    Specially as I tend to go "ugh" with 30+ minute videos and skip a lot, since many people aren't able to find a good pace for their tutorials, not repeating themselves a lot, but giving information at an understandable speed. I didn't really feel the need to move forward on the explanations, so that's a great sign!

    I might be late to the party here, but this is probably the best beginner tutorial on sculpting I've seen.
    The simple fact that this tutorial focuses on the technical side of sculpting and actually shows the tools that are neccessary to get started is incredibly helpful. For some reason, so many tutorials on sculpting only tell us what we're supposed to be doing, without actually telling us how to do it (the old "draw the rest of the owl" problem).
    Now that you've shown the tools to get started, I can finally follow the tutorials that focus on the artistic process behind sculpting and learn that. Great tutorial to get started!

    Notes to future self:
    - Shift+C puts cursor back to center (3:27)
    - Shift+A brings up the add mesh menu (3:31)
    - Radius changes brush size, Strength changes brush intensity.
    - Brush settings by default appear both above the viewport and on the right-side menu, and allow you to change the brush's various values.
    - Can drag out the left-side brush toolbar to expand it, allows for seeing the brush name.
    - M1 to add, CTRL+M1 to subtract
    - Draw brush & clay strip (+autosmooth 0.1 or softness) brush seem to both be useful standard brushes.
    - Inflate Brush seems fairly similar to Blob, maybe might be more subtle?
    - Blob Brush is fairly self-explanatory, adds/subtracts blobs of volume. Seems like it could be good for defining rounder shapes. Not entirely sure what the difference is between this and Inflate.
    - Crease Brush seems to be good for creases (obviously) as well as sharper additions/subtractions than the draw brush
    - Scrape Brush can be used for defining planes of the face or other distinct planes
    - Grab Brush seems to be super versatile, literally just 3d liquefy.
    - Snake Hook pulls out thin strands, seems super useful in specific scenarios.
    - Pose Brush is used to adjust parts of a sculpt, seems useful for character sculpting. Jank if used in places it shouldn't be used in.
    - Smooth Brush is self-explanatory.
    - Top-right dropdown can be used to change "MatCaps", affecting how an object is rendered. Ryan recommends searching out additional tutorials on importing/creating new MatCaps.
    - Mask Brush can stop other brushes from affecting a defined area. Can be inverted by using CTRL+i/I, allowing extrusion. ALT+M removes the mask.
    - Dyntopo & Remesh are both used as ways to provide more mesh to edit when you're running out. Remesh is manual while Dyntopo is automatic, but both have their own benefits.
    - Destruction modifier can be used to downscale the size of models while conserving visual detail.
    - Scaling a shape will lead to the sculpting being scaled as well. This can be fixed by applying the scaling via CTRL+A -> Apply -> Scale.
    Overall, fairly useful tutorial.

    14:30 just a quick tip, if we use F key to change brush size then normally we have to LMB to confirm. We can also customize it in the preference (keymap) by turning on 'confirm on release' so we don't need to LMB to confirm , just HOLD the F key and release it after we change the brush.

    0:50 Anyone reading this - Don't let this dissuade you from sculpting! I've never used a pen or wacom tablet, but it just takes a little time to use the mouse. It's similar to asking someone what kind of pen or paintbrush they use. Its all about making the right strokes and less about what utensil makes those strokes.
    You can also use the stabilize stroke option to make the stroke lag behind a little to give you more even, flowing forms.

    Years later this tutorial is still useful and relevant. I guess I'll echo what other commenters have said on this video, your teachings are clear and straight to the point digestible and understandable. If it's not too much to ask, if you read this, could you make an update tutorial in 3.0 with a nice looking character? Something not too complicated, but to get you used to using the tools And that you can build off of to other projects if you want to do so on your own. Thank you so much for this.

How to use the drawing tablet, how to zoom in, how to use the keyboard, how to use the pen. Watch at 8:38 if you understand the keyboard hotkeys and the basic interface of blender (like rotating the object).

    Just a question though, if I were to model a full character body, would I be able to decimate, rig, and then use the character for animation?

    • @RyanKingArt
      @RyanKingArt  Před 2 lety

      Thanks for watching! Yes, you could do that, although I would recommend retopologizing the object after you sculpt it. Then you can do the texturing, rigging and then animate it. proper retopology will make the object move and rotate better when its being rigged and animated.
