blender is a really intimidating program for beginners so i’d like to share some resources to help people get started 🧵

here’s a great starting point to help you make sense of the blender interface. you can move onto part 2 if you’re interested in making a simple scene too.

grant has lots of beginner-friendly blender tutorials so if you just want to stick with this channel, you’re in good hands.

if you’re interested in modelling low poly characters, this is a good place to start. the tutorial isn’t too long and does a good job going over the process.

this low poly character series is a little longer but goes over the process more in depth and will introduce you to rigging.

a quick tutorial for the blender pixelation trick. whether you started making characters or just stuck with grant’s low poly tutorials, now you can give everything that sweet sweet CRUNCH.

if you’re interested in making ps1 style stuff, this is your guy. a lot of these tutorials are from a few years back and use an older version of blender but all still applicable.

not a tutorial but a great resource for downloading character models from old video games to study topology and how they were textured. one of my favourite tools for references.

if low poly isn’t your thing and you just want to make cute characters, the froggy tutorial is a good place to start.
