Blender - Hard Surface Sculpting & Retopo

Hard surface sculpting in Blender isn't what you think it is. It is a great way for creating a concept or guide meshes. Re-topologizing the mesh can deliver some extremely high quality models. Looking for Blender 3d resources? Check out my website for links to assets, addons, discord, and more.

I cant thank you enough for this video. A real gamechanger for me! All the best, Yanni

I love this .. I don't know sculpting at all .. and I think it's time to learn .. this can make my concept designs better I think

[@bUildYT]

amazing!!!

[@mathieumorson]

Thank you for taking the time to explain each brush. Really helps understanding! Great quality tutorial as always

[@pzthree]

Definitely explore the settings and try different things out. It takes a while to figure them out. Thanks for watching. 👍

[@evilotis01]

this is really great, and thank you in particular for the brush customisation advice. bravo.

[@Joshua-wc8nk]

bro you're hitting me with so much useful info this is a really interesting workflow. neeed to give it a go

[@miap7784]

Thank you so much for sharing!

What I would like to understand is why the other brushes dont have the "Persistent base" option. It would certainly prevent overlaps and accumulations when drawing lines that join together.

概述 本视频介绍了Blender中的硬表面雕刻和重新拓扑技术，提供了一个在Blender中进行硬表面创作的高级教程。 关键信息 1. 硬表面雕刻技巧 使用“平整”和“自动平滑”工具软化和加固表面。 利用“刮削”工具细化边缘并修整表面。 启用“曲线”工具创建自定义笔触，实现更平滑的效果。 调整“平滑”工具的设置，使其能够像砂纸一样打磨表面。 2. 重新拓扑 使用“投影”功能将雕刻网格投影到一个新的平面，从而开始重新拓扑。 通过填充、挤出和循环切割等技术生成新网格。 利用“机器工具”进行直线移动和表面滑移等操作。 通过“三角填充”和“网格填充”工具修复孔洞并创建均匀网格。 3. 网格优化 使用“Reduction”或“Redirect”工具调整边缘流和减少多边形数量。 添加“Crease”来锐化边缘并保持细节。 利用“Loop Tools”平整表面并控制网格形状。 4. 高分辨率雕刻 应用“Multiresolution”修改器进行细分并创建高分辨率雕刻。 使用“Boundary Smooth”和“Subdivision Smooth”模式调整细分方法。 使用“Sculpt Alphas Manager”添加自定义笔刷，进行精细细节雕刻。 设置合适的代理值，在高分辨率雕刻中保持网格质量。 5. 注意事项 确保镜像对称在重新拓扑之前启用。 使用“Symmetrize”操作或“Mirror”修改器将雕刻镜像到另一侧。 注意多重分辨率和镜像之间可能出现的错误，并根据需要进行手动调整。

This vid is great but I am hitting a snag. Viewport overlays menu doesn't have shading or retopology as options. This might be because I am using Blender 4. Where are theses options now?

[@ramalshebl60]

nice

[@SanjayStiltskin]

What dyntopo settings do you use?

[@renealbrechtsen9743]

Would you recommend retopoing it fully before fixing ngons or fix ngons as you go ?

[@pzthree]

Fix ngons when needed. During or after usually.

[@foncon9642]

For some reason I didn't think of using this method as a base for my hard surface stuff in this manner. Would be even better using retopoflow addon with Blender! Thanks

[@HanSolocambo]

Only good thing about retopoflo is their marketing. It's a terrible addon. Free retopo tools (or Blender Vanilla) are waaaaay better than this unstable shite.
