Should I follow this fag's tutorials or the official Blender channel ones?

What is your goal, what are you trying to model? I'd suggest just starting it yourself and googling relevant tutorials along the way (for example "How to sculpt anime girl in Blender", "how to create a city background using geometry nodes", etc).

I want to animate with already existing models from video games but I don't know jack about Blender.

Animating in blender is a horrible idea, blender was never made for animation. Do not spent months to learn dumb things that only work in blender. Do not download awful rig models made by a noob that uses scripts to create a moving model.
i recommend any other program but blender.

What benefits do other programs have over Blender for making relatively simple AMV-type animations?

Both, I suppose. I learned the controls by going through the 2.8 beginner videos, and literally mimicking the button presses I saw on screen. I didn't do them all, because once I got the basics down, I was eager to do the shit I really wanted to do. Which is just box modelling.
I did the owl tutorial on blender's channel to actually apply what I learned. I also did the donut tutorial, to once again, apply the basics. The owl and donut tutorials are very hand-holdy. Which is why they're good. They assume you have absolutely no fucking idea how to use any 3D software. So they show you everything click by click.
Ultimately, as you become more accustomed to the interface, each tutorial will become faster and more intuitive. But you have to learn the basics of the interface first. So just sit down and turn one of the playlists, and get through it. Flip a coin if you can't decide.

he has never created a single asset that could actually land someone a job. watch some random 500 subscriber channels character creation tutorial instead.
it should include the following:
box-modeling in the rough shape
sculpting the mesh
retopologizing
UV-mapping
packing UVs
texturing
rigging
weight painting
animating a simple walk cycle
if you manage to push through all of this successfully and end up with a result that doesn't look horrible, you have what it takes to switch to actual software (3ds max, maya, zbrush). either way you should be uninstalling blender within the next few weeks.

I never learned modeling or anything from this fagot. All I learned about blender was from random people posting tutorials on YT. This was back in the day.
I literally can not get over how worthless his

No information on nothing.

It's called bad rigging, whoever made this looks like he never seen a rig. A center within a center within a center?!?! What the heck, two is normal but 3?!?! Overlapping controllers, seems fun... XYZ are not the same, you can see the legs are not following the rules, even in blender this is just awful. Things that should be FK is not FK, seems like everything is IK. Lastly, it's the orbs a model?!?! Why would anyone make a model controller, mad things happen during rendering.
This picture should be an example of what you should not do.

Nigga, before trying to animate NSFW stuff learn the basics from the Donut guy, anyway it's free, but don't try the 4weeks thing, the tutorials are outdated as fuck.
Or pirate/buy Udemy's basic blender courses, Grant Abitt's courses are better than the Donut Guy and will learn the animation basics, bones, FK and IK, walking animation, and more shit. Pretty much this >>945900 .

And that's a problem with the rigging community, no standards and people trying to make money on unsuspecting newbies. The project is dead, 2 years no update, blender 3 wont accept the plugin and the guy calls himself a " semi-experienced rigger" but fails at basic rigging. ny animator who sees his video would say no to the model controllers.

None are correct, these plugins are also bad. Auto-Rig Pro and Rigifiy even states it's not 100% perfect:
http://lucky3d.fr/auto-rig-pro/doc/
https://www.blendermarket.com/produ
>So, it’s a magic one click rigging solution?
>It’s not! It includes many tools to automate and speed up the rig, but the rigging artist’s hand is still required to adjust the bones positions, vertex weights…
>Can you really rig ANYTHING with Rigify?
>Kind of :) Some things are indeed outside the scope of Rigify. Mechanical Rigging in particular is not covered.
Basicly the copycat of Maya auto rig.
The idea of rigging is to help animate, if you make a bad rig you are putting yourself or the person of animating way too much work. Both of these plugins are guilty of putting controllers within controllers within controllers. You don't need so many controllers in your model. it's a humanlike model no reason to make it complex.
I really hate Rigify version, two arrows?!?! why did someone add another arrow on the arrows, why does the arrows even exist
As for Auto-rig, thighs controllers for no reason, just look. It has legs which means the leg will move, why does the thighs even exist?!?! Even if you want to make the model do a sitting cross leg pose, it can be done with the leg and knee controllers.
Don't buy these scams, it's clearly just a person trying to rip off newbies. Learning how rigs work and why making optimal ones for you or the person you are giving, is more important.

I use Maya but the same theory is used, don't make the rig a mess, if you dont understand then neither can the person animating it.
I looked everywhere for at least a decent person who can rig in blender but only found people who only did it for 4 years or less. Tried to find courses that doesn't require plugins, many simply do not know how to make rigs without plugins. ETC, i'm just recommending learning as you go, many blender users always find it better to learn as they go and find answers when needed.
So find a good rig, learn how they build it, use that knowledge to build your own rig. Better to learn from a rig that people really like, build without plugins and easy understand the model without asking.

Maya is too expensive for me.. $2k a year. And I don't feel comfortable installing pirated software on my PC.
I get what you mean with custom rigs but I'm a pure programmer without any art skills and already learning modelling is overwhelming.
What are some things to look out for in a good rig? You mentioned keeping it clean, but is there anything else?
And if you had to choose between Rigify and Auto-Rig Pro, which rig looks better and more standard?

Blender ways to do animation is not normal, the rig models are almost the same but when you want to do animating, you will have problems getting a job in animation.
Also this $80 course does not cover Mocap, Special effects (yes i count it because you will need to add it in some point in your job) and other more advance stuff like plane looking grass following camera. Plus he admits he's self taught which doesn't give me enough reason to trust him when his domain is only created in 2021 and zero information on this Pierrick Picaut person.

my description of him (söyface) is spot and I will gladly reiterate that yes, you really can categorize youtubers by whether or not they put a large image of their own face into the thumbnail for no fucking reason.
