I Learned Blender in a Week

this is blender a 3D software to make anything you want from animations to short films sculpting art or even anime and all this is Created from a single Cube I've given myself a whole week to learn everything there is about blender with this basic plan so I'll first off be creating a simple 3D scene to just get a hang of the interface then I want to make like a cute character and as a final test I'll be creating a scene similar to these professional projects right here where mine will be among them and through a YouTube Community posts are the creating my viewers will get to vote on which one they think is mine if the majority can spot my creation I'll get a pie straight into my face but if they fail then I win and I can brag about that I actually have learned blender so let's start with the first project so first off I will be following Smith tutorial from skillshare and I started by learning the interface and all the instructions and patterns was freaking frustrating man every time I tried to resize or move the cube in any shape or form use 100 of my brain power to just know if I'm going in the x axis or y-axis but after a while I got used to the shortcuts and the buttons [Music] I didn't want to follow his tutorial like to the point so I made this berserk sword right here it doesn't really look like in berserk's world but like that's what I wanted it to be so after a couple of hours I was down with the modeling and now I moved on to texturing so for example the chefs I wanted to look wooden so I made it look Woody with a brown color it's not like that complicated it's like holding a children's book and everything was going so smoothly until the program shut down foreign [Music] I found a solution and I could retrieve it I don't have to redo three hours of progress which is good I finished up the scene with setting up a camera and made the scene look extra noise I tried to give you the scene an AI filter because he did it in this tutorial to make it look like a painting but since all the sites and websites I tried to apply this AI filter I had to pay and I don't have that money anyways Here's the final render yeah it looks awesome man like yo I have the Missouri sword it's like a little map down there like it's a shower always little mysterious has somebody like gone out on a mission or what's what's gonna happen anymore on to the next project man [Music] I started sketching some cute characters and like they all look cute except like this one right here but I can really decide on if I would choose this one or if I'm gonna choose the triangle man so I made a side view for both the characters and I can say I'm not gonna make the triangle man because he looks freaking scary so I'm gonna pick this cute little dude right here and I painted him because it was fun and off we go we saw another tutorial I'd rather drop my drawings into the project and I could start modeling now it's time to paint this bad boy so I spent hours trying to paint this body because I wanted it to look like perfect but at the end I was not really happy how it turned out but I only had three days on me so I couldn't waste any time because otherwise [Music] and now it was time for something very exciting making the clay texture it didn't turn out as perfect as I wanted it to turn out but this is how it should look like and this is how mine looked like weird man this is the black here then applying this clay texture was an absolute nightmare because I didn't really know how it worked to apply a texture to a character because I've never done it before and I'm a beginner but then like the whole painting I did on the character is gone because applying the texture to the character made my painting go away so like all my hours of effort was all for nothing so I sucked it up and started from the beginning with the coloring so I tried to paint on the body but when I painted on the body the texture went away like yo how hard can this be but then I took a gradient instead it freaking worked man and actually this turned out to be better than the other painting of the character but when I tried to paint on the mouth after doing this it painted also on the body so I'm like what the hell so I think I tried for two or three hours before I just deleted the mouth and gave up on that but I don't think it looks that bad without the mountain then I render it and this is how the finalist result looks for this cute little character I'm pretty happy how it turned out I don't know what to name this little cute guy if you want to name this cute guy just comment something in the comments anyways I don't have too much time we have arrived now I'm gonna try and create a project as good as these with everything I have learned so far but I decided to make something similar to this one where you build a home inside of an everyday object I started to draw some Concepts mostly about my trip to Japan but like I don't even just want to make something that's popular in Japanese culture like making a sushi inside of the city I wanted like to encapsulate my whole experience in a single scene so I scroll through my memories and later found a moment when I messed up with a YouTuber in Japan basically he had a YouTube Meetup in Japan but when I came to the hostel he was streaming outside my hotel I was texting in the live stream to say yo I'm close by and then reply yo let's go and meet up so I was like oh yo I'm gonna meet up with him so we met up and had a dinner and this moment right here was like a catalyst for some good memories I got to celebrate New Year's e with him and another friend of his then this friend lady showed me around Tokyo for a couple of days where I got to learn about Japan and where to eat a good good food so I thought of encapsulating the memory by creating an old Cube TV with a VHA stay telling the date of the memory and inside of the TV that's the scene where we had dinner and now it's time to get to work [Music] thank you and for the vsh tape I had to look up on the Internet how it looks because it's much more complicated than I thought but I think I nailed it pretty good here for the scene inside I had to look up pictures of Japanese restaurant to try to replicate the photo to the best of my abilities with creating the doors the Japanese lanterns tables shares the glass and even the Chopsticks and of course I had to make the characters me and the YouTuber and this was like the hardest thing about this because when I created a mannequin and I tried to like manipulate the character to have it seated I just destroyed the characters that like the head was bulging in and the legs looked weird so I took an L I deleted it and I made a new one much better I also tried to post the characters but I can really move around the characters since I was limited of a mirroring Aid I used in the program so when I tried to make him drink both of the hands wanted a drink he was like ready to drink that beer and for me I just had my hands in the lap to make it look natural I added some plants and some Post-it notes foreign look like wood and make the glass on the tape look like glass it's getting hello dark man and I have three hours left right now so the Clock Was ticking I only had like 48 minutes left to complete this I had to light up the scene before it hit midnight but I actually managed to light the whole scene set up the camera right before the clock ran out and now I just had to render it so right now it it is it's three minutes before the challenge is over and I'm rendering the scene right now so I'm gonna check back in a minute so yesterday when I tried to do the rendering it didn't render so I'm gonna render it right now and here we have it right here zoom zoom zoom zoom zoom oh here it is look at this cozy Japanese scene very nice look at this I want to leave there I'm gonna post this and I'm gonna wait a whole day I think I'm gonna get the party the face with the world let's see what my viewers have voted maybe no one has voted there this will be a complete fail okay what will it be Maybe hey what the hell bro you have to see this you have to see you no this cannot be true my boys they voted on there and mine which is here only got 13 and would you look at that 30 30 and this was the most professional I did it oh no no this was the one I did and this was the professional so they both were good damn like like I don't know I don't know if this is fair so and I can subscribe
