Blenders New Base Meshes Will Save You Hours! 

I've used Blender multiple times and I've always struggled with making a human mesh alone! This'll help me greatly

Really like your comment about speed and being fast at the job. Coming from a creative industry for work I find myself wanting to be fast for personal projects I'm doing for fun and learning. But you're right, there's no need to be fast because there's no deadline.

For any asset that is a Collection, when you drop it on the scene there is the menu on the bottom left for position and such that fo some reason it doesn't pop up when adding to scene, but inside it has a checkbox for instance turned on by default Turning that off will drag the actual collection and all objects inside it as normal objects It also helps you position the whole on 0 0 0 It is also better than making instances real since for meshes with rigs and such it will preserve relations

7:15 "CTRL + A/ Make İnstances Real" is an other option.

This will be a pretty useful addition to the tool chest of the base program, I imagine. At the same time, I can't imagine myself going with anything other than a bespoke character mesh built from the ground up for one's own specific needs, after pooling most of my knowledge on the process from this very channel. It just werks.

It's good for newbies, but I think its still much better to learn to do it on your own from scratch. Good character sculpting and retopo skills will help you ALOT

Another point I'd like to add on the topic of "don't try to be fast, take your time to learn"; A lot of times you just put certain projects on hiatus for a while in order to not get frustrated by trying to brute-force something that you know probably is going to make it worse in the long run. It's better to take a break from it for months or even few years. Learn new techniques working on other projects, helping you discover how to work more efficiently, then get back on it when you have a renewed sense of motivation and/or inspiration so that you can actually manifest the vision for that earlier project in a proper way and maybe even have fun doing it as well!

17:52 But that's my favorite part 🥲

those teeth and gum models gonna come in clutch fr

hello, can help me? why i choose relation > make local > and set to all..that object didnt copy?

Incredible video! I'm defiantly gonna be using the base mesh after seeing this because I have been considering doing my own base mesh after learning all I need to know but it is just so time consuming that I see this as the smarter solution for a faster work flow so thank you so much for this!

Not sure if I'm missing something, but whenever I try to import the mesh by going to "Open Blend File," it just opens the original file with the meshes that can't be edited. How do you import the files so that you can drag and drop the meshes directly like you have in the video? I could just export the original files then import them into the new Blender work space, but that's more of a hassle compared to the dragging and dropping from the asset library.

Great for sculpting, but seems to be missing some loops for animation.

This is amazing. As a solo game developer that prefers designing and developing the mechanics, doing any kind of 3d modeling for characters (objects and equipment are fun) plus anything required for animation is pure cancer. I have been trying to make my own character model, but the head always ruins it, this is going to help a lot. edit: The Object > Relations > Make Local doesn't work for me. I can't make the full body and head meshes editable, every other part is automatically imported and available to edit, does it have anything to do with collections?

I for one would love to see a Substance Tutorial....especially one that deals with: UVunwrapping Character Meshes, especially Hair. I have no idea how to do that and it's been VERY frustrating.

29:03 I found this video for the hair

THANK YOU FOR THE VFX PACK

Trying to do the "make local" command and it's not working, any idea why?

Hi Dikko, very thanks for your work ! We desperately need a hair tutorial, one way that you think is optimal for hair making for the curent version of blender. Thanks again.

Thanks buddy. You've helped a lot.

You are my hero. Thank you.

As someone who is more geared toward animation that topology is a bit hard to look at on the base meshes. I'm internally screaming. But this does seem really useful.

Is there a reason why when i make it local to all it doesnt make a duplicate? Nothing happens

Remember guys its always good to know how to make meshes as well, dont just use this as a shortcut.

Would have been nice to offer some versions that already have proper edges at the joints ready for rigging & animation and basic Ark kit viseme Blend shapes in the heads.

just wondering about the 7 hour recording you did, was it a stream where you talk to us, or just a very long recording?

Hi sir, I am new to blender. I have a question about pushing and pulling the mesh.. Are you using grab tool or any other tool? Could you please make a detail video modelling a character using base mesh.it would be useful. Thanks.

hello..can help me? why i choose relation and set to all.. that object didnt copy?

no reveal!?!? Awesome tips in there, I had no idea that transpose tool existed

Question: Since the base messes are in a close A pose do you have any trick for the rigging/weight painting? Cause when i tried to weight my rig automatically (auto rig pro) the arm is moving a big part of the back as well. I would like to avoid re posing the model to a T pose. If you know any tricks or something else please let me know!

Well, why ever i can bring the models into the library but i cant get them to work. How do i get them into the sculptingmode?

Very nice video! Good to see how to use some freely available assets to achieve the desired result! Do you know of any update on these meshes or a tutorial on how to best improve the edge flow for rigging purposes of these meshes?

Is it possible to make the bones first and then edit the shape of the bodies?

not creating dublicate for me....what is the error?

12:36 how do you do that and what is that called?

Love the real, I am game studios an i said let me learn make my own character saying oh i can just buy high poly sculpt base meshes an WHOOP there it is but you still need to learn basics of blender an tools then it can feel like okay i can do what they charge 1000 a model for because i see they sell marmoset eyes realistic skin etc etc to help you build fast an easy but still learn the basics then have fun with

could this kind of character as it is now been used as a game character

LETS GOO NEW DIKKO VID RAAAAA

this actually real helpful. Question for anyone who tried this with the style base mesh. How well were you able to change it into something close to a anime style design or was that to hard? Asking because I thinking of getting another base mesh to work with if the current one from this video can't translate the style well

I'll admit I don't know shit from shinola about sculpting in blender, but I'll watch and take notes anyway. Ok, model fast, not half assed, got it

top job buddy new meshs

Cool! Thanks!

whenever i drag an image from the bundle all i get is a reference image. also how did you open the file in blender and can anyone tell me how to get it so i can actually use them thanks

are these useful for reference and learning? I don't know much about blender, but I want to learn and practice.

super nice!

i understood all the things but i got confused about the hair... is this hair low poly like the characters of ur black curtain series and can i rig them easily ?

I have a problem the relation is not duplicating the body mesh any suggestions

how to get this video from start until the end .. i need to learn this, how to join your patreon ? no link on the description ..

why cant I edit, or sculpt my base meshes? they are only object mode

Very cool

blender won't let me add the 3d model

Dikko lala!! Dikko Lala. Nwa-mama

Recently I have switched form maya to blender for character animation. Can anyone tell me how to select multiple controllers and rotate all of them together while setting up a pose.. for example select all the spine controls and rotate together OR all the finger controllers and rotate together. I tried that in blender but its rotating only the last selected control.. Eagerly waiting for a response. Thanks.

Nice!

i downloaded the file, but I can't edit it. I go to object, relations, make local, all: and it doesnt work =((

what are the conditions? Can I sell the modeling afterward?

is this friendly for 3d printing models?

Show us how to make to make motion comics with blender, Dikko!

thank you guy ! I'm a game developer and i want to create my own characters from my imaginations. i'm very very new with blender. can you please give me some advise ? i will appreciate it !

Hi, Can you make a game ready character tutorial here in your channel?

IT'S TOO EASY!

When it comes to hair i don't want a super realistic hair for what it is a celshaded character and i want a tutorial about simple/basic hair

lol, skipped the hardest part, rigging.

relations local user ... does not work

Ugly but the skillis here 😂🎉

I hate the use of this word when referring to art related stuff but wouldn't this be considered cheating? I'm happy with the release of these bases, I always had trouble making the face of my character in 3D so this helped a lot, but I can't stop thinking that what i accomplished is 'not my work', even if i changed and added a lot of stuff from the original base. So now i'm not sure if I should use this model or try to finish the one I was making from scratch.

it annoys me that this low effort content wins

Thank you awesome legendary man

Hey mind if I dm you on discord? I need some blender help on something specific.
