I gave current Blender a 45 minute try to get a feel for it compared to like 10 years ago, and I definitely get how there's so many new 3d indie games out now. This competes very well with those paid softwares. Blender is awesome.

[@Noggi_3D]

Puberty is over. It's a full grown adult software now. :D

[@gonthyalavishalchandan1193]

​@@Noggi_3D i see what you did there "adult software" for 3D "indie" games. 😂💦

[@ZamiGami_]

This turned out so good! Armor modeling is something I'd love to see covered more in depth, sorry to hear poly modeling isn't your cup of tea, I personally love it!

[@Noggi_3D]

Thank you. I'll probably do more armor modeling in the future, but I need breaks in between. :D

[@MrGATOR1980]

@@Noggi_3D Hi does that Blender creses and solidifies, export into highpolys for baking in ex. substance or it's just magick that only live in blender ? :)

[@christiano9743]

I love the result of this one. Im always looking to improve my sculpting skills and this video motivated me a lot.

[@KennysArts]

DUUDE!! This video was awesome, especially loved your editing, great final results

[@Noggi_3D]

Thank you! :)

[@jakejake6029]

love your content, it helps me a lot to improve my skill in 3D character modeling whether that hard surface or organic modeling such as human or robot, thanks

Awesome! Makes me happy to know that. :)

Thank you. :)

[@briancunning423]

Great video. Have you done a video on retopology? The softwrap add-on looks like witchcraft.

[@Noggi_3D]

I have 2 videos on Retopology. I'll definitely do a video on Softwrap in the future. :)

[@styloo_]

very coooooooooooool ending broooo , the best one so far hahaha nice editing

[@Noggi_3D]

Thank you. :D

[@Ironpants57]

Awesome!! Turned out great! ---- Hey Noggi, try out the Data Transfer Modifier instead of the Transfer Weight Operator. The Data Transfer Modifier is great for multiple things as you can see in the modifier. The cool thing is that the Data Transfer is not destructive, unless you apply it. Then all you need to do is change the body's weights without needing to touch the armor again. Example: -- For this instance, just parent the armor parts to the armature like normal. More or less needs the same armature parent as the source object. # Then add a Data Transfer Modifier to the armor. Make sure this modifier is set before Subdiv, Solidify, and Bevel modifiers. # Now set object source like the Transfer Weight Operator. # Toggle in the modifier. Vertex Data and Vertex Groups in Vertex Data # Hit the [Generate Data Layers] button if you need to add more vertex groups from the source.

[@Noggi_3D]

Oh interesting! I've never used that modifier before, but it sounds like I should start. :D

[@Ironpants57]

@@Noggi_3D Data transfer is definitely an awesome modifer that most people don't know or know how to use. Once you get the grasp of the modifier, then you'll have some future tutorial content 😉😉.

[@petit-pedestre2334]

Awesome result as always! How easy would be the hair to animate? Can you just use bones or a lattice + weight painting with the hair particles system? :)

[@Noggi_3D]

I think you can parent them to bones, but I haven't tried that yet. :)

[@brandonjacksoon]

Awesome!

great work! i am trying to make a character for a game and i want to make a suit kinda like hers, so could you maybe do an indept tutorial on how to do it?

I might cover armor modeling more in the future, if it doesn't kill me. :D

[@alanez0120]

I got a question, which add-ons do you have?

[@gart2922]

Great Video. Love that you use softwarp for this. I would love it if you want to share some tips on using it. Is it really good for wrapping?

I can't live without it now. I'll do a video on it in the future. :)

@@Noggi_3D me too, but I still mess up on the eyelid shape and lips shape. I think it because I tried to softwarp two diffrent style model.

Hey man, I am trying to get a new PC, Is RTX 2080 Ti working well for you?, I am sorta undecisive when it comes to which GPU I need. Also btw awesome sculpt tutorial

[@Noggi_3D]

Thanks. I had a GTX 1060 before and compared to that I can't complain. I haven't had any issues because of my GPU yet. :)

[@0Brincess]

please i need more explanation and details on how you did auto retopology!?

[@antoniomarchante457]

He used and addon called softwrap, you use a standard head with good topology and the addon adapts the shape to your sculpted head and allows you to tweak it, somehow like a shrinkwrap modifier but more intuitive and with more tweak options. I used the head example but basically you can do it with any mesh, you adapt a good topology mesh to your sculpt, like if it was a cloth that you put on it and can easily adapt it and tweak it

[@ARDIZsq]

This is so amazing! Surprised you don't like poly-modeling. That's almost exclusively what I do. XD

[@Noggi_3D]

It's just too fiddly and mathematical for me, haha. :D

[@jayagusto9409]

How did you attach the head to the body. I've been doing it with booleans..boolean... and it's definitely not the best way. Thanks.

[@antoniomarchante457]

I think he just made sure both loops where the same amount of vertices and bridge looped them.

[@AhmedFromMS]

It's the first time I have a question after watching your tutorials!, how do I know how many faces I need to retopologize my sculpted models to work properly in mobile games?, cuz I'm a little bit confused about that!, and THANKS.

[@Noggi_3D]

That's very specific depending on your use case. I would probably research the average poly count and shoot for that. :)

[@AhmedFromMS]

​ @Noggi Thanks man I appreciate that!, but what if it's a battleground game, and the count of every map players is 100 probably, so is it good that every single player character "polycount" is 5000 faces "Quads" which I guess it's not right and it's going to impact the performance!, or it isn't?, also compared with map details!.

[@shivateja9417]

Nice ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks. :)

[@migrantmemoirs]

Bro, I am facing problem with remesh, when I applied it , it applied on entire character and destroy the shape , how to fix it?

[@Noggi_3D]

Can you CTRL + Z back to before you applied the modifier? If not you could check the Auto-Saves to recover it. File > Recover > Auto Save :)

[@Jellybeancracker]

Did you retopologize after sculpting?

[@Noggi_3D]

Yes. :)

[@Poreduess]

Can you do Doomslayer wielding super shotgun ? Please, pretty please.

it looks great in the final result only thing i can see that stands out is that the hair (only on the ponytail) looks like spaghetti or something

I didn't want to add too much hair, so I made it a little thicker. You can see it the most in the ponytail. :)

[@fart-eater]

See you on the other site?

[@toapyandfriends]

Your colors and designs are like the best in the world you should practice adding wrinkles and pores and make these really realistic that'd be cool to me...then you could command more money for these...you should sell em anyways....and provide....a link to a yt Tutorial that will teach somebody how to make wrinkles and pores with the download that you sell so people with one step...can get a $300 model for $30... If you're going for stylistic just practice matching yansculpts a little bit better and you'll be just as good as he is with but with better colors and style... Just looking out for your man you're right on the edge of being like one of the best ever

[@Noggi_3D]

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. :)

[@toapyandfriends]

@@Noggi_3D Thanks you're already at the point where you can make some serious money with it.... might as well just push it over the edge and get rich cause you're gonna make these anyways for your videos you should put these up for sale on your patreon so people can download them who watch your videos... Then we get something and then you're supported and keep on having the strength to create more...

I think ZBrush and Blender are fairly similar. You can also transition slowly so that the shock isn't as intense. :)
