minusT
Hello, I'm minusT, a 3D animator. I currently create subculture-focused character animations using Blender on YouTube. While Blender is an excellent tool for beginners in 3D, resources related to subculture animation are still quite limited. Drawing on 16 years of self-taught experience in 3D, I'm here to share all the foundational Blender knowledge I've gained with you.
This course is designed for beginners in Blender character modeling. You'll learn the LD character modeling process with realistic human proportions, helping you build practical and detailed Blender skills. Join me for a natural and structured training experience.

Interview with
3D Animator minusT
Question.01
What do most people find the most difficult when creating a full-body character in Blender?
The most challenging part of character modeling is, without a doubt, the human body. Unlike real anatomy, characters are often stylized, so applying proportions and expressions that suit the deformation is crucial. Especially with the face, even the slightest variation can drastically change the character’s impression. In this course, you’ll explore these key points of character modeling through hands-on practice with real examples.
Question.02
What was your primary focus when designing the curriculum?
To model characters in Blender, it’s essential to utilize various features. I designed the curriculum to help students build a strong foundation in character creation, covering modeling, shading, and rigging in a structured and comprehensive way.
Question.03
Who would you recommend this class to?
I recommend it to anyone wanting to create LD characters in Blender or those looking to take their basic modeling skills to the next level. Through this course, you’ll complete a full character and experience the joy of character modeling firsthand.
