Hello Nikolay! I really enjoy your content and paid courses! You are a great teacher and you have such a cool personality and charisma. Thanks a lot for what you’re doing! Wish you all the best!
" i forgot about zbrush" hahaha very good. I hope the Blender team could optimize more the memory and caching mechanism, so we can do also more tight meshes in Blender, then i promise that i will forget very fast about zbrush too. Especially since they are now in a Boat with Maxon, who gave us already a taste of their license politics. The good thing in Blender, you have everything else in the same app, awesome rendering and animation. Ok the UV Editor still sucks, to be frankly, but this will come, like the clarisse like instancing, i can't wait to see it in the build. Thank you Nikolay for giving us this great helpful tutorials for Blender. Best wishes to bulgaria.
Can't wait for your course, Nikolay. There are many great tutorials on RUclips, but I think I have learnt more from watching your sculpting videos over the last few weeks than from anything else.
Great content! i'm so glad you've moved over to Blender! I would really love to see practice exercises for stylized sculpts. Many of us have passed the absolute beginner stage and it's hard to find good ideas for practice and tips in the stylized genre.
I think you should just check this guy, link in the description of this video, that did this concept, check his other works, select 10 of them, that you like the most, put them in the folder and start doing them one by one. Spend like 10 hours on each. At least that is what i did :)
@@SpeedChar i def will check him out. it's hard to find specific art styles and i end up spending more time looking for inspirational art than i do actually working lol
just did a bit of testing because i found it strange that you said that you need a strong GPU for high poly sculpting. (I have a 2070 super, 5600x and 32 gigs of ddr4 3200 ram) at 3 million poly's it would freeze for 10 seconds while upscaling from 1 mil to 3 mil. Other than that it was really smooth regardless of what i did, and looking at the usage on my 2nd monitor my GPU would be almost always under 40% whilst CPU would spike to ~70% and at 100% when remeshing. Blender sculpting is nearly 100% dependant on your CPU rather than GPU and that mostly will impact your experience, a 1060 should be enough if you pair it with a high end CPU like the 5600x for i'd say up to 5 mil poly count. also blender was consuming around 7 gigs of ram by itself so 16 gb could potentially be "barely" enough.
Okay you made me think :). Then i decided to test it out myself. I combined the four arms and the head with the body of one monster i am doing, and remeshed it, then Multires until it was 14 mil polygons. Now rotation in Sculpt mode is no problem, all okay, sculpting with some brushes is okay, with other is laggy. Rotating in object mode is a pain and videocard goes to 100% immediately. So it depends on the mode somehow. In sculpt mode my video doesnt go over 40%. My 32 logical cores of processor power goes to 100% when i change resolutions in multires. So you definitely need some processor for that.
@@SpeedChar different modes render things differently, and it also depends on if you have a mat cap. But if you are purely sculpting with lowest possible settings a GPU will not be a bottleneck in most cases
Can you do a video on which Zbrush features you'd like to see in Blender's sculpting/character workflow? I think blender is good enough at sculpting, but sometimes I think "damn wish it had this feature from zbrush" Edit: Damn those characters are awesome! Polypainting/texturing (+ shading maybe?) tutorial in blender please?:D
I generally dont have complains about Blender sculpting, except that i have to watch out for the polygon numbers here a bit more :). And i will talk and do texturing and shading in my newest course, so it will be here soon :). (by soon i mean in the next month or so) and maybe i will do some quick one for youtube too.
@@SpeedChar awesome! I tgink main two things are zremesher and performance. True, can buy quad remesher, and it's cheap compared to zbrush , but it's nice having things native
You don't need to save the textures, even if it's the best workflow, you can pack all the textures in the Blender File and saves them later if you want. Just do File->External Data->Pack Resources.
Hi Niko, your videos have been immensely helpful and now after about 1 month of practice I finally feel I'm about 1/4 competent at sculpting human heads in reasonable amounts of time. Can you make something about sculpting pretty boys and girls (i.e. younger than the typical subjects in your videos), or do you know other authors who have educational sculpting content on that regard?
Nikolay you are the best! i love your videos and how you explain all in detail. And is great see how you sculpt in Blender as alternative zbrush. Do you try sculp in nomad?
Thank you Nikolay for the fantastic tutorial. I have done stuff with the hard surface modelling of objects and geometry nodes, but I always felt a little lost when trying to attempt the sculpting - this gives me a lot to work off of. One quick question: if we wanted to make a feature asymmetrical (like say have the cleft palate only one side of the face) is it better to sculpt it in, then remove it from the off side later OR to sculpt without that and add it in after it's done? Or does it make any difference at all?
that was great. it's good to see stylized characters by the way on 31:10 I was like "why that part is deleted? is it for limiting light colors to natural ones?" and then find out it's for masking chroma key that every green color in screen is affected. be careful with next videos :) and in case you are curious about adding realistic hair particle to that mouse or this head, this video maybe helpful: ruclips.net/video/PXh8Pnt2lUA/видео.html or other stylized hair method: ruclips.net/video/BqWYgrXw7Jk/видео.html
You are pretty on point :). I noticed that filter yesterday while i was making one of the videos of my course, and i forgot to investigate. Now when you said i have removed it and it should be okay from now on, so thank you :). And for the fur and hair i know how to do it and groom it, but it looks good only in cycles, not in eevee. Which i dont like, since i kinda want to render it with eevee :).
Nice tutorial. I find it easier to sculpt male heads because they tend to have more obvious facial features/landmarks. Female characters tend to be more smooth and rounder, unless super realistic, exaggerated stylization, or older and I always end up having to tweak them a lot to get them just right. Have you ever felt similarly? Or rather, do you ever spend a lot of time tweaking faces to get them just right?
It depends. When i start practicing actively and do like 3-4 heads a day from sphere. At some point i reach a level when i do them kinda right very fast. But if i am in a period when i make 1-2 faces a week only, then i have to spend more and more time tweaking to get it right. It is all about current condition, like in sports :)
@@SpeedChar Makes sense. Sculpting a lot of heads from scratch, you warm up faster, become more agile, figure out adjustments, and avoid mistakes much more (sports again ^_^). It's good not to think in terms of male vs. female sculpts, but it's just something I've noticed with my own work. Thanks.
I loved the Anatomy of the Female Body course (Udemy), it is helping me a lot with my drawings. I would like to learn Blender simply to make reference poses for my drawings (2D), taking advantage of the light and perspective features. The problem is that finding Blender tutorials for this is kind of complicated, and I don't want to spend money on DAZ for this kind of thing. When will the Blender course come? Will there be minimum system requirements?
Are you gonna gradually move to blender now that zbrush is officially part of maxon ? I'm sorry i just wanted to know, i literally just bought your anatomy tutorial collection on Artstation, it was super helpful, I can't believe myself now that i can make a face properly 😅 only a matter of time before moving on to the body🔥thank you
Niko, first time i cannot agree with you regarding quad remesher :D in maya it works like sh** :) it like a throw money to the toilet.. ( talking from maya perspective)
I love your content. Us new users really appreciate you. Question though. I am following you step by step. Stopping frequently to see the controls you are using. And I can not get the smoothness in my model that you are.I can not achieve any detail. Just a chunky, messy mesh. Smoothing with Shift only ruins the few details I have achieved. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
From 1st of January this year I went all in on Blender. And for a beginner I definitely will recommend Blender since it is kinda easier to get. It's a bit more free :)
could you share the name of the artist who has drawn that character. i tried to search, but i think i am not spelling it right. this is an awesome sculpt for the time you made it in !
It is possible in some smaller companies definitely. In the big ones, it will be more difficult, but not the software is the issue. If you do great looking models it doesnt really matter where you make them. You can easily export from Blender to other apps, unless its animation, then it would be a bit more difficult i hear :).
I do the same thing, same time with this video, at the end my result is unacceptable :), a bit sad when you said that you wont back to zbrush cause you taught me everything in there, i moved from blender to zbrush and now you leave, while do this I still pressed alt for subtract and tried to rotate with only the pen （ ＾ω＾）
It took me like 5-6 hours in Blender to get used to the navigation, but it's fine after that :). I still teach Zbrush but in the academy where I am teaching in my city :).
I really want to use the latest blender but my PC is very old and I can't even use Blender 2.8 The version I can use is Version 7.9 and many add-ons don't work at all. Sculpting is also very bad in 7.9, so the only option I can use is ZBrush 2021, I don't know how my pc can handle ZBrush 2021 and also very smooth and fast at least if poly count is under 16 million or higher. But maybe later when I can upgrade my PC, I will use Blender because I really like Blender and I also really like navigation and others. (Why didn't I use the money for PC upgrade? Why Buy ZBrush? I didn't buy it, my kind friend gave it to me)
The good thing about Zbrush is that it works even on older laptops. You need just a bit more ram. But you dont need videocard at all which is great :). For Blender you definitely need better videocard since it is a real 3D app like 3DsMax, Maya, Etc.
@@SpeedChar Yupz, That's true. Even in my 4GB Ram it runs smoothly. But yes, Blender is really amazing because you could multitask in just that one software which is amazing. But for now I'm stuck with ZBrush, and lots of people here now only Blender and that's because it's free.
I am new in blender. I am using 2.78 version. When I switch to object mode or edit mode my object turned into the default sphere which I have used to sculpt. What is the solution ? Please help
I would highly recommend a graphic tablet. even the cheapest one from wacom, XPpen or Huion will do much better than mouse. You most of the time can find a nice one for good price second hand.
@@SpeedChar I'm using 3, perhaps my keybinds are different, I have a norwegian keyboard. Do you know what the name of the keybind , so I can find it? :)
@@Galaxy_Kal Maybe you dont understand what Alt+q is about. When you have another mesh like eyes, har, body or whatever, in sculpt mode to change between meshes.
Is it really so hard to make a decent amount of money by being a 3D artist? I was shocked after hearing that it is very hard for you to buy a good GPU. Because I see that you level in sculpting is very advanced, and it is sligtly discouraging for me.
The problem for buying the decent CPU like RTX 3090 are not the manifacturers prices but the resailers prices, and the lack of availability, which bumps the price two times at least. So it is very discouraging. I can afford it but i dont want to :). If you are a good 3D artist, you will be well compensated, definitely. But it also depends where you live and who are you working for. You will be best if you live in some normal, even poor coutry like i do, and work for companies in USA, canada, Swizerland, Germany or other similar country. :)
@@SpeedChar I live in Ukraine, and I guess we can consider the country poor. I was working as an aircraft engineer before, however, the max paycheck my company could offer was 600 dollars. But for this price you would have to work for 200+ hours per month in an office doing something you absolutely do not like. When I was working as an engineer, I was dealing with CAD programms only, and it was absolutely borring for me. I decided to quit the company and to start working in the game development field. I hope that quiting the company was a good decision))I even mastered english, because by the time I thought that it would help me to find a good job in the future, but in Ukraine it does not work like this...The absolute majority of people here do not know and do not need english here,the fact makes your previous words true - I have to boost my skills to the point when a good foreign company will decide to hire me.
@@armwrestlinginfo You always should go for boosting your skills. Even i am trying to get better and better, although i am working in the industry for more than 14 years :).
@@SpeedChar Man i felt guilty when I paid 650€ for my 3070, now they go used even for 900-1000. The 3050 is like 250 and already goes for 600. I hope to god these prices will not be the standart going forward with the 40 series
@@SpeedChar it is... it's about 1/3 of the price of ZBrush if I recall correctly and is more of a toolbox of 3D stuff ... more like Blender in that sense. But the sculpting is pretty cool as it has a voxel mode and can manage high poly counts.

Just a thank you for making me remember that i'm much more efficient while i sculpt by starting with few polys

@@SpeedChar I live in Ukraine, and I guess we can consider the country poor. I was working as an aircraft engineer before, however, the max paycheck my company could offer was 600 dollars. But for this price you would have to work for 200+ hours per month in an office doing something you absolutely do not like. When I was working as an engineer, I was dealing with CAD programms only, and it was absolutely borring for me. I decided to quit the company and to start working in the game development field. I hope that quiting the company was a good decision))I even mastered english, because by the time I thought that it would help me to find a good job in the future, but in Ukraine it does not work like this...The absolute majority of people here do not know and do not need english here,the fact makes your previous words true - I have to boost my skills to the point when a good foreign company will decide to hire me.
@@armwrestlinginfo You always should go for boosting your skills. Even i am trying to get better and better, although i am working in the industry for more than 14 years :).
@@SpeedChar Do you have a video where you would show your first sculpts or something like this?
@@SpeedChar Man i felt guilty when I paid 650€ for my 3070, now they go used even for 900-1000. The 3050 is like 250 and already goes for 600. I hope to god these prices will not be the standart going forward with the 40 series
No more courses for zbrush?
Maybe at least this year no more Zbrush. But we will see then :).
Have ever tried 3DCoat?
No i havent, but i think it is paid ?:)
@@SpeedChar it is... it's about 1/3 of the price of ZBrush if I recall correctly and is more of a toolbox of 3D stuff ... more like Blender in that sense. But the sculpting is pretty cool as it has a voxel mode and can manage high poly counts.
I'm just urious why you don't use dyntopo(dynamic topology..like sculptris...)? you can easily achieve extreme detail using dynamic topology...
because there is simply no need, there is no extreme detail level to most of his sculpts.
I also don't like it, it's messy and hard to clean up
Yeah it is messy, laggy, and i very rarely use it in Zbrush too :).
@@SpeedChar no it isn't??? what?? maybe it's just different and not what your used to...I understand that...but it is efficient.
@@Shige2213 no, you're just doing it wrong....it takes some time to get to grips with it.
@@nowherebrain whatever floats your boat
