Cuby is a cute minimalistic character who stars in this short animation. If you've just started to learn Blender, you may enjoy this tutorial about modeling Cuby. Even though he's a simple fellow, there's plenty to learn!

I have always liked this character :)
looks like a similar character from the Nickelodeon channel.
oh cute. :D
Wow! I never ever imagined I'd see this here! Thanks very much for posting this Bart. I guess I'd better finnish the tutorial properly now, and work harder at getting my new Kung Fu Cuby movie completed (nearly there).
About the nickelodeon character, I've heard about him, but never actually seen him.
I'm still really surprised to see this :)
sweet! sometimes it is really better to keep it simple.
It is great to see how expressive Cuby is, especially how simply he is made. I like it. Thanks.
Right! It's very expressive!!!! Please, complete your tutorial!!!!

really?
nice. i wish this tutorial was around when i started using blender. the one i used was the gingerbread man one- it was too complex and i got lost. but this one is good. an easy model to create for beginners, and covers everything including facial animation
-sorry author of gingerbread man tutorial!!
yay cuby!
congrats on making it to blendernation :)
Nice one Cuby! Your little friend got here before you ;)
Congrats on making it to BlenderNation, Cuby (even though you're sitting right beside me...)!
It really is a great tutorial :)
An excellent example of how complexity is not necessary for an expressive, animatable character. Does Cuby have a girlfriend made of spheres?
AndyD:
Yes, her names Britney.
Well done Cuby.
