Low-Poly Character Model in Blockbench | Timelapse & Commentary

Can I have the bbmodel file just to see how it was made?

i gotta know you u get that wireframe look at the end

I just discovered about meshes in blockbench, in other words in a lot of my models, I suffered with individual shaping and angling and stuff, now I'm trying to learn how to use meshes since I just learned about them.

I hope the pixel art still is prominent in your channep

may i have the .bbmodel project to learn with? please.

SNAAAAAAKEEEE

I not have add mash

So I tried following your example and using this as a basis to create my own character. It's been going pretty well, but for some reason my character doesn't have consistent pixel sizes on the texture faces like yours seem to. Any idea why that would be happening?

I would love to let you know as someone who's desperately wanted to learn to 3D model, you're the only person I've found who not only did it in a process I was comfortable with (sculpting rather than tracing) but also showed me new tools, I thank you so much for this whole tutorial friend

why blockbench and not crocotile 3d ?

I was also wondering if you could try megaman volnutt in this style. I would really like to see how anime hair is done

How did you create the cheekbone? your video skips at that part

I need this Model

I'm using blockbench at times and for me most of problems with mirroring come from uv mapping cause it's not that perfect at times when it's automated

This video convinced me to learn Blockbench

I’m not gonna lie, while it doesn’t seem to be able to do animation in app, this program is super simple and easy to use compared to other programs usually used to model (Maya & Blender namely).


Also explaining the keys and options you use when creating is tremendously helpful to people who haven’t used 3D rendering software. New people won’t know terminology or what to look for when they want to create, and you can’t exactly google something you can’t exactly explain, so your practical examples and use cases help those people so much. All in all, you did good, you showed me a new program for me to use, and I’m sure this video will help people take the step forwards into 3D modeling!

Edit: I just saw the animate tab in the top right. My one negative point I had is gone now (outside of any fringe use cases that show up when attempting to do something outside of the devs original idea)

how do i make my uv map look as neat as yours, mine is all over the place and it leads to the face looking really asymmetrical

This video inspired me to pick up this program and make some models! Spent all day making a template for low-poly Mega Man X characters and then starting work on Zero, lol.

That's the cutest Snake I've ever seen. Great job!

I found your channel last night and since watching this video I’ve started doing some art in Blockbench and it’s the first time I’ve ever made my own art that I thought was of any actual quality and I want to thank you so much ❤️

Really awesome work! 👏🏼 I had seen blockbench before but never thought about doing the low poly stuff. I figured blender was a lot more flexible, but I might have to try it out now.

hey, blockbench user here! some stuff to note, you said there were some transparent pixels in the model when you tried the 32x size, and that is somewhat normal, as far as my experience goes. one way to close them is painting directly into the uv grid, as it fills th gaps left in the texture!
another thing is, the mirror function is a bit messy, since the uv generated is not always symmetrical, so you dont have much to blame for it to not work properly!

all in all, good job mate!

stealth blockbench tut

love these types of videos.

One question: if I'll make a new character with this program: is mine the copyright of these model? I have ridden that the license is "copyleft"...

I'm late to responding, but HAHA! I knew it was Snake! This was such an awesome video, very different from your normal pixel videos, but you brought it back when the coloring came in. I love the fact that all your videos make me want to try all these different programs, but i hate that I don't have the time to do it. Keep up the great work Brandon!

Can you fo character art based on alex kidd?

It would be fun if you made a minecraft texture pack, 16x16 :D

Yeaaah! Love Blockbench stuff, such a solid beginner friendly program.

when you name a folder
left_(something) and transform it to the other side
it will automatically name it right_(something)

Simple type models are perfect for papercraft

Really well done, absolutely captures the essence of Solid Snake! And thanks for inadvertently introducting me to blockbench! I have alwaus struggled with more complex apps like blender for gamedev and it seems like blockbench might be that perfect balance of feature-rich and user-friendly that Ive been after!

I would like to see you make something with blender!

Hhm I wonder if I could make a charecter similar to link from
Ocrani of time in this that could be fun plus it seems low spec from what I look up and given I want to do those ideas with my laptop which is rather low spec it could be fun

Hey, I'm trying to get into 3d art, animation, and modelling, and I wondered if you can extract the model to use in blender and unreal engine 5 after done? Thank you

I was looking for tutorials for this style in blockbench this is gonna be handy!

heya, could I get that snake model? it looks fun to play around with.

Cool guide, i tried to make a Sweet Tooth car model in BB after your first video about BB but still not finish it (stopped on texturing cause had a some troubles with it). I hope this this video help me to fix it.

Metal Gear Chibi.......it can't be!

Snake......SNNNAAAKKKKEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

is there any advantage to using blockbench over blender? :O

Excited for the animation tutorial you teased in the last video with the pokedex!

I would love to see more of these Blockbench tutorials. You're a life saver.

I love this

so satisfying!

Love the video, and I can't wait to see more from Blockbench!

You can make the group's first, and it'll be a little easier to manage.
