2 ways to improve 3D printed games assets

Hope this helps. More to come, many new ideas to bring to the table!
in this video I show you how to Fix topology, Subdivide the smart way, Use creases to your advantage, Use textures to add mesh detail (the quick way) and sculpt detail using reference (the hard way)

You should have one of those screen overlays that show us what keys you're pressing on the keyboard - makes it easier to follow

"heres method 2" *skips to end "yes thats method 2 i recreated the entire model with sculpt tools" feels like the spongebob draw a circle meme.

I really wish you filmed more of the actual sculpting process. But other than that, great video!

This channel deserves more subs, excellent video.

The Rayman 3 track as the background works so well

First off, nice tutorial, it's one I've thought about making recently, now i don't have to haha. a few things to note from my experience, Except for sculping, i'm stil a beginner in that (by the way wow the sculpt looks badass 10/10). -Changing the mesh from tris to quads (using blenders automatic one) should be done after going through the mesh and converting the topology back to quads by either dissolving (ctr+x) or cutting(k), from my experience it'll help your final mesh be smoother with less vertice "errors" from any triangles that have still been formed, as well as it will be smoother with less subdiv steps. (I hate blenders "tris to quads" (alt+j) myself so I don't use it and do everything by hand). examples of topology optimizations that would be bad for "tris to quads" (alt+j) (kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnivZ4Smi7esjs0) -dang, shift+e is a lot better than using bevels to add the corners, i'm going to use this method from now on. -Getting a height map from a texture set is somewhat "easy", I use a program called awesome bump and it works MOST of the time, sometimes it can be finicky and the height is just badly calculated, however the program itself isn't very user friendly in my experience so it might be hard to get into it for any beginners.

When I try to do his 1st step the mesh just become a blob, like a crumpled paper. Do you know how to fix it?

[@Atmoskirby]

@@markdbest3244 For the displacement like you commented earlier? you need to reduce the strength of the modifier. I generally start wth a strength of 0.02 and increase by incriments of 0.005.

[@markdbest3244]

@@Atmoskirby sorry for late reply. Thanks. I thought that theres some problem with the mesh cause its overlapping or something.

[@Atmoskirby]

@@markdbest3244 Of course! No problem. I hope it worked/helped.

[@markdbest3244]

@@Atmoskirby yeah, it did. But 1st ill have to sharpen the edges. Once again, thank you so much.

Impressive work on Dwarven armor set. Happy to see a fellow 3d print artist at work. I use Maya and ZBrush for my models.

[@anhtuanhuynh2483]

im was thinking about how to do this for month and now you give me the answer You are god

[@EpsilonPrimeTransformers]

when doing the creases you can use "Select" - "Sharp edges" (work best if you are in edge select mode)

[@buckaroosan5571]

This is very informative. Thank you.

[@silverrendprops9760]

do you have any intentions to release or sell the STL for the bust or usable helmet STL?

[@jamesburnett3585]

Man! I need an update! Did you ever make the cosplay?

[@commandocommander4041]

Wish he'd show us what keys he uses to pull up these tools.

[@rfacurojr]

Nice! Thxs

[@bjaurelio]

For the arms, how did you make it so the displacement modifier only affected those areas?

[@brendon6930]

I converted tris to quads but Im still left with some tris that leave bumps and pinches after I have subdivided. What do I do?
