Blender Beginner Class - Low Poly Human
Welcome to one of our beginner classes on learning Blender 3D. For this class, we will be covering the process of creating a low poly human character in blender using as little geometry as necessary. The model that you will create can then be used as a base for any future projects that require human character models, so you don't have to start from scratch.
The tools that are going to be covered in this class include....
Use of reference material
Loop cuts
Extruding
Vertex Slide
Edge Slide
Prerequisites:
Ensure you have Blender installed on your machine. A full sized keyboard and mouse is also ideal when modelling 3D objects. We will guide you in what reference material you should look for but it will be up to you what reference images you use. A basic knowledge of navigating and selecting in 3D space is recommended before staring this course.
The Class Project:
The class project is split into three tasks and is detailed in the video titled 'your homework'.
The 1st task is to create a new model from scratch without looking back on your work in the class itself, to see what needs improving.
You will also use the low poly character that you have created as a base to add more detail and create a more realistic looking human model.
