In this Beginner Blender tutorial, you will learn how to create a low poly skeleton character from start to finish. The course covers the following topics:
- Modeling: You will learn how to create the basic 3D model of a low poly skeleton character using Blender. The tutorial will guide you through the process, explaining the steps in detail, and displaying shortcuts on screen for easy reference.
- Considerations for Low Poly Characters: You will learn important considerations and techniques specific to creating low poly characters, such as optimizing topology, using efficient edge flow, and creating clean geometry.
- UVs: You will learn how to create UV maps for your low poly character, which are essential for applying textures later on. The tutorial will cover the basics of UV unwrapping and how to efficiently lay out UVs for a character model.
- Texturing: You will learn how to create simple textures for your low poly character using Blender’s texture painting tools. The tutorial will cover basic texturing techniques and how to apply textures to the UV maps created earlier.
- Lighting: You will learn how to set up basic lighting for your character model in Blender, including using different types of lights and adjusting their properties to achieve desired results.
- Rendering: You will learn how to render your low poly character using Blender’s rendering engine. The tutorial will cover basic rendering settings, including resolution, output format, and rendering options.
The tutorial is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes long and includes a detailed voiceover explaining each step of the process. Shortcuts are displayed on screen for easy reference. The course is designed for both beginners and intermediate Blender users, with no prior knowledge required. However, if you are looking for more in-depth explanations, you may want to consider the “Blender: Modeling Your First 3D Character” course by the same instructor, which is more detailed and longer in duration. The skills and techniques you learn from this tutorial can be applied not only to creating low poly skeleton characters, but also to other low poly character models of your own design.
