You're not only an expert at the software, but you know how to teach it better than most anyone else.

[@Arcomuc]

Honestly the journey of lil' gotzilla captivated me and I ended up watching the whole thing XD

[@stephanechataignie]

Just a word to say you're the best over all others good teachers. Your pedagogy is perfect. All is clear and everything has meaning

[@cgboost]

Many thanks! ~Zach 🥰

[@PoMkAc27]

Agree with you. The best teacher. Love his courses

[@ChiefMinor]

Truly speaking, this is the best flow of a tutorial I've seen so far. The build up and work-around. I've watched Dino transform and learnt at the same time. All I have to remember is Dino and all tips come to mind. Thanks again Sir Zach.

[@furansart]

The lil godzilla narrative was too much hahahah, I loved it! Thanks for this tutorial, much needed!

[@conradvd7262]

Would CGBoost ever do a particle course? Or a course on simulating smoke, fire, water, fur, cloth, etc? Would love a course on that.

[@cgboost]

Thanks for the suggestion. It is nothing we are actively working on atm, but it is definitely on our list.

[@conradvd7262]

@@cgboost Thank you!

[@Ali-Farzin-Abri]

You're the reason I love youtube. Thank you so much for this. Super cute and super informative.

[@TheAngelArrow]

skimmed through the tips and learned 2 new things. always something new to learn hehe 😉i appreciate the video man

[@sapientunderground]

Both entertaining and informative, much appreciated!

[@rodrigosaure]

Alt+Q... THANK YOU, Zach. You have improved my quality of life by 400%. I will have considerably more free time to spend with my children.

[@KristianKivisalo]

Very useful video and the little Godzilla driving the story is ingenious 😊

[@KareemHenein]

Hey Zach. Great video! Love your work and amazing tips! Here's a little contribution on the Roll tip. I managed to come up with a native blender way to roll using mouse and shortcut keys. Give it a shot. Preferences > Keymap > Name (tab) > search for Roll Under 3d View section, find the View Roll rule and change the following: - Type of event mapping: Mouse - Type of event: Middle Mouse - Value: Press - Choose Control and Alt (modifier keys) - Roll Angle Source: Roll Angle Now in your 3d viewport you can press Control, Alt and Middle Mouse to Roll the view seamlessly. Let me know how it goes, Cheers!

[@cgboost]

Thanks for the tip! ~Zach

[@JosueMartinez-ww1vj]

Thanks for sharing, very very helpful !!!

[@SouvikKarmakar1]

like this way of creating tutorials . love it , way to go.

[@Topcatyo.]

A lot to take in with this video, but all of its advice is greatly appreciated. I also think the Godzilla workout frame to the whole thing is inspired and adds a lot of fun to the video.

[@MajikayoGames]

Best blender video I've ever watched. Started using blender occasionally about a year ago just piecing together info from various tutorials. Learned so many things from this 1 video and I'm only half way through.

[@Zjombie]

this is an amazing video, very much appreciated!

[@clinton_jones]

Zack, you hit it out the park again with this video! Thanks again for sharing all these awesome tips in a really fun way!

[@ДАДПЕП]

Thanks a lot! You just opened my eyes to possibilities that I had not seen before. Lord, thank you for this man's existence.

[@juhada]

Hah! humor all over cgboost! First Louis, now Zach with the comedy. The godzilla segment was funny! :D

[@marcelowiek]

The way Zach teaches is on point and unique!

[@kieranm7469]

Wow. I'm commenting as much to remind myself how amazing this video is as much as to boost your visibility! You absolute beast!

[@joebuehrer]

The Grab Silhouette, Symmetrize With Multirez, and Dynamic Face Set And Mask Tools were awesome tips!

[@hafsazafar3231]

Your teaching style is incredibly clear, and I could feel your passion for the subject shining through. Your efforts have truly inspired and helped me. Sending heartfelt dua prayers your way for all the good you bring to the community. I was literally in need of it.

[@thefamousrat8852]

Great video. I love how you made a little story for every chapter, with a certain problem to address and a specific Blender solution to solve it. I've been sculpting for a while in Blender and yet I still got some new tips, really nice!

[@chrisgoart]

Really liked all the tips! They take some of the mystery/confusion out of how to effectively approach sculpting in Blender. Really enjoyed the story and character you made to go along with it. Great stuff! 🤩

[@VinoshRathinam]

Thanks for sharing, very helpful for me

[@Foxcoder]

really good and heaps of helpful info, thanks a lot

[@Drakonix]

Perfect tutorial!❤

[@withnine7250]

This fun way of teaching is very helpful. Thank a lot

[@nikolaikai940]

By tip #8 I was thoroughly invested in Chubzilla's fitness journey. 💪

[@DashHuntsman]

Absolutely love your courses, and I learned so much in this tutorial also. Thank you so much!

[@petertremblay3725]

I wish someone could make an extensive tutorial on how to use all the brush features since there is so many possibilities and not a single tutorial has done this so far!

[@cgboost]

It's not a free tutorial, but in my Master 3D Sculpting in Blender course I have a whole chapter going over all sculpting brushes and tools in detail. More info here: www.cgboost.com/courses/master-3d-sculpting-in-blender

[@WheresThaHate]

love that chonky godzilla what an absolute unit.

[@leafface5890]

this is like tips to not loose your mind when using blender

[@TheAkafa]

5:53. For rotate better use stock blender addon "greace pencil tools". When u add it you take comfortable rotate on ctrl+alt+MMB

[@SlovoSanctum]

Informative and cute! Thanks for the free lesson! Lots of tips I plan to try to apply in my sculpting.

[@niththomas]

What an amazing tutorial! Thank you!

[@jeremypajotart]

Thank you so much for this awesome video filled with awesome tips and tricks!! I am a pro sculptor using Blender everyday and I still learned a lot of very useful stuff! Thanks a ton!!

[@brandonjacksoon]

Thanks Zach! Always helpful!

[@richardmaheux]

Amazing!

[@equalique1]

Gold! Thanks for sharing!

[@Badbufon]

must watch video, most of the time the frustrations with 3d modeling came from not knowing how to deal with small things that cascade into big mistakes

[@anficyon]

Awesome tips, the sculpting course is also amazing

[@bb_Boofus]

This was a phenomenal video, thank you! Also I love lil Godzilla!

[@HoriNotCode]

The alt+d for duplicate linked its very usefull 😮😮

[@li7131]

[@alexandreancel6423]

Great and funny tutorial, thanks a lot !

[@LeslieSolorzanov]

I want to learn how to do this mat haha, and unroll it like that :)

[@cgboost]

😁 Well, here is a very old tutorial from me, that shows the basic workflow I used: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoq8aIt4paaYjac

[@paulhiggins5165]

Thanks for this really helpful video. One tip I would pass on is when using Alphas to add detail to a high res mesh. I use the anchored stroke but sometimes place the alpha detail in the wrong place and want to delete the brush stroke. But this can be really slow- at least on my machine. But if you add a single stroke of the Alpha and leave it in place then any subsequent applications of that alpha can be deleted really quickly. I don't know why but it works. Also when you have a hi res mesh visible, loading alpha files can be slow, but if you first hide the hi res mesh and then load the alpha it loads a lot quicker. The other tip would be to bind the place pivot action in sculpt mode to a hot key- then you can put the brush where you need the pivot to be, press the hot key and the pivot point will relocate to that point.

[@cgboost]

Thanks for the tips! ~Zach

[@musico_arts]

awesome video!

I came to learn, I stay for Little Godzilla

Gracias maestro!!!

[@CGSTUDENT15]

When i get notification for that video i ignore by thinking i m complete beginner in sculpting but now when i qatch the start part aoh tips for beginners? Thanx for this use tips

[@CGSTUDENT15]

I mean" for these useful tips 😅"

[@Dr-Mo7077]

I really like tip No.1

[@CGSTUDENT15]

Gorilla decrease his weight but we have to the bit of operation in the end 😅

[@wagnerdesouza6512]

Is there a way to "Polish" the overall mesh like in Zbrush?

[@cgboost]

Not sure what exact feature you mean? Is it remeshing or overall smoothing of the whole mesh (this can be done with the mesh filter tool)

[@mhollis1989]

Bro just called me out twice in the same image! .;A;

[@jostasizzi818]

I would like a course based on animals and birds creation in blender from sculpting to exporting in another engine like godot...

[@cgboost]

Thanks for your suggestion, will take it into account for our next courses.

[@ComplexTagret]

Omg! 1.5K likes (and +1 my one) and zero dislikes! You are really good teacher! )

[@Jellybeancracker]

How were you able to pose the character? Did you put bones?

[@cgboost]

I think Zach used the pose brush since in the original file I don't see any bones. ~ Masha

[@gangger89]

by all honesty i like the fat gozilla better ;) great tutorial - thank you :)

[@brianbecker2696]

Yeah, definitely. Godzillas are supposed to be a bit chonky.

[@vladign1110]

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[@forbiddenbox]

damn I wish I could sculpt with a mouse

[@cgboost]

I know some artists who do. But personally have no idea of how they do that, for me, it feels super hard 😅 ~ Masha

[@forbiddenbox]

@@cgboost it is really hard 😭 but I guess it all comes down to practice as much as we don't like to hear jt

[@cgboost]

@@forbiddenbox Yeah I guess so too. But I personally prefer sculpting with the tablet :) ~ Masha

[@hameddesign70]

Alt + middle mouse click on the model does 5 of your tips

[@pelecyphora1]

fINGERNAILS -an alpha texture??

[@victorskrabe]

Hi! Tahnk you for all these tips - can you give to us more details on how you design the head strap and the shoes? Im very curious on how to put clothers on the carcaters without "join" it. Did you used Shrinkwrap Modifier?

[@abhirutmeherishi5738]

awesome vid! I watched it in one go wch is rare for me with videos close to an hour. I have a question. was there a reason to use face set in the splinter portion we could have used slice masked in the mas drop down as well couldnt we? P.S. Godzarnold Schwarzilla should steal kevandrams gp cake next time XD

[@cgboost]

Hi, thanks for the comment! Could you please add the timestamp of the section related to your question? ~ Masha

[@AnittaDeady]

you're funny❤

[@kraalwig]

why are my base meshes not posable like yours?

[@cgboost]

Hi what do you mean by not posable? ~ Masha

[@kraalwig]

@@cgboost I just realized there was an update. The original file did not come with the primatives

[@AlirezaAbotorabi-c2n]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@DEOHVI]

Nice tips, thanks for sharing! I will add these to my Blender workflow 100% I normally enjoy the humor in the videos here, but I must add that this time I found the "fat" jokes were very repetitive and out of touch. I would love to watch future videos with 20% less jokes and more focus on the matter. Could be only me, I know people in my life that would find that subject stigmatizing as they simply can not exercise like others due to special accessibility needs.

[@musashidanmcgrath]

Well, that's life. The real world isn't a child's kindergarten. Words are just words. If words upset you then either don't listen to them or learn to strengthen your character. There are a lot worse things in this world to suffer than 'upsetting' words.

[@razibulhassan2601]

what are you? are you tutoring kids from class 2 or anything else? its so much cringe and crap when you try making bushi bushi funs but ultimately ends at nonsense!

[@jernejcebasek8369]

what are you doing here?

[@frankfenriz]

so many fantastic methods - its great thanks alot

[@lossapote]

I got the error "unable to copy bundle due to 2 external dependencies more details on the console" when trying to add the human meshes :(

[@cgboost]

Are you using the latest stable Blender release (4.0)?

[@lossapote]

@@cgboost yeah, 4.0

[@mathiaspfuetzner]

Great work. :) Love the idea of little Gozilla :D I'm not sure if I#d want to know how much work went into this video. :D

[@cgboost]

Thanks! Yeah, it was a lot of work - but I had a ton of fun creating it! 😁 ~Zach

[@tony-mora]

Amazing!

[@funksmaname]

this is hilarious... love the format, and very useful, thanks!

[@ahmki52298]

The best Blender class someone could have, without doubt!! Zach, you are THE guy!! Thank you very much: there were so many useful hints and informations. Obrigado!

[@cgboost]

Many thanks! 🥰 ~Zach

[@SHooterHD...]

I've been sitting and struggling in the blender for over 12 hours and I can't solve the problem. When I use the pose brush on my hands, my body moves, when I move my right leg, my left leg moves.

[@cgboost]

Hi, hard to say what happened without seeing the file, can you please post it here: www.cgboost.com/resources/ ~ Masha

[@Skedooosh]

Have you tried the easy patch addon? It seems great for retopology.

[@cgboost]

Will try it out, thanks for the suggestion!

[@justbasil7308]

by far one of the best videos i've watched lol. the presentation of information and the 'straight to the point' teaching method is awesome!

[@PCgmesforever]
