Cirila: Blender Sculpting Timelapse. Dyntopo

Full creation process of the sculpture of my grandmother Cirila. All you can see is made with Blender: Image Capture, sculpting, render (Cycles), even the video I have edited in Blender VSE (I was surprised how well it works). I hope you like it! Happy blending! www.ismaelfuentes.com/
Music: Corey Cerovsek, violin; Paavali Jumppanen, piano. Violin Sonata No. 9 in A Major, "Kreutzer" (Beethoven)
All of these performances were recorded live in the Tapestry Room of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston. The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is pleased to share this concert under a Creative Commons Music Sharing License. For details see gardnermuseum.org

I am an architect who switched to blender recently , after 2.8 release , you were one of the videos I saw years before and got me thinking of blender , it was hard back then , but now it became really powerful , so you are a hero to have the guts to sculpt on it this period 😎

If I had half of this talent, I think I could live just working on this. I know that to reach this ability many, many, many hours were spent on learning and training, years of work. None get this ability within one week or one work. The talent just appear for those who are extremely dedicated and are focus on what they want. Congratulation, it's a wonderful work. Exciting.

[@Dam0nSingh]

Im sure Zbrush has a trick or 2 up its sleeve but Blender is getting better by the day. Also , just found this vid from the same uploader on realistic skin in blender. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2m7iJ6irtFjesU ;)

[@josephbrandenburg4373]

@Mariano This is easily doable at the shader level in Blender. Also, The sculptor didn't add skin micro-details. He also wouldn't have done that in ZBrush. He quit working when he felt the work was done. If you absolutely must have micro-detail in geometry, it's definitely possible in Blender using multi-res. Of course Z-Brush is better for this sort of thing, but in the pipeline, it all becomes a normal/displacement map in the end anyway. If you're just sculpting, again, far better in Blender to just use adaptive subdivision with a painted displacement map.

[@JunkieVirus]

@Artisan try blender 2.8 with some brushes from the Brush toolkit. 45 euro's voor 200 brushes. and your done.

I don't think any sculpting tool can catch up to Zbrush but this is Amazing, it's incredibly powerful and has so many tools in one package and for free. I think everyone should learn Blender in addition to every other software you use. Only because it's so powerful and free.

[@peaolo]

there's an online version freely readable (probably it's a bit old, but I think human anatomy didn't change too much in the last few decades ;-) ) here: www.scribd.com/doc/106203113/Eliot-Goldfinger-Human-Anatomy-for-Artists-the-Elements-of-Form
