are you telling me a shrimp fried this rice

thank you so much! and yes, i've been thinking about doing some sort of mini tutorial and document my current process, so it's good to know people are interested :]

as for what i used to learn, i thiiiink i started learning blender with this video (it was a WHILE ago) :

it's a simple to follow tutorial + she shows both what shortcuts she is using and some helpful add-ons for modeling in blender.

the rest i learned from just doing a lot of modeling 😭 - i would suggest just tackling whatever model it is you want to make and learning while doing it and looking up specific issues when you get stuck.

OH i almost forgot, i used to reference this image a lot for edge loops

i got him in SP and found a really cool pixel filter!! but i gotta make an actual low poly version of the model so i can bake the high poly normals onto it so the 3dishness is pixelated too. or something. i am not completely hip to lingo yet lol

anyway i've played around with blender on and off a few times over the years and have been getting into it more lately for modding clair obscur, but the froggy tut was really awesome for hot keys and add ons especially! looptools my new beloved <3

it just replaces the mesh etc of contorso (fully cosmetic) with that of dualiso bc i wanted to try a contorso-based build but that sword is like. unfathomably ugly
