Hello, I have been rendering in Blender for 4 years and I have done GFX for 7 months, and in this course I will teach you what you should do, and what you shouldn’t do, along with some common beginner mistakes. If you disagree on a certain topic, please bring it up in the comments. With that being said, let’s get started!
Should I extend this guide and show you guys how to make a GFX start to finish?
On a scale of 1 to 10, how useful was this guide? If I missed anything or you disagree, please reply to this post! Here is the second part of the course: How to Make a GFX Course: Part 2, Color Theory 43 Likes
Very useful & detailed tips! Thanks 2 Likes
If you have any ideas for my GFX guide where I will guide you through how to make a GFX, please let me know .2 Likes
You advertised “Basics of GFX and Tips” but all I see are tips. How can I implement these if I can’t figure out how to do half of them? Definitely add a detailed guide. Also: Logimite:
Highly disagree with this one, especially if you’re making a GFX for a Roblox game. 1 Like
First off all, I didn’t “advertise it” because I am not making money off this guide. Also, I will cover how to do this later. What I mean by “Don’t add models from Roblox” is, for example, if you need a tree for your game, you should take it from a free model website, not from roblox, because roblox is game optimized, not optimized for renders.

Sounds like a lot of trivial tips & tricks that I have on my back of my hand… but the most important detail to highlight, that is not listed, is the color theory. The Color Theory
In a general case, each value on the hue sets a different tone on the story, allowing that to be emphasized. White tones are usually very holy. Red tones are very aggressive, deadly and dangerous. And there are many more descriptions that each color represents. Saturation is important in some aspect of “age”. You can have hyper-saturated colors for a very, very childish palette that can be seen on children’s toys. Lesser saturated colors are usually mature and worn-out. Although it seems that they reflect joy and sorrow in this spectrum of colors, likewise the major and the minor chords. You can set the saturation based on what time it is set on, what audience is intended to view at it and the story behind it. For the brightness, contrast or value, this aspect is typically related to bright vs. dark. Like in music, the lower frequencies are dark while the upper frequencies are bright. If you want your graphics to be very grim, dark and sinister, use a dark setting. Otherwise, bright setting. Contrast is important if you really want your image to be defined and dynamic, like the way we see motion(it’s all contrast-based). This theory is applicable in all graphical work, from GFX/graphics designs to real-time renders in-game. It’s much like a fundament in contrast to music theory. 5 Likes
I was planning on covering that in my next tutorial since this is a huge subject and can’t be explained in one paragraph or so. 1 Like
I personally would steer away from Blender altogether, I would rather see people using 3D Builder as Blender is way too complex. 1 Like
Blender is not at all complex. Roblox studio is a toy compared to it and is extreamly limiting. Once you learn blender it is a skill that will be useful for a long time. 2 Likes
I can’t even apply a texture in Blender, it’s hard to move around and Microsoft’s software is much easier to use. I’ll admit that the output isn’t as advanced but it’s still decent.
Applying a texture actually is easy in blender and you should do some more research before saying that it is bad. 1 Like
I’ve followed tutorials and they’ve never worked. Also I never mentioned about Studio, I mentioned Microsoft’s 3D Builder.
I have tried out microsoft 3d builder and it is very limiting and hard to use. You say that the tutorials “never work”, but maybe it is because you haven’t tried to learn. 3D builder is better for 3d printing.
I have, I’ve used about 4 YT tutorials and they don’t work and I even used DevForum tutorials and they didn’t work. I’d rather not argue about this so I won’t send another response.
Can you instead make the tutorial instead with pIctures or make a video of how to do it?
Yeah that is what I am doing next lol. This was the first of the course xD. As soon as my mac comes back I will write it. 1 Like
Updated the title so it makes more sense.
How about posing? Its the very basic stuff
If you read my other replies, this is the first in the series.
