"Hey Lois, this is just like the time Blender Guru recreated our house."

The fact that andrew owns up to instances where he knows something is beyond him is something people really should learn

The characters are nightmare fuel but the living room is a dream! Incredible job!

Downloading other peoples models is a good way to learn how to fix bad geometry. I cant say how many times I thought I was going to save time only to spend hours fixing someone else's mess.

Amazing how much content you can "cram" in just seven minutes! Great work!

1:07 Oh noooooo, he got trapped in there!😭😭😭

I think the night one is better. The day one sort of looks like it's underground or something, because of the lack of different light sources. It just feels too dark. I think there should be more spilled light from outside on the stairs, inside the opened door etc. as if there is multiple windows in the house instead of just few in the actual modeled room

Every time I watch a video on this channel, I feel inspired to learn more about Blender. I love working with Blender and creating 3D models, but sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the amount of information out there. It's like I'm facing a huge mountain, and every time I try to climb it, the mountain gets bigger and bigger, and the top seems farther and farther away. I start to question whether or not I really want to learn Blender. Then I come across a video on this channel, and it reignites my passion for learning.

Damn! Although Family Guy is not my cup of tea, your realistic creation of it most definitely is. Outstanding job Andrew... Perfectly magnificent!

Blender Guru is one of the best when it comes to tuts. Explains well and isn't afraid to reveal he's always learning -- just like me!

This is cool. I remember the first tutorials you started making about 2 decades ago. You have definitely improved a lot and you definitely have quite the success story :)

1:06 I like how he just trapped the random figure inside the stairs

your ways in talking and organizing the information is soooo nice and encourage us to figure out more info, I am watching your videos from 2018 till now and truly no one on the RU-vid has the same power of inspiration you have that made people fall in love with blender, thanks Andrew and keep posting

Hey andrew, i'm from sudamerica but i love to watch your videos i have 13 y/o and you helped me so much thank you. :)

That is so good! Both the room and the characters!

One important thing to note is that after you place the camera inside the cube, go to edit mode and select all the faces and hit shift + n to flip the normals.

Simply beautiful. This man inspired me to switch from graphic design to 3D modeling and animation and I can say I'm glad I discovered him two years ago.

Cheers Andrew! Happy you still making tut and fun to learn a few things after all these years.👌

that was honestly so entertaining watching how you went about creating this. The one thing I noticed with the character creator models is the uncanny valley feeling imo kind of came from how they appeared to look more like wax figures from something like Mdme Toussauds. Perhpas no subsurf scattering on the skin? Can't really tell though. Amazing scene in any case, lots of super handy tips and tricks for modelling too.

Lois looks awesome, and Chris looks like an overweight chad. Good job! haha

The Blender legend is back at it! Your videos are amazing!

That is so cool, that you turned the Family Guy living room into a realistic one! I like the night one slightly better! Awesome job and great instructions on how you did it! 🧡

I had some good luck creating those foam cushions by modeling the internal foam shape and then just using cloth shrinking factor to essentially shrinkwrap that with the actual cushion mesh. You can (and probably should) add extra tension creases with sculpting or normal maps though, so it's not a totally one-and-done technique.

We need to talk 🤨

Dude's a beast. I think a lot of professors could learn from his conciseness. He packs so much useful, easy-to-understand information into the video.

Thankyou gamoco bhai

if you made this into a series, I would tune in every time

To solve the issue of your uncanny valley situation with the character, you actually do have to model them in a cartoonish way to match the cartoon, like you have with everything else. It needs consistency, but then you can use realistic textures on the character to match your environment. With the realistic lighting, but obviously basic looking scene and character, it will come together nicely as all the textures are consistent too. They're realistic but quite plain. So your character needs to match this

man that shear tip is great! I have been using blender for years and I still learn new tidbits every time I watch a video like this!

So much respect for trying something out, knowing its a dud, then retracting it while acknwoladging somethings just don't work. Thats the reality of being an artist! Great work, much love Andrew!!

any plans on making another fixing your renders vid? loved that vid a lot

If you guys wondering why the character looks weird in the couch it's because its very hard to pose a character. There is a wonderful program cal Cascadeur it makes animation very easy using ai.

How many of you watch these while knowing full well you'll probably never even install Blender? 🙋‍♂️

Your videos are like therapy for me. You're so calm and collected, and I'm a C4d user 🤣. Great stuff as usual.

So much fun watching you work on a project. Also seems so easy...

LMAO!! How you made Meg look had me dying! Great work as always!

This has a huge work behind, wow

I’m absolutely impressed by your mastery of this program.

👌Hindi voiceover was great, it's great for people like me, who doesn't know English very much

You make this look so easy.

This is a lot of fun, inspires me to try to recreate a living room from a different show like Spongebob or Rick and Morty or something. I wish you could post more often, you always have awesome content, but I also understand you've already shared a wealth of information and are also busy with Polygon and other things. If you need video ideas, I'd love to see a series talking about the processes you guys use at polygon for your assets. They're all super nice quality and I'm always impressed. Obviously you don't have to give away all your secrets, but I just wonder what your process is for capturing or generating high quality textures, getting clean photoscans, capturing your own surface imperfections, and maybe even how you guys make HDRIs. I know you've made a couple videos about some of these things in the past, but it'd be cool to see the workflows now that you've had a few years with your own asset company, perfecting that process.

The room looks so cozy

This inspired me to try blender

awesome! its amazing how instantly beautiful the scene was when using all that high quality ray traced(?) lighting!

A short time into the video and i am already impressed with the techniques .

the lightings was so satisfying

This is surprisingly one of the best blender tutorials I’ve seen on the internet.

Amazing hindi voice over brother

your channel is the most fascinating thing I have ever seen I am literally in tears

No one can beat your explaining way, such a good teacher

I think the sofa cushions still do work because they are photoscanned out of position and so they look like intersecting individual cushions rather than multiple cushions squished together. Maybe it would be better if you photoscanned it in place.

Always throwing some lowkey gems🔥

I'm new at using Blender and I love your tutorials. Also, I'm glad that my laptop can render faster.

Although i don't use blender, I enjoy watching your videos a lot. Always learn something, thank you

Bruh this is a lot of effort and you did a great job! 👍

This was very helpful, thanks!

Cant say i didnt enjoy that , that was awesome !!

Glad to see you making more videos again

Salute to your hardwork brother ✨

Stuff like this makes me way more interested in blender than I already am

Wow, this is like stepping into the Griffin household! The attention to detail is uncanny - from the quirky expressions to the spot-on voices. Truly impressive work!

Hey Andrew! I’ve been following you and using your tutorials for over a decade and it’s so cool to see you still doing your tutorials. After all these years what has been your most fun project?

This is incredible work! Thanks for making my day 😊

The background sound gives a perfect experience to me.

I like the music in background and your pleasant voice. thx for the video 🤍

And I'm still at learning the UI. Amazing video!

🎉🎉🎉Nice work pankaj bhai ❤❤❤ keep it up full support from UP

Wake up babe, new Blender Guru shitpost just dropped

I like the characters, actually! And the room/tutorial were great!

Can't wait to see more of this family guy battle royal project you are working on!

Thank You For The Tutorials You Are Inspiring ✨✨

This is so fascinating. I'm glad YT's algorithm did its thing and I found your video 😁

As someone who appreciates, but knows very little about this type of thing, this was incredible to watch, your skill is insane!

Holy actual damn- This is so incredibly impressive-

Great Video!

Common Andrew!! Where are those 10 parts modelling tutorial series? We want more of them!!!

Will build this after learning blender 😊

Thank you for making this video

If your 3D Family Guy characters look weird, you Probably did it right

looks so cool Andrew, i learned some methods from this video that I was doing in a hard way. thank you so much GURU🙏

This is so cool ! it has that look of the scene art in "the adventures of gumball" where its cartoony-ish but pretty photo realistic at the same time !

The tip with the bool tool is awesome!

thank you for making me more confident in model :)

Such a nicely made tutorial/video

Love the Toonstruck like Background music :D

Character Creator looks so cool! I wish I could afford to buy it somehow so that I can use it to create 3D models.

this is actually very informative Andrew.

omg its the first time i saw somebody who didnt delete the starter cube when they started

this was so entertaining and informative omg

Thanks! And I am so glad you can slow video down in RU-vid..

amazing as usual

Dude, you're a genius with that couch sculpting

good to see you blender guru after along time

that boolean trick is amazing!

Even though I miss the Andrew Price podcast, it is still a win-win to have you back here sensei. GG

this man has so much patience. respect bro.

A lot of value from this video

Note the shear tool is in the tool bar on the left, so you don't have to memorize anything if you use it once a month.
