So refreshing to see someone go in and put real detail and effort into their work rather than just jumping into spraying it with a bunch of pre-packaged alpha maps. Kudos. That's a beautiful model.

[@jchave7]

Haha thanks! Appreciate it!

[@nancyvandermeer4480]

I'm starting to realise how much detail gets lost in baking for sure and having to be mindful to not make the detail too small as to not lose too much of it, especially when making skin. Love this tutorial I will make full use of it for my alien sculpt! I have been watching all of your videos since yesterday cause they seem very fresh and pull me back into what excites me about game art so much! Have a good day :D

[@raxlyy6416]

hands down the best creature design ive ever seen. I badly want to recreate this whole creature you've made here.

[@thiabreu]

great content and LOOOVE the ambience music.

[@shadowmead8506]

I was looking for a skin tutorial and boy did I find it on the coolest looking model! Thank you!

[@DhananjaySingh-cu1pq]

TTeamBlends here !!! We are inspired by your work. Thank you so much :)

[@obscura_studio]

Can you share a little bit about your custom buildup and standard brushes?

[@AaronWeberGA]

Fantastic work. Thank you, Jared! Cannot wait for more.

[@jchave7]

🥰🙏🏽

[@VIRTUAL_PRODUCTIONS]

Beautiful work 🙌

[@Hemadrum]

Dude! This is exactly what I was looking for. I learn fast so the way you made the video helped me a lot.

[@jchave7]

Glad it helped!

[@Agherr08]

awesome and brief guide!

[@_TetKaneda]

Great contribution. Great tutorial. You have my like. Thank you so much. Greetings

[@boyeffendy]

Amazing. Thanks for sharing! I'm starting to save my work in progress lately thanks to you man!

[@jchave7]

🤘🏽

[@MosquitoHater]

Im a danish student, new at 3d. This was very interesting and helpful. Best video on skin so far ty :D Hope you upload more

[@jchave7]

Thanks, glad to hear! Workin on more!

[@JamieDunbar]

Thanks Jared, really great information. It's so hard to get a good tutorial on adding the tertiary forms. It's easy enough finding info on primary and secondary forms and the tertiary detailing, but very few people talk about that in between stage, where you're still needing to manually sculpt skin and fat and bone. And I really feel that's the stage that's been missing from my own work. Thanks for sharing ;)

[@jchave7]

🙏🏽 thanks!

[@creaky7777]

Would you consider doing a video on how you approach the initial stages of your character art? Like for example how you began blocking everything out from a blank canvas?

[@jchave7]

Ya, at some point. I do have live streams working through some of the initial blockout process on my page as well as Zbrush live

[@Silver-xf7it]

Your channel is amazing

[@markmaher7245]

Fantastic thanks for sharing Jared

[@jchave7]

🥰

[@Satan_said_DRAW]

Omg this is very useful stuff, thank you!

[@draudeky4508]

can you go over the part with the layers again? but more detailed?

[@TalhaRiaz197]

I am always keeping you work as a Refrence Thank you so much for your Tutorials you are my Inspiration ❤

[@jchave7]

🤘🏽

[@dman3d]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and workflow(s)

[@jchave7]

Hopefully it was useful!

[@rogue3d303]

incredible video, when it comes to the noise maker did you use custom alphas and if you did do you mind me asking where did you get them or recommend people to get them from?

[@jchave7]

Thanks, for the alpha I honestly don’t remember where I got it from. Most of my alpha do just collect over time

[@bulbenka6343]

cool

[@IWDSoon]

awesome!

[@jchave7]

🙏🏽

[@digitalsmithy]

Hey Jared! really digging your stuff. I'm extremely interested in rendering similarly to how your thumbnail is rendered, what are you using for those? do you plan on doing any render videos in the future? thanks!

[@jchave7]

Thanks! These were rendered in marmoset. I hopefully can make something in the future.

[@digitalsmithy]

@@jchave7 dannng Marmoset has come a long way, wow. I just re-DL'd it the other day (haven't used it in over a decade), I will absolutely give 'er look a now. Looking forward to more stuff from you!

[@michaelsulesky7221]

This has soooo much valuable info!!! One question I had is how do you have that higher quality looking viewport that's shown around 2:59 ?

[@jchave7]

That’s my own custom layout! And materials

[@BenjaminMartineau]

Hey bro, amazing video ! I was just wondering, had you already retopologized the model and projected the high poly on it Before adding all of these micro details ?

[@jchave7]

Ya, the I already had topology.

[@therealKrak]

When creating those skin strokes why don't you already use layers and morph target at that stage? Since you don't know exactly what you are looking for and being afraid of making strokes on the clean forms, wouldn't that be the perfect time to start using those two tools already? Btw great tutorial and a very nice sculpt of yours!

[@MateuszWendowski]

Do you have those modified brushes somewhere on sale?

[@jchave7]

I do not!

[@vahagnandreasyan298]

Fantastic work. I have a question about resolution. In that case 66mil polygons were enough, but what about if i need more polygons in some ares of the body(for example hands), but i can't subdivide as it will be very high or split geometry(as i don't want seam there)

[@jchave7]

I actually split the model up, you can see how I split it to avoid seems in the video I linked. That way I can get more millions per mesh.

[@eugenemishibinijima6287]

Nice! my only comment is its too symmetrical from the beginning... but hey its a tutorial. nice sculpt!

[@christianivaha5057]

Good video. Shame we cannot really see the brushes used as the bottom of the screen is cut off.

[@artofecora9068]

🔥🔥

[@Kampotscity]

Looks amazing, thanks a lot, but what maps u used for the details ? can you share please?

[@jchave7]

I think they’re all just maps you can find inside the light box!

[@KianKrashesky]

Amazing video! Are you sculpting tertiary shapes and forms in subdivisions or dynamesh? When do you ZRemesh?

[@jchave7]

In subdivisions. I usually sculpt in dynamesh till I get my primary forms and remesh after that

[@KianKrashesky]

Thank you! 😃@@jchave7

[@00beast7]

how to decide to switching from one subd to another and when to work on secondary and tertiary.. like primary is confirmed to be the base but secondary and tertiary is bit confusing for me... and well done with your all recent projects... I love all of your recent work especially back 4 blood ones

[@jchave7]

Ya I always kinda had a hard time when making that distinction on when to move forward. There isn’t really a hard answer it’s more up to you .

[@ManilaSh8-co3fn]

Can you do your texturing process on this? thanks

[@jchave7]

Haha working on it!

[@j_shelby_damnwird]

My man Jared! 🙌 I was wondering...is that UI configuration available for purchase at Gumroad?

[@jchave7]

It isn’t! Maybe at some point I’ll throw it up somewhere

[@j_shelby_damnwird]

@@jchave7 Please do! and keep up the cool work.

[@jas-jr3rv]

this is awesome!! how did you mask the noise detail without applying it?

[@jchave7]

There’s a mask button in the noise maker

[@kukkutdas4621]

thankyou so much for providing these valuable information. I wish to become a character artist one day. and I'm now sculpting for an hour everyday hoping I will get better like you one day. Any suggestions or advise to get a job in the industry like where to start or whom to approach? Thankyou

[@jchave7]

Tailor your portfolio where you wanna work, and start sending apps!

[@MrBoombasticc001]

may i know the alpha what you used at 7.28

[@jhonjairoquinterovergara202]

que programa usaba para renderizar

[@kazbekkurmanbay5394]

It's Marmoset toolbag

[@ifREED92]

Thanks for the helpful content! The model looks very natural. How long did it take for high poly?

[@jchave7]

Thank you! Ahhh 🤷🏽 I’ve been working on and off of it for like a year. But it wasn’t a super long time to make it. Maybe like 40 hours?

[@pratikbaidya3201]

love your work!!! when are u planning to open a discord channel?i would love to join

[@jchave7]

Thank you! I am not sure! I maybe a little while!

[@rg3dart778]

nice

[@JR-jt7cn]

what is the material that you are using in zbrush?

[@jchave7]

Just the basic material

[@ankurgoel1294]

hey can you share this UI ?

[@deepu_george_80]

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[@denischetyrin6980]

Tnx

[@kinoomich]

This guide ! The noises from noise maker does not react on morph brush, no matter what i am doing. I found three actions that you didnt mention and that are necessary and still nothing works. You really missed A LOT of info, dude.

[@kinoomich]

And model is really cool,

[@ArnoldTohtFan]

Zbrush and Blender allow artists to produce assets that are both high-poly and stylized, and the results look much better than any Quixel assets I've seen. I think it's because they have that personal touch, because they have been meticulously crafted from the ground up. Megascans lack this touch, which is why I find the now widespread reliance on megascans disheartening. It feels like another quick fix, a way to avoid the effort that goes into digitally sculpting assets from scratch.

[@jchave7]

Ah megascans like everything has a time and a place. And I can’t say I know many people who use them, characters don’t really find much value in them.

[@ArnoldTohtFan]

@@jchave7 I think pretty much everything in Unreal Engine 5 is a megascan. I really loathe UE5. The drab colours, the desaturation, the ugly opaque filter which I'm beginning to suspect is an inherent feature of the engine. I just hate it.

[@musashidanmcgrath]

Megascan assets are environment/prop assets derived from real world scans. I'm not sure why you think they are in any way related to sculpting characters/creatures?

[@ArnoldTohtFan]

Because they look as bland and boring as the environments scanned from real life. There's no style.
