I strongly suggest the donut from Blender Guru to get a quick tutorial that covers a lot of different things of Blender! Depending on how familiar you are with it.

i second this! a great series of tutorials. lots of great resources on yt in general

And thirded on suggesting to check out the Blender Guru. That tutorial series certainly helped me out.

I will probably take a look this week. Th Donut tutorials showed up on my YouTube feed a couple of weeks ago, before I got the new machine.

cool to see you getting back into 3d! i spend a lot of time in blender, feel free to hit me up if you want to talk shop

Ther'es a Blender group in SL within the Builder's Brewery.

MY GOD!!! The details just pop out on the breasts!!!

You could do this too, Jim. It's free, and your Surface is 64bit.

Ooh, SHINY! (And the donut is hard).

noice :D

Ive been learning from Blender Guru, doughnuts + coffee! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)b

Same Now. When I finish the scene I'll post it in my scraps.

I still know how long it took me back then to understand the modifier functions ... But blender is a program with unlimited possibilities if you have perseverance.

Not too old to learn new tricks!

That's the thing about 3D, is because every few years there is a shift , and you have to learn the new method. First it was low Poly and low bit rate textures (Quake2). Then it was higher poly models and 24 and 32 bit textures. Then it was stacked textures and procedural foot placement, and now it's shaders, NPR rendering if necessary, and AI control of Animation selection. And that is just games. In Film, it's moving away from 3D digital actors and green screen, to LED Environments and real actors with Deep Fake faces. We shall see how it goes, but, you have to keep learning.

New female werewolf game model, here we come!

Eventually when I figure out how to do it, Though I am waffling between fur render or toon render.

Oh, dynamic fur of course! Even in ARK, it looks pretty nice seeing it gently blowing in the breeze. But with real time ray tracing becoming standard, and engines like Unreal 5 on the way, fur is going to see new levels of amazing. Surely you'd like to get in on that?

I started 3D some months ago on Blender. For making characters, this playlist really helped me. It covers everything: the modeling, the rigging, posing, UV texturing, the fur and even facial expression.
Stackexchange's blender section is also a nice resource.

One thing that is eternal in 3d modeling is topology, can't do anything without it!

Topology is a necessity for animated characters, I just hope the retopology tools in Blender are nice, otherwise i'll have to fall back on 3D Cote.
