How to Make Ornaments Really Quickly | Blender

[@Mocorn]

This video finally made the whole Dyntopo thing make sense. I've been at this thing for close to six hours now and I'm up to 2.1 million faces at this point. I've accidentally sculpted ears, legs, hearts, olympic swimmers, creepy fingers and tons of other stuff. This is hilariously fun! Thank you Grant, you're the best =)

[@chavoloto]

great video!!! people like you is why I love the blender community! thanks you!

[@grabbitt]

Thanks 😃

[@vyrusnationgaming1999]

Grant has a great Blender Beginners guide on Udemy. I took the course and I'm about finished with it. I went from a noob at blender to actually feeling comfortable navigating and making my own artwork. I still learn new tools all the time but I'm getting ever closer to game development. Soon I'll be off to Unreal Engine where I can really make some magic happen. Grant I'm glad I picked up your course and I also picked up the unreal course that you do. I can't wait to dive into it.

Wow didn't think it be that simple

[@grabbitt]

Yes it's surprisingly easy :)

[@praveenkumar-vx3kw]

i never thought you would done with this sculpting tool. it is really a one of the best tool in blender

[@a_vin7644]

Really nice to do such sculpting without any purpose. Kind of meditation. Our brain likes to see in chaos around us something symmetry. Tnx for tut.

[@scTBoNEZ]

Looks really ancient and mysterious. Want to try it out Grrr

[@sunayama4650]

I never really thought about sculpting ornaments. It seemed like a lot of work for a bunch of small details. So instead, I'd work with curves and apply bevel, screw, and array modifiers. Then for small details, I'd use a displacement map. Now that I know how it can be done through sculpting, I want to give it a try. Though I'm curious... What if the object isn't cylindrical? What if it's a fancy clock? What would you suggest for making the task easier?

[@pmark2770]

Finally I know a way to mirror on an axis. I actually asked that on discord a while ago I’m happy I know the answer. Thanks Grant🙂

[@grabbitt]

no problem sorry i missed you asking :)

[@hannahleeabes3521]

@@grabbitt does this work with pivot points and origins?

[@Seetelman]

Wow! It's really simple and amazing to do such structure in so little time! Thx for redirecting me here:D

[@grabbitt]

no problem :)

[@jeffg4686]

Never seen the radial symmetry used before. very cool, thx

[@grabbitt]

Thanks :)

[@ArtwithAmarBrisco]

Another straight forward one man you are knocking these out like a champ. Never used radial symmetry but I have in 2d so I would think it would be the same here nice share and good job here.

[@grabbitt]

Thanks 😃

[@yavalang]

Oh man, I follow most of your tutorials, they are so great, thank you!

Thanks :)

Nice, learned some new things. Thank you!

[@animgreat2719]

I've learned a very interesting technique in this. Very nice video!

[@grabbitt]

Thanks 😃

[@astron0myz]

Thank you so much. I am a roblox developer, and I have recently been pondering on if I should learn blender or not. This convinced me, I am getting a PC for myself very soon. And then I will be learning.

[@simoncodrington]

Great tip on using radial symmetry, wouldn't of even thought about doing that

[@grabbitt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@RoseKindred]

5 minutes... while I spent 2 hours trying to make a water drop that doesn't have spiked edges everywhere, and I still failed lol. Thanks for the video.

[@Numocron]

This is an awesome Blender tutorial Grant Abbitt. Well done. :)

[@grabbitt]

Thanks again :)

[@Numocron]

@@grabbitt You're very welcome. :)

[@ViniciusNegrao_]

Great tutorial on the shape! I was super interested in the texturing of the model, how did you manage that?

[@grabbitt]

Just a simple procedural texture

[@ViniciusNegrao_]

@@grabbitt Awesome! I see that you have some tuts on it, I'll check them out later, thanks man! You're great

[@tsup2]

@@grabbitt can you make a video on how to do said procedural texture? because radial texture paint isn't a thing, and I really need to learn how to do procedural texturing.

[@cabreram.4734]

Hellow, excuse my still begginerness but, do you think 2.9 Multiress modifyer could be safer to used instead of Dinotipo?

[@grabbitt]

yes for some things

[@yezzzsir]

Great tips here Grant. The process of where & when to turn off dyno topo has been really confusing to me this month, this short video has helped me understand that. I'll check out the vase sculpt now but in case it isn't there, I noticed on your potion sculpt you shrink wrapping onto your sculpt. is this a way of retopo-ing for uv unwrapping? A tips video on your reasons for it as well as that process would be a great help. Thanks again.

[@grabbitt]

Thanks yes i talk about this in my how i create armor video and my retopology video :)

[@yezzzsir]

Thanks I'll be going over them a few times till it sinks in.

[@lukajovanovic6346]

at 1:56 what are you clicking to twist?

[@digitalhouse6969]

I was doing all this single handedly without the z thing for months omg how many hours i would have saved if i watched this

[@fergusst]

Can’t really seem to make normal maps from that model to decimated versions using the cage method, but very good tutorial!

[@imatree4015]

With that symmetry tool thing you can make something look cool without even trying. Can’t wait till it’s full reales:D.

[@grabbitt]

Yes it's available in 2.79 as well

[@imatree4015]

Grant Abbitt I didn’t know that, thanks so much.

[@frankyouandgoodnight.1423]

Hmmmm, this gives me a few ideas for usage, thanks mate

[@TheKevphil]

I recently saw that when Masking, Blender offers a "Curve" (Bezier) Tool. Is it possible to _draw_ a stroke similarly?

[@grabbitt]

yes i believe so

[@iNeeDzv]

Which the best way to reduce the polycount of this for game asset?

[@grabbitt]

Probably decimate modifier

[@KepoLirik]

love u grant master ahhaaha

[@mr.breadobamagames5221]

hey um so blender doesnt let you ctrl 5 in dyntopo anymore so how would someone do this or maybe it just isnt working for me but every time i do this the shape just becomes a square

[@grabbitt]

You do it before dyntopo

[@gxplay2270]

How did you do smoothing in 3:34? Please answer

[@grabbitt]

Shade smooth

[@vazak11]

Very interesting, thanks!

[@cabreram.4734]

My curves don't look ok since I am on a mouse 🖱 but don't know if the smooth stroke option is all I need? There must be something else... Still not looking quite curvy

[@grabbitt]

very tricky with a mouse

[@mo7sin711]

what was he pressing to smooth the sculpt around 3:52 ?

[@grabbitt]

Hold down shift

[@AxisAnimations]

hello, am using cinema 4d since 2009 for modeling and motion graphics, but now i like to switch to Blender, any advice or good tutorials for "animation - sculpting - modeling and rendering) please ? also you have a great sculpting videos but most of them are time-laps, also where i can get 2.8 shortcuts as PDF ? Thanks in advanced :)

[@grabbitt]

Check my website for free intro courses. 😃

[@salnellen1381]

This looks like a great video but it seems that as soon as I decided to try blender it’s an updated 4.0 and very few of the older videos show the same keys as many of these functions have been moved somewhere else. I’m about to give up as I only have so many days in my life.

[@grabbitt]

Yeah it moves pretty fast. There's so much development. Generally interface wise it's not changing too much now

[@salnellen1381]

@@grabbitt I watch a lot of blender tutorial videos and they are a great help and basically the functions are the same but for the things I’m trying to do as soon as I get to one pivotal part the key is moved and I have no clue where it is. So that’s a roadblock. By the time I figure out how to do something, I’ve lost my momentum and forget what I did to get to that point in the first place ! Clearly repetition makes me remember these functions but I can never complete a project because of changes. But I wake up every morning and think I’m gonna get it today! I know I’ll figure this out. I want to make 3d printed objects and go further than tinker cad and this is the program for me because it’s free! Thanks for the tutorials. Yours are great because you narrate them and that’s very helpful instead of fast moving videos that only show hot keys on the bottom which is hard to keep up with. I prefer to learn the tabs first before I get fully acquainted with the hot keys. I won’t give up yet!

[@lennartvandermeulen7611]

Wouldn't you be able to get the base mesh faster with the screw modifier?

[@grabbitt]

i dont think so actually because building the shape like this gives me more control, in my opinion, for quick changes :) but it's whatever you are happy with

[@lennartvandermeulen7611]

@@grabbitt yeah, that makes sense

[@pixelmaaz5032]

Love it

[@prashantvyascg9499]

Really lovely

[@grabbitt]

Thanks :)

[@vyrusnationgaming1999]

In terms of detail level you shouldn't make such dramatic jumps in your detail level. You should work up by like 10 at a time maybe 15-20 if you get into finer details. If you go too high you might crash blender. It's good to ratchet up in increments and make sure everything is the way you want it when you move to a new level of detail.

[@RedaHaskouri]

i like this video

[@LordBax]

Whenever I try this the symmetry is lost after only a few strokes. I'm using a drawing tablet and no matter what I do (even small soft strokes) I lose symmetry almost immediately.

[@grabbitt]

Not sure why that would be

[@LordBax]

@@grabbitt Thanks for the reply. I figured it out. It was the rake setting on the snake hook tool. I noticed on your video it was set to zero whereas mine was set to 1.0

just go to 1/2 a million and it will still look ok or separate the object out
