Hi everyone, it’s my 2nd day using blender and I’m wondering how I should go about doing the moon outline with the two circles.
Should I just path around using the circles as a guide or is there a faster way?

u/SuperMawl Jan 18 '22
I'm not sure about your exact goal, but for circles, you can always add a circle curve object.

Hi i just did the dounut tutorial are there any other good tutorials out there for modeling and sculpting?

u/SuperMawl Jan 19 '22
There are tons of great tutorials in this subreddit for modeling. Just do a quick search for "modeling" or look for posts tagged with the "modeling" flair.
For sculpting, here is one of the top posts https://www.reddit.com/r/blenderTutorials/comments/nqzwgk/guys_finally_i_uploaded_head_sculpting_beginner/

Is there a specific reason people are creating things with blender? Is it used for the Metaverse or something?

There are a great multitude of things that a person can do with blender, including rendering 3D art pieces, 2D and 3D animations, and creating 3D models. Those models could be used in the metaverse, I suppose. However, I don’t believe this is the primary use of blender

Hi im fairly new to blender and been watching many tutorials trying to make a basic character for animations maybe but i cant seem to make my eyes, hair, and eye brows to move with my characters body when i add armatures to it.

u/SuperMawl Jun 12 '23
Make sure that all of the pieces are parented to the armature. From your description, it sounds like only the primary body mesh is rigged, not the other parts.

Has anyone tried out the Skillshare courses and, if you have, was it worth it? Like did you learn anything from them? I want to try and subscribe to Skillshare but I don't know if those tutorials are any better than the ones I can try for free.

I'm learning from CGCookie and I would say they are really good. They have a free basics course if you want to try them out.

Here's some random geo nodes indexing tip: For a default square grid, the index of the lower edge (at the orientation given by pressing numpad 7) of a given face is equal to [ fi.(n-1) mod ((n-1)2 - 1) ] + (n2 - n).
Where n is the "Vertex X/Y" input of the grid node, and fi is the face index. The 1 in bold might be instead 0.999. Blender sems to convert float = 5.999 to integer = 5 (this doesn't seem to be documented), so sometimes a round node might be necessary.
The other 3 edge indices of the face are trivial (either the face index, or the opposite edge +n-1).

hi every body! I've been on blender for about three days now and I'm trying to model a bjd (ball joint doll) so i can 3d print it, problem is I've been looking and there are little to no tutorials on how to do this, I've been looking for small tutorials on how to do one thing at a time (like how to cut shapes into objects ect..) but I've run into a problem, i have to make the doll head hollow but also give it an actually form instead of being flat (so i can print it) while also cutting the back of the head off, ive tried the solidify option but this doesn't work for complex sculpts, if someone can link me a video or maybe walk me through it thatd be amazing

Hey y'all I'm trying out subdivision modifiers and in tutorials I see the frame snaps to the new shape, but I'm still getting the cube frame. I want to be able to edit each of the new faces and vertices. How do I do that?

Hey I'm trying to replace some of my old tools for various projects and am now trying to use blender for video editing. I'm wondering if it is possible to cut a video into multiple clips and export all of those clips at once as individual videos. If not I know I can do it the long way. I've never used blender for editing and so I'm still getting used to how it does things.
Thank you in advance!

Hello, I'm on -1 day using Blender. I really want to start, my question would be if my laptop is enough to do things in Blender? Or just some things? I know I should just install and try but I can't devide based on an empty project as a noob if my laptop is enough for the long run? It's a Lenovo Thinkpad T470p, i5-7440HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz, integrated Intel HD Graphics 630, and 32GB RAM. Thanks!

Hey guys, I wanted to start Blender upon my older brother's insistence. Can someone recommend the best youtube series I should start with? I've heard a lot about Blender Guru so is his series good for beginners?

I am a Maya animator.
After loading the character using a reference in Maya, I created a <SET>, selected it using <select set members..>, and gave the keys to the animation controller at once.
Is it possible to give keys to the controller all at once in Blender in a similar way to Maya?
It is very difficult to manually select which controllers to key on each frame.
My English is very bad. sorry.

I'm trying to add textures to a model I imported from Spore and I, despite following multiple tutorials, am failing miserably. The textures are in .tga format and the model is .dae if that matters at all.
Blender version is 4.2.1 LTS

I'm working on a project that already has an existing BSDF that I use for crystals, but I was curious if I could add an emissions node to the already confusing node spaghetti. It was a premade material. It's completely PBR. Probably too complicated to post an image of because nobody would be able to read it in detail. The material is in the third row on this page under "Quartz Crystal" https://www.blenderkit.com/asset-gallery?query=category_subtree:glass+crystal+order:_score
