*Gasp!* Blender 3.0 is out now and there's been a few small changes, occurring within the first 2 mins of this video: 1) 00:50 After pressing CNTRL + 4 to smooth the cube, and going to the wrench icon, you will NOT see that 'Apply' button in the same place. It's now under the little down-arrow in the top row of icons, just to the left of the 'X'. (The overall window you're accessing here is the same.) 2) 01:31 Blender 3.0 no longer defaults to symmetrical sculpting mode. If you DON'T want symmetry on, go ahead and sculpt away! To turn on symmetry (like I have in the video) in Sculpt Mode, look to the lower right of the screen for the 'Symmetry' tab (two rows beneath the 'Dyntopo' checkbox.) Inside that tab, you'll find 'Mirror' at the top. I recommend turning it on for the X axis. To be sure where the symmetry will happen - your cursor will show both your brush size, as well as a corresponding dot on the side where the symmetry will occur! I'm happy to add more to this list as needed. Please comment here if anything else needs updating! Enjoy the tutorial :)

For the last one, there's a better option! You can make the model material into a color that matches the background: 1)Click on the model, go to shading. In the bottom right window you'll see two nodes connected. 2)Click on the the "principled BSDF" and press x to delete it. Then press shift+a and search for "RGB". 3)Place it down and connect it to the other node (material output) in the "surface" slot. 4)Then on the RGB node set the color to be the same as your background.

[@marcobucci]

This is a better solution, thanks!

[@kelvinchuks8885]

Kinda new to blender, I wish I could see this explained in a video,

[@northwind6199]

@@kelvinchuks8885 Maybe this will help: 1. What we're trying to do is change the color of the model to be identical to that of the background, that way the model will seamlessly occlude the lines that shouldn't be visible without appearing like it's 3D shaded. 2. To do this, click on the model of your head to select it. 3. Then click on the "Shading" tab on the upper side of the screen. Depending on your screen layout, one of the Blender windows will now be a dark grey grid with two rectangles full of numbers and options (called "nodes"). One should say "Principled BSDF" (a photorealistic shader) and the other should say "Output" (the final shader). The Principled BSDF node should be connected with a line to the first socket (called "Surface") of the Output node. 4. Select and delete the Principled BSDF shader as it's responsible for the realistic shading of the model. 5. Press Shift+A to add a new node. A little popup window will appear. Click on the search bar it has and type "RGB". From the results it gives you, click on the RGB node to place it down. 6. Connect its "color" output (the only one it has) directly to the "Surface" socket of the Output node- basically we're directly using flat color (instead of a proper shader) as the final material. 7. Now we need to make the color of the model identical to that of the background. You can either do this manually by tweaking the RGB node, or you can copy and paste the color of the background directly into the RGB node. 8. To do this, go back to your original tab (from the top of the screen), find the World settings (bottom right), hover your mouse over the world background color and press Ctrl+C to copy it (Blender copies whatever value your mouse is hovering over, including RBG values). Then head back to the Shader editor, hover your mouse over the color rectangle of your RGB node and press Ctrl+V.

[@JojishiAMVs]

A lot of work done by studio Ufotable is done this way. For instance, there is a famous fight scene in the Garden of Sinners (Kara no Kyoukai) franchise which has a lot of dynamic camera movement. This entire scene is basically 3d animation, with only the characters being drawn ontop of the 3d itself.

[@Beaver_Monday]

A lot of sakuga animation employs that, during high-fidelity combat scenes where the camera flies around a massive 3D space. Although when it comes to anime, they can also do it without using any 3D assets for the characters. Pretty insane.

If you want to get a 2D shading look on your 3d model without actually drawing, there is a material node in EEVEE render called shader to RGB. It takes the strength of the light hitting it and turns it into a color.

[@farronhart5761]

As a 2D character artist trying to move into 3D somewhat (and being overwhelmed) this is super interesting method u've made here. There are other Blender tutorials that take u step by step to make a doughnut or a house. But this brute force way of sculpting/drawing a face in Blender is a very attractive method of getting into 3D as a 2D character artist like me because i can more directly see how my art could be applicable in 3D immediately instead of imaging how sculpting an unrelated object will help me make build a head and face.

[@monkmichel9477]

I recently did something similar to get better at full body perspective and lighting and I was sick of searching for reference images. Download any free 3d model (preferably in an A or T pose), throw it into Mixamo, do the auto rig in mixamo, export any animation as FBX and combine everything back in Blender. Now you have library of many different poses of that 3d model without having to do the rigging and posing yourself and you can scrub through the animations looking for your perfect shot by positioning your camera and lights. If I simply render that out and put it into a 2d painting app then it feels a bit like cheating when don't build up the image from scratch again and not just use it as a reference, as I am always tempted to simply smudge and paint over the render and I have perfect perspective, light and shadows. So it can be kinda dangerous in that regard, might hamper the learning process. On the other hand tho it might help the learning process that way, depends on how it is used. Love your videos btw!

Thank you for this!

[@monkeykid66]

if people knew their facial anatomy well enough to sculpt it in 3d they would already know how to shade. Shading is all about being able to conceptualize structure mentally as that's the only way to know how the object would interact with light (thus, shading). But this would be useful for scenes with multiple and unusual sources of lighting, how light bounces off of and reflects on surfaces, making the color of one surface reflect on another, chromatic aberration, extreme perspectives etc

One additional tip. In the last 3D drawing example, instead of hiding the sculpting object, you could use the Holdout-shader for it. Then it will be rendered transparent but it will still be there as an invisible entity to block the lines from the backside of the drawing. You need to also check the transparent option in the Render Properties/Film to make this to work. Thank you for the wonderful video.

10:36 there is a better way -> you can set up model as a mask for your lines so everything behind the model disappears with the model

I haven't thought about blender in a long time, and then this showed up in my recommended. I'm so glad it did, this really is like magic! Thanks for showing this!

One of the most informative and highly useful tuts I've seen! Thanks so much!!!

I'm learning Blender for over a year now and certainly was aware of this, but I feel like a lightbulb went 'ding!' in my head. I find it useful to swap Smooth brush with Scrape or Flatten to avoid premature softening of forms. That way you get more pronounced planes, which can later be smoothed out.

I fell asleep after my 12 hour work shift and woke up on this channel. After watching my first video I've become an astronaut capable of navigating around, and through the black hole that has been my "artists block". Thank you for taking the time to help me understand art in a way that makes it fun again ! And quick shoutout to 12 hour work shifts and falling asleep on the couch with youtube on 😆
