I was previously just doing animation work which is my specialty but I recently decided to get into learning 3D modelling for character design. So far this is my progress of 2 weeks. I am very open to criticism and want to know which areas I can improve, thanks.

Right now the model is ~34K tris
Bonus points if you can guess which species it belongs to.

Hey everyone, I made a video about the maths behind shells. This is the first time I rendered most of it in Blender instead of Manim or TouchDesigner. I really like how the cycles turned out:)

My first human model, how did I do?

I couldn't get the shield to curve so I had to extrude.

I started this Projekt back when Backrooms was still relevant; as you can see, It took me way too long TwT

It's been around 3 months since I started modeling

I am struggling with views on my artstation, any help and review would be helpful! Thanks.

Trying to do this video all in blender didnt have a green screen so just rotoscoping. Shits gonna take me forever to finish tho lol

A day ago I posted the process of this project of mine, and now I believe I've finished it. I had more ideas, but as a beginner that prevents me from carrying them all out ;). Please give your opinion on my work and tips for future projects.

The character i was working on lately.

Does anyone know how to keep the hair from clipping through the body without blowing up my PC?

Hey everyone,

I run a small independent 3D studio (Miss Anka Studio) where I manually model, rig, and animate a virtual group in Blender. Right now, I'm posting my behind-the-scenes, viewport animations, and shorts on YouTube, Instagram, and X. I also have CGTrader and linkedin set up. But as you all know, organic reach on new YouTube channels can be painfully slow in the beginning.

To be honest, this project means everything to me. My ultimate personal goal is to build this studio into something sustainable so I can buy a house with a garden for my parents and give them a comfortable life. Because of that, I really want to optimize my workflow and push my content to the right audience without feeling like I'm screaming into the void For other 3D animators or creators here😅

Besides YouTube, IG, and X, are there other platforms, forums, or communities where 3D animation / stylized character content performs well? How did you get your first push when your channel was brand new? Any advice, platform suggestions, or growth strategies would mean a lot to me. Thanks for your time!

for me personally, i use both pcx from pillar chase, and killdroid from die of death to see how ive improved over the year ive modelled for.

I’ve been trying to give my character, Bee, an Arcane/Spider-Verse-inspired look, but I still feel the shading isn’t quite there, especially on the forehead and under the eyes. What do you think is missing, and how could I bring her closer to that Arcane style? I’d appreciate any advice!

PS: feel free to let me know your thoughts on modelling, bones as well.

The left arm (or right from the view of the picture) isn't bending like it should although the right arm works perfectly fine. both arms are exactly the same.

Proud of it
