why didn't you double the speed more so you could create a realistic character in just 2 minutes?

[@Noggi_3D]

Don't give me ideas...

[@MellioMusic]

LOL This gave me a good chuckle

[@jakobpirzk1674]

Yes, it's possible!

[@EC-mh1dk]

gear button > playback speed > 2.0 now you can follow the step by journey in 2min!

loll

[@raphaelbarros1747]

Step one: realize you clicked on the video for the wrong reason, you'll need a couple hundred thousand "4 minutes" to actually learn and become somewhat good.

[@Noggi_3D]

And at the end, you can be proud that you got good at it.

[@ChillieGaming]

@@Noggi_3D hey bro I'm new to sculpting. I wanna make realistic characters with eyes , hair and rigging for video games. any good channel or course to get started which you would recommend.

[@randwilliams5552]

@@ChillieGaming Head over to ArtStation, and pick up Konrad Hetko's "Realistic Face Creation in Blender." It's $50, but worth *every* cent. Nothing will make you perfect on your first try, but this will get you way farther than anything else I've seen for beginners. If you want a tutorial for full characters, with design and rigging, CG Cookie's robot tutorial is pretty good.

[@ChillieGaming]

@@randwilliams5552 thanks for replying and also tell me where could i learn advanced sculpting after gaining some experience

and misleading thumbnails

[@hoferurmom558]

I understand the information is helpful about this topic, but showing time lapses and saying you can do it in 4 minutes is exactly how you turn off new creators. Basic people who aren't adept at this sort of thing just see it as a blur of information.

[@Noggi_3D]

I appreciate the feedback. :) This video is supposed to answer the question, how you can create realistic characters in Blender. If you're interested in the full real time process, you can watch the past broadcasts on my live channel. I can't remember if I say that in the video. If not, I should've.

[@spenserBE]

​@@Noggi_3D you shouldve specified that the explanation took 4 minutes and not the actual characters

[@5secondsago15yearsago4]

Do i need to use sculpting for human creations? Because I mostly use 3d box modeling without any sculpting involved, i tried sculpting but it's just terrible for me.

[@Noggi_3D]

For me it's more intuitive and faster to sculpt it. But you can also poly model characters, if that works better for you. :)

[@S9universe]

hello i wa wondering if anyone could make a series of cool videos for a realistic character from creation, to rigging (eyes, mouth cavity, teeth) clothes.. i'm an average creator but i don't fing a good quick video covering the whole process without overcomplicating things.

Content is good but clickbait title earned downvote. I do this to every video that I see that's like this

[@thecreator8353]

I don't understand why everyone is talking about the 4 minutes thing But, What he meant was he's going talk about that thing in 4 minutes And that doesn't make it that you can make a character in 4 minutes Yan sculpts and Blender Guru also makes these kind of titles but no one comments like this on their videos

[@Noggi_3D]

I think it's because of the thumbnail, that kind of supports the idea of creating it in 4 minutes if you want to read it like that.

The one in the video took roughly 15 hours. Still more than 4 minutes, though, so you're right about that.

How one can earn by doing character modelling, different ways, also if joining the studio is compulsory before working as a freelance artist.

hey noggi, I've finished a sculpt using remesh, but now I have way too many vertices for rigging and animation, I made a lowpoly version of my sculpt but how can I bring the details to it [like a normal map, how do I bake one]

[@Noggi_3D]

You can use a multires modifier + shrinkwrap to retain the details. Either keep the multires modifier once you've applied the shrinkwrap modifier or you can also "bake from multires" to turn those details into a texture. :)

[@josephvanwyk2088]

Thank you for this, FINALLY someone makes a pipeline video. What about retopology though, apparently this is a crucial step, which I don't understand fully. Why go through the extensive trouble of fine detailing, only to overlay it with low poly after. Someone mentioned about baking the detail on to the low polly, but I still don't understand.

[@Noggi_3D]

Uuuh another video idea. :D In general, retopology is important if you want to add detailed textures or animate your character. Cleaning up, or rather rebuilding your topology more structured, lets you organize and optimize your UVs easier and animations run much smoother with fewer vertices. If you plan to retopologize your sculpt, you should add detail to that new model. You usually bake detail if you need to stay below a certain vertices count. Hope this helps for now. :)

[@arktikfoxtrix]

Your channel is great man! I've done some sculpting and have worked in c4d/blender for a about two years just when I have time. One of the hardest parts has just been getting a general idea of how I want to work on characters or other modeling stuff. Creating short overviews like this really helps get a general direction instead of just diving into details of something I'm not even sure if I want to use yet. It is especially important when working with a low budget laptop haha because I'll need to understand my own restrictions when working with characters until I can upgrade. Thanks a lot for putting out really useful info for free! A little bit offputting on the title and description but sure is getting click I bet ;) Anyone who has even used a 3d program should know it is not possible to do this tho lol but confusing for the super newbs. Either way big ups!:)

[@Noggi_3D]

Yeah, I thought the title is pretty obvious, but the thumbnail kind of doubling down on it might not have been a great idea. Thanks for your perspective. It's easy to forget that lower budget setups exist if you're used to your own. I'll release a new video tomorrow that's similar to this one, which might give you more ideas for your own workflow. :)

[@mattzart]

Awesome video! I have a question about Vertex Colors, though. You briefly mentioned it using it to create all the different maps. What do you mean by that? I would love to know more! I am trying to push my understanding of Blender and 3D fundamentals further and further.

[@Noggi_3D]

Roughness, Specularity, Subsurface Scattering, etc. all have a spectrum from 0 (nothing) to 1 (maximum). Or also black (0) to white (1). So you can plug in textures, and those textures determine the value of those settings. For realistic characters, custom textures for said values are very important. But sometimes I don't want to Retopologize and UV unwrap my sculpts, so I just use Vertex painting. Vertex painting applies a color value to the individual vertices of the model, which makes it a good alternative for textures. :)

[@DonVitoCS2workshop]

Do you think I can have the same result or at least something near it , with a mouse n key because I don't have a tablet and always wanted to know if it was possible to sculpt with a mouse .?

[@Noggi_3D]

It should be possible, it will probably just take a little longer and may be more straining for your hand because you have to click for every brushstroke. The big benefit of the tablet is that you can adjust brush strength on the fly. :)

[@thehumanoidblaze9723]

could this workflow also be used to create a game-ready character?

[@thehumanoidblaze9723]

also, what kind of search parameters do you use to gather reference images

[@Noggi_3D]

Sort of. Before you can shade the character you would have to retopologize it, and you would use hair cards instead of particle hair.

[@Noggi_3D]

I usually go to Pinterest, where I have a few boards for general stuff like anatomy, face + body references and inspiration. If you search noggi_now you should find my boards. If it's more specific I describe what I'm looking for in my search in different ways. I try to at least find a front and side view of my character/person. If I can't find that I'll take what I can get. On top of that I'll get references for everything I want to put special attention to. :)

[@rangeldias11]
