Creature sculpt in Forger

[@404LucySIEL]

Sick! I struggle with this app but your video clarify some point

[@andych56]

Thanks, I'm glad to hear it helped. Keep sculpting and each one will become bigger and better. :)

[@Mobiletechvr]

can you make tutorials for beginners

[@chiaraarcidiaco500]

You really nailed it, awesome work!!

[@andych56]

Chiara Arcidiaco Thanks!

[@parrishstudio6803]

That was amazing! Great work!

[@andych56]

Parrish Studio thanks mate :)

[@casiproencia]

Sin palabras!! Esta claro que el artista nace, no se hace.

[@TabletOsxBay]

awesome work! this app has come a long way, obviously not quite ready to replace zbrush but good for quick sculpts on the go. Subbed!

[@andych56]

Yep, it's getting there. I don't sculpt in Zbrush anymore as Forger can get great results. I use Zbrush for polypainting and transferring the high res sculpt back onto a low res model once the UV's are done.

[@TabletOsxBay]

@@andych56 wow you use it over zbrush!? thats pretty awesome, im gonna have to spend more time with it. the thing that bugs me is the lack of hover detection, but im sure i will get used to it I will check out all your other videos for tips! keep it up! thanks!

[@Limitlesshigh]

Wow this is amazing , it’s really cool to see what’s actually capable on this app when someone who is talented and has experience because I bought this app and I know nothing about 3D art so all I could make was a blob lol I need to learn and practice a lot more to get were ur at

[@andych56]

Frog Eye lol we all started with a blob so you’re doing great! Thanks for checking the vid out. I’ll be posting another one in the next few days with more steps to get to your finished product. Unfortunately (at the moment) Forger has some limitations with coloring your model. I’ve used another sculpting app (for the desktop only) Zbrush to colour my next sculpt. It’s only a matter of time before Forger can handle the entire process. But keep practicing and pay close attention to the details of the reference you use for your sculpts. Later, all that info will come back to you when you design your own creations.

[@cyberkhan6587]

That is so awesome!!! Congratulations!!! ... (Is it possible to paint texture and do the retopology in this app?)

[@andych56]

Thanks mate. Yes Forger has an auto retopo function but you might be better doing it manually if you need your GEO perfect. Vertex painting is possible but it's a bit funky to use. You cant project by painting images onto your sculpt but you can apply a whole image to it which will wrap around depending on your UV's, and yes, Forger has an auto UV function as well.

[@cyberkhan6587]

@@andych56 Thank you for reply! So Forger is really amazing (the best one maybe)!! I hope it keeps getting better and better!!! :D

[@Fretboard_Frenzy]

Awesome sculpture mate. Forger app will work on iPad Air 1st generation?

[@andych56]

Hey mate, thanks. I dont it will work on the air. Compatibility Requires iOS 12.1 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

[@yusulfliu9850]

amazing work. how to use texture while uesing stamp?

[@andych56]

Hi and thanks! If you make a black and white image that is square .eg (1000x1000) you drop it into your stamps folder of the Forger app. Anything that is white will be raised up and anything dark will be pushed down. Select your stamp tool and choose your image and click and drag over your sculpt.

[@yusulfliu9850]

@@andych56 thx！bro

[@KUROSHURA]

Oooooooh snap!!!

[@andych56]

Cheers bro

[@godvitz3372]

is there any similar tool to the claybuildup from zbrush, with a square clay build up mode, and does the mesh loss topology if you stretch it to much?

[@andych56]

Godvitz yes there’s a clay brush which works in a similar way. I actually now prefer Forgers clay brush to the clay brush in Zbrush. And yes it’s the same as Zbrush unless you’re using sculptris. Soon Forger will have a dynamic mesh function but for now you need to block out your model fully before going into detail. Check out my tutorial Sculpting tips in Forger. I demonstrate a workflow and the clay brush.

[@roland.hercko]

Hi Andy. I learned a lot about the sculpting thanks to your videos. But I have one basic problem. Can you help me with it please? How can I hide a perspective grid on my working surface? :D thanks

[@andych56]

Roli Hercsko hi mate, are you referring to the first option (Grid3d) switch in preferences?

[@roland.hercko]

Cool, thank you. I switched it off in preferences😀

[@electronicbagatelle]

Amazing sculpt - I’m going crazy here I can’t find grid3d in preferences. Google search brought me to your video. I just got the app yesterday.

[@andych56]

@@electronicbagatelle Sorry for the late reply, Im guessing you sorted it out?

[@fpvpack7532]

When I import other obj files, the symmetrical drawing function disappears, how can I turn on the symmetry function? Thank you

[@andych56]

Check to make sure it’s enabled at the top of your screen with the x/x icon. If that doesn’t work you could try mirroring or resetting symmetry on your sculpt to reset the axis. Those options are in the drop down window of the x/x icon.

[@rossisbudda]

Are you using your fingertip or apple pencil please?

[@andych56]

rossisbudda Hi, I’m using the Apple Pencil. Using your finger won’t allow you to sculpt the finer detail.

[@Aedrian07]

This looks almost like a portable zbrush

[@andych56]

Adrian MX yes it is minus a few tools.

[@burakdag4931]

Great work. Can ı ask u where did you do the rendering? You said maya but is that available for ipad?

[@andych56]

Burak Dağ Hi, unfortunately Maya is only for the desktop. There is no lighting of rendering app on the iPad. I switched to a Surface pro for this reason. I needed the tools I use for work on a portable device. If you have a desktop you can DL Blender for free and light and render in it. Export your model from Forger and import to Blender.

[@romanmnts]

That look very impressive, congrats man! Btw what's the name of the song in 8:28?

[@andych56]

Thanks for checking it out. To be honest, I'm not sure of the song title or artist, I downloaded a bunch of free tracks and that was one of them.

[@Brandonhayhew]

Can this too work on 3d putty

[@andych56]

books from Windblown Hi, I don’t think so Forger has a different workflow and tools.

[@venubamandla6496]

What's the polycount of your final model?

[@andych56]

Hi, it was about 2.5mil in the end.

[@mattconnelly9348]

Nice work pushing this app to see what is possible! I read that it is possible to import obj file, but I can’t figure out how to import a file. I also want to import some alpha textures but can’t seem to import those either. Any tips on how to do this?

[@andych56]

Hi thanks for checking out the vid. If you drop your .obj models into the Forger folder on your iPad they’ll appear in your file panel of Forger, then you can select and start sculpting. This is the same for your stamps or you can drag and drop them straight into your stamp window in Forger with a split screen. Make sure your stamps are square .eg 1000x1000px or they won’t be seen in Forger.

[@mattconnelly9348]

Thanks! Still having some issues importing obj file, but That worked for the texture maps!

[@andych56]

Matt Connelly sometimes if the topology isn’t clean Forger won’t import it. I have had troubles imports some models in the past. Just check there isn’t any overlap/crunching in the geo.

[@Kyle_Butterfield81]

I’m a total noob. What is remesh doing for you?

[@andych56]

Hi, It adds geometry back into the stretched areas. Check out my other vid Sculpting tips in Forger. That goes into more detail and explains how it works.

[@Kyle_Butterfield81]

andych56 ok thanks I’ll check it out tomorrow! I’m an illustrator and have t delved into modeling but it seems really neat.

[@a.p.7383]

this is absolutely sick. i'm surprised this is possible on an ipad already. video deserves a lot more views. what size are the models in mb normally? do you think a 32 gig model is enough for only using this app and procreate to work with?

[@andych56]

Hi and thanks for checking out the vid. From memory, the model was about 100mb. And yes a 32gb iPad will be fine. The iPad has 4gb ram to handle the apps and the 32gb is space that's available for storage. If you run low on storage you can start uploading your models to the cloud. Now go create some awesome stuff.

[@a.p.7383]

@@andych56 thanks for the good answer bro. you should make some basic tutorials or start a patreon page on this. get yourself rich!

[@andych56]

mista twista thanks for the advice, I have a basic tutorial and I’m planning to make some more. Also I’ll look into the get rich scheme you’ve mentioned. 😁😉👍🏻

[@kagaku406]

Did you do that with Apple Pencil or with your fingers?

[@andych56]

w h i t e c o c o a Hi, I used the Apple Pencil. It would be extremely difficult to achieve that level of detail. You don’t get the level of pressure sensitivity with your finger.

[@mrz3r068]

max polygon count you can go for?

[@andych56]

Hi, It's a weird one coz the scene I'm working on now has 1801536 poly's and I had only 16% free ram. I've just opened the scene again and I have about 70% free ram. This might create some confusion to think you can add more sublevels. Its been at 1801536 and 16% free ram for awhile so I wouldnt push it based on todays reading.

[@mrz3r068]

@@andych56 hi thanks for your reply! yeah i think I read the max on ipad pro would be 2 million polys Do you know what happens if you push it? probably the app will hang and crash or it wont even allow you to go higher. Nice Creature btw :)

[@roofoofighter]

Hi, how do you record your iPad screen?

[@andych56]

roofoofighter hey, it might be difficult to explain here. You should look on KZbin for a demonstration. Basically your iPad can do it if you add the Screen Recording button into your control centre by going to Settings/control Centre.

How is this app so unknown??? I seriously just learned about it two days ago. I mean seriously, someone comes out with a Zbrush Lite for iPad and that doesn't make any news???

[@andych56]

Yes, its now just starting to gain some interest. Welcome aboard soldier.

Sorry, didn't mean to skip the fact that your work is awesome and you're probably single handedly promoting this app for the developer. 😂😂
