Video Tutorial: Modeling a Lowpoly Character - Polyloop

Carter · 14th August 2007, 07:36

Hello everyone,

I realize this is my first post to this community, and I don't want to seem as though I'm spamming it. But I'm quite active and several other forums (cgtalk, blenderartists, subdivisionmodeling, etc) so I thought I'd cross-post this here as well.

In anticipation of my upcoming DVD on modeling the female body, I have released a free video tutorial on modeling a lowpoly character in Blender. The tutorial focuses on all the necessary aspects of lowpoly modeling to make the viewer comfortable enough in the process to begin creating their own characters.
Several of the topics covered in the tutorials are: edgeloops, triangles, deformation, and more.

The tutorial has a running time of approximately 50 mins and a resolution of 1024 x 768. The file size is 191 megabytes. Several screenshots from the tutorial have been attached below as a preview

Please visit http://www.montagestudio.org/Site/Tutorials.html for the download link.

Enjoy!

It was interesting - to watch Blender in action.
Thank you.

A similar tutorial also for Hexagon would be fantastic!

I watched your tutorials Jonathan, and I must say you are almost as good as Thomas.

Thank you for these tutorials on Blender. I was hoping someone here would have tutorials for Blender as well. I like the fact that you told what tools you were selecting and what the hot key for it was. The good thing about your tutorials is that your technique can be used in any 3D modeling software. Once again, thank you for your contribution here.

I've never seen any of Thomas's stuff but I'll take that as a compliment

I've done my best to make them applicable to other applications as well so I'm glad to hear that it's working.

You should check out Thomas' work. They are incredible!
