  • nice model, btw you could have saved some time by using array and mirror modifiers.

  • @MattGraeme very very true. Were I modeling this for a client I most certainly would have used some time savers. In making a tutorial, however, I felt it was better to do the long way around so viewers, especially beginners, would learn a little more in depth into the software.

  • Chad, thanks BIG TIME!

    Awesome tutorial collection. Really learned a lot from your videos!

  • @Ringo7000 Your very welcome. I'm glad I could be of service. Thanks for watching! I've been out of town recently for the birth of my nephew, but I am back and getting started on a new video. Textures for this tutorial will be uploaded to my website very, VERY soon. Thanks again

  • The tutorial is nice, but how can you upload such long videos?

  • @MaximSachs This is the first video I have recorded since making youtube partner. Being partner has its perks. Longer videos is one of them. I hope you enjoy the longer format videos. It enables us here at firechild video to provide much more advanced, in depth content. In short, it means more work for me, but the benefit is all for you!

  • for some reason, you kind of remind me of a blender version of greyscalegorilla.

  • This was one of the best template laying/color videos I've ever seen. I have one question: I have painted the same (and new) landscapes many many times because when I restart Blender my image does not save to the landmass. (I've hit Save / Save As many times, tried template, color etc.) How do I save the color to the image so that I can move onto something else? I am really tired of this part and would love tom move on. Thank you, and keep up the good work.

  • Just amazing. I would love to model this, but I am pretty newbie on 3D modelling and I don't have time cause of stupid school.

  • America calls it socker the rest of the world calls it fottboll
