Tutorial: Joan of Arc

Posted on by

rendu10j_i_th.jpgOne of the most famous modeling tutorials on the net is ‘Joan of Arc’. Almost 80 pages long, it covers everything from modeling the body and accessories to texturing and rigging the model.

Although it is written for 3DS Max, you can use almost everything directly in Blender (especially the texturing and rigging sections are more specific to 3DS Max). All the required image templates are provided

There are two versions available:

      I know this tutorial for a long time. In my opinion this tutorial is the best box modeling, low poly character tutorial.

      I was modelled my fisrt girl with this tutorial, when blender hasn’t loop modelling tools… now is very easy.

    • marcos

      Im totally new to 3D modeling, I-ve downloaded Blender 2 months ago, and making a “library” of tutorials, samples, etc downloaded from the web. The point is, Im too rookie to know the equivalent between 3DMax and Blender, so, what about making a 100% Blender version of this tutorial…!!!

    • etr9j

      This was a standard during my Max days. I’m glad it’s being reintroduced to Blender users!

      @marcos: I agree: a 100% Blender version of this tutorial would be awesome!

    • Kayde

      Yeah, while these tutorials for 3D Max are still very useful, if someone skilled enough rewrote the tutorial in great detail for blender, it would be invaluable.

    • Robin

      I’ve thought about that too, Marcos. But I realised that I wasn’t experienced enough.

      Akator has a blend file of the completed model available for download at the Blender 3D model repository (http://www.katorlegaz.com/index.php?a=download&c=Blender_3D_Model_Repository). Look under “Characters” for the file named “c0rkn0t_broun6_female.zip”.

    • Poot

    • Marcos

      Hola Sangio… has pensado en traducirlo y “pasarlo” a Blender…… este es justo el tipo de manuel que he estado buscando….!

    • marcos

      :-(

    • Kalyan

      I wanna tutorial on facial modeling and body modeling

    • Steve

      nice, but I’m having a hard time replicating the Chamfer function on the glove section. Any one found a way round this as Blender doesn’t have a chamfer function. (apart from messing around with V and P)!

      Might wanna update your links. The English page has now been moved to:
      http://www.3dtotal.com/tutorials/max/joanofarc/joanmenu.asp

      The original URL returns an error. :/

    • jason

      Both links provided don’t work. After some searching I think I found the English version:
      http://www.3dtotal.com/pages/tutorials/max/joanofarc/joanmenu.php

      Also this tutorial seems nice: http://www.3dtotal.com/team/Tutorials_3/Box_modeling_video_tutorial/Box_modeling01.php
      but I didn’t have the time to check it out!

    • http://www.blendernation.com Bart

      I’ve updated both links – thanks for the heads-up!

      And while I was at it, I also added the Spanish link mentioned above.
