  1. Not even the same picture :(
    If you are going to do a tutorial on something and try to show the end result at the beginning, then at least show the actual end result!

  2. Incredibly low effort and quality of the end result. How is it a tutorial?
    Blendernation do you need someone to check these before you post them and send everyone an email with it ?
    I would like to apply for the position.

  3. Great, fun exercise for beginners. Looks legit to me, maybe the other viewers didn't observe carefully. Thanks for sharing as always.

  4. Blendernation; be careful not to put only tutorials for people with medium and advanced knowledge...
    The community is also made up of people who are just starting out, and that tutorials like this are kinder ​​as a first contact for the provided tool.

    I think every tutorial is welcome.
    What can be done is a Seal, a Color that will be in every tutorial classifying it as:
    * Beginner
    * Medium
    * Advanced
    In these cores the content creators themselves would place what would avoid extra work and would serve as information for people to be interested or not in certain content.

    In relation to this tutorial I thought it was very welcome for me, if someone thinks the content is weak, it could more than offer content content, it could also help to create them.
    It would be more useful and welcome…

    Because I often see that the creator makes a content and nobody says thank you, but when it comes to criticism, the inspectors always appear.

    Thanks to the creator for the content. sorry for my bad english

    • I love tutorials for beginners and this would be a great one if it was not a lie.
      Following tutorials like this one will only make you frustrated and confused because you can not get the promised results with it. Not even the guy recording the tutorial could get the same result as shown in the start of the tutorial because that is not how that model is made.
      From my 15 years of experience in Blender 3D and many projects similar to this one I can promise you that this technique was not used to make the original image and trying to achieve it will only make you feel bad about your capabilities. There are many great tutorials for beginners in Blender but this is not one of them.

  5. How is it possible to turn the image on the left to the 3D file on the right when it is derived from a completely different image. The 3D file that is created in the tutorial is rather simplistic and of dubious quality, so the creator just cheats by showing a better quality, but totally different file at the beginning. Come on, doesn't anyone look at these videos before posting them.

  6. Hello JOSIP KLADARIC;

    Now I understand what you mean…
    Due to not being native in English before, I didn't understand…

    You mean that the final result cannot be obtained with the process shown in the video…
    Understand.

    Yes, it's true that would bring frustration to anyone who tried...
    And at my age it's easier to blame yourself and give up when you can't get something...

    It's always hard to have the strength to keep going when something doesn't go right in the process… wanting to give up and that's not a good feeling.

    Thanks for caring about the beginner community.

    Let's forgive the creator of the video for trying, I don't think he intended to deceive.

    I love you all.
