects aside from the building itself.
Wow !!! You beat yourself at your own game :) To make a MECH robot with a custom armature with inverse kinematics and creating an animation for it .. DONE !!! in under 10 minutes .. with even some time to tweak the MECH robot ... AWESOME !!!
Hi imphenza, been a while since you uploaded this but I am trying to recreate this. Right now when I parent with empty groups and go through and map it all out. Nothing happens. When I go to pose mode, nothing is responding like its not connected. If I try with automatic weights most of it works but parts start to deform or are not connected
Thanks for the tutorial, I eventually managed to rig and animate an AT-ST model I created by following this. Yes, you're fast, so I had to watch at slower speed and rewind many times but got there in the end. Now, I need to find out how to get this into Unity and get it moving around.
Quick question: What are your use cases of 'insetting' and 'extrude and scale down'? I'm really intrigued on why you did the inset on some and extrude and scale down on the others.
Keep saying the commands. Nobody should be getting fed up of it.
He should get shirts for the channel with that on the back: "E to Extrude, S to Scale"
thats the best thing you do...... Attracting newer people with simple commands....... looks like blender is easy as you say commands and make stuff
agreed, it actualy is helpful and makes it easier to understand the modeling method...
great tutorials, actualy made me instal and start learning blender, pretty clear and concise, plus a great visual style...
keept it up friend and thanx...
@imphenzia #imphenzia
Yeah for real! Saying the commands really helps out. Helps me learn what he's actually doing.
correction,"nobody will "
Honestly the E to extrude, s to scale thing is oddly relaxing. I like it.
It's one of the more chill parts of using Blender, just "pulling" whatever you want to create out of a simple cube.
"E to extrude, S to scale" Omg, now I repeat it every day, like a song)
I felt it when u typed there, such a relaxation
I thought I was the only one
Blender ASMR 🤔
to be honest, I'd love to see this as an hour long episode. Don't get me wrong I know you'll get it done in 10 min but it would be nice to see you really sink your teeth into this one

40 minutes of which is like 4x10 minutes of say, world modeling/ character modeling/ lighting / animation

You literally perfectly explained something CG Geek couldn't in half an hour. (And you also modeled and animated the mech)

LoL
Cg geek goes as in depth as he can. Though I like this guy's speed.
CG Geek is good, although very confusing sometimes, but for in depth, I'd say Surfaced Studio is best (very detailed)
Keep up with the commands. Us beginners that are watching this need the practice .. or we would not be here :)
