Quick tip to add to this. When you sculpt a palm, your fingers are suppose to look shorter on palm side of your hand. This is because there is a slanted plane that starts in between the knuckles and stops at the end of the webbing in between your fingers. You can notice this plane alot more if you slightly bend your fingers forward and apart stiffly and can actually feel it really well with your other hand.
Good Tip
So sweet, really good camera work as well, may have to purchase your character course!
Sign of mastery: making it look easy.
always mesmerizing and inspiring to watch you go! thanks so much for sharing!

One of my favourite 3D artist.đđŸ
Thank you
Still a beast J. Been enjoying your youtubes. Keep em comin. - Joe
thanks bro, will do
Omggg youre so gooddd

Master!
I have to *hand* it to you, that was great
Gonna have to give you a hand for that one
Nice details~`
Very awsome.đ
Glad you like it
Nice
Damn as a freshman in art school id kill to have you as a mentor
I'm pretty busy but I do mentorships on the side occasionally. gl with art school
Ayy, that's really handy!
:)))
I see what you did there
I need to give this a go, ive been struggling with 3D sculpting for years, I find it hard to make subtle changes without having a physical piece of clay in front of me. From watching this Ive realised that I often will have too high a strength on brush and go too far with pushing and pulling the forms.
Yea do give it a go. Digital sculpting is fun once you get the hang of it. Definitely go low on intensities especially if you want more control. I know artist that use 3-4 intensity. I use 12. Also pressure sensitive so Iâm often using a soft touch
I actily have a problom making the body of a monster or making a body in general befour sculpting on it
Awesome video, keep em coming!
Could you show how you setup your displacement maps and normal maps when starting to transfer your sculpts from zbrush to maya, when rendering in arnold.
I keep missing certain detail I sculpted when rendering, not sure if it's a scale issue or map issue.. it displaces but lacks the higher stage details I made in zbrush.
Thanks. Yea I plan to a video that covers going from Zbrush to Arnold
@@artofjhill wooohooo
Greate!
Hands are high đ„đ
Tanks just need this video s
so cool!!... Thanks!!!..will give a try.... btw, your brush link does not find any brush. I can see your other product... no brush.
Thanks. art station or gumroad store?
how did you oull it out? what brush?
why use the transpose line instead of the 3d gizmo?
Hey J, What do you think about the 3D scans? I been seeing a lot of posts from 3D scan store and its crazy the level of detail they can get with scans right now! Do you think this is will be a problem for 3D sculptors in the future?
Hey. 3D scans already is replacing lots of work that would've been made by an artist. There will always be art to and jobs for artists though. Movies are done with photography and there are lots of artists on that. Pixar keeps making beautifully hand made stuff etc. So I wouldn't ever stop learning and improving hand made techniques unless you wanted to focus on the 3D scan workflow which will also always be useful for different productions.
Good Video
Thank you
@@artofjhill are you planning to upload a QnA video in future??
hey j, just a quick question, do they use base mesh for head,hand,feet creation in their AAA games pipeline or every time they have to start from scartch?
basemesh for sure. no reason at all to start from scratch. beginning of each project is a good time to update basemeshes though
Your logooooooooo
can u make a vid about skin shading in maya arnold?
I do plan to make that video just not sure when. Will do though
Is there a masking tutorial im working on a project assigned by my teacher and im behind on my work right now stuck on the first form of the model and im struggling with the hands and trying to sculpt out the feet how do you mask and extrude like that ?
just draw a mask, invert it, pull out the mesh, then dynamesh again
If you have time later, can you make a toe sculpting video?
Thanks to you, you can make your fingers. Can you tell me where the moving function is at 03:25?
Itâs the transpose line. You get that by turning off the gizmo from the transform menu
@@artofjhill thanks for letting me knowđ
Love this video! Thank you! :}
I have a question, if you don't mind answering:
How long did this take you?
I'm kind of new to sculpting, and I am striving to set realistic goals of time and how long it "should" take me to do certain things once I get better at them.
This one maybe took 6 hours of sculpting time
@@artofjhill Incredible! Thanks so much for answering. It's a beautiful sculpt.
How do you get to make the transpose brush working that way? in my zbrush it has the normal gizmo
Itâs called the transpose line. Itâs the original before the gizmo. Hit Y on your keyboard to switch
@@artofjhill thank you man!
Do you use a mouse or a wacom when you are sculpting on z brush? Or another device? TY
Nvmd I see you have a list of your setup in the description. Thank you
@@nl1125 have to have a tablet to sculpt can't do it with a mouse. need that pressure sensitivity
@@artofjhill Ah I see. Thank you
I am trying to re sculpt on my hands/fingers to a model that I got from a Styku scan. It's REALLY difficult because I have no idea about masking or cutting or anything....all I know is clay build up brush and move brush, and how to smooth. Yeaah. This isn't a bad video but I think I need to review a bunch of the mask stuff from another video first. I managed to sculpt my right hand back OK but the left is giving me trouble. >__
yea, definitely look up any words or tools you're not familiar with. Pixologic's website has an article on everything that you can read and see examples. Hope it helps. Keep sculpting
how much important a screen pentablet for digital sculpting??
you can't sculpt without pressure sensitivity so It's crucial. You don't need a super fancy one to start with though as long as it's a pen tablet it should get the job done
nice tutorial) can you share your zrush interface layout?)
for sure. I should get it up online this weekend. I'll put it on my site store and gumroad for free
Sir will you make video for sculpt Asian and Japanese face??
That's a cool idea. I may do that sometime. I want to do some videos on faces this year so I'll keep that in mind too
@@artofjhill thank you so much sir i check on youtube and Google i dont find any tutorial of Sculpting asian and Japanese face... I really like your technique to i request you.. Thank you so much again Sir I will wait for it.. đđâ€ïž
Where's the nail of the pinkie?
Great video demonstration, and excellent work. I thought it was a cool theme--the connection of young and old reaching out literally and as down through time. It is somewhat reminiscent of Michelangelo's Sistine Ceiling fresco depicting the hands of God and Adam. You described your process and motivations very clearly in an impressive flow of commentary. I'm curious how you would approach hands intended for animation and rigging, as compared to a static design, particularly how modeling skin would work. Obviously, skin stretches over joints and bunches up into folds as things move around, so I'm wondering how to model for realistic skin behavior. Thanks for posting such and informative tutorial.
Thanks for the nice comment. For CG hands to behave as you describe, they would need to be built with good topology for animation then be rigged with a skeleton model and tendons in the hand and the skin would be simulated to physically slide around. Maybe also multiple displacement textures to show the wrinkles compressing and such while animating. That would be the highest end way to author a cg hand and would only happen if it was in a big budget film and was in close up. At that point, you'd just film a real hand though :p
@@artofjhill "...just film a real hand though"... LOL...good point. Although, recently the fidelity has improved so much in CG and in games that we can't be too far of from truly hyper-realism of this sort. Also, that's interesting about multiple displacement textures. I guess you'd have to create at least 2 or more keyframe-like maps and blend between them. And as for the skin and tendon simulations, I've seen some videos of Ziva. Probably could be applied to hands, but like you said, would it be worth the effort? Anyway, thanks for the demo. Cheers!
when the video played 1/3, I thought it is done
how do u get that UI blue?
Customize UI Colors
I hated killing 69 likes, but you definitely deserve more.

Never click so fast
Curios of the machine you're running, somehow I expected to see windows but I'm seeing Mac OS windows.
yea I use mac OS it's an IMac Pro 2018 10 core
