@@vizbits That's weird. I never had it stop working or abort a process. 🤔 I wonder if it's being used a lot for some reason and it's overloading their servers. That's totally a guess though....

@christopherwilliams3293 This isn't that sort of pen. It created curves so you can change the thickness in the normal way (int he curve data properties) or you can do some funky things with the drop-off for the ends in a similar way or using Geometry Nodes.

@@ArtisansofVaul Yeah, I'm aware of the grease pencil way, which that's what my AI tool told me about. But it would be nice if I can do those things with the regular curve pen. But, with that said, I just imported an image, lowered the opacity of that image, and I was able to trace that image with the very thin and black stroke without too much trouble. BTW, if anyone else runs across this comment, my AI tool said that I can change the theme in the settings, which would be away of changing the stroke color if having a black stroke pen on an image with black curves is too much to work with.

@Jayy8Bit The part at 13.25 talks about using bool tool. Admittedly I said "join" for using the boolean which wasn't the best choice of wording but all of the tools and controls being spoken about there are to complete a boolean.

@stefanosiclari totally an option but that can crear issues itself.

@@duncanmcdane388 Agree on it lacking character if you want something added to the head, not just an exact copy

Always happy to try out a new addon! And that sounds really handy.

@@ArtisansofVaul Great! Where can i send it to you?

@@filipnyberg8454 If you can find me on Instagram (same user name) its easiest to message there.

@@ArtisansofVaul great, I wrote you there

Thats a shame. I haven't had a bad result from the 4 I tried (though for one I did us the option to redo it once).

@Purpial Glad to have been able to help. I really want to emphasise that this is a video very much focused on my perspective. I can see Plasticity being great for a lot of uses, just not mine. Having more options under your belt for when designing can only be a good thing as well 👍🏻👌🏼

@@fundorinlive 🤣 ???

@Starflight_Miniatures Oh that's a great plan. I hadn't thought about that. Or between towers and then use wall builder somehow 🤔

This is where I think this is going go shine. Giving people a starting point who aren't sculptors but want to give something like this a try 👌🏼👍🏻

Thats great if you're happy to store or use that much quickly. Good tip! 👍

@@Arg0n01 good idea on the track pins.

Yeah. I think for many uses it isn't an issue but for what I do it's a pain.

@florianblonske hmm... That's odd, you shouldn't need to do anything as its not an animation. Did you have any modifiers on it?

I was thinking the same as it would be great to add some weight to the top "return" section of the tracks.

@dwcobb43 it can go anywhere you want. I just used Blender as its a program I normally use so it was pretty much my "default" 😏

@Malvisk That's annoying. It would be really cool if it could do animated characters like that. I'm guessing maybe it recognises it could be something that could lead them to copyright issues? That's totally a guess though.

My main goal is to upload various vintage gi joe character file card images and generate models of the character heads!

@@gridtac2911 you're correct. It now costs $5.

Haha. Thanks.

@surfimp I think it depends on the surface. If it was flat a boolean is good but specifically for non-flat edges I find this easiest/quickest.

@darrennew8211 Yeah, I'd assume so on the pi/2. Should have thought about that at the time 😅

@AnthonyHortin My pleasure Anthony. And as always thanks for taking the time to comment 😁👌🏼

@@FPChris I would normally make it a VDM instead. They are more effective in most instance as they can have overhangs.

@@n3onkn1ght Good call.

Hahaha. Someone else mentioned it can't work off of animated characters/cartoons. It just isn't designed for that purpose. But I do think that's hilarious, I'd love to see the result 😅😅😅

Thanks. I always wonder how much depth to go into for these (not being an expert myself) so knowing Im hitting around the right mark is really appreciated.

@ArtisansofVaul I think this was perfect. It demonstrates a practical effect, introducing the concepts, but is simple enough to understand so even I can do it :)

😁😁😁 I hope it serves you well and as always thanks for commenting Filamentio!

Hmmm.... I feel like I tried that and it didn't work but I will have to give it another go.

Good idea on the collection. I haven't tested to see how it will work on a collection as the context hull normally works on a single object bit if it works on the collection that would be great. 👍🏻

I'm always feeling that way, so you're very much not alone there 😁

Thanks Tomy.

👍I suspected that but couldn't find it confirmed so didnt want to say something potentially false in the video 😅

When you say it didn't happen you mean it didnt work? And what had you used HardOps and Boxcutter to do? Might need some more information here 😉

@@ArtisansofVaul The interaction/bug of the bevel with the hardops of duplicating the object when trying to change the number of vertices, and in the boxcutter the interaction of an object being duplicated when it has a cut and trying to change the number of vertices. I did the test and neither happened to me, I'm learning a lot from your videos thank you

I haven't. But there was also a relief sculpture maker which might do what you're looking for.

I think it depends on your definition of "sculpting", though I don't disagree on anything you have been said to be clear. If you mean creating something from scratch with a distinctive style I think you're right but in 3D design terms "sculpting" generally means the creation of an object and if that is mimicking something that already exists it seems to be getting pretty capable of doing so.

Having some way to change past actions (either through constraints or having "modifiers" is such a boon to workflows.

There's a potential to be. But I haven't seen it from any recordings of people using a laptop. But I would definetly pay attention to the specs required to run it which should be on the Revopoint website

@@Emtbtoday Thanks.

@@halfvader8015 why don't you enlighten us all....

@@ArtisansofVaul Because how much of actual 3d sculpting (as opposed to fooling around a bit as a hobby) involves doing *stuff that already exists/can be taken directly from a photo*? That's right. I mean it's pretty damn simple and everyone here (whom I'm guessing have nothing to do with games filmmaking and so on) missed such a basic thing by a country mile. Including, hilariously, you/the YTer... but there it is, the all-encompassing, tarring everything with the same brush/broad strokes "Killed 3d sculpting"?!!! 😂Clickbait sure, but you weren't just making a joke. As I said, speculation like that is ludicrous. I know you conceded you mainly do hard surface and by the same token, I can see you've got a lot of cool Blender vids. But man, you didn't stop for a second to think that the second you want to do anything remotely creative or even just clean up that useless head (it's hard to tell if you were just being disingenuous or truly don't know how AI guesses at things like the back of the head), it all goes out the window. As the saying goes, you can get 90% of the way in 10% of the time with cg, but the last 10% takes 90% of the time... so no. It's improving at a rate of knots, but won't kill 3d sculpting. Crazytown.

@@MrJaccojenkins I can totally believe it.

@Emtbtoday I'd be happy to take a look but if it's a paid for file the creator is unlikely to want to to be sent to someone for free.... Thought it's disappointing if it hasn't been made correctly. Is it meant for 3D printing?

@Emtbtoday Annoyingly it seems to be a nightmare to find. It still works with Windows as far as I can tell and up until about a month ago I could find it online but I haven't looked since then. If they have axed it permanently that would be a MASSIVE shame.

I think its still here: apps.microsoft.com/detail/9wzdncrfj3t6?hl=en-us&gl=PH Let me know if there's an issue though

@@NeonKix I agree wholeheartedly

😁 Thanks. Happy you help.

Yeah I've been really impressed by the glue.

I haven't tried that before. Well before this I havent needed to. Do you find it works well? I've been very impressed by this glue.

@ Yeah plain old sugar mixed with water works really, really well for adhesion. You can paint it on with a brush. Might be worth trying. The price is certainly right lol.

@raymonddavis7233 👍🏻
