| Hi, I need a plenty of Blender tutorials especially aimed for games. Mostly low poly modelling tutorials needed. Both video and text tutorials are fine for me. I searched the net but couldn't find much tutorials related to games. If you have some useful links, that would be great. Thanks in advance, cheers. |

| http://www.blender.org/tutorials-help/ Has videos and step by steps. I strongly reccommend suporting it by ordering the manual. It is an easy to understand 500+ page book. It teaches you loads and make you realise very quickly, that blender isnt the scary weird complicated modeller everyone thinks it is, but rather a powerful, capable, industry quality tool. One of the best software-related purchases i have made in a while. |

| Thank you but I need something more game related, for I need to progress more quickly as I don't have much time. |

| There's no quick way to become proficient with any modelling tool. It takes practice, talent and patience, I'm afraid. |
| ||
| Yes, I know, I didn't say I want to be a blender guru in a week. I just don't want to bother with things like rendering and high poly modelling which are not game related. As a programmer, I know learning things need patience. |

| Excellent low-poly character modelling video tutorial (big download though) bottom of page. http://www.montagestudio.org/Site/Tutorials.html |

The principles to modelling games stuff is more or less the same as the high end stuff, except you usually use far less geometry. |

| Thanks for the tutorials, I didn't notice the one in the gamedev. @D4NM4N: Modelling a high poly model and a low poly model is really different. I don't need a lot of edgeloops, nurbs etc. Just box modelling or polygon modelling, using reference photos, unwrapping and animation. I have experience with wings3d and milkshape3d. And I don't need rendering, lightning etc. too. |

| True, but the basic modelling principles (how to edit etc) are the same, I use edgeloops all the time for low poly stuff. Even if im doing a hi res model i still start off low poly (usually just from one cube) and just keep adding details. The actual vids for the interface, intro to modelling and UV mapping are just that - basic interface, modelling and texturing nothing advanced. I was modelling basic stuff after a few hours with the manual. (which is why i reccommend buying it=) Although you can view the manual pages online. Look for the gingerbread man tut. It wil defo get you started :) |
