Thank you! I don't currently have one, but I will make a real time tutorial at some point :)

Thanks! For me it's usually as a freelancer through some representation like an outsourcing studio. I assume there are some like that in the programming industry. Hope that helps

Yes, not using a basemesh is really only sensible as an exercise :)

Hi! Yes, it's the very first in the list standard grey matcap preset (basic_1.exr)

@@lolpoly3d thanks man. I really liked your result as it seems. Hand painted and non photorealistic like shading and colors. I am trying to sculpt it myself cause you inspired me. Keep it up

Hi! That's usually not the most efficient approach nowadays. Sometimes I might make parts of a character with box modeling if it'd be faster, but that's relatively rare.

Thank you! For now my suggestion is to keep at it with Zbrush, once you are used to it it will expand what you can do (and how quickly). I like to use both to the strength of each.

I am having tons of fun thank you I'll contine! Sculpting and pushing polygons feel different in Zbrush, more responsive or something maybe as someone switching from one to another you felt that too what is that in your opinion?@@lolpoly3d

I was talking about the curves specifically, which are more intuitive, however overall Zbrush is definitely more streamlined and efficient for sculpting (in my opinion at least). People love to rip on Zbrush's interface for its unconventional structure, but it's actually carefully developed to be as fast and comfortable as possible for the specific purpose of sculpting, which is what really matters. About the clay strips brush - I know what you mean. It's strange, I can't quite put my finger on why, but in Blender it just doesn't behave the way I expect it to, so I don't use it as much as I do in Zbrush, where it's probably my most used brush. The only thing I do to it is enable backface masking, but I'm guessing you probably already knew to do that.

@@lolpoly3d zbrush ui is good when you used to it , but for newcomers it’s a mess. I have played with brush sitting (normal radius, stroke, fall of) but no matter what I do nothing seems to work, maybe it’s something in the brush code.

Hi! Sure, do you mean the custom blue / red colors I have for vertices and faces in edit mode?

@@lolpoly3d yes

@@user-wm7ck7bh5dI uploaded it here: file.io/LDlki4pY8Jrb

That's a good idea, thanks!

Thank you! In the density brush settings at the top of the viewport, in the last dropdown menu Curve Shape, you will find checkboxes to interpolate length, shape and point count. I usually keep all of them turned on.

Ps that sculptlayer addon is pretty expensive addon. Yet very powerful and usefull Edit Nevermind, it selected a studio 10 seat as default. Single license is $22

Hi! That detail in 13:58 is still only geometry, which is achieved by deforming the mesh using the alpha stamp texture to tell it what vertices to move up. This is why we need the mesh to be so dense at 16million polys, so it can hold that sort of detail. The UV coordinates stay unchanged with subdivision, but we are not using them here. They are only relevant after baking down in Substance. And about stretching, the proportions ofc still aren't that different from the starting point, it's still a human head, so that's not much of an issue here. Also, you'll notice at the very beginning where I show the checkerbox texture on the basemesh there is already some stretching. This is actually common practice in order to get a larger texel density on the face which is the most important. It doesn't matter that there is a bit of stretching because it makes little difference when texturing in 3D space with something like Substance. If were texturing in 2D in, say, photoshop, then that would be a huge pain. But nobody does that anymore :)

@@lolpoly3d thanks for the reply. Was checking out that sculpt layer addon. Really curious how that works. I thought he was simply smacking on another multires, apparently or I guess , he is actually storing all the data and some how applying it.

Thank you! Here's what I did: 1. While in sculpt mode, show only the lower jaw using the face set by pressing H while the mouse is over it 2.Mask it by pressing A - mask all 3. Unhide the entire mesh with alt-H 4. Press A again - invert mask, so now only the jaw is unmasked. I think I also smoothed the mask (again from the A pie menu) 5. Place the 3D cursor on the back of the jaw with Shift+Right click, then at the top middle of the screen, choose the cursor as your transform pivot 6. Rotate the jaw down using the rotate tool. In Sculpt mode the rotate tool is at the very bottom, after all the different brushes, so you will probably need to scroll down to see it. 7. Press A again and Unmask all. Then use grab and smooth brush to fix up any ugly deformation

@@lolpoly3d Great! Thanks so much!
