    Hi! I first knew Blender when I was 58, and I studied hard on YouTube for two years. On YouTube, you are one of my teachers. I finally started my own YouTube in 2021 this year when I was 60 years old. My content is music videos I made with my own music and video. It's really difficult, but my retirement life has become fun. I would like to express my gratitude to you for helping me learn Blender. Thank sooo much!

    Missing important step, self note: When you have done making everything with your metaball shape you need to convert it to mesh and you're doing it by Right Mouse Button clicking on empty space opening Object Context Menu and then clicking Convert to>Mesh

    Steve: You can go and add simulations to make it more fun to mess around with! Me: This little maneuver is gonna cost us 51 years.
  • @JustValxntine
    I've never used blender. Probably never will, it's currently 3am and I just watched this whole thing in awe. People are amazing, man. This was a sweet video
  • @exhileris4k857
    I learned so much more here in blender than in the other 30 to 60 plus minute blender tutorials. Especially when the goal for me is to use blender as a tool create digital art faster and potentially use it to create environments
  • @StevenKelley
    Okay so open up Blender and...... What did he say again?
  • @Asherons
    This is equivalent to a 1990's guitar tutorial video where they shred, then say "Ok! Now you try!" Liked/Subbed
  • @gamin8ing
    Fun fact: even the promotional cut and, Steve himself, are made in blender 2.9

    How to create a 3d character in 10 minutes Cg geek : makes 16 minutes Fans : You had one job
  • @MrsHorridVR
    Weirdly enough this is the best tutorial I've seen for character creation in blender. Thank you Steve!
  • @tigersunruss
    I just started Blender a month ago and wanted to see what it takes to make a character. Pretty time consuming (as expected) but thanks for doing a quick over view of important things to do and wow without having a 3 hour tutorial. To me, this is achievable.
  • @Feangar
    Great video! Recently I've been working on a character and re-topologizing it and personally I like using the poly build tool with auto vertex joining on with a bit of a margin. Really simplifies things for most cases.

    Blender Tutorial Title: "Learn to do this in 10 minutes!" Reality: "10 minutes of fast-forwarded video. That'll be 5 hours of effort, noob." CG Geek, you're still a king. Thanks for your imagination and education ;)
  • @karmeltv1620
    Best tutorial on YouTube i searched sooooooo many tutorials and everyone making it soo hard to explain, showing 1000000 harder exaples of easy things, or giving US random info we wont use as a beginners. Thank you soo much for that video, you dont even know how much it Just helped me. Take care!
  • @joetkeshub
    The most valuable speed-creating session with SO MUCH HELPFUL AND INSTRUCTIVE details. Your tutorial is still relevant after 2 years. The only cons: too fast demo even if it's complete. Thank you very much.
  • @tuvie35
