Hi Blender Nation! It’s Paul Caggegi here, again, with another tutorial on poly-modeling a human figure.

This is the 3rd in a series I am working on, taking a character from initial concept to completed render, but the first in this process which deals specifically with blender. Many have written to me to make a more comprehensive tutorial, so I’ve endeavored to do so here. I’ve also made this available via a link om the blog in various sizes, one of which is HD, for better quality viewing.

More tutorials shall be following on a regular, monthly release.

Cheers, folks!

      good news:)

      I really enjoy every episode of the process diary, the audiocasts with the artist and feedback episodes are great fun too.
      Anyhow worth checking out for everyone that wants to learn about character modelling and use of blender in general since it often has nifty hints on how to go about stuff.
      Thumbs up and best regards!

      as if it was a problem to change the mesh of the arms and shoulders, especially after having seen a character modelling tutorial^^.
      if u was such a hotshot i bet you coulda figured that yourself… lacking skills huh?
      sometimes i wonder how stupid people can get over such ridiculous matters :S

      Thanks again Paul. I really like the way you present these tutorials. I especially like the style that you have with your drawings of the muscular system on your characters.

      Well presented. Given an amateur the drive to use creative ideas and translate these into fantastic visuals, keep up the good work.
