Different methods for creating wood texture

IMPORTANT: To remesh is now simply the "R" key.
A tutorial looking at how to sculpt wood in Blender and also how to use alpha textures as brushes. I also go into some alpha texture as brushes theory that I haven't seen discussed anywhere, which I think is interesting as it seems pretty important for understanding how it functions and pulling off certain effects.

Remesh is now only R key. Took time to figure it out :) Thanks for the tutorial!

[@ArtisansofVaul]

Yeah it just changed. Sorry about any confusion with that. Frustrating.

[@VGModelling]

@@ArtisansofVaul No worries, just commented, if others may be confused :)

@@ArtisansofVaul Could you pin this comment please, so that way other's don't get confused & mad on why remesh wasn't working (speaking from experience)

[@ArtisansofVaul]

@@NathanPenguin Done 👍🏻

Perfect timing for a project! An alpha texture tutorial would be handy!

[@ArtisansofVaul]

Consider it on the list!

[@SkemeKOS]

Your tutorials are absolutely amazing! You deserve WAY more subs. Keep up the amazing work and I'm sure you'll get there

[@ArtisansofVaul]

Thanks so much 😁 Lovely thing to hear.

[@Dannos3d]

Outstanding vid. I would be interested in seeing how you made the alpha and also how you inverted it. This one has given me some inspiration for a old house in the forest. Thanks again

[@ArtisansofVaul]

👍 A few people have requested it so I'll be doing a video on that for sure. Probably for next Friday.

[@v-sig2389]

Omg just when I need it ! Thanks for the tips !

[@ArtisansofVaul]

No problem at all. Glad they are helpful!

[@Warloo100]

Great! Got me forward a lot, thanx for that.

[@ArtisansofVaul]

Glad it helped!

[@utekk]

Thank You mate. I'm starting 3d printable arch. love Your tuts

[@ArtisansofVaul]

Thanks so much. Hope it goes well

[@ruslandad365]

Amazing Tutorial!!! Thanks!!!

[@ArtisansofVaul]

My pleasure 😁 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, its really appreciated.

[@lartmaispastrop]

Thanks ! Two interesting methods here, and the combination of them give a neat texture for wood ! Definitely have to train my tablet skills with blender 😅 Thanks !

[@ArtisansofVaul]

No worries. I found you get better surprisingly quickly. I do need to do more sculpting though.... Maybe a future project.

[@lartmaispastrop]

@@ArtisansofVaul Okay, thanks ! That's encouraging to read that haha Will try to practice it someday 😊 Oh nice ! That would be cool to see a big sculpting project on your channel ! Thanks again, have a nice day !

[@Perchpole]

I would also recommend using textures in stencil mode. This can be combined with the mask brush and the mesh filter (in inflate mode) to create very effective surface relief.

[@ArtisansofVaul]

Thanks for that. Something I need to look into as I haven't used that before. Thats why I love doing the channel as its a great way to find out new things from people that know different techniques. Cheers.

[@Perchpole]

@@ArtisansofVaul Welcome. I'm about to PM you.

[@rabidgremlincom]

Would be great to get a video covering of approaches to scale and detail that print well

[@ArtisansofVaul]

Do you mean as in how it prints at various scales? (Just so Im clear).

[@rabidgremlincom]

@@ArtisansofVaul ah, more as too how to choose the right level of detail that will print well for say 28mm. Rules of thumb for thicknesses of parts. What details to exaggerated. What details aren't worth adding etc

[@ArtisansofVaul]

@@rabidgremlincom Thats a great idea for a video! I'll add it to the list of things to do.

[@امیرحمزہ]

LOVE YOU FRIEND , THANKYOU FOR HELP

[@ArtisansofVaul]

😁 My pleasure.

[@t39an8r]

Thanks for this, you've accidentally helped me make a better bacon model

[@ArtisansofVaul]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Hitsujioyaji]

Would be great if you could make a video on creating alpha brushes

[@ArtisansofVaul]

Cool. I will add it to the list to do then. Cheers.

[@Hitsujioyaji]

@@ArtisansofVaul looking forward to it!

[@filamentio]

Great video as always, but I have a question: Is there an option in Blender where I can specify how "deep" my lines go when modeling?

[@ArtisansofVaul]

Do you mean setting a limit on how deep it can go in total?

[@filamentio]

@@ArtisansofVaul yes exactly

[@georgeluna6217]

Thanks for the tutoria! My wondering is that, I have a plank of about 2m long but in order to start sculpting nice crease lines I have to go up 20m polys... Is that normal?

[@ArtisansofVaul]

I did reply to this but it seems to have disappeared so sorry about it. 20million is higher than I'd want it but it depends on your computer to be honest. I'd try to get it below that though

[@XxSWxX666]

If you ask me, that's way too many polys. But then again, I don't know what your PC hardware can handle. And I also don't know what you want to do with this plank. Keep in mind, that for most prints you don't really need too much detail because most printers (FDM and Resin) won't be able to print out such details. Yes, they can print detailed stuff, but I'm talking about very very fine scratches in the wood. Such details probably won't even be visible once you've painted your model (if you do so)...

[@g35]

Hello, is there any way to contact you?

[@ArtisansofVaul]

Sure. Easiest way is if you have Instagram to find me there (my profile is at the bottom of the videos). If thats not possible you could email me but I try to keep my personal stuff a little separated. Let me know if Instagram works.

[@g35]

@@ArtisansofVaul Thanks for the quick response, unfortunately Instagram is not an option

[@ArtisansofVaul]

@@g35 If you don't mind putting your email here I can contact you that way then delete the message with it on.

[@g35]

Did you get it? Or did the comment get auto-deleted?

[@ArtisansofVaul]

@@g35 Ah... it must have auto deleted as I didn't see it. Hang on, let me see if I can find an alternative. I also have a page for Artisans of Vaul on Facebook of thats an alternative? m.facebook.com/Artisans-Of-Vaul-295826400821161/

[@yootoobnoob1]

I must inform you of something here... This is the same process I use to model bacon strips.

[@ArtisansofVaul]

Haha. Which one, the Alpha textures of the sculpting. And MORE importantly, I now want to make an alpha texture of some bacon and see if it works for wood!

[@yootoobnoob1]

@@ArtisansofVaul I'll be eagerly waiting! Let me know when you accomplish this!

Wood… Humour me 🫤
