well, bloody hell, that tut was probably the best I've seen; I'am about 6 months of fiddling with Blender (nothing serious) and mainly use it to hack off bits from 1 stl so I can print a different arm and physicaly glue it on for a different pose...Man, you just opened Pandora's stl box! Brilliant
@@ArtisansofVaul NOT really reposing... more of just WARPING ARM positions , Better off with Zbrush and you never loose volume or warp the stl, @MayaArms
Bruh. This is so much better than rigging. I spent so much time rigging this rat I had sculpted so I can have different poses now I can just do this. You're the man!
I had no idea this could be done! This will definitely help add variety when you want to make large armies/warbands without identical poses! Thanks so much! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Every single time I'm struggling to do something in Blender there's a video of yours from 7 months ago with the perfect solution to my problem Never change, mate Cheers
I've been making miniatures in blender for 4 years, and I didn't know you can use the pose brush with face sets for better results, and the kinematic trick is awesome! thank you very much
No problem. I really think this method doesn't get covered enough. I can see why as it isn't as useful for animation but for miniatures is so much more accessible and the workflow is much either.
same boat here. had no idea that the face sets feature was there. and my jaw dropped when he showed there was IK too. I always hated the pose brush because it never did what i wanted hahahaha
I gave up blender years ago specifically because of how difficult it was to suitably rig a body to a skeleton. I knew there was a better way, but I knew I didn't know how to find out. Thank you so much!
Really helpful, clear and concise tutorial. Blender really is crazy powerful. I'm just starting to get going with the basics and this was just what I needed, thank you.
@@TheGunnarRoxen My pleasure, glad everything was easy to understand. I'm going to be doing some Blender Basics videos starting in the New Year. Some of the videos are already up on the Patreon as everything is there a week early.
@leootp22 Blender is awesome. Interestingly it seems to do some things VERY EFFECTIVELY if you know some simple tricks but some things that seem like they should be simple aren't always thag easy. But this is a great way to try it out for sure!
jaw on the floor here. I've been modeling for decades, and changing poses just by ...well, doing this manually, effectively. so, so much easier this way.
If you haven't used Blender before the navigation will take a bit of getting used to but I think this is a very honest representation of what it can do. Let us know how you get on!
Holy crap dude, you're the very first tutorial I've watched for Blender that actually has clicked. Thank you so much! I'm subscribed now, and will share your videos as much as possible!
As somebody who has worked in 3D modeling for years, the fact that you waited until the end to go over the lasso tool and seam smoothing got my blood pressure REAL high. Great tutorial tho. Digital kitbashing should really be more widespread in the broader 3D community.
😂 I went over them last as they seem to be something that is easier to get wrong during selection (as you can hit other elements of the mesh) so I wanted to go through the method that is less likely to cause issues first.
Amazing! I can't believe this is a thing you can just do in Blender with a brush! Really clear and concise video. Straight to the point. Thank you for sharing this!
@@ArtisansofVaul worked great on the first figure, now i cant get it to work on a second figure. Everything up to the initializing the UV seam worked, but the pose tool just wont move anything!
Wow. Im just getting into WH and am gonna start looking into kitbashing and this is the best thing ive seen for making some of those crazy model's for cusotms... Thank you. Clear and Concise. This is how all tutorials should go
This is such a great video! I've been using blender for ages and never knew about this, I've been posing my minis with rigging all this time. This is gonna be a life saver
Wow! One of the best Blender tutorials covering a feature I've seen! I've been working with blender for about 5 years now and even though i rarely need to sculpt, the pose brush has always been a mystery to me. This video changed that, so thanks a lot!
Really brilliant tutorial. You covered all necessary information without wasting time and it's really well delivered. Keep it up! You now have a new subscriber 🎉
@@ArtisansofVaul No problem! I tried it last night and it worked great! You have definitely gained me as a subscriber! Thanks again, and please keep up the great work!
Been trying to reuse previously sculpted limbs to make my work a bit more time efficient recently. Perfect timing to see this video because it's a lot quicker than all the other methods I've tried for tweaking posing to avoid obvious repetition. Keep up the great work!
This was so awesome to see. I havent done any 3d modelling since I dabbled as a teenager and have been on the threshold of taking up 3d printing. Seeing how doable this is with existing files was so cool. Thank you!
Awesome. Thanks for this. I took a 3d class about a year ago or more but couldnt really figure out proper rigging (at least for more complex pieces) without tons of issues. Definitely gonna give this a try with some free statue figures ive got saved on my computer
Great video, I do a lot of printing and often think I’d like to change a few poses here and there, but I find blender almost a different language, this is the best video I’ve seen to help people use it better
Blender is pretty complex because there is just SO much to it. I think this is a great tool to dip your toe in as you can either start with this and try some other things in Blender too or just do this and export the created pose to another program you're more comfortable with.
FUUUUUUUK. Why didn’t you release this months ago? Omg all the time spent rigging. Oh well I learned a lot about rigging and weights. Thanks for the video and saving me more time and teaching all of us something new on blender.
Thanks so much. Learning how to rig is a good use of time, if you have a model in a T or A pose its often the better method, especially using rigify (that's the next video).
@@ArtisansofVaul yup i can rig a lot of stuff now but i still have more to learn. yeah T and A pose are so easy to rig and add weights or using rigify makes it even easier. i look forward to your upcoming video so i can learn more and get better at it. while also being annoyed that id didnt know an easier way to do things
I never worked with blender as I'm more of a parametric CAD guy, but that looks so easy, that even I can do it. Thanks for that nice tutorial! Definatly going to use that if I find a model I want to repose.
Thousand thanks for taking the time and effort of making these videos and sharing Your knowledge... This is "wild", Blender is such a literal "Swiss Army Knife" of tools and techniques that it's impossible to know even a small fraction of all You can do with it. And this "technique" is imho far from only for people "working" with STLs but rather something every "3D generalist" should have "in their virtual tool belt". Best regards.
Thanks, this is one of the best how to videos out there, even I have finally figured out how to use it to change the pose of the figures I use in my model cars. Thank you very much :)
What a fantastic tutorial. Very informative, great explanations of keystrokes/menus, but still relatively concise. Definitely subscribing to your channel mate.
WOW, I use the pose tool often in my own work but i have never thought about reposing other minis.. this is a game changer. You opened up so many possibilities!! thank you as always!!
I hope you will see this after a couple months. I found this video and wanted to give it a try. I have some of OnePageRules 3D print models and they do have the unfortunate issue of limited poses. Even though they offer split parts, the parts are designed to only go together one way. Note I am 100% brand new to Blender and have no experience with it elsewise, so the problem I describe below may be easy for someone used to Blender, but not to me, and I apologize for that. I took one model's "combined" file (the model fully assembled in one STL) and threw it into Blender and noticed that when I go to Sculpt mode, and "Face Sets->Initialize Face Sets->by UV Seam" (notably without making any further changes after importing the STL file), Blender recognizes the separate pieces as if I had input the model piece by piece. Most notably, the arm, as I was trying to do exactly what you did in this video. This was true for multiple files across multiple army sets. In object mode, Blender sees the whole model as a single object, and I can manipulate it as such (move, rotate, etc). When I go to sculpt mode, UV Seam, and select the pose brush, I'm now not able to select "Rotation origin" by Face Sets, then rotate at the shoulders. As Blender sees it as a separate part, the rotation point is seen as the center of the "arm object", or around the elbow, and therefore when rotated, it separates the shoulder from the body. Amusingly, despite the two parts being entirely separate, when I switch back to object mode, Blender still sees it as one single object. I am able to create a seam, just as you did, around the elbow, and that works fine, though limits my poseability. Is there a way to combine the object so, before creating my own UV seams, it sees the object as one single, contiguous piece so that I can then create the seam at the shoulder? I have tried importing the file into Lychee and re-exporting, I have tried importing the individual parts into Microsoft 3D Builder and exporting as a single piece. None make any difference and Blender continues to identify the separate pieces. If you have a separate video on this, a link to that would be ideal. Thank you.
😁 So glad to gave inspired you to give Blender a try, even if its just for this technique bur hopefully you'll stay for more. Always feel free to come back and ask if you're unsure about anything. I know Blender can be intimidating as it has just so much you can do.
This is exactly what I needed! I've recently just learned about separating loose parts for kitbashing. Adding this to my arsenal will make my kitbashes better yet. Thanks so much!
This is so cool. I have always struggled with rigging and it is no different in Blender, though most of what I do these days is for printing rather than game models, and this is the perfect way to get good pose control without all of the fuss of rigging for things that don't really need it.
I love sculpting and making rendered scenes of characters or creatures, this is so helpful and exactly what I need, thank you. Retopology and rigging is so time consuming and useless for just making still images as this is so much quicker
That's pretty cool, I've been reposing models in Blender for a while, but not using this method. One thing that I've found reasonably easy is to rig the model with bones, but only rig the parts you want to move (so if you only want to move a shoulder and elbow, you only need to add maybe 3 bones) and use the automatic weights. But on some models that doesn't work well, depends whether the automatic weights can figure out what you're trying to do.
Yeah, the automatic weights work best with quads from what I have tried and Blender will normally have a good go but it wont always be perfect. Thats why I find this method pretty handy.
Absolutely fantastic, though this was possible but no idea it was that quick and easy when you know what you’re doing. I’ll say it again, I need to learn blender!
If anyone is like me, and can't find the options and menu items being used... check your version of Blender. Almost everything looked and acted the same, but there was not 'face sets' option when I was in the sculpting tool. Upgraded to most recent version, and it's there. I guess this is a fairly recent feature.
this ia exactly what i was looking for. i have some stl's of some old minis. but since they are only scans from old metal minis, they are a bit bent and warped. with this i can bring them back in shape. thx!
well, bloody hell, that tut was probably the best I've seen; I'am about 6 months of fiddling with Blender (nothing serious) and mainly use it to hack off bits from 1 stl so I can print a different arm and physicaly glue it on for a different pose...Man, you just opened Pandora's stl box!

rigging will save you more time, especially considering that rigging isn't even difficult.

@@ArtisansofVaul NOT really reposing... more of just WARPING ARM positions , Better off with Zbrush and you never loose volume or warp the stl, @MayaArms

Thanks Legion! There are some positives to rigging but I would say a lot of the time I use this or the Machin3 Tools trick depending on the project.

Game changing. Love this tutorial!
Thanks Mike 👌🏼
Buddy your videos is amazing! This is just what i was looking for! Thank you for creating this great content!
Thanks so much 😁 Its always great to know its going to help out.
That's pretty cool, I've been reposing models in Blender for a while, but not using this method. One thing that I've found reasonably easy is to rig the model with bones, but only rig the parts you want to move (so if you only want to move a shoulder and elbow, you only need to add maybe 3 bones) and use the automatic weights. But on some models that doesn't work well, depends whether the automatic weights can figure out what you're trying to do.
Yeah, the automatic weights work best with quads from what I have tried and Blender will normally have a good go but it wont always be perfect. Thats why I find this method pretty handy.
I like this 3ds Max look (clay + blue outline) ! ^^
@Taumisch Thanks. I've got a video on setting it up here if its of any interest: ruclips.net/video/orqt8Fw7q8o/видео.html
Thank you soo much for this vid, need to try it out. This opens a ton of possibilities.
10/10 would watch again 😜
Haha. Cheers man. You're right it really does, hope you enjoy what you can make with it!
This is such a helpful tutorial! Gonna have to try this out!
Let us know how it goes! 😁👍🏻
Amazing tutorial. This is wonderful for people who are intimidated by Blender
Thanks. I think this is a really good Blender starting point as it doesn't require the huge amount of functions some other tasks do
WOW, very cool video man!!!
Thank you!!!
@@slakjawnotsayin5451 My pleasure 😁😁😁
I remember trying somthing like this a few years ago.
I completely butchered it.
Great video.
Hopefully this will give you some more success 👍🏻
This is absolutely amazing as a tutorial. Thank you so much
Thanks Talosh 😁👍🏻
You have changed everything!
😁
Omg is this NEW ???? saved and going to test this tonight wow !!
Not new but I think its really lacking videos on it and showing its use
Amazing stuff. Thanks for taking the time to make this.
My pleasure 😁😁😁
This is a blessing and a curse. Fantastic tip, I'm really glad it was suggested to me.
@lordeng1ish 😁Great to hear its giung to be helpful. Hopefully not too much of a curse 😅
@@ArtisansofVaul Nah, by curse I mean infinite pose-ability on what I thought was mostly static models.
@@lordeng1ish Haha. It does start eating into time when you realise you can do this 😅
thanks a lot for the video, I didn't knew how to do it until now
😁👍🏻
You make it sound easy. I'll give Blender a shot (again).
Don't get me wrong, Blender can be quite a lot (especially when starting out) but I do think (even if it's just used for this tool) it's worth having.
Absolutely fantastic, though this was possible but no idea it was that quick and easy when you know what you’re doing. I’ll say it again, I need to learn blender!
Yeah, its nice that this method is pretty easy to follow without much thats too in depth and its a pretty simple stage by stage process.
🤯 seriously just blew my mind with this one. I've been doing it so so SOOOOO much harder than this.
@HeadCannonPrime 😁Great to be able to help. Hopefully it's going to save you some time 👍🏻😁
This is a great tutorial. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Thanks so much Yolo! 😁👍
Perfect timing!
Just got some Tyranid Models, which I thought could use some variety in their poses! :D
Great use for it! 👌🏼
just what i need..... thanks, great tutorial well and easy explain... this is gold.
Thanks so much!
You sir, just made my day! This is great, and will help me so much in the future!
😁 Glad it's going to be useful
If anyone is like me, and can't find the options and menu items being used... check your version of Blender. Almost everything looked and acted the same, but there was not 'face sets' option when I was in the sculpting tool. Upgraded to most recent version, and it's there. I guess this is a fairly recent feature.
Good tip 👌🏼 Thanks so much!
this ia exactly what i was looking for. i have some stl's of some old minis. but since they are only scans from old metal minis, they are a bit bent and warped. with this i can bring them back in shape. thx!
@manuellaslo1282 😁👌🏼 Great to hear. Glad it's going to help out and that's a great use for this 👍🏻
