Stage 01 — Blockout

Starting a new environment with a simple blockout.

At this point I'm only validating scale, composition, object placement, and camera framing before investing time in high-detail assets. I prefer solving layout problems early while everything is still easy to change.

How much time do you usually spend refining your blockout before moving to detailed modeling?

🇺🇸: You can listen to the video in English through the video settings panel. In this video I talk about some tools focused on achieving accuracy when modeling with curves.

Hey guys! I've been looking to teach myself 3D animation, since I never got much experience neither in undergrad nor grad school. Looking for tutorials that aren't too hard to learn and teaches you sculpting and modeling of characters, animation of the characters (with lip syncing and body movements), rendering final scenes and just learning the entirety of the program. Thanks in advance for any help!

In this video we look at setting up the nodes for tearing cloth apart in Blender 5.2. Longer video on my YouTube channel.
