For people that are familiar with Blender, this has a ton of good workflow tips. YanSculpts is a god damn powerhouse of a sculptor. The only suggestion I have for others is while manually painting highlights and shadows on a model look fantastic, if you are intending to use a model for animation you could use modifiers to get a similar effect. Else it looks odd to have statically painted highlights and shadows on a moving model with ever changing light sources.

[@CenterSargE]

Hmmm, modifiers like what?

You are so amazing, man. Really makes me want to stop playing videogames and focus more on studying Blender on my very limited free time.

[@smeagolsings]

its pretty much what im doing. My only game time is my stream and playing Overwatch with the wife. The rest of my free time goes to learning blender.

[@lucasbittencourt8290]

@@smeagolsings I hear that, man. Between working, finishing college, learning a new language, going through WebDev and DevOps bootcamps, the only time that I have is to play something on my PS4, or League of Legends with my wife. The only way for me to squeeze some Blender studying in is if I take away some PS4 time, haha.

[@smeagolsings]

@@lucasbittencourt8290 I think the worst part is is that i was starting to get comfortable with Maya 6 years ago when my student edition expired. Blender looked really rough 6 years ago so I didn't really want to make the switch fearing a down grade. I wish I had stuck with it. So now i'm learning from square one again. But i do remember some of the theory i learned while working through tutorials. Tough sculpting is wholly new to me.

[@pomi1298]

how does this "remesh" thing work where you merge the body parts? is it an addon? the way you merge everything together and model the clothes and stuff makes it look so easy but i have no clue how you do it so smoothly. and where do you get that rig from?

[@incediumignis]

blender's remesh only joins parts when they are islands of the same object, if you look on the top right you say have torso sphere and lower body sphere if you right click both and join them together into one object it allows for the remesher to do its thing (it comes with blender). You could also use constant detail dyntopo which allows you to create new topology so you dont have to create a new mass for each part, but its laggy sometimes and it is a change in workflow. edit 1 : also remeshing gives you an option for both quality(poly count) which you can check with control + r (i think) and it also gives you an option of removing poles and keeping the volume intact ( basically uniform topology and same object shape), as well as smooth shading which, well makes it smoother really. On top of that he makes clothes by splitting the mesh into the areas he needs by selecting topology he doesnt need and pressing H in edit mode which stands for hide ( alt h to unhide) this allows him to pick the mesh he wants and duplicate+extrude it outwords(or solidify with the modifier). Then he applies a pure subdivision(to support the mesh so it doesnt lose structure when subdividing) and then a catmul clark subdiv so the mesh obtains more detail to sculpt on.

[@J0J0155]

Look up the donut tutorial, or the Anvil tutorial... or the sword tutorial... go from there... you just have to wing it... best way to learn is by copying what they do on the tutorial, but also give it some ideas from your own thoughts... make the donut have chocolate icing or something... make the sword have a jewel on the base... etc.

How are the spheres you add going from low-poly to high-poly as you're sculpting them? Are you remeshing between cuts or somehow using dynotopo?
