Dreams PS4 Tutorial: Basic Character Sculpting

[@Temascos]

Very late to this video, but thank you so much for making it. I've really struggled to even do basic characters and this is a shining light on how to approach it.

[@mr.pendleton7121]

I wish you could get rid of the segmentation in the puppets. Just have it be one model with bendable limbs

you could cover it up any way you want really

[@garrettsmith4034]

Getting into dreams soon and your tutorials are incredibly noob friendly. Thanks for the great content!!!!

[@DreamswithLadylexUK]

If you can think of anything you want covered, I am hoping to make some more beginners tutorials, so let me know what you need.

[@sammaloneNZ]

Thanks for this! So much more informative than the hours of "look, CONNIE WANTS TO-" I don't care I'm an adult just tell me how to use this damn thing

Omfg THIS so much. I love what Mm is trying to accomplish but, fuck me, they make me cringe so hard. In game AND in real interviews

[@miniwolfsbane2407]

1 yr late, but this tutorial helped me put the knee cover on my characters boot after 2 months of failing. However, making muscled male puppets and I'm lost again, but I'll get it. But I want to pinch whoever thought using L1 + x for both attaching AND opening up sculpt mode was a good idea!! Whatever happened to double tap for things?! Making games is harder than it seems. Sooooo grateful for all KZbin tutorials! Thanks again.

[@AraAleluYahuah]

I was about to give up. Now you made me wanna try again.. can yoi go deeper in the character creation basics like this? There is not good basic tutorials like this one. Perhaps do a animal monkey and etc i am getting a headache on how complicated media Molecule makenit to create characters is like they don't want the creator to do then . At least not easy or detailed. And i am a tattoo artist i can tattoo a 3d realistic portrait in 3 hrs but i can even do anything in this tools its frustrating

[@DreamswithLadylexUK]

Its easy when you know how, but starting out it does appear like a massive mountain. You just have to keep practising. Try remixing other peoples characters, seeing how they have made them. It might help the learning process. Animals are harder to do because you have to make animations for their movement, they sometimes have extra legs and tails. There are mannequins in the Dreamiverse to help you start that though. I will look to make another sculpture tut.

How did you select parts when you were painting? I've pressed every button and non of them select body parts

[@DreamswithLadylexUK]

Hover over the part and press L1 +X at the same time. You may need to do this a few times if the part is grouped. Make sure you have spraypaint set to surface stamp and paint away.

Are you using move controllers? I get the concept but I'm having so much harder of a time with the controls and getting things lined up effectively than you seem to be

No, I am using a DS4. It just takes practice I'm afraid.

[@that2amvagueexistentialdread]

@@DreamswithLadylexUK any tips? or about how long did it take before you got comfortable with the controls? It's really frustrating because I can spend like literally 10 minutes just lining up one thing and then smallest movement of the camera moves me like a mile away from the model 😱

Tysm I tried making my first model today and failed hardcore so this was very helpful

[@SarpSerter]

I got this game with high hopes.. but after fiddling it for a bit.. Sculpting and Animating without a move controller is pure torture.. Especially if you are used to doing those things professionally.. Can we not have a mouse and keyboard in this game?

[@DreamswithLadylexUK]

This isnt a PC game. The controls are the PS4 controls. And yes, it takes time to learn the controls, but believe me when I tell you it will suddenly click for you if you keep at it, and then you will wonder why you had a problem before. It took me 3 days to get used to the imp and 3 weeks before I was comfortable sculpting, so just bear with it. It will suddenly make sense.

[@ajnightcrawler]

Great video. Thank you. I do have a question: everytime I stretch the puppet, especially making shorter characters, he stops walking, or he will only move one leg as if he's on a skateboard. I always make sure he is on the stand. Any ideas?

[@alexal-chalaby622]

Adam Quinton I had this problem too for a while. I kept trying to decrease the leg length and move the whole puppet towards the ground to make it shorter, this never worked. The way I got around it was just grabbing the pelvic and moving it down, shortening the legs while keeping it planted on the floor. Hope this helps

[@actionflixhub1253]

Thank youu Lady. Excellent as always^^

[@paulolameiras861]

I really needed something like this: simple and effective. Thanks Lex

[@ShaolinPauly]

Having an issue with changing puppet proportions: even following what you said about dragging it down to meet the floor, it stops above the purple section and still won’t run.

[@DreamswithLadylexUK]

You have to get the feet touching the purple section or it wont run.

[@sheldonsetsuno299]

Every time I try this the muscles be lagging behind the original sculpture

[@sheldonsetsuno299]

This happens when running

[@DreamswithLadylexUK]

You havent scoped in properly so instead of being part of the sculpted body it is part of the general puppet. You need to scope in one more down at least. Keep scoping in until it wont let you any more - then you know you are adding to the part and not the puppet generally.

an we also create allies in our games? So we can make medieval games with an army or can we only create up to 4 players and enemies but no allies who help you in the battle? And if we can, can we give them orders like following us??

[@DreamswithLadylexUK]

People have made armies in Dreams, but not with the mannequin because it is too logic heavy to clone many times as it causes lag and fills the gameplay thermo. Allies can be made to follow and attack enemies. You are limited to probably around 15 before you get any real issues.

[@iwuzabear8241]

I tried following along with you doing the same things you did on my PS4. And I couldn’t do half of the things you did. So frustrating. There has to be an easier way to sculpt in this game. I hope they fix it

[@DreamswithLadylexUK]

There is nothing to fix. Sculpting gets easier with practice, just like the real thing.

[@iwuzabear8241]

Dreams with LadylexUK with all due respect I have an art degree and have sculpted plenty. Let’s not pretend dreams sculpting and real sculpting is the same thing.

[@DreamswithLadylexUK]

With all due respect I have been playing Dreams for over a year, and I am telling you that these tools are pretty great once you get used to them - this is not real sculpting- it is not even digital 3d modelling in the normal sense, this is Dreams. Learn it, practice and you will get better. Or quit now. They are not going to change very much to make sculpting easier for you. This is the state it is in after 10 years work.

[@sirnitrix557]

My characters clothes are following behind him instead of staying attached. How do I fix that?

[@DreamswithLadylexUK]

You havent scoped into the body parts, only the puppet as a whole. You need to make sure your clothes are specifically for a single part of the body, and make sure you are scoped right in when you attach them.

[@sirnitrix557]

Dreams with LadylexUK okayy thank you

[@14kip]

Can you help I’ve done the same as you but my clothes stay still and not follow on the puppet

[@AloofTheDuck]

I think I can help! When placing your clothes you need to group them to their corresponding body parts. For instance, for a shirt you would hold R2 to move it then (while still holding R2) hold L1 and press X while hovering your imp over the body part selected. If done correctly it should group them together and you should be scoped in to the shirt and torso! All of this is explained in the tutorial 'Character Art'. If you have any other questions feel free to ask!

Everything will go grey apart from the bit you are scoped into. When you say cannot apply paint, do you mean the spraypaint? If you have altered the puppets colour using the coat mode or the colour wheel in the tweak menu that will override any spraypaint. I will do a quick vid.

[@ianknight2053]

Dreams with LadylexUK Thank you very much. I’ve followed your video numerous times but missed you ‘Scoping In’ when you painted the puppet. It looks as if you ‘Scoped In’ on different parts of the puppet at the same time, is that correct please? Yes, I was using the spray paint.

[@DreamswithLadylexUK]

Hands are one of the difficult things. As long as you are not someone who has to make everything yourself I would recommend using the hands ready made in the dreamiverse. That is what I do. There are lots to choose from in different styles from low poly to realistic, and most are poseable so you can make them grip weapons etc. Just scope attach the hands to the blue ones, and make the blue ones invisible.

You are not scoping into the body parts far enough. If you just get as far as the puppet they will float - you have to keep scoping in multiple times until you hit the shapes themselves.

Do I have to beat the story mode and do more before the game let's me do that? Menu is a bit confusing in this game. Thank you very much in advance! :)

It sounds like you are working on the wrong arm. Sometimes you can get muddled as to which shape you are controlling, and then it all goes a bit wrong. You cannot change the mirror settings. Its a complete pain but the mirror position is fixed from the first sculpt stamp you do, and in the case of the puppet it is fixed down the center of the original mannequin.

Please, help me! I've tried now for several days, nights and weeks! I am trying to create a knight. I start of with the puppet called "Seamless Black Puppet (female)" or something (sorry about the credit, it's not made by me). I follow this tutorial; clone the torso, make some adjustmenst by blending in some shapes, colouring and making it into a shirt by resizing it. Then I drag it back onto the puppet. When I start the simulation, the torso drops to the floor (?) and the puppet slants to one side. I've tried grouping it together, but I think maybe I'm grouping it with the wrong part? Is there a tutorial on grouping? Scoping in? I've tried making the shirt immovable, but no change -- the torsi plummets to the ground. Sometimes alone, and other times the main torso falls with it. I've been attempting to make the same f'ing knight now for a week, and I always rage-quit because I don't understand the error -- I don't understand why this happens! What am I doing wrongly?

Group? Do you mean scope? They are different. If you make your belt as a separate sculpt then scope it in to your pelvis section it is still a separate object. You do not need to remove it from your sculpt to recolour it. Just scope into it and spraypaint or open its tweak menu and play with the tint.

Then realized I need to go back and recolor the leg part but not the boot, to make identifical white, blue, green, and orange characters for players 1-4. Whenever I scope back in then scope in again to the 2 grouped pieces (the leg and the cylinder boot part) I have to ungroup them to recolor the cylinder, except whenever I oress ungroup it deletes the heel of the foot and all associated bolts and ball joints that make the puppet work. I tried recreating the bolts and joints after fixing my color, but it never turned out the same. No matter how confusing this is I think I learned my lesson and just went with a fully colored boot. I could send pictures or a video and stuff to maybe hepp you understand, but that seems like it'd be too much trouble.

@@KawaiiKirrianna Its hard to say what is going on. I have not seen what you are describing when scoping in a non moveable sculpt . However, did you perhaps make the animations before you scoped in the additional parts? Perhaps you need to re-do the keyframes with the sculpts scoped in.

Hi ladylex, I asked someone about this in grupplegangers video but they directed me to you. I was wondering if and how it's possible to create logic like things using only nodes, wireless and tags/ and or counters. Doing this similar to magnetic keys in Littlebigplanet1. If someone has an example of this it would be appreciated.

[@DreamswithLadylexUK]

I am not sure what you are asking here. What is it you want to do? Activating a chip because another chip is near is simply done with trigger zones or possibly transmitters and receivers, but you are talking about nodes and counters so I am not sure what you need.

been trying to stretch it for an hour on ps4... no luck

[@DreamswithLadylexUK]

Take another look at the video. If you are not able to stretch parts of the body then you have either got into the wrong mode, been using the wrong tool, or have tried to stretch something that is not connected to something else - objects only stretch if they have connectors. Here is another video on stretching that may help dreamskool.wordpress.com/2019/11/29/stretching-sculpts/

Guys I need help, so i made a watch and it wont stay on my character when i go into play mode, what do i do?

You need to make sure you scope into the hand or arm of your player while holding your watch. That is the only part that should be in colour.

Can some one please get this message to Media Molecule, I cant seem to get it to them. Hi :) I have some important info about improvements that needs to be made in Dreams. Improvement 1: When a player goes to delete a creation they made, it automatically wants to delete all creations that creation is in, this is HORRIBLE. Player needs to be able to un-select that which they don't want deleted so it only deletes desired selection. Improvement 2: When player creates object and then saves it as an individual sculpture, The game needs to NOT keep that individual sculpt linked to anything else in area the sculpt was originally created in, as is it does and this is bad, it makes it so if player ever deletes the area the sculpture was originally created in, the game will force you to delete the sculpture that is sitting in it's own save. Improvement 3: Players need to be able to create and save a collection (Not to be confused with other saved collections function) of there own starting setup areas. You know how when a player clicks on create new sculpture and it brings the player into an area to create things in, and all there is to start is a little peach floor. Well instead of this a player could have an area they have created and then saved as startup area for creating. Example: Lets say a player creates an area that looks like a science lab and then they not only save the creation itself, but they also have the option to save it as a starting area for each time they select create new sculpture. P.S. I LOVE DREAMS Well done MM :)

[@pcruz-zd5tc]

Am I missing something everytime I clone the torso and do this it just clips through the doll and falls through the floor even when I group them together?

[@DreamswithLadylexUK]

You dont group them you scope them. Think of grouping as a way of moving things around easier. To get an object to be part of another you have to scope in. Hold the object and scope into the shape or part of the body you want to attach it to. If your torso is falling to the floor then you still have it set to moveable. You need to untoggle that in its tweak menu or it will just fly off after scoping it in.

[@pcruz-zd5tc]

@@DreamswithLadylexUK Is that when you hold onto the object then hold L1 and press X? Cause if so I tried that and its still falling, perhaps I am somehow accidentally undoing it?

[@DreamswithLadylexUK]

If the object is falling that means it is moveable, otherwise it would just float where you put it. So, you need to open its tweak menu and untoggle moveable. Then scope it in. This should solve your problem.

In normal mode everything is grey except for the part you are scoped into. If your puppet is grey you have not scoped in with L1 +X far enough.

Does anyone know how to get a scoreboard to work???

[@DreamswithLadylexUK]

They are a nightmare, but yes I have managed to get a scoreboard to work. the instructions are in the hints for the gadget. Basically you need to send your score to a score modifier which then sends the score to a score gadget (make sure the names are the same) (I recommend you constantly update that throughout the game - there is a tweak button for that. When you are ready to post the score send a pulse to the post score input in the score gadget. You need to put your level in a Dream for it to work, and the Dreams must be launched to public or private.

@@DreamswithLadylexUK thats what i was doing and it wasn't working but i just check my level again and its working now. Thank you anyway for such a quick response!

Oops. The fix for that is to clone the large piece a few times and remove different bits on each clone so that you have smaller multiple pieces that you can scope to the right places.
