dang this is large
@@Amit_meena19 yes it is, lol. Thats why I didn't have all of them on the actual video
For this random guy a year later, thank you for this video 🙏
i can't thank you enough for this video, the donut tutorial just wasn't cutting it .
i got to episode eleven before i realized i didn't even remember what i learned in episode two , despite the fact i was closely following along the entire way through , and that was partly the issue , i was just following along . i tried restarting and even taking notes like it was an actual class , but then that just took the fun out of it , so now i'm watching this video as a refresher , and it's helping me out so much more than the donut tutorial did
not to hate on the donut tutorial , but this is just so amazingly better for people in my position where even though they followed the tutorial and made the donut , they were basically just copying the work he was doing . thank you a million times over dude
Yeah I did the same thing. had to go back to previous tutorials on donut a lot. But I am thinking to start this. Thanks your comment helped me in the decision.
good to know I'm not the only one who feels this. I thought I was just dumb lol
@@jebtalks1152 same lol
saaaame! no hate to blender guru, but he doesn't explain exactly what you're doing and why. it is literally just for making a donut. all I learnt from his lessons were the navigation hotkeys lol.
"My name is Joey. I'm a human"... That was the BEST introduction ever! Thank you!
thats what an ai would say
I won't argue if you demand that my intelligence is artificial
@@JoeyCarlino i wont argue even if you argue
@@JoeyCarlino Hello, I have just begun using Blender and I have just realized that I downloaded Blender 4.1. Is there any difference between the varied versions of it, or do you suggest V 3.4? And will this affect anything as far as following this tutorial and actually being able to initiating these steps?
"And don't forget to save your file." Had me a good chuckle with that one lol. Love the little animated character too!
Good Luck everyone in learning Blender!
Why , is blender learning harder than programming ?
Lmao
thanky!!
Indeed
This is quite frankly the most well structured and best Blender tutorial videos!!! I was honestly surprised when I saw the view count on this video! It deserves to be in the millions!!! Keep it up!!! 💜
yes you are right
i wish i could subscribe 1000 times
You are the 3D Saint for creating this video! Really appreciate the time and effort you put into this community.
after ages of wanting to learn 3d i got started with this tutorial and learned the ropes pretty quickly! the donut tutorial was always a little unclear to me and i felt like it didn't teach much, so i'm going through a bunch of your tutorials. so far it's been great!
Finally a beginners tutorial I can actually follow, thank you so so much for saying what keys each shortcut you use, this makes a huge difference to a complete novice like me
best tutorial, i can never focus on the donut tutorial, but for some reason i was 100% focused here, it was fun lol
Everyone who is new to blender needs this video!! I thought I had the basic stuff down but there are so many helpful tips in here. Thank you!!
I love the perspective shifting hallway that smoothly transitioned to the viewport. Amazing stuff!
Man, congrats. Just made a video in such a profesional way is an amazing thing. You should be paid by YT just for the quality. On top of that, you explain very well. I feel sorry I can not help with your patreon.
I'm happy to help, don't worry about patreon
Thanks for the video. You showed a lot that others skipped over, mainly with the very basic stuff that most assume is widely known or something. Also all of the time you repeated the shortcuts really helped them stick a bit better. Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos on blender
Such an excellent video, well paced to watch through once for an overview and then go back as needed and slow down. Brilliant work.
Thank you so much, I've learned so much and enjoyed the video and the learning, I did struggle with the well and the size of the bricks.
if anyone else is having trouble with that I have these measurements:
X =0.35m
Y =0.2m
Z =0.23m
This tutorial was so detailed! It's my first time using blender in over 10 years and with all the new features and upgrades I was so insanely overwhelmed. But this video made it so much easier to re-learn everything I had lost. I made a post with my render on the discord and am hopping into the next tutorial now!
Great tutorial! One of my fav youtubers when it comes to blender/3d content. Cant wait to see the next tutorial !
Incredible content. Want to start doing this and your videos are just amazing. Thanks for taking the time to create them. Really easy to follow and clear.
hands down the best beginners guide out there
This videos is EXTREMELY comprehensive and I absolutely love it!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this and uploading it so all us plebs can learn how to 3D model stuff! I've just barely gotten started, but already I'm loving how explanatory you are with everything and how easy you make the navigation sound. I don't feel so hopeless with you helping me along this Blender journey!
Amazing tutorial. I've been around the youtube block for some time now, and the potential for this channel is insane. Keep it up!
Hi Joey, warm greetings from Indonesia. I want to thank you for making this tutorial. It helps me a lot and please don't delete this video so I can always get back here everytime I need help.
Yesss! I don’t need the basics, but I adore how you simplify technical stuff like geometry nodes and rigging.
So I’ll absolutely be recommending you to everyone wanting to get started now with Blender in general like I already recommend you for geometry nodes! 😁
Excellent introduction to Blender's tool set, looking forward to going through the rest of your videos. Thanks!
28:52 leaving this here bc i need it tmr
What a fantastic tutorial! Thank you for such detailed and thoughtful instructions and information 👍🙏
this is gonna help so many people. good luck to everyone trying to learn blender!
After 20 years fighting in Maya as a TD only this video made me start learning blender deeper. The best tutorial ever! Thanks
You went above and beyond even the pdf 🤯
My man making timeless videos!!!! lesss gooooooooo
I'm learning Blender to enhance my comic book art workflow and you're saving my life here
Great Video. Was a pleasure to follow along and really easy to comprehend.
THANK YOU FOR THIS. I'm trying out 3d animation and no other tutorials help. This one is long yes, but it covers everything and genuinely explains it well. Idk how some people try to explain it within a 15 minute video. This helped me a lot.
THIS was the first tutorial I could properly follow and complete, thank you. I am so excited to learn more and will use the rest of your content as you are SO through and easy to follow along with.
This was a great refresher after not using Blender for a long time, thank you!
An absolutely fantastic tutorial. I feel so much more confident opening up blender. I might not be able to recreate a masterpiece like this in an hour, but with practice I'll get there. Thank you so much for this amazing content!
2 minutes in and you have already provided so much more information than so many others. And you have done it in such an easy to understand way. Your organization is absolute top tier! Thank you so much for making this! As a viewer I can clearly tell how seriously you take this and also how much you love making these videos. P.S. The cheat sheet is a god-send. I am very overwhelmed by all the shortcuts in Blender. You have no idea how nice it is to have someone make a shortcut cheat sheet for you.
i am not a beginner, ive been using blender for abt a few yrs .. i am here just to see your ways of doing things and see what i can learn :)
because i love how u explain things
WOW ! A beginner tutorial that's actually for beginners. Thank you. I just started Blender 4 and have looked at so many "beginner tutorials" and it's clear that they are not remembering how it was when they were beginner's. You have helped me understand how things work and I can actually follow along because you are explaining everything you are doing and we don't have to figure out what you did.. thank you.
You deserve so much more subs Joey. Keep grinding!
that was amazing, so helpful and so easy to follow ❤
thank you so much! I enjoyed every second of this and learned so much
this is really good
Holy moly you have become a god and that smooth animation
thank you, not only was educational, it was funny too!! I love your character! he's too cute!!
I really appreciate you making these videos I'm new to blender I wouldn't have never have figured this out on my own so thanks😁
i tried to follow the famous donut tutorial and got so frustrated nothing seemed to work out! this video is what every beginner should start with. thank you so much for all your time and effort.
A few days ago I subscribed to you to learn blender - and here is such a nice surprise :)
This is the first time blender has clicked with. Might actually stick with it this time, thanks to you!
Thank you for the video!!! It rocks!!! Feel like a very solid foundation!!
Learned so much about blender thanks to your videos. Thank youuu so much 🎉
dude you are an amazing teacher
ok this vid is actually super good for beginners beginners
This video is perfect. You offer so much support and work with the viewer. It's really good and very professional, keep it up :D
yoooooooooo what a good video man, love the animations
Bloody hell this was fun ! Learned so much. Hardest part, was to figure out and get used to camera movement and I accidentally without knowing in the beginning moved 3d cursor... Which only made things harder until further on reaching clear explanation about pivot points lol. Thank you o/
So what you are saying is that yu are basically the blender god-
This is INSANELY amazing, I just got your videos on my recommended (it was block_blender) and I am speechless. I'm surprised you don't have 5 million subscribers. The amount of detail you put into your videos is incredible! Keep it up, your content and teaching are amazing! 👏
Thanks for this tutorial
I'm halfway through this tutorial right now and I gotta say, I think I'm doing a pretty good job following this video. Although, I had trouble figuring out the camera controls and shortcuts, the PDF was just simply a life saver! I didn't quite get 100% of what he's making, but at least it looks a little bit close to the original thing! I am learning little by little..
I thoroughly the effort you've put in there!
There is only one thing I would suggest is that you get "Power toys" for windows, and use the cursor finder while filming stuff like this. Double tap CTRL to highlight the mouse
Thanks!
Excellent! A toolbox for me. Thanks.
Thanks for telling me not to get overwhelmed. I'm sitting here going man, it's great to have all the keybinds for m/kb, m, emulated configs, but man is it a lot😅. Great video! Thank you
Awesome mind blowing thanks a lot 🙏💐
thank you for reminding me to save!
Starting my new journey today!
6 minutes in and im already liking the pace of this video lol
this is so useful :D
1 hour of straight facts
Great video
Amazing vid thanks so so much
Hey Joey you are really awesome...
SO just fyi, if one is learning blender via tutorial and switching between the video and the software on different screens and then forgets to click into blender again before pressing 1 to look front on, they will be taken straight to 6.25 and immediately jump-scared by Suzanne the Monkey overlaid with a scream. 😂 Theoretically... Totally didn't happen to me many.. many times. 😅
In all seriousness though! This tutorial was amazing and so very helpful! I am so thankful for finding you. I've tried a couple of times over the years to start learning blender after playing around in DAZ Studio for years and wishing I could make my own meshes but this is definitively the farthest I've ever gotten and I am so proud of my little low poly scene. 🥰 I'm nearly finished the second vid in the series but stuck on the bike. I'm going to move on to geometry nodes for a bit and come back to it with fresh eyes. Thank you so so much for taking the time to make these amazing, informative tutorials! ❤
Also just want to say that as a beginner, the shortcuts are so overwhelming so I really really appreciate that you repeat them every single time because it becomes somewhat of a mantra and makes it easier to learn. Shift A, mesh, cube, tab edit mode, G Z 1, tab object mode, scale it down. Pretty sure most of that is from the second tutorial. But I will remember it and probably think it every time I add a new mesh to the viewport for a long time to come. 😂
a 1:24 into your tutorial and already learned something new 😀
This is great
I've just started learning blender by watching tutorials for beginner on TH-cam. You explain things so clearly and very easy to follow. Definitely helped a lot. Thank you so much!
Thanks
thanks king
Ur my hero
in all honesty this video helped so much but im now learning blender is so complicated due to the many different ways to do the simplest things lmao
I love the flapjack scream. 😱
time to watch this again
36:43 This is making me feel like a pleb
Joey, I thought I should point out that the "F9" hotkey is not a "construction history" but a "last action" meaning if you click on the object after fiddling around with other objects or even moving the object "F9" won't allow you to define the parameters again. I spent hours watching and rewatching the video trying to get back to the parameters with "F9". i thought my keyboard was broken. so I tried that hotkey on three different keyboards. googled and searched what was going on and found what happened. I still love the tutorial, don't take this as a criticism in ANYWAY. I still don't understand the workings of Blender to even suggest if a construction history would even work much less make a suggestion for a cool addon that would allow you to reconfigure the parameters way after the fact, but it would be awesome if it were possible.😁
If you are interested in being less destructive with modeling, you should check out the modifiers and geometry nodes
I highly recommend anyone new to Blender to go into Edit -> Preferences -> Navigation, and under orbit & pan, tick on depth next to auto. This will let you scroll in as much as you want and won't slow down the zoom.
Love the mini youtube tutorial in the blender tutorial lol
OMG! I absolutely love the way you teach. you have a wonderful style that helps beginners like me feel at ease. i've been trying to get going on the more complex modeling but always get stuck on the simple stuff like user interface and how the heck do i find the "fill-in-the-blank" because other tutorials assume the user somehow intuitively knows where stuff is and how to get back to things just opened up? I usually spend more time trying to find the cube i just made and how to center it on the screen before i just give up and walk away. thanks for understanding that and showing the little frustrating things and anticipating that beginners can get lost and overwhelmed. i almost wish that blender would have a tab just for beginners and progressively add tabs as you learn new skills. and I simply love your avatar! so cute. please keep teaching and, i haven't checked, but do u do a video on how you made the avatar?
I'm happy to help. My next video is about how I make my avatar scenes, but I also have a playlist about character modeling that will have better step-by-step videos
Thankyou
You, kind sir, are a true professional!
Many thanks for your effort
I'm super new to blender and this video tutorial was one of the best I've seen so far. Following along was mostly easy and fun! I hope more people see this and get into Blender it's so much fun
great video, absolutely love it !! but i cant tell you the times that I pressed 1 to view from the front only to notice i was in my browser window on my second monitor and the whole video just jumps back to 6:25 😂 and the sound effect at that point in the video perfectly describes my feelings lol was that on purpose?
31:00 The cylinder triangle shows the Z axis sideways after rotation.
I'm watching this wile i'm waiting for a big rendering to finish ... 😊
I might not be the most smart person when it comes to blender but i gotta be honest, i need to start doing simple stuff like this instead of wanting to do models for animations
thats what im saying bro lol. My first mistake was doing the donut series 💀💀
youre gonna make a game dev outta me pa
theres been so many times in this video id press a button on the numpad to change my view and would hop around different sections of the video
Not only did I learn blender, I learned how to go through a youtube video frame by frame 😂😂
I am a just 0.5 above beginner level of blender so here I am.
So I'm at roughly the 37:30 mark and when making the water for the well, I thought I would download some PBR materials and turned em on in the addons menu - when I put the texture onto the cylinder, _everything_ else vanished and refuses to come back (I've hit all the H shortcuts, checked the eyeballs off and on, changed views with the number pad, switched back and forth between object and edit mode, switched to material mode and back... Nothing is working to bring all my objects back 😢
