The circle analogy for topology was great, thanks! I always found myself lost whenever working with complex shapes.

[@morbuskobold4233]

This! How often did i struggle after 1000+ Hours of tedious (actually fun) hard work of modelling the Basic Cube into another superior Basic Cube to fail the Topology and make modifiers unusable. Shame and never again will i get mentally challenged about basic stuff. Proud to be self taught and these Guys making free Content here on KZbin are awesome.

[@hotdogusplagiarizes8434]

Man, this is the most underrated channel I’ve ever seen. This tutorial does a great job of explaining every step of your process while keeping my attention.

[@oscarchavez8527]

Dude, amazing video! I personally appreciate very much the "why's" you would chose to use certain tools over others. And of course, your comedic time, is pitch perfect. You got yourself a new subscriber.

I think i have got a better channel to learn some blender and sculpting stuffs. And thanks for providing your knowledge to our generation 😉😉❤❤❤❤

[@krolnoobek]

Hello in2vert! Thank you for this tutorial I learned a lot from it. I tried following it and it and my viking axe looks amazing! You have showed me new techniques that i never could think it would be a game changer. You definetly earned a sub!

[@Nordgubben]

Great tutorial. Came for the handle wraps. Stayed for the sculpting

[@amk254]

Hi. Love the video. Best spent 13 minutes probably in my whole life. Thank you!

at 2:30, how is he creating faces so fast? i know the video y accelerated, but still, is the a hotkey?

[@solaire7046]

You have 100% earned my sub here. such a nice flow and high quality video. Personally i really love the small quick asides to explain a concept like the circle analogy, dont see that on other channels.

[@blenderwithabeginner4419]

I'm currently around the half-way point in the video (its been an hour lol) but I've already watched the whole thing before. All I can say is amazing work!! I will definitely watch some of your other vids! 5:42 8:02

[@timotanzer322]

The quality of your videos is amazing. Also the tutorials are easy to follow and you got me to try out Blender again. This channel will definitely blow up. Mark my words. Anyway, I'm subscribing now, so I can say I was here from the beginning. xD

Another great video

[@МихаилБадаев-э5ф]

Great modeling! 👍 I'm really interesting of texturing process.

[@alejandrososa8194]

To avoid so many polygons, do I need to duplicate the high poly I create and use topology and then use the Shinkwarp modifier? That what you do in the video? Did you do this with the metal of the ax too?

[@sperpflerperberg8147]

Fantastic tutorial, video editing and humor. Subscribed instantly :)

[@milten09]

Well, first of all my Blender/PC was crashing constantly after starting to work with the multires modifier. And i have a 4070TI so not sure what happened there, maybe CPU couldn't handle it. Whenever i used inflate - crash. Took maybe 40 tries until i managed to do it. But also my model looked completely different (as in MUCH worse). I don't know why but none of the sculpted bits were sharp just all around a blobby mess. Maybe i missed stuff but this tutorial was pretty hard to follow overall.

[@BATCH3]

Thank you! amazing job!

[@norikaGilbert]

love this tutorial thank you!! 😀

[@kebrashmebra9597]

sick tutorial thank you

[@morbuskobold4233]

Was here before you were cool ;) Just here to say you are indeed cool and your Tutorials are awesome. Keep going and great for intermediate Users like me, who know the Basics and some of Substance Painter/Design, Blender, Unity and the like. One Question: What do you think about ZBrush for Sculpting? I never got my feet wet with Blender Sculpting after some basic Stuff (Made a Dog aka Creature of Doom) but you make it look so easy for detailing that i think i should invest some serious time into it. PS: I like the addlibs (hammering the stuff into my brain) and the short tutorials. PPS: Masks while sculpting are Killer Feature. Will add it to my workflow after getting confident with sculpting. Thx and greetings from Germany.

[@SaiyedR]

Wooowww what a skills.

[@dtgrafix]

damn bro that was intense! :D Very helpful but sometimes a little bit too fast for me. I had to replay many steps extremly often. Anyway its still a damn great tutorial!!! Thank you for that :-)

[@blenderwithabeginner4419]

Sorry but when I tried to use the dyntopo on the handle, the vertices didn't increase and it turned all of the quads into tris (idk if thats normal). When i try to sculpt while dyntopo is on it is very blocky ??

why grid fill instead of creating a face

[@Goatythemeow]

hi i had a question, at 7:32 my textures arent coming out smooth, like the are "exploding?" i tried to increase the subdivision but that didnt seem to work. also im having trouble getting dyntopo to increase the resolution on the handle

[@wukongthejedi]

hey im new to meodeling in blender and whenever i try to extrude the outline like you do in 3:40 to close the shape it will just extrude in random directions. do you use the extrued tool on the left or is there another way im not aware of? great video by the way!

[@in2vert]

Just press E to extrude. I think you are lacking blender fundamentals. I would advise you to come back to this tutorial, after you did my beginner course (just 45 minutes to learn everything).

Hello. Can I ask where you got the idea for those glyphs on the axe head? Merry Xmas!

[@Maskeowl]

i wish there is a deteailed video for sculp mode note: i have low end pc

[@JakobStorbacka]

In this video the mask tools makes clean lines (and clean circles). But for me the edges are jagged, even though str. and hardness are at 1. Anyone got any ideas how to fix this?

[@in2vert]

Your model needs more polys :)

[@cyberzs4285]

I dont know why but, when i do stroke lines it looks like pixelart. Cant fix it...........

[@PoconGaming]

The bevel at 1:10 is making me lose my mind I can't get it right!

[@mixmaker2114]

the mask tool dont work i only se litle squars and not a line

[@hamayoonkhan1740]

Do you use 4k or 8k textures on that table or whatever?

[@kevinbjorkman7225]

Question at 5:29, why not use the sharpen edge tool that exist when using SubD? You dont have to add the extra verts then

[@in2vert]

Because adding support loops looks better in most cases.

how on earth is he doing the quick fill with the initial topology in the circle? I can't see the shortcuts he's using. Alt-Numpad 1 and 2 doesn't do anything for me. HELP!

[@in2vert]

I don't know what you mean, but you can use "Grid Fill" by pressing Ctrl+F

[@Zippyheru]

You never stated this was a video for beginners, but I have to say it wasn't very beginner friendly. You left out quite a bit of important steps and had me confused about when you skipped some parts where suddenly you're model is edit mode sort of resembles what your sculpt looks like, making me believe you have already applied the multiplier? When I'm in edit mode, im completely back to the blockout handle, because the modifier is still not applied.

[@in2vert]

Thank you for your feedback. Can you please tell me the timestamps so I can fix it for others :)?

[@Zippyheru]

@@in2vert 9:48-9:50 you suddenly jump to where you have 2 models, skipping the step to create a low poly model? At least thats what confused me

[@in2vert]

I told seconds before, that I retopologized the model in order to sculpt more details. Retopology is a very boring process, which I do not show often in my videos, since it is just something that has to be done.

[@Zippyheru]

@@in2vert do you happen to have a video where you show this process? I would like to understand it a bit more :)

[@in2vert]

@@Zippyheru I have a bunch of retopology videos on my channel. For the axe, I only have the uncut video you can find on patreon.

[@Joel-bg3cf]

can we just add sharps by doing shift + e at the edges, or is the knife tool process superior?

[@in2vert]

You can, but it does not work great on all parts of a mesh, while cutting works always, but produces more vertices.

[@faresmoataz10]

great i abslotly understod everthing please help i only understood that i should spawn a cylendier

[@in2vert]

I guess you should start with the absolute basics. Check out my beginner course on my patreon page e.g.

[@emilalibekov]

How did you get LP straps? is it your initial shape without modifiers?

[@in2vert]

Yes Sir

[@ThomasPOV]

hello, I have a question, what site did you go to to download the brushes to do the wood or the Viking details ? thank you

[@in2vert]

Most of them are created by myself and you can download them on my patreon page patreon.com/in2vert

[@LamentOfOrpheus]

[@KodaBear2]

hey guys if your watching this i recommend you do your own thing instead of following the video other wise you wont learn. do things differently and after this video maybe make 2 more things with what u learned while its still fresh without checking back on the video

[@GewoonGustavo]

is there an option to download the axe with a transparent background on your patreon?

[@in2vert]

There is a project file, with everything set up (camera, etc). You can simply render it yourself.

Hello I’m modeling a version of the axe and was wondering where you got the texture for the neck of the axe. I subscribed to your patron for the alpha textures but couldn’t find that one. 7:35

Can someone please tell me the amount of polygons this axe (would) have at the end ?

About 16k. In my low poly vs high poly video you can see another version with about 2k and how it was done.

[@KuzzaFx]

Music is a bit loud

[@dtgrafix]

Is there no other method to fill out a shape ? Its extreme annoying to connect all these points by hand... Maybe I just not understand that part all...

[@in2vert]

yes there are automated ways, but they create bad topology most of the time which is not good to continue working with. You can e.g. just press F or Ctrl+E and select grid fill.

[@isakius]

how do you add vertices between vertices?

[@in2vert]

CTRL-R. Loop Cuts :)

@@in2vert do you know why when i go to sculpt some parts of the axe have another grey tone and seem to be cut?

[@doronyf]

First of all, something really doesn't make sense in your video! When I delete the vertices of the plane, the plane is completely deleted and I can't add more vertices or extrude to make shapes, like you did. And in addition, you run your actions really, really fast with little explanation, and it is not clear what you click on or what you do to reach certain actions and the desired results. I wish you would work a little slower and take the time to explain what you are doing, even if it meant splitting the video into two parts - that would have been much more helpful.

[@CousinMarvin]

Low poly has nothing to do with modeling, just with the topology at the end. However I don't like Low Poly, so you will never see me do this :).
