Blender 2.91 Hardsurface Sculpting Cracks

In this video I show the sculpting of cracks to a hardsurface mesh using Blender 2.91. I use stndard brushes like the scrape, draw sharp, pinch, grab and the Clay strips brush for sculpting and I also remesh a duplicate of the low poly mesh by using the voxel remesher.
I start sculpting with the mouse and the scrape brush for stylized edges, then I switch to my tablet, I am using an XP Pen tablet (Deco Pro).

For anyone wonder. At 2:20 , when talking about remeshing. He says "Shift + R" to show the remesh grid. In Blender 3.0+ its now just R without the shift.

[@19711pascal]

many thanks !!

[@VitomDev]

Tnks you

[@terryrhuebottom]

Thanks. You saived me from having to look it up.

[@zeackleo5103]

you are god.

[@3dfotografiaycompania]

gracias! :-)

[@digitalconsciousness]

I was not expecting the pinch and grab brushes. I had not seen those used in other tutorials. Very nice. This makes me really re-think how other brushes could be used creatively.

[@TylerYatesXYZ]

I've been for Blender tutorials on how to model and sculpt terrain to 3D print for tabletop gaming and have had very little luck. This single video gives so much information and I'm really glad I came across this channel.

[@theteddy08]

Sculpting stone, so satisfying to look at the process! Thank you much for the 1 hour of exercise daily instead of 10 hours one day every 2 weeks, it absolutely doesn't work out that way.

[@PotatoMcFry]

I did not know about Shift R to see the voxel size! That is so helpful!

[@JayAnAm]

Yes, nice feature.

[@darkogalic5422]

Loop cut. You got it on Blender guru sheatsheet

[@reedscriven]

Honestly genius making this pt 1 of 2. Instantly subbed so I don't miss the second part. Looking forward to exploring your back catalog!

[@JayAnAm]

Thx a lot, this is the next part kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp_HhnVrl5mGiqs but there will be more - baking curvature and other texturing vids.

[@GamerReality]

I'm glad I watched the whole video, but what I was really looking for was the grab brush at the end. Thanks!

[@Jasmine-zl6qv]

Thank you so much! I didn't know about the remesh option, it's so much easier to use :)

[@Jeff-2112]

Great video, looking forward to the next part! I would love to see some more videos on hard surface sculpting and also on using custom sculpting brushes. Keep the awesome videos coming!

[@JayAnAm]

Ok m8:-) Will do.

[@ommegater]

Very nice. Looking forward the next one video.

[@Greenman4890]

I didn't know you could remesh without fix poles this will be so useful for high sculpts

[@koen388]

Thats super cool, Im quite the beginner but I feel like this would be awesome with the material painter to easily sculpt and texture new meshes :D

[@yuri_ferrari9756]

Cant wait for the second part!

[@rafarodriguez4765]

We wait for the second part of the baking process mate!

[@JayAnAm]

In the making:-)

[@olliveraira6122]

​@@JayAnAm Hi :) Ive been looking for some addon (or alternatively some external software) that can create LODs for you. All Ive found so far is Simplygon and InstaLD, Simplygon simply not doing a very great job (it often gives bad geometry and doesnt work with meshes that combine sculpted and modelled geometry) and InstaLOD which requires Evaluation (So Im guessing its quite expensive, and generally speaking I really dont like softwares with subscriptions/limited time licenses) You dont happen to know of any good solutions? Otherwise, you dont think you could write an addon for automating the process of creation LODs? Afterall Blender has all the tools required for making LODs without having to do any work manually and its just a matter of combining them all into something thats faster to use. Something like: Duplicating the mesh > Decimating the geoemtry with the decimate modifier (and applying) > Transfering the UVs and material from the original mesh to the newly created one (with the transfer data tool) > baking the normals from the high poly mesh > Renaming the mesh name of choice (to have the LODs work with the game engine > Moving the LOD to a desired collection (I use Unreals "Send to Unreal" addon, which uses Collections and object names to organize the LODs, which is why Im requesting this) and then redoing the process for all LODs you want to create. I think it would have the potential of becoming really popular and if I knew Python I would go ahead and make one myself (but I dont so :l ). Simplygon (which seems to be the most popular LOD creation tool atm) has very few options for its polygon reduction algorithms and often creates artifacts as well as that it doesnt support baking detail - All of which Blender can do better.

[@gunnarbrittany]

Fantastic work, as always! Out of curiosity, what determines the subdivision method you go with (remesh vs multires modifier, etc)

[@VoidloniXaarii]

Thank you very much again

[@Tanryoku_Zaydanuriziq]

bro i enjoyed your video so much

[@harrisonsnatt901]

Remex was exactly what I was looking for! I was struggling trying to subdivide my rectangular/uneven meshes for sculpting 😭

[@yusefhusam]

I know this is 3 years old, but for anyone having this problem, all you need to do is select your object, press CTRL+A and apply scale.

[@MrClauried]

You could box it out fully and then bake curvature in painter and texture these details into the height chanel using a generator, more creative freedom and fully procedural. When done show off the height details using the displacement map, still procedural but high-poly. Finally use apply the displacement and select places that are unecessarily dense and use the unsubdivide edges method to optimize the mesh

[@EvgenyTroshkin]

Nice tutor, thanks!

[@JayAnAm]

Glad it was helpful!

[@markwtal9453]

Just seen this video. Subbed. Very nice done.

[@JayAnAm]

Hey, thx a lot

[@CW25710]

Ohhh this is nice

[@Staglaitor]

Yes, i know that i can use pinch to make the crack thinner but it would be cooler to make falloff for brush without graphical tablet (by pen) It is very easy to make pinch when crack-outside is empty but you will fail if draw a crack on ornament. Pinching the crack will destroy the ornament

[@DanielMeurer]

Very nice!

[@JayAnAm]

Wow, thank you

Could you make video on optimising prorender

[@jak3y53]

i managed to use my knowledge of this video to make a cool looking monster thing

[@anlpereira]

Hi, when you change to Draw Sharp to make the stone shapes is there some way to make them more aligned? Thanks

[@audreyholmes9751]

What could also be done to make it look more like a broken pillar is to rough up the top surface and sides but not the top more edge as much Then it looks more like it was originally a part of a larger whole, because when something breaks (like marble, pottery, tombstones, etc) it's *never* a smooth surface and the edges are sharper at the break The edges on the top and sides of the pillar look too much like they were made that way and not worn away with age

[@SzymonWarunek]

open sorce treasure - Blender 2.90 - thank you for beautiful tutorial

@@JayAnAm Blender 2.90 IS AWESOME! - especially,because of the Cycles renderer - OpenImage Denoiser feature.

[@teabagNBG]

i want to recreate a old vinyl figure.. is it better to do a cube and scupt the arms (they are flat crossed directly connected to the body) or would it be better to just to da normal character and wrap the arms around? sorry for the stupid question lol

[@anejaks]

Very Nice

[@JayAnAm]

Thanks

[@phyzxengrmoore6928]

I bought a Deco Pro from this video. I really like it. But the sculpting and painting some times is not activated with the pen. Any ideas?

Do blender have aset library for 2d animation

Why do I not see the remesh button?

[@Dolig93]

Спасибо большое;) Thank you so much! addon keystrokes pls))

[@Hurtone]

So, there is no easy way to get the basic shape faster? Like using a modifier like "displace"? I was hoping for a fast and easy way to do this :)

[@faizAliass]

why my voxel's grid setting become rectangle shape, i see yours are square

[@Bombelkie]

First of all, thank you for this video. LOVE IT!!!. I have a problem though. I don't know why, but when I'm using the scraping brush, the orientation of the surface area of the brush is always facing the ground ( flat, on the z-axis). On your video here, your brush surface is facing the surface area you are going to be molding. like the edges, right face, corners. My brush is just downward and never brushes at any angle. Please if anyone has suggestions on how to remedy this...

[@engemkeres]

Hey, did you find what caused it? I have the same problem, and can't seem to find a solution.

[@snile_memes9978]

cool)

[@CTZN1]

i cant proceed beyond clay strip brush. yours looks like a real crack effect, but mine when i tried the brush , it maks kind of square thing (looks not natural) :/

[@ApexArtistX]

The cracks has low resolution. How to increase only the cracks high res

[@stikyfinkaz183]

A quick question, how do you put all the sculping tools visible, in mine I have to scroll down to other ones that are hidden, btw, I love this tutorial, very helpful.

[@marcoaureliofernandezreyes1413]

Put the cursor/pointer of your mouse on the edge of the brushes and then click, hold and drag to your right - it will expand the brushes menu . Hope it helps

[@stillfree47]

Does new multires modifier could do the same thing? Instead of Ramesh you just subdivide. I haven't tried it

[@JayAnAm]

Yes, I have this on my list, but also have to try the latest version:-)

[@afrikaniz3d]

🤙

[@ryansullivan3085]

What are the advantages of using remesh over dyntopo?

[@JayAnAm]

It's faster and you can go to higher resolution

[@AndrewMaksymBrainNectar]

I'm so excited about this, however I must ask you. I'm still on 2.8 is it worth it to jump to 2.9 right now?

[@JayAnAm]

You know, I have 7 or 8 different versions of Blender on my PC right now, I never install them, just unzip and use them in parallel. I wouldnt use Blender 2.9x right now for production, but I love to try the features and if it is not a critical project for a customer Im using the experimental versions:-)

[@Beryesa.]

Can someone really make a full tutorial about new 2.9 multires worklow? And differences between Voxel workflow. Why nobody using it, didnt everybody waiting for "multires fix"

[@bisvizstudio1242]

I have a question. Is using a pen tab compulsory? Can I sculpt just using my mouse?

[@JayAnAm]

Some things like sculpting details with pressure sensitivity is more simple by using a tablet, but sculpting the mouse is possible as well.

[@siddhantkundia344]

Can we change texture of stroke in texture paint workspace when we use an image texture or are the any addons available for this and thanks for the videos😎

[@JayAnAm]

Yes, you can, will show this in another tutorial but it's quite simple to add a texture to the brush (grayscale) and you can create really intersting effects.

[@siddhantkundia344]

Thanks but i didnt mean that i was talking about changing circular stroke into a texture that we use like in photoshop.☺

[@JayAnAm]

@@siddhantkundia344 Ah sorry, texture painting... ok. Yes, that is possible too:-)

[@siddhantkundia344]

Not a problem, you can that addon or can u tell me an addo that can do it. Thanks

[@JayAnAm]

@@siddhantkundia344 You dont need an addon, you can just assign a texture to your brush when texture painting. You can also define it as stencil or texture mask.

[@vancedaccount572]

I think swtiching cavity is not good idea. Because its only a matcap and in the render it just dissapointing to see without cavity

[@starryskyrin2715]

How can you sculpt without the mirror effect?

[@JayAnAm]

Disable it in the toolbar (x, y, z)

[@mrfeathers3938]

I just don’t understand sculpting because of the mesh destruction. How are we supposed to texture it afterwards?

[@JayAnAm]

The usual workflow is that you retopo your mesh, this means building a low poly mesh with the basic shape of your high poly and then bake the details you sculpting onto the low poly mesh after you UV uunwrapped it.

[@mrfeathers3938]

Jayanam ohhhh okay, okay so are you gonna do a tutorial on baking properly

[@JayAnAm]

@@mrfeathers3938 Yes, first one is already online

1:52 what's the shortcut for that pie menu?

[@JayAnAm]

Tab key, but you have to install the Pie menu addon, which is included in Blender 2.8x, 2.9x

[@inoyashakitbu1178]

[@dRevnik]

but don't do it like that - ten hours sculpting and then two weeks nothing.. it just won't work... well, some of us have to balance it with daily job or two, resting, crying and crippling depression and we have no choice but just make it work somehow...

[@GoldBl4d3]

Its too much sculpting it looks like melted clay.
