Tutorial: Blender MODELLING For Absolute Beginners - Simple Human 

I accidentally figured something out, holding ctrl snaps stuff into place and its incredibly useful for precise stuff. Just a nice tip I'll leave here for beginners

For anyone else getting confused when the mirrored object doesn't show up: make sure you're in edit mode before you move it!

After 6 1/2 hours of working on the model, and having to replay it back and forth because I'm slow at learning, I have finally completed my first human model. Thanks for the tutorial Pixxo. Also you taught us how to make PS1 models, so extra points for you.

I am 34 years old, i never thought i can sit in a room and understand, with 98% precision, how to do this. Thank you Pix, you are a Genius!!!

10:08 modifiers 12:10 wireframe 17:04 cuts 19:08 Hand extrude

Perhaps the biggest piece of advice I got from this video was to use orthographic views more. My model still turned out like a potato, lol, but it was less of a potato than the last. Progress. Good video, thanks.

Thanks to this dude I finally learned how to use blender. My eyes have been open to new horizon.

this was honestly the perfect thing I needed, you didn't waste our time with tangents or plugs, you didn't "now do this" and then cut to it done, you explained everything very well, It was just what I needed for my first time, I was even able to modify my person afterwards because of how good you explained everything, thank you!

First tutorial I actually followed through. My model didn't come out as good, but a great learning experience overall

One of the crispest, most concise and worthwhile videos on Blender. An awful lot has been packed into just 35 minutes to provide a foundational experience in Blender. Just hope that PIXXO 3D keeps coming with more of the same for lighting, camera and animation [if not already there]. Great job - thanks.

Far more useful than making a donut.

I love how this tutorial is simple and complete enough for everyone to understand ans yet doesn't makes us feel like someone explaining things to a child

As a beginner, I was actually able to follow this tutorial, and my first model was ok. Thanks for sharing!

I've been thinking about 3d modeling for nearly my whole life. But never get pass the primitive meshes. But your tutorial is so beginner friendly and we end up with an model that looked not bad. A character, not a chair. That's amazing.

I've been trying to learn blender for ages and this is the only tutorial that has gone been interesting enough to watch more than 5 minutes. Thanks

Man, you are a teacher. I see many tutorials there just for vanity "how cool i can handle with this with my special bought plug ins". But you show all the steps!!!! Thank you!!

This tutorial was simply amazing! I've honestly been watching multiple 'beginners' tutorial before even trying blender. But yours is the least daunting and scary, never would've thought that my first ever creation would turn out to be this great! This was such a great start to learn blender, thank you for the tutorial!

Best tutorial for someone who never touched blender so far.

Mate this was one of the best blender tutorials I've come across, thank you SO much, this was insanely helpful and exactly what I was looking/hoping for

I am very exited to say that this worked perfectly and it only took me 1-2 hours to complete! I am happy to see you teach the person watching while they build said dummy along the way!

I'm soooo glad to find this cause most character modeling tutorials expect you to already know how to use blender and beginners tutorials want you to model stuff like three stump. And though I get why they want you to start simple, there's lot of people like me who just won't do it if it's not something that interests them. I've been pushing back learning blender for almost a year cause I just can't be bothered to model something I have no interest in.

I've been messing around with different modeling techniques from different tutorials, this is by far the best and my first attempt came out so well that I've been able to generate base female and male models for my game that I can use for the various player and NPC actor models. I'm a game designer that wants a specific look I can't find out there, people seem to really struggle with faces in particular, which is understandably difficult. They're either too cartoonish or super-realistic but with malformed features. I'm coming over to the dark side and learning to do all my own models and textures so I can get that blend between cartoon and realism. This was a huge help. I was an anatomy student some time in my past, so it's all just a matter of learning on this new medium. Thank you!

At 16:10 after selecting the face of the object click on the 'Move' button on the left side of the screen OR press G which is easier, and that is how to drag the legs, you're welcome to anyone who needed to know

Thanks for the tutorial! It helped a lot. There’s not many people who are willing to sit and really explain in depth how to create models. And for someone like me who’s just starting, this is exactly what I needed! Keep up the good work, man!

This actually helped me so much! I feel like i could get blender to be a good friend of mine. I really want to do some simple animations and i am very much willing to put a lot of time and effort into it. Thank you for being the first step of my journey. ^^

LoVVVEEE!! I've no idea how to use Blender and it all make sense after watching your tutorial! Thank you!!!

underrated tutorial, honestly created the exact thing he showed by following the steps and I feel confident that what I learned will stick into my brain, thanks for going slow and explaining what everything does

This is brilliant, fantastic tutorial for box modeling, exactly what I needed.

this actually really helped me with something i've been working on. I didn't really follow the whole tutorial but i used what i had learned to make a pretty good looking table for a vr chat world i've been making. thanks so much :)

I recently learned all about 2D Character design with the intent to finalize my art in 3D sculpting using Blender. This was the first tutorial that I actually tried to apply everything I've learned on characters. And WOW I went a bit wild here on creativity but the result is absolutely amazing thanks to how simple and straightforward this tutorial was. Great success!

If you get stuck when trying to rotate remember: mesh - clean up - merge by distance. This is caused by hitting escape after extruding without hitting ctrl+Z to undo. Escape makes extra vertices for whatever reason.

That right there was a quality video. I went from 1 hour to make a simple pyramid to less than 30 minutes. Good stuff.

I knew nothing about Blender and needed to create a figure. Thank you so much for this great introduction.

This is the best Blender beginners tutorial I've found, and I've been looking. It was explained well for someone who's never done more than make a very ugly ball of bumpy digital clay. I only watched it this time around but I learned so much terminology and so many basic hotkeys for this stuff. First thing tomorrow morning, I'm throwing this on again and following along. Fantastic video! Thank you!

I like how you absolutly care about us and how you make everything so we understand.

absolutely loved this guide, starting out has been a bit overwhelming with the amount of content ant tutorials there can be but this one truly stood out and was the most helpful. thank you so much, keep it up !!!

22:49 That feeling when a low poly model has better dance moves than you.

Low-key hypnotic to watch, this has helped me so much already, I can’t wait to put what I’ve learned into practice! Thankyou for the video!

This is one of the best tutorials I've seen, all domains included not only 3D, thank you !

Does he even realize how great this tutorial is? I had no idea what to do and after 30 minutes I can finally do my own projects.. Huge thanks to this guy

I've wanted to learn 3d modeling for ages, and this video had made figuring out blender incredibly easy. Huge thanks man, you've done the world a great service

I checked a lot of tutorials and this is the first one I was able to follow without losing my focus or getting frustrated. Thank you!

easily the most helpful tutorial i've watched yet! teaches stuff as you go, which is so nice compared to throwing everything in your face then expecting us to remember it. im looking at my render like wow!! I just made this, the first thing i've ever made and it looks so good! awesome video : )

I learnt more about how to use Blender from this video than from all the other tutorials I've seen combined. Great work.

This is by far one of the best tutorials for blender on RU-vid. Most videos go too fast or they do something without explaining it. Also I liked how you said what shortcuts you used even though we could see what keys you’re pressing. It saved a lot of time for me because I could follow along while you’re talking. Liked and subscribed

8:58 is pretty much where the tut starts btw

This was such an incredible tutorial. Such an accessibly way to get into modeling, the low poly format had me encouraged to continue modeling additional details afterwards. You explained it all so well and concisely!

This is by far the most useful introduction to Blender i've found so far. Nice pacing, great that you repeat and speak out loud what shortcuts you use. So many others just roll on out there at 200 kilometers an hour, expecting people who have never used Blender, to catch on to the fact that you used a 40 key combo to do some crazy stuff.

Thank you for this tutorial. I wanted to learn how to use Blender for a long time. I have made my first proto-human in Blender thanks to you!

Solid tutorial, kind of hard to follow more advanced ones from other creators when they don't have the time to tell us how they do every little thing. (selecting faces, increasing/decreasing scale, etc)

Thank you for this tutorial! It was basic, and as a beginner to blender myself, this was really helpful and understandable unlike most tutorial, who use multiple different fields, modifiers, (etc) without even telling us what they do!

Thank you so much for the basics! Been hunting for just this kinda video that is also easy to follow! Learned a lot!

It's really helped me a lot. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial

First time ever using blender, very well done guide for getting through a first time users project.

Great tutorial Pixxo 3D. I'm hoping to try this soon! Thanks.

One of the best Blender tutorial I've watched. Mostly nicely done. The exception is the ad rectangle blocking the view of what occurs in the bottom right corner of the creation plane.

Thank you so much! I’ve been using Rhino for a year at university so I know a little bit about 3D modelling, but since I can’t afford Rhino , I’ve been looking into stuff like Blender. This helped so much in getting started!

Thank you so much! This is a fantastically concise and exacting tutorial that delivers a lot of skill points in a very short space - I actually made my first successful 3d character model with this. Brilliant!

this video was so helpful for me not only learning how to model humanoid shapes but also feeling comfortable in the program movie around and experimenting afterwards :)

Just started learning Blender for fun. but I am not totally newbie, I used to use 3dsMAX when I was young. Found this video actually very nice, does not talk too much or trying to be funny like many others. Just going through the main points. Good job mate.

wow, I learnt a TON! Thank you. I think this would be a perfect tutorial for beginners as it touches a lot of the basics tools... With this and a little initiative to experiment, you can basically propel yourself forward into other potential project ideas. Lovely!

This tutorial is so, so good! A one shot to help people realize that blender isn't all that hard, it just takes practice and understanding the tools at your disposal. Just off of this I've gained so much more confidence and a better sense of direction within the software and I'm excited to learn and progress. Thank you for helping so many people!

Thank you so much!!! this video really helped me make a character model for the first time and now i feel ready to start making character models

Glad this video has been helpful to so many. Here is an absolute beginners course for making character: skl.sh/306yzxa

You suddenly opened a whole world for me. Character, spanes, spaceships... mind is blowing out now...

This actually helped me A LOT surprisingly, considering the many tutorials I've skimmed through, this one takes the cake in my book

Perfect tutorial for someone that is starting to learn how to model a character, thank you.

Thanks for this very well explained tutorial, it was definitely worth watching it! Thumbs up!

Great video!!! Thanks for sharing with that detail and patience...

I just downloaded Blender a week ago, and i can say for sure this tutorial it's amazing. You explained the basics really really well. Great job and thanks !!!! :) you won a follower !

This is a fantastic tutorial thank you so much for making this, this has taught me so much!

And the legend strikes again!

Thank you for a great introduction to this program.

This is hands down the best tutorial video ive ever watched of any topic. Thank you my guy.

I just started using Blender today and I absolutely looooove Proportional editing. I may find few more amazing features in the future but for now, the Proportional editing is what made me stay longer. For me, the video was so clear and easy to follow. I had so much fun following each step.

Its 3.04 am. Just finished watching. Your efforts are quite appreciable. Subscribed. And waiting for one more model to learn. Tq

Such a easy tutorial, thank you so much! This helped A LOT! Easy for beginners, and people who JUST started blender! Thanks for your help man.

Excellent! Really gives me something to start from. Thanks.

this is definitely the best blender tutorial ive watched, ive tried and given up blender so many times but watching this video is the first time ive actually made some progress. very easy to follow and much less frustrating compared to some others ive seen. thank you for the great video!

23:10 I keep getting tripped up here. When I hit the face and shrink it, it ends up creating a middle face, not a face that takes up the middle and left portions. When I try to proceed with the extra faces there, it just leads to a malformed mess.

Honestly, thank you so much for this tutorial, I had no idea where to even mildly begin with using blender, but this helps so much with getting the basics down!

Learned a lot PIXXO! Thank you!!

This is my first creation other than a table!! Lol thank you!!

I've had this video open for a while now while working on my own project, just in case I need a recap. Having just started using blender again after many years, this video is so simple to follow along with and concise that I had to say thank you. Since I am only working with blender as a hobby and got a burst of motivation to get back into making my first video game, your video is the perfect starting point. Seeing progress being made so quickly is motivating and keeps the spark going. Much appreciated.

Great tutorial! My first time at blender at and I managed to follow it and make a decent model

Absolute gem of a tutorial

I couldn't make heads or tails of this program for OVER 20 YEARS and you have helped me understand so much in ONE LESSON! Thanks!

MY OH MY SO SO THANKFUL FOR THIS VIDEO EVERY SINGLE ONE I WATCH IS SO COMPLICATED BUT THIS IS VERY HELPFUL THANK YOU SO SO MUCH😁

this. this is the most useful blender tutorial for a begginer. shows a lot of shortcuts. other people always use shortcuts without telling what they are doing, and it is very confusing for a begginer, thank you for this.

Thank you so Much. Easiest Tutorial for Blender I could come across

Thank you so much, this is so helpful :D I want to create my own characters in 3D, started with simple objects, and now trying to make a human. :)

at 22 minutes after spending 2 hours and my character isnt as good but ive learned alot going to re watch and re create till my characters are decent looking and not so fat lol! thank you bro very good tutorial 10/10

I loved your way of explanation , Thanks a lot.

words can’t describe how thankful i am for this!! you’re such a life saver!!

I have done plenty of hard surface modeling for props and 3D printing in Blender but never any character stuff. This is such a great tutorial, and it's awesome to jog the memory if you haven't been doing anything in blender for a few months. Good stuff.

I made it 12 minutes in before I gave up. I love these speed build tutorials!

Thank you so much wanted to get into blender and this was a perfect video man much appreciated

This is an amazing video to learn from. It helped me so much. Tysm

Very clear and concise tutorial! I was able to follow along with every step, get a decent looking result and an understanding of what I actually did to get to that point, thank you!

This might actually be the best tutorial ive seen since you actually explain everything youre touching and clicking. On other videos it takes about 10 seconds for an unspoken hotkey to be used and then youre lost
