#b3d #sculpting #tutorial
For anyone following this tutorial in 2022 and beyond, the new shortcut to switch to different objects while in Sculpt mode or in Edit mode (mentioned at 14:30 in the video) is *Alt + Q.*
And it's now enabled by default; you don't have to go into preferences to turn it on.
Thanks for the update, Strave!
@@cgboost And thank *you* for the phenomenal sculpting tutorial! I really wish more tutorials on RUclips were this comprehensive; even if I can't master every single part of the workflow presented here, it's incredibly helpful to see all the various tools and techniques used and get a grasp on what parts I need to work on to improve myself. And I suspect that if I sign up on the CGBoost website, I'll find more courses and tutorials that can help me with that!
By the way, do you know how long it took to sculpt and pose this guy? I'm currently working at about a 20:1 ratio of my time spent sculpting compared to time elapsed in the video. But I'm determined to get through it!
@@StraveTube The video is skipping over a bit and heavily sped up at other times so it would be hard to guage how fast you may be in comparison. I wouldn't worry about it though as speed is achieved through time and experience. Keep at it and you'll get there :)
~ Daniel
@@cgboost I will! Thank you again!
And for people using industry standard shift-D will do the trick i think.
I've done donut & apples now, time to upgrade my skills!
Good luck!!! And hows ur progress??
ye man hows progress
Guys I think he died from the computer explode because of rendering
😭😰
Lol you guys, progress is good, but nowhere near Zach's level. I'll keep working on it.
For Blender 3.0 users who getting stuck around 14:54, press "Alt+q" when the mouse is on your object.
Thank you so much, this was driving me crazy.
how he deletes the sphere in 6:30 doesn't work for me.
Thank you ♥
@@marcopirrotta2791 you have to select delete in the tool settings
As a Blender newbie with a programming background that Pose brush is just mindblowing black magic.
true
That lassto trim start was another level :D
The best tutorial on the internet, period.
I think this is the most comprehensive intermediate/advanced tutorial on sculpting that I have ever seen! Thank you so much!! it is amazing!
No. YOURE amazing
@@lukewilliams7020 loool
I agree, I am 15 minutes in and I am already in awe of how awesome and detailed this tutorial is. I got to learn a lot of hidden tools and tricks.
@@lukewilliams7020ررر
.....bر؟رر..? B
,!,?!?,.bbررر؛،؛
Just glancing at the title I thought for sure this was just an ad for a paid course. Now that I see how great the content is I almost think it should have been! So many thanks for sharing
Even when you think you know Blender pretty well, there's always so much more stuff to learn.
Wow, I can't believe what a good job the Autoremesher does! That's *almost* production ready. Give it another generation or two and AI will be doing our retopo for us.
while some people may say that removes alot of jobs , it just removes tedious jobs and gives smaller teams a better chance to a full blown product with less funding
Why on earth did I learn to retopology when you have such a fine Autoremesher there! I think it is suited for animation-ready and game-ready assets.
@@goku21youtub It was only a generation ago people were saying this was nowhere near the stage of being production ready, it's amazing how fast this tech has come along and i say it allows time to be spent on more "engaging" work such as animation and texturing (imo anyway) and people shouldnt really shouldnt complain in this case. Retopo has always been a major mood killer for me, i just fail miserably at keeping motivated doing it - Edit; Holy hell i spoke too soon that quad remesher addon is simply jaw dropping! Time to play around with this bad boy.
@@Skyflairl2p same with rendering .. i remember where i could just render a small fraction off 50x50px to check on materials and in the end let luck decide , now we have almost realtime representation in seconds in almost any renderer
As someone that started Blender a year ago, I'm surprised we don't already have a tool to retopo automatically. I don't think it's that hard to create, especially now with AI. In the next three years I guess it's something that should be part of Blender.
Aloha Zach. This is a fantastic overview of a sculpting workflow. I purchased your original sculpting course when it first came out but never finished, life has a way of getting in the way. This video plus hearing you are updating the course is the fire I needed to get back at it. Mahalo.
Your sculpting tutorials are awesome, man! I always learn something new, and they're great to watch when I need to remember stuff that I sometimes forget.
This tutorial is pure gold. I like the level and speed you are using. Really focusing on what is of interest. Excellent work!
HOLYYYY!!!! I was literally struggling with sculpting (not the tools, but getting stuff to look decent). This came at the right time!
I REALLY needed this to finish a sculpt I've been stuck on. Thank you so much for putting this out.
Thank you. I've seen so many videos about what sculpt tools 'do', but seeing how to use them start to finish really helps.
This reminds me so much of Spore's character creator. I love the tutorial, I just bought a 3D printer to try and make my own miniatures and with tutorials like these I feel like I can pull off making my own miniatures.
Not only is this video the absolute most amazing blender sculpting tutorial, the comment section is full of amazing advise and alternatives as well. This video is godsend.
this shit is lit
Hey, I haven't been blendering in a while and I have to say, your skills and your tutorials have moved to the next level over the past year. Nicely done and thanks for the excelent tut!
Awesome tutorial. I really like your combination of detailed explanations and the time lapse parts. And for someone who used the sculpt mode the last time maybe one or two years ago, it is incredible to see how many helpful features where added to Blender
the familar kind of Zach. i've learned all blender-basics fom this amazing tutor!
Alternative method for resizing multiple objects simultaneously:
1. Apply the transformations for all objects you wish to scale.
2. Add an empty, select all the objects, and parent them to the empty
3. Scale the empty to your liking. Select the child objects, press Alt+P, and choose Clear And Keep Transform
4. Apply scale and you're done.
Thank you so much for this. I've learned so much from this single video. really appreciate how clear your explanation and direction is.
That came out just in time to push me to try to finish a sculpt I put aside. Thanks again for quality content!
Amazing tutorial, I learned lots of new stuff from it, even though I am not completely new to Blender or sculpting.
I wish I knew about using line projection tool to create flat surfaces or using face sets to create new geometry in my past projects.
I'd love to see a video about manual retopology.
Simply amazing.. I've always been a major fan of your work Zach, and cant thank you enough for this extremely valuable resource. I've paid hundreds of dollars for nearly 50 hours worth of sculpting courses, but this one hour long video was not only more motivating - It also contains ALL the good information neatly packed and perfectly paced. Thank you!
Ps, would you ever do a texturing tutorial following this same creature to complete the workflow? Curious how you go about doing so.
Thanks so much for the providing this kind of high quality content for the community!! Big love from 🇯🇵
Man, blender has so many new and awesome tools! Thanks for showcasing them and making it easy to follow along! 😁👍
You don't know how much this helps. I was a zbrush sculpter, and was unable to find similar features in blender. But this tutorial helped me a lot. Thank You very very much.
I just wanna be real, I have wanted to create 3D models and my own characters since I was a little boy and I thought id never be able to do it, but your youtube videos are a blessing and really do help, thank you. Genuinely made my dream come true, and I can't wait to be on your level of skill! keep up the good work and don't stop!
Excellent video Zach, cover almost everything in a swift and efficient way.
im like 25 mins in right now, and the amount of new knowledge you've taught me so far is MINDBLOWING, thank you so much, this is probably one of the best tutorials on sculpting ive watched so far!
Best full workflow I have seen.
Fantastic workflow, great work Zach.
this is probably the best blender tutorial for character creation ive seen
true
Probably one of the most valuable (densely packed with useful information) videos about modeling I've seen in a long time. Thanks for making it!
Great as always Zack! I always learn a trick or two from your videos. This lasso trim trick is what I was looking for :)
this whole retopo and posing section is 1000% a problem I've been trying to solve for WEEKS. thank you for this Zach!!!
Zach this is one tutorial dedicated to sculpting but is crazy the amount of stuff about Blender that we can learn only with this specific one. WOW!! thank you very much man.
This video is better than 3 of my paid courses. Short, informative, USEUFULL. Can't wait for new sculpitng course.
Zach is back! Hope this means a general update of the CG Boost sculpt course.
Yes, as I mentioned in the video, I'm currently updating the course and the first updated chapters are already up. However, we are not updating the course on Gumroad or Udemy. If you want to get the update, and you bought the course there, simply get in touch with us, and you can get the free update on our platform: cgboost.com/support/
I rarely watch blender tutorials these days but this one was genuinely a treat to watch, amazing work! Also, that retopo mesh is INSANE. I can't believe the mesh came out that good, wow
Thank you kindly! I'm glad you enjoyed it !
I really love this workflow, Zach, thank you so much!
Absolutely great video! I've learned sculpting thanks to one of Zach's old videos and I'm really happy to finally see the updated version of that :)
Also looks like the workflow now is much better, especially for details part :) Right now it's nearly impossible to handle super high details if you use dyntopo...
very inspiring way of sculpting!
Anybody else gonna end up watching this a few times? just me?
Only a few! Pfff
a few dozen times, sure
Yup, for sure!
*raises hand ✌
As soon as I can pick my jaw up off of the floor...
This is the best sculpting tutorial I have ever watched! Thanks man!
I have been searching for an intermediate blender sculpting tutorial for so long and this fit the bill perfectly!!! Thank you!
Continuously amazed by the generosity of channels like this on RUclips, offering training and knowledge for free. This is what makes this platform worthwhile. Thanks for this video, much appreciated!
i cannot believe i have FREE access to this level of content, thank you so much :)
The best all in one video tutorial on sculpting! Learnt everything I needed to know by just watching this video.
one of the best sculpting tutorials around, thank you!
wow, this was a whole 50 minute tutorial i sat through and fully enjoyed, wow. it's decently paced and very fat-cut, imo, so it's great to listen to while still only talking about relevant points without extra fluff. good design is usually invisible, i just wanna let you know that the work you put into this tut pays off pedagogically; i'm definitely recommending this tutorial to people who want to get into scupting
Thank you for nice words.
~Egon
Thanks a lot! ~Zach
Zachhhh❤️❤️❤️ .....
Thank you so much men, this video is one of the most importants to the Blender community!!!
This tutorial is amazing, you're covering so useful parts, thanks!
if you get weird results when trying to sculpt the mirrored parts around 15:00, don't forget to NOT enable Clipping in the modifier, otherwise it will mess with your mesh.
When you are gonna release the low poly animation course. I have been waiting forever... :'(
The best Blender Sculpting video to date...by far! Thank you.
how do you adjust the thickness of the lasso trim? it isnt influenced by the brush size nor strength. Use Cursor for Depth is enabled
Hero
Show I have a question about why the thicknesses of the various shapes are different. Are you manually changing the shapes during creation and if so by what means or is this random?
I'm doing my very first sculpting project from this video! You're just that good of a teacher!
Absolutely incredible! So much information clearly presented in less than an hour. Thank you so much!
dude, this is the best sculpting tutorial, period. Dang, it's time to try sculpting, finally :D
PS: What are main differences between multi-res/remesher vs say dyntopo work flow? what's better for a beginner?
It is more about workflow than anything else. Dyntopo is good when searching for shapes as it add new geometry to the model and details only where needed. Multires is more useful once you know your shapes for further work. But some artist takes different approach.
~Egon
11 MILLION polys!!!
Fully modeled
@@JacobKinsley Yeah, down to the texture being in geometry instead of textures!
My CPU would cry if I tried this.
Then you need to know about Zbrush, I have some scenes with more tan a 100 million polys and they run smooth
@@SVI_graphics On what platform? Don't imagine even a dual Xeon could handle that much without severely bogging down.
Dude thank you so much for this video. i was stuck trying to join multiple ,meshes together and remesh them to the point it made me cry from frustration. This made it so much clear, can't wait to go back to my project.
Thank you so much for that awesome tutorial! So clear and full of knowledge. CGboost you are the best!
When I try to use the lasso tool as demonstrated in the video, the created geometry becomes extremely thin (2d) regardless of brush size. Do you have any idea of why?
Hey, what Blender version are you using? "Use Cursor for Depth" is enabled?
@@cgboost 2.93.0, and I have Cursor for Depth selected, if I overlap the sphere it works, and sometimes it works fine a little afterwards, but other times it is flat as a pancake and not reliable enough to model with.
I´m still trying to sculpt a cube...
Thanks for this very comprehensive and complete tutorial, much appreciated!
Thank you for sharing your time and energy. This is a great tutorial.
29:55 i don't know why but i laughed for 5 minutes straight :)))
With this tutorial I found the solution to a big sculpting problem I had. Thank you wery much for this video!
This is an A grade tutorial right here!
Trying to make game assets and I have been starting to tinker with more organic stuff but its really difficult to get a good idea on how to sculpt but I think this is a great way to go about it. Will look into this when i got the time for sure! Nice!!! ^^
I learned more from this singular video then from 3 months of other sculpting videos, great stuff man!
This is the best Blender sculpting tutorial!!! Thank you so much!
The best tutorial I have -ever- seen. Doesn't matter what the tutorial was on, this beats them all.
Perfect, very well planned tutorial with lots of technics, thank you very much!
Suuuuhweet. You put out the most thorough yet easy to follow tutorials around 🙌
Ooh thank you so much for that, there were some really handy tips here. I really hope you're going to make a video tackling Retopology, since there are still some aspects I can't quite wrap my head around. Especiall when it comes to sharp changes within my sculpt, I always mess up my topology or it destroys the form of my original sculpt. Really interested what you will have in store for us, Zach! :D
As a complete newbie.i hav to say ur da best blender tutor ever.thank u
This is an amazing tutorial, thanks a lot!!! having the whole process explained like that makes it so easy to absorb. Blender Level Up Badge here.
Omg, besides the fact that everything is clear and not too fast and not too slow explained and at the same time shown, there are also handwritten subtitles for an hour .. It's wonderful
___
Oh, plus the microphone is good + no accent
I'm pretty familiar with sculpting, but I learned a decent amount from this.
I had to sign up for the academy, this was top notch stuff.
Thank you!
this video is incredible. I am very thankful for this and your channel as a whole.
This is exactly what I was interested in, thank you for your work.
This is an epic tutorial. Thank you so much, really saved my day!
Wow, for me this came at the right time. Thank you!
Great tutorial. Thank you, I'll refer to this as I practice sculpting.
Great way to share the tools and commands. A lot of tips and tricks in here!
All your tips for the skin details were exactly what i have looking for, thank you!
This is so helpful!! Thank you for your amazing work!! ☺️👏
amazing and unvaluable info in this tutorial!! thanks for this!!
Such a pleasure watching you work! It’s so inspiring to see how much you have evolved as an artist over the years. Thanks for another great tutorial! Keep being awesome!
Many thanks! 🥰
Thank you so much !
Amazing begginer sculpting tutorial...
This whole video was amazing!
