Fox boy - Blender character sculpting timelapse

[@zacharyjones5398]

Never seen an artist keep their sculpts so clean. Impressive.

[@RoseRedTiger]

thanks =D, I've figured out a pretty good technique with remesh

[@zacharyjones5398]

@@RoseRedTiger Personally I always just use multires. Never really could get that to work for me.

[@RoseRedTiger]

@@zacharyjones5398 multires really only works if you have a pretty detailed base mesh to work off of, since it had a set topology. If you're doin something more organic with details like fur you'll quickly run into really badly stretched parts.

[@zacharyjones5398]

@@RoseRedTiger Never really considered that. Multires is non destructive. I should try more organic sculpting. Thanks for the response!

[@RoseRedTiger]

definitely give it a go, it might take a lil bit to adjust, but it's really helpful for sculpting

[@ollik6134]

Hey there! Really awesome video and learned a lot about sculpting and creating characters through it specifically. I had a question though! One thing that seems useful that I couldn't figure out on my own was how you merged the fur with the neck and were able to sculpt them together. I merged mine with control+j but I dont get what you did past that, did you boolean it? At 8:57, I see you draw some kind of box around it and then adjust the power or sensitivity of something and they seemed to suddenly be merged together, still learning and just really curious what you did there, I'm working on a proto model for a friendo as a gift and just as a creative outlet. I also saw you say that you keep it smooth by slowlu upping the resolution and i was curious how you were doing that, are you using a subdivision modifier or multiresolution modifier to do so? Sorry for all the questions! >.< just very new to the sculpting side of things love sourcing information from other people with experience. Thank you so much! I love the videos and have been binging through them recently! You do such a great job!

[@RoseRedTiger]

XD it's actually all the same thing, voxel remesh, in sculpt more press shift+r to show a grid and adjust the resolution, then use ctrl+r to remesh, that merges all overlapping loos parts together and gives everything a uniform resolution

[@ollik6134]

@@RoseRedTiger thank you so so much! This was super helpful and I realized why my remesh wasn't working before XD I really appreciate the response! And I hope you have a really great day!

[@MegaRissa19]

can you do a video one day about your brush settings? Im trying to understand how your sculpting comes out so smooth

[@RoseRedTiger]

I'm just using default brush settings for this one, the smoothness comes from smoothing out regularly and very gradually upping the resolution

[@onionjedi]

@@RoseRedTiger What do you use to up the resolution? Subdivision modifier? What are the starting settings for subdivision when you begin the sculpt? Every time I follow vids step by step, I seem to be missing something and everything looks choppy and low res. :D

[@njdotson]

@@onionjedi they might be using dynamic topology which would maybe help with that. You can try turning on the dyntopo setting and change the detail size and maybe it would be smoother

[@RoseRedTiger]

@Luka @njdotson no I'm using remesh, shift+r to set the resolution and ctrl+r to remesh

This is amazing!! Rose, sorry may I ask, how you do the painting again?

How can I set it up? It's possible?. Will be great to have a guidance from you on this! Still AMAZING JOB! Beautiful! Thanks for the content .

smoothing is by holding shift everything else is figure out as you go

[@anazlem4314]

I use Zbrush for sculpting but I don't know if it's your professional skills or the program itself but the video was so smooth. Like I don't know how to explain it but, have you ever used Zbrush? If yes, which one do you recommend? Blender or Zbrush?

[@RoseRedTiger]

Thanks =) I've been using Zbrush a bit recently, and I'd say it's a bit better for sculpting than blender, but blender is catching up, and it has the advantage that it also has the rendering tools and such in there too. I think I'd recommend Blender just cause it's free, Zbrush if good if you're already making money with 3d

[@maskedgamer7565]

I'm new to sculpting and I want to learn it. I just got a drawing tablet but I have no idea how to get started with sculpting. There are alot of following along tutorials like the donut but not too many following along tutorials about sculpting. Can someone help me with that? I know what all the brushes do, I just have no idea how I would hav to start with character modeling.

[@RoseRedTiger]

it's hard to make a follow along tutorial for sculpting because it's not a straight forward, step by step process. It's very organic and you just kinda figure stuff out as you go and see which brushes work for what you're trying to do. I'd recommend starting by just adding in a few objects with and making the rough shape of what you wanna sculpt then merging them together (join with ctrl+j then remesh in sculpt mode, shift+r and ctrl+r ) and just trying stuff out and seeing how it goes. also watching timelapses from different people (for both blender and zbrush) if quite useful to get an idea of hoe different people approach different parts of the process

[@wiczus6102]

Why not make a copy with merged hair and one without merge and then apply bump map? It'd remove the creases and it would retain the usability of the model.

[@RoseRedTiger]

the whole thing is a high-poly sculpt there wasn't any usability in the first place, so baking isn't worth the hassle

[@appy8808]

how do you do the painting in sculpt mode? i have the latest version (2.93) yet the paint brush doesnt show up

So it was a little hard to understand but what does she use for the fur? Can someone please give me a step by step or send me a video tutorial on what she just did for the fur?

[@RoseRedTiger]

I don't think there's much in terms of tutorials for this workflow, but basically: I add an object then merge down everything into 1 vertex. then I add a subdivision surface modifier, a skin modifier, and another subdivision surface modifier. from there you can extrude the vertex into the shape you want for the hair, and use shift+a to adjust the thickness of each segment. duplicate and adjust that object to make more hairs or and you can add a mirror modifier (with the mirror object set to the head) to mirror the fur across once you're happy with the general shape, apply the modifiers and add more detail in sculpt mode. finally when you want to merge it together with the rest of the head, select everything, join and then in sculpt mode remesh with a really small voxel size
