Hi! 3D-Artist student here! I think the main reason why your models look ''flat'' compared to the original references, is because there wasn't any lighting in your scenes. For your next Blender adventure, it could maybe be a good idea to tackle lighting and rendering, to really finish off your pieces. Aside from that, great work! I can see how this could be an inspiration to future Blender artists!

Seriously how did you youtube guys improve your blender skill so fast. Another youtuber made a freaking giant transformer in 30 days of blender. I think I'm dumb idk, great video! Welcome back

@@overphildev A lot of interest in art, and content in general, is the uniqueness that individuals add to them, how they perceive and then communicate that back out to everyone else. The model you made is a different, but still an entirely recognizable take on a giraffe. You could totally see that outline in a newspaper comic or as a silhouette on a children's toy.

as an advanced blenderer, im telling u, the giraffe was ur best piece!

First video I’m seeing from you, high quality video!

Really entertaining and encouraging as well. Great improvement overall. Keep at it

HOLY- i swear it looks so good!! im suprised how much 30 days can get you!

thank you for this video, I'm struggling with Blender and this helped inspire me to keep going

This video got yourself a new subscriber. Really loved it!

Blender in 30days is crazy. You are incredibly fast learner. My first two months wig blender were super hard 😅 nowhere near yours models

Would love to see a video of you modeling something from scratch to get an idea on how its done

Let's go! Makes me happy to see you're back at it. Please don't be so hard to yourself when it comes to "steal" ideas, art works like that, if you don't know how something is shaped, copy, copy and copy again until your brain is ready to create new shapes out of that copied image. Carry on! p.s: the new model look great!

This is a HUGE improvement to the look of the game, keep up the good work!

Cool, anyways here's a cookie recipe - 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened - 1 cup granulated sugar - 1 cup packed brown sugar - 2 large eggs - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 3 cups all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon baking soda - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 2 cups chocolate chips Instructions: 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. 3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. 4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. 5. Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough. 6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. 7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may still appear slightly undercooked, but they will firm up as they cool. 8. Transfer onto a drying rack. 9. Wait until room temperature to eat to prevent burning your mouth or hands, and enjoy!

Nice! This inspires me to try to do this!

Awesome video! I am considering something similar. I've done part of the donut tutorial, but I think going through something like the low poly playlist like you mentioned may be more helpful. If you have any good tips/resources on the texturing and having parts move, please let me know. I want to move my game to 3d, the models will be fairly simple, but I'll definitely need a few tricks to create different types. How did you setup the fence variants and bring that into your engine? Very cool idea.

The scarecrow and axe models look like something youd buy in an asset store. Amazing progress🎉

Thanks for sharing your journey. I'm curious if you used a lot of modifiers to do your modeling or if you just directly edited the primitives? I'm learning Blender myself and keep trying to remember how/when to use the more advanced modifiers so I can develop a more nondestructive, professional workflow, but it slows me down. I know I can model faster if I focus on just making vs. doing it the way a lot of books and courses tech it. Curious your thoughts on that.

This looks VERY good.

You could bevel the sides of Hollow knight character to make it more round looking, Ctrl B in edit mode. For the Shovel Knight, I'd probably use a sphere for the head, then delete half of the sphere, and extrude the bottom part, sorry , just a lot of the time, I tend to look at the shapes of objects, and think which mesh works best for it. Great video.

Here is something extra you need to learn as a game dev. Bake normals. It's not something complicated, but some of your low-poly assets can be even lower. You don't need (or want) each brick on that wheel in game, all you need is a cylinder with the lighting from your original wheel baked in. The same goes for the rooftop. A giraffe was one of my first projects. Not the one from Grant Abbitt because I started before his channel existed. My first project was an alien, which is something very complex for beginners, but I always start learning something with a difficult project. At first glance it looked fine, but with the topology I set a new low with how horrendous it was in reality. Then I started following tutorials (I'm still doing sometimes) and improved my modeling. My giraffe ended up fine because I was used already with how Blender works. You can always improve. And follow tutorials, you learn more stuff. Don't copy everything from them, try something else based on what you see there. Funny thing, you struggled with round objects, I struggled with sharp ones due to the ways we both learned.

we gon talk abt how that giraffe was sick

Me: in my first project I made a sword with lights! OverPhil: mE mAdE rOcCkK

you should add the giraffe as the final boss

3D is my biggest fear, I don't even know how to move the camera in Blender. I believe the models will look 100x better with lighting and post processing and maybe some shaders

12:46 is just karen.

anyway, i'm noticing there are a lot of small details on these models that would be better accomplished via texture than geometry, such as the grains on the wood on the scarecrow [13:28] and the small gaps between planks on the chest [9:07]. but otherwise, this is great.

This video rocks.

Some personal advice, don't stop watching tutorials. As in, you don't have to recreate/follow every tutorial you make, and can just watch it for the process. Programs like Blender have many many MANY tools, hidden or in plain sight, oftentimes when you see a seemingly complex model it can actually be really easy to model, only if you know the right tools. Remember, you don't know what you don't know, so you have to find a way to know.
