Now that I'm done with this and I also have a clearer picture of how soon Face Customizer might be coming out, I'll be returning to doing more diverse Build-Videos soon. Let me know below what sorta things you want to see, and if someone says Minotaur again I'll be v angry
(I'll do the fkn minotaur at some point gawh)
Hmm maybe you should make a minotaur

@@TheGraveKnight Now this is a based suggestion
Make a really, really exaggerated angry face. Thand and some sort of Angel/Very Epic character
HES GONE AND BLOODY DONE IT
Coming from an amateur Heroforge user, this is very helpful. I absolutely suck at making custom colors, and I will be using this in my future models. Thank you for this Derf!
I think more importantly than the fact you're giving out these colors, I appreciate that they're all named, making it easier to keep track of what can be used for what.
Even as a digital artist this feels completely overwhelming to me tbh :'D
They should just hire you to completely redo their default color library! XD
Thank you for that silk tip, that's really hard to nail down on your own!
I've learned so much watching your videos! These are some of the best-presented tutorials/guides I've ever seen.
As a colorblind fellow, I need some help when it comes to coloring my models. I do have a pretty good grasp on textures tho, thanks to Derf's vids.
The guy who plays the Paladin in my D&D party, Sir Raul, is also largely colourblind, so I know it can be pretty rough :(
So many great tips in this one, good stuff. Thanks a bunch.
oh my gosh! its here, appreaciate all the work you do derf!
Man. My names for colors are weird.
This is really helpful, Derf!
thankyouthankyou
~4:05 - Cognac = CONE-yack. It's a type of liquor. And if that's the case, it's nowhere NEAR the inspired color, which makes the name TWICE was obnoxious. >:V
Used to only crack open HF to just... mess around for a few hours. Or model out a character. There's so much more you can do with this than I thought. :o
Hahah thank you
I thought it was cog-knack
As a beginner to heroforge and someone who knows basically nothing of color theory, this is incredibly helpful
I say is instead of was because I'm still using it for my characters, until I'll eventually learn to do stuff without the training wheels
For skin, I personally prefer making it's roughness be at max and disabling the skin "box" - it works a lot better with dark/dramatic lighting I find
That's some dry skin..........
but nahahah in all seriousness I've seen that done before, it works p well, I agree. It isn't my own favourite but it has a nice style
I do this too! I find the default roughness setting for skin makes models look sweaty so I usually turn the roughness up. Turning skin roughness down works well for mer-people, reptilian people, water genasi, etc. I also disable the skin box on a lot of non-human skin tones like orcs or Drow otherwise the red undertone mixes w the green/purples and makes it look off.
Not only did you finally get it done, you actually got it done before face customizer.
Damn right
That wasn't hard
The colors kids the colors!
Also the default beige cloth is good for ropes, I'll stand by that one forever.
Rotten harbour is the only default colour I won't trash
@@Derfholm Fair, I use it too. I'd say that the beige is a good starting point for ropes if nothing else
Thanks Derf!
you're welcome :)
A shortcut I use when looking for a color I won't have to reconstitute by hand (no pro tears) is to change the material of a default color. Hair to leather, plastic to fabric, skin to metal. Interesting things come out
Something I figured out for human skin, is to:
- raise the mid and low tone roughness to 60, except for palms where everything is 55 (compare ur palms to the backs of ur hands, they tend to be shinier. palms r also paler and, in the high points, pinker)
- raise fuzziness to 20-30 for everything except palms, lips and tissue inside the body - humans have hair on almost all skin
- bump up the pinkness of the highlight a bit on the face as well, faces tend to be slightly more pink than the rest of the body, at least on light skin
- for eye socket colours u can bump down the roughness as well
- for the lashline, I use the HF guts colour, i just change the colour to almost white. for the lower waterline, same, but change the highlight colour to a hair colour.
- for a no makeup lip look, i practically always use the ombre lip decal, with a no-fuzz skin tone on the decal and a colour matched HF Guts swatch (shiny!) on the actual lip.
- i like to turn the lowlight of a hairline decal into a darker version of the skintone to simulate the skin shining through. for eyebrows, the lowlight can straight-up be the same as the mid- or highlight of the skintone.
thanks man!
He did it...he made the video!!
I am now levitating into the air with pure joy.
Do you have any tips on animal fur vs human hair? Like should there be any noticeable differences or does it work well enough to just use the hair method with fur?
Export / Import Color Library would be a great Pro feature.
I notice that you didn't mention anything regarding string or lacing. Do I color it like cloth, hair, or something else? Anyways, love the video. Very helpful, indeed!
Great guide! Have you had much luck getting olive/Mediterranean or East Asian skin tones?
I haven't actually tried to make specific ones for that, no! If I expand my folder of skintones I will for sure
Do you have any tips for colored metals, or are those just kind of universal with the metals tips you included here? I love using vibrantly colored metals in a good portion of my models but can't really get it to stick in a semi-realistic way without feeling too dull or out of place.
the issue is that Metal makes colours extremely saturated which in turn makes any 'coloured steel' potentially look ridiculous if you're not careful. Personally I prefer very faded colours for those kinda metals, and a perfect example of that is the Rune Blue colour I use on the model at the start & end of the video. Link to that one is also in the description so you can take it and check out the base Rune colour for a direct example
I just love how you pronounce 'fuzz' and say it like 'fuss' lol
He’s done it
Damn, nice thumbnail 😎
..................................................................
thank you
i dont need this guide but ill watch it anyway
What about for dragon/dragonborn scales? Just the same metal/colored metal/skin colors?
Gotta admit, I still have to hurt myself by entering the deeps of roughness and fuzz cog wheels XD
Doooo it dooooo it doooooooo it
Huzzah
I was wondering, how did you rearrange your Color Library? its looks like it's organized by colors and neatly classified! Did you create each color individually one by one by color type or is there something I'm missing on hero forge features? Mine is a real mess....
i try to just click and slide and it didn't work lol
You're correct. There is no way to move colours around- meaning that if you want them organized you have to meticulously SAVE them in order. And yes, it is exactly as annoying and tedious as you can imagine
YOOOOOOOOOOOO
Hmm maybe I should be using an extensive library instead of making every colour every time from scratch
HMM MAYBE
Wondering if older tutorial still hold or not
hahahahah
no
how do you do those tiny shields?
It's an ironing tool on an extra arm, clipped into the body upside down
Theme color and fuzz guide when though?!
dfghdfghdfghfdgh
Comment 👍
Tier ranking video of the themes when? Ranging from trash to burn it in hellfire ofc.
I'm not sure I'd go quite so far as to call the default colors "terrible"... as long as you're okay with your plastic miniature looking like a plastic miniature.
Doesn't take too much tweaking to make them look a lot better, though.
Nice
