How to Colour Your Sculpts - Blender 2.9

[@shiva_mahto]

As a beginner, i feel like your videos are literally holding my hand and showing me "see this is how stuff works in blender". Thanks for the awesome content. I have very small request tho, please make series on a Weapon maybe a Glock or any Rifle. THANK YOU!!!

[@ravenskin2806]

that what i like in his video

[@VeryBlueBot]

haha thats a very specific request :D But all jokes aside, That would be great. Some hard surface tutorials on weapon would be amazing Also same as Shiva, feeling like a kid following a mentor :) keep it up

[@shiva_mahto]

@@VeryBlueBot haha i know but the reason i requested a weapon bc it can work as foundation, if you can make one rifle you can make all of them. And we've already covered basics of Hard Surface Modeling.

[@VeryBlueBot]

@@shiva_mahto Ok I think I found those - You mean the once under "Beginner Exercises" ? they are not under a playlist so a bit harder to find

[@shiva_mahto]

@@VeryBlueBot yeah...we got tutorial for hard surface knife, a rifle can be a really good addition to that series.

[@EleonMythos]

Grant Abbit I want to thank you. I have so much to say from the inspiration you give me to the satisfaction you allow me to achieve my making my small creations. My own worlds. But alas, it is too much and I don't want to bother anyone with it. I hope I can make something one day, with everything all of you taught me and make you proud.

[@swiftcreations]

You saved me! I thought I would have to hand paint every rock in my scene, thank you so much for the nodes!

[@bryansailer5927]

This was very informative for those of us wanting to learn ore about the procedural method for coloring our sculpts.

[@maryamsamadi4714]

Incredibly useful! Because you explained each node's purpose in a beginner-friendly way and showed us how each node affects the overall texturing. Not everyone does that. Thank you.

[@blendervisual5419]

I love the way the tutorial is, it is straightforward. We will love to see more. The first tutorial I watched from your channel help me alot.

[@DvirElisha]

Nice one. 1. I think you should set the lights before dealing with shading. 2. You skipped the part where you separated the face from the hair. 3. On the very last seconds, checking the Shadow catcher turned your plane to transparent. It happen on my side too.

[@BelTwitex]

The one and only has answered my requests. Thanks a lot

[@SamReevesWrites]

You certainly have a gift for explaining complex techniques in ways that we can grasp. When I painted my first sculpt, it looked like it was done by someone who didn't know how to use an airbrush. I am definitely going to try the color ramp way. Thank you!

[@frank34443]

Grant, thanks a bunch for doing these videos! I feel like I am well on my way to building the skills I need to bring my game ideas to life, and it's because these videos make 3D modelling so accessible! Really appreciate it!

[@miimstudiox]

I was able to finish it even for the first time sculpt with a very polite and kind explanation. And I was nervous because it was my first time coloring with nodes too. But I enjoyed it because it was easy to understand and explained slowly. Also, I was impressed that I could change colors and tones more quickly than with brush paint. Thank you so much for always making great videos🥰

[@grabbitt]

That's great!

[@anssisalonen7990]

For those who get error on adding Ao node. Switch to Cuda in render preference. Optix doesn't support Ao yet, so Cuda rendering is preferred if you want to add Ao to your project.

[@Draknark]

Ctrl + shift + click Made me subscribe. This is really helpful! Using nodes to color something is hard for me. Now I kinda understand the basics on this video.

[@rbale2]

As usual, really great video Grant, thanks!

[@Unicycleskill24]

I have no idea why I haven't heard about Decimate until now, super helpful!

Hello grant, i started your course, and i have to say you are a wonderful teacher so far loved every second of it, i hope to see a more advanced course in the future

[@otonashi-san9403]

I want to thank you very much , your videos was the main reason for me to understand and learn blender , I can say that I strongly recommend your channel as a hope for very beginners to learn blender in a very VERY comfortable way .... I wish I can support you but I don't have a payment card .. If I get it soon .. I will participated in your payment courses .... Again , THANK YOU FOR EXISTING IN MY LIFE .

thanks for your kind words :)

[@geri4367]

Are you planning on doing a Retopo video anytime soon? I'd really like to see one of those :D

[@grabbitt]

i'll probably put something together

[@TheInternetwatcher]

Oh man this was so much fun! Now I need to learn how to texture paint, I mean I know a little but I need to watch your texture painting playlist to really gain a firmer grasp and make some interesting characters. This is a great first step though, so many ideas running through my head now. Though I need to finish going through the rest of the sculpting playlist first, looking forward to the dragon!

[@roeyo99]

Thank you for this video. Like always, you explain the idea and how to execute it very well.

[@grzeskowebazgroy9845]

[@matejkadlec6323]

Hey, can u please explain me how to colour one object, wich is sculpt so has many faces, with more than one color? Like here you colored beard and hair with light grey and skin of wizzard's head is colored by skinny color...but it is one object. HOW?

[@grabbitt]

i prefer to separate the objects but you can use vertex painting

[@DarkDiaspora]

Brilliant Grant thank you kindly for your good work

[@khanyakubheka1020]

Hey Grant Abbitt, I've never felt so grateful to have your content around to teach me blender. I kind of need or a favour or and idea for you. Could you make a tutorial on how to sculpt the whole body? You've done tutorials on the head but now I'm just stuck on the body and don't even know what to do anymore. Could you maybe make a tutorial on the legs, torso, back and arms? Thanks a lot for your tutorials. I really appreciate!

Hi Thanks, ur videos help a lot... Can u make video on sewing or making suit like superhero suit or something or putting texture on a particular area of a suit like plastic type shine...

[@dantero4701]

I really love your videos! :) I have a question, I would like to make 3d models for sale as a small side income (during my freetime when off work), do the buyers require your 3d model to be created with specific softwares? For example like, you made a 3d plant or any in-game vegetation using Blender 2.8, but let's say the company runs their game using Maya, is my product considered usable to them? (I just know that most gaming company requires people with Maya skills), or must I make the 3d model using Maya in order for them to be able to use in their game/company? *PS I'm new to design field xD , super blur with these

[@grabbitt]

check out my blog post on selling 3d models :)

[@CaptainPanick]

Wow, the Gnome tutorials was just awesome, thanks man, your tutorials are extremely good! I made something that doesn't look completely horrible (to my eyes). I did however make a pretty big mistake and modelled the beard from the main "head" object so I can't assign a different material to it. So I have to decide whether to add a beard or turn my current "skin beard" in to a normal chin, which I think I might end up doing, hehe.

[@xsolaris42]

lol literally just done that. As a work-around, I ended up setting a vertex group for the part that I considered to be the "face" and coloured that in a "skin colour" & left the rest as "white hair" xD

[@anuei7434]

Thanks!! This is of great help.

[@AndrewShestopalov]

@Grant Abbitt That is awesome. Thanks a lot. A little question here. Can you please extend this guide as an example to get final textures ready for a game engine like Unity. So in the end of this awesome guide you will be able to get Albedo, Occlusion, normal (if it is possible) maps.

I am grateful for this guide and the captions, very clear to a deaf Blender beginner! I have a question where I can learn about how to paint seperate colors on the wizard's body, because he got beard and skin color on one geometry. I am searching for a guide about painting several materials on one object. I am avoiding online paid course, because they never add captions to their videos. I really wish they had captions like your video :) Thanks again!

I will talk about that in my dragon series soon

very good - i learned from this!

[@CertifiedGameDev]

Hey Grant going thru the video, great tutorials as always. When I add the pointiness node it doesn't give me any 'edge' info, the color is really just washed across the whole thing. Is because I didnt make my edges strong enough during the sculpting process?
