About this tutorial

Capybaras are naturally round and chubby, so they’re a lovely character to build from simple shapes.

In this tutorial, I’ll take you through making him step by step. The templates give you a visual guide at different stages of modelling, so you can keep checking the sizes, forms and proportions as you work.

With a few changes to the details, the same basic shapes can also be used to make other animals, like a hamster, guinea pig or beaver.

I hope you have fun making this one.
