Thank you! Yes, good update!

Great video and the new sculpting updates are fantastic!

Thank you very much!

[@dainjah]

those new simulation brushes.. fabrics, here I come ! :)

[@Farrukh3D]

Thank you! Yes, give them a try!

[@Pitonyshka]

Wow - Zbrush Killer!

[@Farrukh3D]

Haha! No! :) These updates are good but Zbrush is still on top in sculpting in many areas. Thank you!

[@Pitonyshka]

@@Farrukh3D I have been working with ZBrush since 2002. I know what I'm talking about. In about 3 years, everyone will switch to Blender. And yes, ZBrush is still my favorite program.

[@rsher_digital-art]

Thank you ! This is a great way for me to start my day.

[@Farrukh3D]

Thank you for your comment!

[@Hightreads]

looks great, Grab 2D seems especially powerful

[@Farrukh3D]

Thank you!

[@cwtjones]

​@@Farrukh3Dis it similar as grab with "projection" instead of sphere ?

[@Farrukh3D]

@@cwtjones Yes, but this seems to work more better now and with less distortion.

[@Nikkattsu]

Good to see blender is at least trying to catch up with zbrush. I don't mind learning a new program but last time i tried to learn zbrush, it was an actual nightmare for me. Everything seemed super unintuitive but that was nearly a decade ago so maybe ill try it again sometime but RN I'm really enjoying the new blender features. So many massive improvements have been made to blender over the last few years.

[@Farrukh3D]

Thank you very much for your feedback! Good to know! There are some areas where Zbrush is still strong and Blender is not meant to be complete replacement for it. However, Blender does offer lot more then any other 3d software out there in terms of features, tools and being free as well.

[@gurekamsingh4306]

I am trying to learn zbrush now, but the interface is complete shit, it is still a nightmare to learn zbrush

[@Nikkattsu]

@@gurekamsingh4306 aw man that's discouraging. I was hoping that fixed that. By now.

[@gurekamsingh4306]

@@Nikkattsu sadly they haven’t fixed it, i am a top rated freelancer on upwork using blender as a primary software, wanted to increase my skills in sculpting so started learning character creation in zbrush, but its interface is so boring that i have lost my interest in Zbrush, very less shortcuts makes it very difficult to even do simple things like to hide or delete the selected mesh, will still try to learn it and hopefully complete the course that i have bought

[@suraj.1889]

Hi, 6 months ago I had the same opinion about zbrush, the ui was horrible horrible but with time u will be used to it and you will easily learn to customise your interface and tools. ​@@gurekamsingh4306

[@nobodyfamous]

Very useful video! I noticed the asset shelf with the Grease Pencil the other day but haven't had a chance to play with the sculpting brushes yet, looking forward to it!

[@Farrukh3D]

Thank you! Yes, some good updates have been added.

[@rededwards3479]

Am I to believe that the Blender Paint feature in Sculpt Mode is a prelude to the new "Painting method" we all have been PRAYING for.

[@Farrukh3D]

The painting tools have existed already in past versions as well. Now they are more easy and flexible in access. This is vertex painting method which is kind of different from texture painting system which needs updates. Hopefully, there might be new development soon in that area.

[@eucharistenjoyer]

One of the new "features" is not saving brush changes after shutting down which is a HUGE regression.

[@Farrukh3D]

Due to asset shelf, some changes has been made in the backend. There is not much I can do here. Brush changes will not auto save and remain with each file. If I understand correctly, is that is your concern regarding the brushes in sculpting here?

[@eucharistenjoyer]

@Farrukh3D That's exactly the problem. People have shown their concerns regarding this over at Blenderartists Sculpt thread, but the devs and the guy responsible for the UX doesn't seem to care much.

FABRIC BRUSHES

[@Farrukh3D]

Thank you! Yes!

[@ZergRadio]

Yeah, I was so impressed by the demo.

[@wam3d]

Thanks for the video. Where i can find a shortcuts for the sculpt brushes?

[@Farrukh3D]

Hi, Thank you! For the shortcuts, due to new changes you will have to assign your own for most brushes. Right click and set as you need to. You can also right click on any brush and click the online manual (F1). It will open blender documentation for sculpting to see. Here are few already set (G Grab, M Mask, S Smooth, P Pinch, K Snake, C Clay, V Draw)

[@wam3d]

Thanks for answer me 😊

[@simsimsim-n2t]

Can we model cloth like marvelous designer?

[@Farrukh3D]

No, but we can sculpt cloth folds and other details while working in blender. The results can be mix of good and not so. Marvelous designer is going to be better as it is designed to make clothes.

Finally!

[@fenixvitya2495]

Лучше бы дабавили возможность вернуть старый интерфейс в блендер 4.3. Сейчас пользоваться кистями неудобно и интуитивно непонятно глядя на иконки, что они из себя представляют. Некоторые очень похожи визуально друг на друга, но всë же отличаются немного и только по названиям понятно, что эти кисти делают.

[@Farrukh3D]

Thank you for your feedback! Yes, icon designs could be more clear for easy identification. Moving the shelf on left side or to dock anywhere is possible to add.

[@gwentarinokripperinolkjdsf683]

Grab 2d prush is just grab with projected mode though

[@Farrukh3D]

Yes, most brushes are modified forms of the main brushes. It just helps in working a bit faster without changing settings again.

[@Dyako_010]

we need performance improvment

[@Farrukh3D]

Some performance has been improved during loading of high res models and switching between different modes. Hopefully more in future updates!

[@LHK-art]

if no skin pores or tiny wrinkles needed, which is only viewable for closeup shots ( i think such level of details barely add anything to aesthetic unless it is necessary), right now it can handle enough polycount for most situations. But turning on/off multires is kinda slow for high res mesh.

[@AF-bc8vr]

was about to add the same comment.. we need performance improvement, remesh faster, something like 3dcoat, and overall sculpting when working on really high polycount

[@Farrukh3D]

@@AF-bc8vr Yes, I can understand and there are many areas to improve. It is difficult to bring that big performance here as blender is already doing so many other things apart from sculpting. Softwares like 3dcoat, zbrush are dedicated for certain tasks. Although there are some improvements rolling out in each version.

[@sebbosebbo9794]

​​​@@AF-bc8vr 3d Coat is complett different from the system paradima side and how it handles sculping. Use 3d Coat . sadly Its absolut nonsens that ppl. want a second this and that. Blender is a simple Polypusher not more not less . One guy is working on this often part time with hundrets of other projects.

[@MrSanson]

[@Farrukh3D]

[@MEMUNDOLOL]

did they add multithreading support for sculptmod recalculations? or its still unusable with 1mil+ verts as before? update: if any1 interested i tested, 517k verts 1.1m faces mesh, adding decimate planar mod freezes blender for 6.5 min during that time blender uses one core, 3.8m verts mesh in sculpt mode trying to brush makes my pc freeze 2.5 min 64gb ram 12 core ryzen 12gb 3060gpu, i see literally zero difference compared to 4.0 performance

[@Farrukh3D]

Yes, there are performance improvements in the backend when working with high resolution models. Although not same as Zbrush level but still better then before and less lag.

[@afjer]

Did you file a bug report for the flickering issue? There are hundreds of people dedicating their free time to develop the software and it's very likely one of them will pick it up.

[@Farrukh3D]

Hopefully it should be fixed new updates. Although I am not sure if it will make it in the upcoming release of 4.3. This issue has been highlighted before by others as well. I will see check it again.

[@demianpelos]

Blender is taking away so much market from modo

[@Farrukh3D]

Modo was one of the best modeling software. I have used it before. Sadly it is going away now and will be dead.

[@FrostyTheBeerMan]

Hello, I'm confused. I see you are using 4.3, I just went to the download page and it is still 4.2.3 LTS, so are you using a beta version ? You don't indicate this in your video.

[@Farrukh3D]

Hi, Blender 4.3 will be released on 18 November. The beta is very close as the final version. The features shown here are final and already coming. There is already a link to download it if you like to try it the beta to get how it will be. Sorry for the confusion.

[@FrostyTheBeerMan]

@@Farrukh3D Hello ! OK thank you for the information ! I see the beta link now, it was far down on their page. Thank you for taking the time to reply to me !
