    Hey, I'm too broke for all fancy paid tutorials (40 bucks is like a salary for 20 hours of in retail/service work here), so I really really appreciate the free information and lessons put out by you out here. Thank you.

      Too advanced paid tutorials aren't good when starting. Tutorials like these are high-value. Just because they are free doesn't mean it cannot compare.

    @jarmadax Před 3 lety +186

    YES for more Blender sculpting tutorials! Also it would be nice to see a tutorial on what happens after the sculpting phase - like normal map baking and texturing. In Blender of course.

    • @JohnSatan

      After sculpting you do retopology first, and only then baking normals

    23:30 just hover over the object you want to sculpt on and press D (new with 2.93 now) and it will switch - no nasty outliner searching and clicking needed :)

    • @FlippedNormals

    This is incredibly informative!
    I just downloaded Blender yesterday, eager to get started, and was immediately swamped by my lack of knowledge of the program. I've never worked with anything like this in my life
    Thankfully, a freind recommended this video to me, and I am already learning so much.
    Thanks for putting this together, I'm going to have this opened in a tab along with the blender program while I learn.

      o.
      Jhon 1:14 The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
      JESUS christ , is God himself who have came to save all creation, us to cleanse everybody through his blood and on the cross as a payment for the sins we all have committed.
      Jhon 14:6
      Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
      7 If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well.
      There is an easy small step remaining, and that thing is for you to claim him as your lord and saviour and God and not be counted as a rebeller by the God, the creator who have died for you.
      Thank you brother.

    Instead of Ctrl+tab to access the pie menu there is an option in the settings that allows you to access various pie menus by holding their respective hotkey e.g hold tab (and move your mouse) to access the mode select pie menu; hold z to access the view mode pie menu; hold ` (tilde/grave) to access the view axes pie menu. I find it rather useful to have on.
    You can find it in Edit > Preferences > Keymap > Preferences > Pie Menu on Drag

    • @dreamsprayanimation
      @dreamsprayanimation Před 3 lety +1

      If you are using a wacom or any similar tablet that has a stylus with buttons I would make middle mouse the top stylus button and f the bottom button while having Ctrl and Shift as the top tablet buttons. This way you can rotate around with middle mouse button, pan with shift+middle mouse and zoom in and out with middlemouse+ctrl all with just your pen and tablet buttons.

  • @ViktorsJournal
    @ViktorsJournal Před 3 lety

    It's cool watching your vids. Btw now if you hover over another model and press D it will take you to sculpt mode of that object so you don't need to go to the colletion tab.
    Also the detail size in dynatopo, I'd avoid talking about density since higher density means more not less (unless I misunderstood what you were there talking about), I think detail size is pretty self-explanatory but with density it's lower detail size means higher density but then again I think I could misunderstand the language there who knows so don't take this too seriously guys ;0.

    • @dreamsprayanimation
      @dreamsprayanimation Před 3 lety

      It's a good idea to either remesh or retopologize your sculpt once all of the big shapes and silhouette blockout is done, then working with multiresolution to add details. This way your base topology will subdivide in a way that gives you a balanced distribution of polygons, just subdividing from the blockout phase is unnecessary and very taxing on performance. Another thing to keep in mind when using the remesh CTRL + R is to pick the voxel size with SHift + R beforehand and make it small enough to be able to actually break down your mesh and preserve the details.

      activate mirroring on an axis (usually x) on the top right of the sculpting workspace
