Not sure if you know it, but you’re laying the groundwork for a new generation of artists with these videos. I applaud you for pushing these out. A few years late for my journey but I’m not complaining. You still inspire me with how well you go from loose drawing to refined finish. I still can’t do this as well, especially being fixated on the warp/deform tools. But hey. I’m sure each person uses each software to their liking eh? ;)
I’m working on one currently. On that note I believe mechnuggets already has one on their platform already. Pretty sure it’s in Medium, but the same principles apply. There’s some differences of course since the softwares are inherently different but they’re the same package at their roots/foundations. His video is worth a watch there if you have a subscription.
This stuff is a dream come true. Especially with the Painter workflow. I hope you show how you would work one of these thumbs up to a more polish. And yes, this is Gnomon level concepting and workflow. I'm going to look for stager as well. What gets me is the low poly export is nice enough to retop in Maya or Zbrush. And I'm finally getting that over all heavy weight mech feel.
I love these info packed videos. It's like getting a master class in small digestible chunks. And this one is such a great way to practice and get better. I am so inspired by these! Thank you!
@@MechNuggets I saw the video link in another comment about pinning the desktop but this makes more sense now. I didn't really like the workflow of importing images into Modeler. I think this will be better. Thank you!
Thanks to you, Jama and Finnian I had the balls to just jump into VR and give it a try (felt in love with it immediatly and also wanted to through up cuz I didnt take breaks lol), this sketchy workflow is amazing, I started using it when accidentally saw Momo sketching with lines inside Medium for organic characters, eye opening shit right there
yeah, this is maybe the greatest thing about VR sculpting, in my opinion... have you tried playing with the lights so you can focus more on the silhouette of the sketch?
Loving all the videos, thanks for taking the time to share! - had a small question : how would you recommend having using refs with Modeler? You mentionned Miro quickly in this video, but how do you "look at it" while sculpting? Do you just.. remove our headset and look at your PC screens? - Thanks!
Oh good question, you can pin a desktop window in VR. You'll be able to see whatever is on your monitor, control it, etc. ruclips.net/video/XQT8TQT2jzc/видео.htmlsi=5VeXWgvtAtmGZwD6&t=27
I just bougth a Quest3 becuse of your videos, I have done a first test and I love it but its hard to get use to it, I have very little control, I can only make potatoes XD any advise for new VR artists? i feel like I need to learn how to move again.
I kind of think it's easier to do a little bit of hardsurface in desktop mode first, you get to know the program, tools, features, how to keep a clean file. Just make some simple things and then move to VR once you're comfy with it.
Would honestly love to see a "I'm new as fk to Modeler" video from you explaining some basic-level stuff. Nothing mega extensive (imo), I've got a grasp on most of the basics, but there are a few things I've noticed with the way you work that I'm curious about that I've not seen many other tutorials covering.
@@StormShadowGFX-go5xq they have a feature for that. You sketch a rough chair and it searches for a database of chairs. Not AI yet and I honestly hope they do not invert time and money into that crap.
@@aledmb I feel you, I just don't see it not happening. I stopped doing art for movies a long time ago. And we never thought there would be a "make art button" I've seen AI art being used in news papers. And all over artstation.
@StormShadowGFX-go5xq yeah, I can't wait to see what AI will do for artists in terms of new tools and workflows, but generative AI is just bad in every way you look at it. Anyway, I agree with you that it will happen whether we want it or not.

I'm studying VR sculpting, and nothing has been as helpful as your videos. Thank you so much for always uploading great content!

Really appreciate that, means a lot
@ inspires, educates, and demonstrates. Keep at it man. 😎
WOOT WOOT! You rock! I think it's time for GNOMON video :-)

Im using Pureref on my desktop and Im pinning my desktop window in VR. Whenever Im looking up in videos, thats what Im looking at.

Yes the Momo technique is even sketchier I love it, might have to share his secrets too in an upcoming video 😆
@@MechNuggets "Exposing Momo 🗿" lol
Also, would be great to see a quick breakdown of how to instance multiple limbs, what the best way to group layers ect,
Yeah thats stuff is pretty confusing 😅 i can try my best to explain
@@MechNuggets That'd be great, I appreciate you sharing your flow, very fun to watch
I can't thank you enough for this.
YOOOOOO
Another brilliant video

Iv done it before but I prefer to see things clearly so u can also see surface details, its a good exercise tho! 👍

Just make sure the steady option is on when you work. Apart from that its just practice. Keep it up, it'll get easier as you go.

@@Xoliul I disagree😅Id say jump into VR right away, but everybody learns differently 👍
How much time do you spend in VR each day? Do you ever take your design from VR further, in Max/Maya/Blender?
Realistically 4-6h. I don't really clean up sculpts elsewhere, I just go straight to textures and rendering usually.
When I make a new layer, it will darken the unactive layers, doesnt seem to be the case in your scenes? What setting am i not seeing?
Go Edit>Preferences>Editor>De-emphasize unfocused objects - off
@@MechNuggets Cheers mate!
@@MechNuggets damn i had no idea it was possible to turn it off, awesome :D!
How are you quickly copying/drag-copying selected pieces of geo?

Imagine if adobe added AI to this program so it can take your ruff sketch and make it real, and spit out a .obj file and .stl.
@@StormShadowGFX-go5xq they have a feature for that. You sketch a rough chair and it searches for a database of chairs. Not AI yet and I honestly hope they do not invert time and money into that crap.
Yeah @aledmb is right there is a feature like that in Modeler where you can replace your sketchy model with a model from their database.
