Its actually both faster and easier to just spawn a round cube and go in to sculpt mode and go to symmetry and add a radial symmetry. So for example if you want a total amount of like 10 creases around the whole pumpkin then set Radial Z to 10 then you can use the crease brushand just make 1 crease and it will automatically repeat it all around the pumpkin so you have 10 creases

[@RyanKingArt]

That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing.

[@Atezian]

Its not a bad idea however pumpkins arent symmetrical

[@peterdesigns]

That's a great point, there's always multiple ways of doing things in blender, this one is pretty cool!

[@razeenag8478]

I am bad at sculpting bro.. but nobody's bad at scaling verts

Man Blender is killing it and all of you independent artists just make it even better by making it so easy to understand. Subscribed sir.

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks for the sub!

Ryan, I have been searching for a long time to find an instructor who makes this work, interesting, fun, and effective. I appreciate the way you stay on point with the instruction. Great job, and thank you again for making me a better artist.

[@RyanKingArt]

This was actually the first ever blender tutorial where I was able to do every single step with no hickups, malfunctions, hardware support issues, crashes, or anything Blender usually does. I'm no expert, 3D is kinda like an emergency solution for me, if I don't find good stock photos to work with, but I do it more and more often, and there's always at least a couple of steps I've no other choice but skip because of something's not working, or the function that has been talked about in the video is just not there, even tough, I refresh the programe regularly, and it's definitelly not a third party stuff. I honestly don't know why is that, but I'm very happy, that this time, everything worked well, just as You said. Thank you for that, Mr! Keep up the good work!

I love how most tutorials utilize every hotkey under the sun, yet they still manually navigate to “save” and “save as” 🥲 Ctrl+s and ctrl+shift+s people. Great tutorial btw, very helpful as using masks and high sub division in sculpt mode was making for an unpleasant vertex count.

Nothing happens when I'm adding a Geometry node with Pointiness and use a Color ramp node with black and orange colors (unlike on 20:20). The pumpkin is totally orange, no black stripes on it. What am I doing wrong? My Blender version is 2.90.1

[@stanislavefanov8688]

I got the point. I was working with Eeve render switched on. Switched to the Cycles and everything worked just perfect. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@RyanKingArt]

Yeah, for some reason the Pointiness feature doesn't work with Eevee. Sorry, I should have mentioned that in the tutorial. Thanks for watching!

Was working on other things and came back to finish the tutorial and forgetting the teaching skills you have; but you texture skills are super on point. The stem looked amazing and it shows to work smarter not harder. Just copy what you've already made and change the node name and properties. Super good work again. I'll be checking out the acorn, apple and honey tutorials next.

Any trick, or another option to get _Pointless - Coloramp_ node to work in eevee? Edit. I found the way on my own throught the another tutorial. Just bake the Pointness in Cycles to the Image Texture, which you use then as a texture inside eevee.

[@RyanKingArt]

Yes that works. You could also use the ambient Occlusion node instead.

[@h4nv]

[@eonikanimation]

5:45 If you press 7 on the number pad (Not necessary but it makes it easier) and click the edges that are pointier then the won't go into another edge (It's hard to explain but hopefully you know what I mean).

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks! 👍‍

[@tramoman5659]

Hello! When i came to the sculpting part my brush inly sculpts on vertexes, how can i fix this

[@RyanKingArt]

Yes, in sculpt mode you can only sculpt vertices, because vertices make up any mesh object. So make sure your object is very high detail, so you have lots of geometry to work with.

[@TruthSurge]

don't understand why you added a denoise node instead of just set your denoiser in the render tab at right. ? Nice idea using the topology and scaling to get the ribbing.

[@RyanKingArt]

I find that the denoise node renders faster.

[@TruthSurge]

@@RyanKingArt Well, I use optix (my GPU) to denoise during real render (i don't denoise my viewport at all for speed). Using the GPU for denoise instead of openimage made it way faster during the denoise phase so I wonder which denoising option the node uses. ? Well, I'm happy with my setup so I guess I'll keep using the optix setting in the side panel. thx for the tuts!!

[@Sherrycake]

at 21:00 i cannot find the Mix RGB node? only a Mix Shader but that one doesn't have the option to "add" both together (using blender 3.5)

[@Sherrycake]

ok found it, it is called "Mix Color"

[@RyanKingArt]

yeah, blender was updated and they changed it to the mix color. thanks for watching!

[@coreyfairbanks7374]

Watching, then I'm going to do it. Thanks for the tutorial. Also a question, when should subsurf be applied, and when should it not be applied and just left alone? And should all modifiers be placed above the subsurf in the menu?

[@RyanKingArt]

I would say, only apply modifiers if you have to. But most of the time, you should not apply them. Just keep them on the object. Thanks for watching! 👍‍

[@Theraloss]

For some reason the first Bump node (the one inverted) is not displayed (I don't even get the preview when Ctrl+Shift+Click it) although it's connected to the color ramp into the "Height" socket. Anyway thank you for the great tutorial!

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks for watching! Hmm, I don't know why your not able to preview that first Bump.

[@fatihdagc7206]

Hello i am watching for blender 4 and can you tell me what node is the "Viewer' because when i press Ctrl+shift+left click its not coming. I cant find that node. I did add on btw still same.

[@RyanKingArt]

in the new blender update they removed the viewer node, but the node wrangler still works the same. so just ignore the viewer node.

[@gruby2324]

I don't understand how the viewer node appears. I do Shift + Ctrl + LMB, click on the Voronai Texture node, and it only flips between the Distance, color and position connecting into the material output. Any advice?

[@RyanKingArt]

the viewer node is no longer in Blender, but the node wrangler still works exactly the same.

[@user-xb6nq7et3d]

On Blender 3.3 don't work viewer, what should I do?

[@RyanKingArt]

the node wrangler still works, but they just removed the viewer node. but it still works the same.

[@Aki-mp8dt]

When I try to use the geometry nodes, it doen't function. it make one uniform color

[@TheAdrianamichelle]

Do you have a screen shot of how the nodes are connected? I am getting prett confused around 23minutes or so connecting all the nodes properly.

[@TheAdrianamichelle]

Also after inverting my pumpkin, I can't seem to get it back to normal.

Make sure that the settings on the Voronoi texture are set to, 3d, F1, and Euclidean.

[@fredrikkindahl]

I love this tutorial, thanks a lot. I thought I'd try to continue it by solidifying the pumpkin and boolean out some carvings, but then the pointiness stuff got wild as one could expect. Is there an easy way to alter the material to make a mask to get rid of the most of the darkening around the eyes and nose?

[@RyanKingArt]

Not that I know of. You could try texture painting it instead of using the pointiness value.

[@RyanKingArt]

Glad you enjoyed the tutorial!

[@dianalog947]

I can't get the stripes on the pumpkin

[@RyanKingArt]

Hmm, are you using Blender Eevee? The Pointiness Value only works in cycles.

[@Digiphex]

Starting the pumpkin by making circle loops, when I hit S for scale, it scales toward a white highlighted vertex, the Alt Click command selected the circle but also highlighted that single vertex. How do I do it like you where the ring scales all toward the center?

[@Digiphex]

I figured it out, it was pivot point/median point, etc.

@@Digiphex Ahh ok. Glad you fixed the problem. Thanks for watching!
