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

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

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.

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

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

Character models for games often create tousled hair. Extrusion method hair modeling is recommended for tousled hair

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.

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

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

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

The polygon's backside will be transparent! I want to fill in with front-facing polygons so that there are no strange gaps between objects.

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

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.

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

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

The way to get the texture colors to come out as they are in Blender's rendering settings is to change the color management from Filmic to Standard!

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.

When hand-drawing textures, use the UV image output from the UV placement export as a guide for drawing the texture.

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

How to change the affected area in the operator panel after moving it using Blender's proportional editing.

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

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.

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.

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