Compiling some of the suggestions by others (thanks!): - When creating the plane at first, you can simply merge the vertices into one instead with M - For symmetry, you can alternatively use a mirror modifier of course. I used symmetrize because I thought it would be good to show as not everyone is aware of it and it can be pretty useful, and it doesn't necessarily mirror the entire model -Instead of booleans you can simply have the meshes joined together and then use Remesh (Shift+R + Ctrl+R) over at the Sculpting workspace. Note this could take some time to process and the results might vary. You can then apply dyntopo.

OH! I didn't know M merged points! I've had the utter irritation of not knowing how to merge vertices into the structure making modifying really annoying after breaking a face or something

This was a ridiculously easy-to-follow process. As a newbie into the digital sculpting scene, thank you very much. This has just saved me hours of headaches.

Instead of doing booleans simply join the meshes with ctrl+j, go into sculpt mode hit shift+r to set the remesh resolution and then hit ctrl+r to apply the voxel remesh.

Bro I can't escape this video, it's been suggested to me like 10 times in the past week

Never have I watched a more audibly captivating and useful tutorial in my life. Now I have after watching this. Thank you dude! This tutorial is superb!

Nothing I have watched till now had made blender less intimidating, this makes me want to start learning tonight!

A small note but removes a few steps. When adding that plane at the beginning, go into edit mode, make sure its four vertices are selected, hit "M" for the merge menu. From the drop-down hit "By distance." This will merge the four starting vertices at the center into one. Save a few extra clicks.

Saves even more steps. Replace the cube with a vertex then save as startup file

You actually need to merge at center and not by distance, but good tip

Guys, why do you turn a plane or a cube into a vertex at all? You can also add a single vertex right away. Just enable the built-in addon Add Mesh: Extra Objects.

I'm finding this now because someone posted it to twitter and my god, this is so cool for a beginner like myself

I hope this information could be useful to someone. To align vertices to a specific axis (x, y ,z) with 3 key presses: 1. In edit mode, selected the target vertices. 2. press 's' to scale then press either 'x', 'y', 'z' and finally press '0' *press esc to cancel To slide the vertices along the line, press g double time

This video proves that i REALLY need to explore modifiers more! I had no idea about the "Skin" Modifier! and have been manually adding bones for years :(

this must be the single best blender tutorial on youtube

Oh my god. I wish I had found this sooner. I did an entire model and now I have a way to actually remake it without the headache.

Thank you, this was a very easy to understand tutorial. Appreciate it much. Happy new year to you.

i watch this stuff over and over and still dont get the extrude bs.

An amazingly good tutorial. I never would have thought to separate the legs. That fixes my main problem with the skin modifier!

This was really helpful, I always have trouble creating a base shape, this solves everything. I highly recommend this and might even show this video in class if I ever get permission to teach my peers.

Just throw a Remesh modifier on top of that whole stack to have much more sculpt-friendly mesh to start with :)

Thank you sooo much I've been looking for a specific tutorial like this for ages 😭 and then your video just popped up on my recommendation. Thanks a lot, you deserve my sub 🙂👍

Wow, this method looks cool :D

Exactly what I was looking for, much appreciated!

This is a seriously great tutorial!

Great explanation and good tips 👍 I already knew about the skin modifier, but didn't know about the bool tool and the sculpting fix for the mesh. Thank u very much! New sub 😅

Thanks for great tutorial. I learned a lot through this video which is easy to understand.

Brillliant! Thank you for the tutorial.

Lots of good info, and well put together.

Nice and simple tut. Thanks.

this is very cool and useful!

Just like the good old days of playing Spore ahah

Hi There! Found this from your Twitter. You should definitely create some more blender tutorials, you're very easy to follow, and I've never thought to start creating a base mesh like this! You've convinced me to jump back into blender ^^

This is exactly what I needed! Thanks for making this

Man.. Thank you KZread gods for showing me this in my recommendation feed, and thank you! For the awesome simple video. Consider making more, I subscribed simply to show you my gratitude for this intuitive approach. If you are interested, I'll happily show you the model I was able to finish based on this technique!

this was super helpful! I just got blender and I’m super new to 3d modeling and animation, I have done 2d and it was ok-ish but this tutorial was so helpful to help me with a base!

Finally a tutorial I understand ty so much

This is so handy! Good stuff.

Holy shit that was great. Literal magic. Awesome thanks for sharing your workflow.

that was great, man! I appreciate it.😇

Do you think you could do a speed-sculpt showing us how you might transform this into a final piece?

useful and short. nice!

Sick tutorial!

Amazing tutorial! Subed. Thank you

"I really like this."

Wow, thanks! This is really helpful; my models will look way better with this method

Thanks for the nice video!

very nice

All the time I would not have(or feels like I wouldn't have) wasted on bones if I had only learned the create armature before now. T.T And the part where you can extrude multiple times from one vertex and still get more than one mesh might help me on my hydra (maybe??) but i can't wait to try it!

thank you so much you are the best

I had no idea about mark root, legend

nicely done; subbed

TYSM!!

Bro made me felt like a pro in an hour 💀

Thanks you so much is useful !

Can you please create a Knucker Dragon Lowploy model in Blender so aspiring animators could use it on July 5, 2022 ?

Hey thanks for the tutorial. I have a question however. Whenever I join the limbs to the body, either the body or the limbs disappear. Why? I have tried deleting the connections from the body, and making whole new limbs, out of a new vertex. Same problem, what am I doing wrong

Why do I get a huge block when I add the skin modifier instead of the sort of small manageable pipe you get when you add yours?

It is a really good video for newbies like me, so thank you, it's really nice and awesome how you explain it, but when I'm turning on the Dyntopo, all the modifiers disappear and I only have the Vertex' left. I tried to handle it somehow, but I still don't know how. Can someone please say me how can I fix it?

In engineering, having a structured mesh is a pain in the ass. I wonder if there’d be any good to learn this software to mesh complex structures. Looks fairly easy to do it in here. That would be cool if it lets you export a mesh.

Of course you can export? As for learning it there are thousands of tutorials or there

Great Tutorial, but for newer blender users such as myself, its quite hard to comprehend just what your clicking to do what your doing right now. even the most trivial of things such as your top down view I simply dont know how to do.

Blender can be super overwhelming at first, I suggest watching a separate tutorial meant for beginners and taking more time to familiarize yourself with the layout. I've been using it for years and I'm still discovering things.

When I use the symmetrize, the body disappears while the legs are duplicated. Anyone else have this problem? (and yes, it's on the +X to -X) Even attempting the mirror modifier I can't just mirror the legs, can anyone help?

W

How do I see the vertices on my plane?

A problem I have is that this method, when going into the body, creates a bunch of squares???? I'm not sure why it's happening but it's just messy and buggy and unfortunately I don't see it happen here. Any ideas of what could be happening???

Great tutorial! How did you select the leg by itself at 4:55?

Why not use a mirror modifier for the symmetry? you can use an empty for the mirror plane

most likely because if your going to use it for any form of animation one legs movement would change the other leg aswell.

"no I can't go to your mother's birthday I have things to trace"

this is fantastic. thank you. i think, after converting to mesh it would be easier and more elegant to got right to sculp mode and remesh it with "ctrl + r". so no need for boolian and dyntopo.

and in the beginning you can create a single vert (without creating a plane first). maybe you need to activate the mesh extra objects addon first.
