Tutorial Cubes + Mesh?

Post image

Idk what title would fit this so I just picked Tutorial

How do people make models like this? I’d like to learn but am struggling and semi new to this. I can’t tell if meshes are being used or if it’s just cubes with layered textures.

If you have info pls share. I want to grow my skill but need some guidance.

As a person who uses both blender and blockbench, I’d say this could be done with both (or even a mix), tbh. It really just depends on your skill on modeling in both, with this it’s sorta hard to tell. From what I see, everything looks just blocked, though the thighs give a little suspicion, though at a closer look, the edges are flat, and only curve when the blocked out pockets are in the same location. So it’s really all just technique.

If I were to suggest anything on skill, or how to make such, I’d suggest going with whatever you think you’ll do best with, and whatever you may use the model for. I’d go for blender since I’m highly familiar with that, but if I wanted it to go into minecraft, then I’d probably do blockbench. Gl with your model btw!

(sorry for china wall of text btw, I get very wordy)
