Nomad Sculpt: Quicklook v1.85

[@elodiesmiles]

dude. ily. i usually dont rlly have the patience for tutorials/other nomad vids but the way u show/explain things makes everything make sense and u getting excited abt things makes me excited hahah. cant wait for u to make more vids, ur prob gonna b my new go-to nomad teacher :) tysm

[@making-things]

Geez. What a compliment. Thank you! I am feeling the pressure to not screw up now! 😅

[@garobi5523]

face group with edge loop(side) is quite amazing! 💗

[@making-things]

I agree. This should lead to smoother models with less geometry. That's my hope. Take care.

[@yomommah24]

When you first said it was 16.99, I was like “Whoa, wait a minute”. After seeing the ‘Aha’ portion of your tutorial, I said, “Well it’s ONLY 16.99”. ☺️

[@making-things]

lol! I'm so glad I could be the reason you have $17 less dollars. Yeah, it's definitely worth it. Thanks for the comment.

[@FoxPriestStudio]

This excellent video helps explain the new Quad Remesher and its connection to Face Groups. (Add on price is so worth it) It is a definite step toward tools like ZBrush's ZRemesher and Polygroups. Near the end of this video, it shows the protection of the boundary edge maintained like a Crease tool. And the ability to add Edge Loops a move very much toward ZModeler functionality. So the Imagine being able to select Edges and crease or bevel with a radius. Defintely a huge step forward. Hard Modeling is not the only world to benefit. The ability to maintain smooth geometry with lower sub-divisions and selective creased or soft edges is so much better than what we get with Clay tools.

[@making-things]

I agree on these points. Definitely worth it. Thanks for watching FoxPriest.

My first class here and so useful bro. You gain one more subscribe ❤

[@making-things]

Thank you so much Best Apps. I am really happy to hear it helped. Take care.

[@brooke1639]

Amazing video and demonstration!! Thank you ❤

[@making-things]

Thanks so much Brooke. Very happy you enjoyed it. Take care.

[@ronaldbell7429]

I haven't yet tried the face groups, but the relax tool... wow. I don't use the relax tool much, so I probably wouldn't even have found that on my own. Thanks!

[@making-things]

Relax, I got you! Yeah, it's really great. It's just nudging the geometry into a straight line. Very clever. I'm excited to test some boolean objects with Quad Remesher.

[@hh5leo]

Nice sharing thank you so much! Cool feature

[@making-things]

Welcome. There's a lot more I could have covered, so I'll have to follow up with more detail soon.

[@3dchick]

Holy cow, that’s awesome!!!

[@making-things]

It’s got a lot of great upgrades

[@Jeep4X]

Nice! Thanks for the excellent demo. Something I can use a lot. Thanks!

[@making-things]

Glad that helped. I am trying to wrap my head around everything. So I am glad there was a little bit of insight.

[@lanasemeikina7910]

so far you have the most informative review of the work of group faces ❤😊

[@making-things]

Thank you! I also realize, I didn't really cover multiple Face Groups. I will definitely work out a more organized follow-up video. I am sure there is going to be a lot of KZbin content about this update. so hopefully we can collectively figure out the power of this update.

[@Lcard69]

Excellent and priceless infos in your video, many thanks

[@making-things]

Thank you. I do my best. I appreciate the kind words. Take care.

[@ProcreateFX]

👍Tap with finger in mask mode on the facegroup…

[@making-things]

I knew there was a way. Thank you!

[@lyghtkruz]

I think I started drooling when I saw the quad remesher with the facegroup. I've run into that ugly edge issue so many times when trying to mask, I really disliked it before. This looks awesome!

[@making-things]

You and me both! It’s such a huge upgrade if you love a clean mesh. Thanks for watching.

[@Max10_B]

This combined with the quadremesher curves feature southern gfx went over will help get really clean geometry

[@making-things]

Ooo. I haven't watched that yet, thanks for the heads up.

[@zazzenfuk]

im frustrated that Android is missing out on a few features but for a learning tool of 15$ I have been blown away by Nomad sculpt.

[@making-things]

I just heard that from someone, that would be frustrating for sure. Sorry that is the case. Let's hope it's only a momentary delay. Maybe it wasn't ready for release as quickly as iOS. Fingers crossed.

[@johannesmargarian8710]

Nice Page. Keep on! 🙌🏻

[@making-things]

Thank you and thanks for the words of encouragement. I appreciate it!

[@M0DFATH3R]

Relax is a game changer

[@making-things]

Agree!

[@japanesepokemoncardsbuydir9657]

If you tap in the mesh or in this case the face group with the Mask tool selected then the whole mesh / face group will be selected at once.

[@making-things]

Thank you, I appreciate it. We’re all learning.

[@KrazyRobot]

incredible video!! is there a way to get the quad remember to only focus on certain face groups ?

[@making-things]

Good question. I don’t know, but I’m going to figure that out for you.

[@KrazyRobot]

@@making-things legend!

[@making-things]

​@@KrazyRobot I better not fail now. The pressure is real.

[@making-things]

Hey KrazyRobot. Can you tell me more about your issue? Is it not letting you mask unique patch colors?

[@KrazyRobot]

@@making-things it is! imagine a workflow where you're using TONS of patches / facegroups on the same object, constantly quad remeshing twice to get the super perfect topology as shown in your video here. every time you quad remesh though, the previous topology is going to get adjusted / smoothed out and you'll lose some of those perfect crisp lines that feel only possible using this method to begin with. ideally theres some way to protect previous facegroups from these effects while still gaining the benefits of the QR. sorry for the long explanation!

[@coinopanimator]

This is such a great update and a little bit problem with glitchy topology but I fixed that something got switched on that should have been switched off vice versa.

[@making-things]

Agree! What was it that got switched off? Asking for a friend.

[@coinopanimator]

@@making-things For some reason I can't post here. This is my second attempt. I just uploaded a video on the solution on my channel.

[@coinopanimator]

oh now I can post responses. KZbin being a little glitchy. Basically make sure that FRONT FACING VERTEX ONLY in the FILTER MENU is turned OFF. and TWO SIDED is turned ON in the DISPLAY SETTINGS MENU. Hope that helps.

[@making-things]

@@coinopanimator Perfect. Thanks for the details. I don't pretend to know everything or even a lot. I am always glad when I get advice! Thanks you!

[@SkillipEvolver]

Ok. I understood most things discussed here.. but... @12:58 why did the smoothing *only* affect the. Top edge? I'm not sure i follow... The result is great though.. as someone who has used Shaper3d a lot (and who hard aurface models more than sculpts), i finely l definitely appreciate the distinct/clean edges. I guess it's an aesthetic look at this point... The clean edge contrast with the smooth curve. ...you see it in manufactured objects a lot. Most obviously in car bodywork.

[@making-things]

The only difference maker was turning Sticky Vertex on Border from Auto to On. It treats the Face Group region as a mask, except that the Face Group selection is sharper than a mask. I don’t know if I’ve answered your question. Let me know. I am still figuring this out myself.

@@making-things I think its just sorting out tools etc that wasn't working properly 👍

how can I buy the add on? can't find anything about it. greeting

[@making-things]

For me, when I tapped on Quad Remesher for the first time there was a shopping cart icon on the icon I believe. I would imagine that trying to use Quad Remesher would continue to bring up some message about purchasing it.

[@boris4493]

@@making-things OK thanks for the answer. Unfortunately I don't have this quad remesh. how can I get this?

[@boris4493]

@@making-thingsah I see it's only for iOS. that's sad

[@making-things]

@@boris4493 Go to the App Store and see if there is a newer version of Nomad available. There should be an Update button.

@@boris4493 I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize they were not offering it for Android.

[@WallyMahar]

This is gonna sound dumb. I haven’t seen anybody edit the face group. How do you erase and fine-tune the edge? Like a reverse brush.

[@making-things]

The way that I have done it is that I use the base color, so in my video I chose white as my starting color, then chose a blue for my second patch color. So when I need to erase, I open up my patch color menu and choose white to erase the blue. I know what you mean, I felt like I might be doing a hack with my method, but it works. Hope that helps.

[@making-things]

If that wasn't clear, in my example, i had white and blue as my colors. I use the dot brush with white to paint away the blue, and blue to paint away the white. I feel like I'm explaining this terribly.

[@nicksonjeremia2659]

maybe also look at it in form of color coding/color grouping blue red white for different groups if you want to move a face to another group you paint it with a color that reprents that group.

[@SkillipEvolver]

Interesting discovery……

[@making-things]

Overall, Quad Remesher has been doing a great job of recognizing when I create inflated areas or sub-inflated areas to remesh in a smart way that outlines those shapes. I’m pretty impressed so far5.

[@ChrstphreCampbell]

Thank you for Not demonstrating anything, demonstrations always confuse me !

[@making-things]

Thanks Chrstphre. I do my best to be clear. Whether I am successful is another story.

[@dracosrayne]

@makingthings No remesher for android users is absolute trash!

[@making-things]

What??? That does really suck. I don't see why that would be. If you check out the web assembly link I have in the description on your Android browser, you could access it that way I bet. I know that's not the ideal solution, but at least you could use it.

[@lanasemeikina7910]

I tried to organize the faces of the group into several groups. and in masks it does not understand when to select one group as a mask and make changes. Looks like that usles to organize all group before changing. Still feels like you have only single mask. . There is also convert button . what does convert do? I still don't understand.

[@making-things]

Convert turns a face group into a mask. There is some crossover in the mask and Face Group tools. I didn't do a great job of explaining the full power of Face Groups, and to be honest, I haven't figured them all out. I will need to provide a more in depth tutorial, but I do promise that Face Groups can be very handy.
