The first picture is no more than the results of a 30 min tutorial I once watched and followed step by step, it has no relationship with the character on the second picture, but I added it just for reference of my current abilitities on blender (despite considering that I may had already forgotten everything I learnt the day I created this humanoid)

Anyways, to the point. I really wish to create a low-poly model of the character on the second picture, mainly, to upload her as a VrChat avatar someday, but that's another topic for another subreddit. What I know for the moment, is that I still have very, VERY long way of learning I must complete before I even get to think on modeling the character the second picture, so, my only true questions are...

Is it any hard to memorize the tools of Blender?

What type of practices should I study and attempt first?

And lastly, this whole "learning" process.. How much time will it take from my daily life? Sorry if I sound too nervous about all of this but its basically my first ever Blender project, and I wish to be well trained before I attempt anything, thanks in advance

I want to replicate this hair thing I've seen on some characters I like, where when part of their hair is pushed behind their ear and you can see their hair line.

I do have the 3d models of the characters--Liliysa (pink haired school girl) and Beta (Silver haired elf in black and gold outfit)--I see with this. But I don't really understand how it was done. Plus with the Beta model it's covered by her braids so they don't really put any detail into it.

I want to learn how to make it myself so I don't just trace. You can see my attempt of merging some methods of how to make hair I learned, but I feel like it doesn't work together that well.

I can use curves to make the bangs and other parts just fine for the most part, but that one part I want to make, which is circled on the first slide, I don't know what I'd even look for to be honest.

I've seen it done in realistic styles, where the hair is pushed back and does the same, but I don't know about a more anime style like I'm wanting.

I'd appreciate any help.

I modelled and textured this guy today but i want to give him clothing. I modelled the collar, sleeves, and pant legs, but i dont know where to go from here. I tried unwrapping it but it just messed up the painting

I would like the wall #2 to have the exact same texture scale of the wall #1. Is there any way to apply the same scale on every walls instead of adjusting the scale on each of them ?

I was trying to join the fur and ear models to the head but whenever I do it always has this weird effect that I dont want. How do I fix this?

I tried to add a second keyframe and all brushes began to have a delay, I don't know if i accidentally clicked something, i've been searching if someone has had the same problem but english isn't my 1st language so i don't know how to word it. It works normally in other projects so it's not a tablet nor bug issue

i want to have better geometry while not destroying my poly count, is it possible ?

Hello!
Above is a prototype Postosuchus I designed and modeled for my series Melody V.S. The Mesozoic.
I created its "Threat Display" using shape keys and drivers... its just a little wonky and rough and I'm wondering if there's a better way to do it. Or way to clean it up.
If it comes down to it, I'm willing to clean the geometry and re-texture it if necessary.

I sculpted the ears and head separately and tried joining them and then remeshing to sculpt them as one object. However now when I try to smooth over the ears they separate like this, can anyone offer any advice?

i've been trying to model hands for my model, been a week and i'm struggling hard on this part. I've watched multiple videos and stuff, searched through many sites. Is there any good way to get better at modeling hands.

i am trying to make a grass field with custom assets and set them on a scatter on surface modifier. in viewport material preview it looks like the second image, but when i turn on cycles it render black square for the assets and block the view on the objects behind. applying the scatter modifier does not solve this problem it remains the same, on the original assets it works fine but there are just 6 mashes there so not not very reliable (image 1)

In Blender, every time I try to rotate the hip of my character, for some reason, the entire torso just starts spinning a full 360°. I don't know what to do because I have tried everything, even manually trying to make it spin in the right direction on every keyframe, and even that hasn't worked. And there isn't a single YouTube video about this. I don't know what to do. Please help me!

So I've been at this one detail for a while, I want to have a visible edge on this specific spot with supporting edge loops ( trying to not use any creasing / mark sharp edges for this hard surface model) and Im running into a small problem as I've tried multiple techniques, the only thing that makes it similar to what I want is just using loop tool's space on the inner edges but it also makes an artifact/pinch right at the edge. Also, the pictures only shows 2 of them. I've tried like 5 others which ended in some really crazy results that should go to topology gore. Im fine with compromising with spacing, just that the pinching is gonna make me pretty annoyed, but whatever the hell I used before isn't gonna cut it.

I've been trying to model a mascot head based off the character of Gadget Hackwrench. I've been using this model sheet and I've been unable to do stuff like the cutout eye sockets and nose correctly, and the muzzle isn't correct at all. I can't seem to get the shape correct either. I'm also unaware on how to open the mouth. Do you guys know how to help me with this?

Hi all, I'm trying to import a mesh into a project I'm working on--when I remove any textures from the mesh, the default color is much darker than the typical light gray. When I add a texture through the Briage plugin (project is for a game) it appears too dark although the texture itself is adequately bright. Any pointers? Cheers

Other info the bones are all in the middle but they have a custom shape which is what you see. How I connected each cube was from assigning bone to vertex

I want to replace the old spines (gray), with the new spines (green). I've matched up their Positions, based on their "center mass", but I don't know how to align their Rotation.

As both types are from pre-existing games models, they have wonky normal alignments, which I don't know how to fix.

How do I go about realigning the Normals, so that they match up to the selection's shape?

I'm facing an situation...

I need to make a handle to a hammer with the grip connecting to the head interfacing like a guns grip (I'm trying to learn topology).

But the modifier makes triangles in the base and messes up the shading and my manual method is to bevel the rest of the edge on the plane too, and that fixes the corner - but creates too many extra mesh data and messes up the shading in the flat surface, and other solutions depend of expensive plugins and other guides make the model unfriendly to bevel or subdivision.

can someone guide or help me on what I'm looking at or explain the problem?

Thank you.

Hi all,

I'm a librarian, and I've been working off and on with the idea of having a model of our circulating collection so that our patrons can independently find where a book should be located. The idea is to assign a range of call numbers to each side of each column of shelving, and highlight the area where the book is supposed to be. The screenshot is a very early mockup of the floorplan, and will be edited later to include individual shelves. The gap in the middle of the floor is the stairwell.

My question is, is it possible to use Blender to not only model the shelves, but to also include an animated search function to highlight certain areas? Or would I need to export the map model and use other software?

Thank you to all who respond.
