How to hide objects in the Blender outliner to make modeling easier

How to change the shadow color of ambient occlusion using a Blender node and multiply it by the texture color.

How to open a face UV in Blender with a straight frontal view and put the drawing on the face as it is on the texture.

Blender's UV expansion is weird if you don't apply the object's scale value -> scale to 1 before you do it!

How to add a Rim light-like effect to a material using Fresnel in the Blender node to make hair shiny.

When making a character's hair, it is difficult to create the hair if the facial outline, eyes, nose, and mouth are not defined.

Modeling hair, both long and short, is hard! The type of difficulty is a little different.

Unless there is a special reason, it is safe to make character models in realistic scale.

The more polygons you have, the harder it is to model polygons, and the easier it is to organize the polygons you don't need.

When making a difficult model, keep a copy of the finished model so you can proceed without fear of failure.

Reason of don't use a halved sphere object as the base of the hair model when modeling hair.

When creating polygons for the back side of the skirt, the vertices are slightly shifted so that they are not in the same location as the front side.

The wrists are positioned at the crotch and the elbows are positioned at the waist, as is usually the case with the human body and character models.

3D models of characters range from those for smartphone games to those for the pre-rendered video! Mixing them up can be confusing.

When you're modeling, it's easier if you divide the polygons while thinking about what to do with the texture at the end.

I want to make it easy and beautiful - but I don't need to know all the useful functions of 3DCG software.

When creating a model of a character from an existing illustration, it is common for the character's face and hairstyle to differ from picture to picture.

It's impossible to make a 2D illustration and a 3D model match perfectly, and in the case of 3D, they must look good from all angles.

If you're modeling with a mouse and feel like you're going to get tendonitis in your hands... try modeling with a pen tab.

How to make the vertices of the soles of the character model stick to the ground in Blender~.

Apply to object created by Blender's link duplicate will cause an error, so let's unlink before we do it!

The 3D model, both for the character and the hair, is created with the four elements of proportion, volume, silhouette, and detail, which is the Toha style.

Learning how to use software is one thing, learning how to make 3DCG is another, and to make what you want to make, you need both... it's hard!

If you want to apply the same material to multiple objects at once in Blender, use Ctrl+L to create a link -> Material!

Blender Alt+D is a link duplicator (like instance copy), and all duplicated objects can be edited together.

When creating a 3D model for work, it is safe to check with the client about anything that cannot be determined from the information in the reference materials alone.

The theory that models that look good in the hard edge (flat) state look good when changed to the soft edge (smooth) state.

When modeling characters in Blender, it is recommended to set the focal length at about 150mm.

When the mirror modifier mirrors to a strange position, reset the object origin position to zero.

It's not a matter of getting a nice topology right the first time, as long as you end up with a topology that makes sense.
