Joints and AnimationĪs you get more advanced, you’ll eventually want to start animating characters like bad guys and NPCs.
HOW TO MAKE 3D CHARACTERS IN AC3D SKIN
Doing this is nice and simple as you just have to hold CTRL and right click where you want the points! Then select all your points with A, go to the mesh menu and choose ‘ Faces > Fill’, or apply the skin modifier.

Modifiers are found on the right by clicking the small spanner symbol.Įven more flexible is the ability to draw vertices/lines free hand. We didn’t use this for our mug as it has a more textured, wood-like appearance. Something you’ll use a lot meanwhile is ‘subdivision surface’, which will smooth out your polygons and make a disco-ball into an actually smooth sphere. Tools like the ‘skin’ modifier for example can be extremely helpful for turning a very thin and basic wireframe into something 3D. Modifiers allow you to modify your model in various ways. This is handy for elaborate designs and can be a very useful reference as you work. From there, you can then fill in your design by building the wireframe underneath, before rubbing out the pencil. The grease pencil is a tool that you can use to draw a rough outline or sketch of what you want to create in 2D but in the 3D space (kind of like using Tilt Brush).
Hopefully you’ve learned enough here to start playing around yourself and developing further but before you go, here are some other bits you might want to look into early on… Grease Pencil This article is supposed to serve as a rough introduction, not a comprehensive guide to Blender. A good place to start would be by adding extra items into the scene. There’s only so much you can accomplish by spinning items around though, so it’s time we started actually getting creative. This is what controls the view when you render an image or create an animation – but that’s another post for another time! Adding More Meshes Just to complicate matters further, this is different once again from the ‘camera’ which you might notice is hovering in the background. Changing the view simply allows us to see what we’re doing. The perspective doesn’t actually matter from a game developer’s perspective though, as we’re going to be exporting the 3D model as it is and then changing the perspective in the game. When you rotate the mesh on its horizontal axis, this will look the same as when you rotate the perspective by clicking the scroll wheel. Try to keep in mind the distinction between what you’re seeing and the 3D model itself. These each transform the selected mesh in the way you’d expect. You’ll find more controls on the left, which include:
