Hey I had some doubts like is it possible to download someones already realistic sculpted model and then use it to create a motion .... pls reply

[@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN]

Nice to finaly see Jim making a tutorial for you. When I saw him in your author roster, I was hyped :)

[@cgboost]

Thanks mate! Well, it is already the second video by Jim: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYWymHebaKqgh5I (And yes, we are super glad to have him on board) 😊 ~Zach

Thanks ^^

[@ryut]

Brilliant! The best human head sculpting tut. More please!

[@JulienKaspart]

Really nice tutorial! Some things I'd like to add: - The pie menu on A is a really nice alternative to using Ctrl I and Ctrl M. Very handy. - If you turn off the Pinch slider on the Crease brush, it's the same as the Draw brush.

[@cgboost]

Thanks a lot for the input, Julien! 🙂

The best human head sculpting tut. requesting full body sculpting tuts.

[@henrylazaga]

The first time I saw this tutorial I was amazed how those details went that far without the dynotopo. Now I'm adopting this method everytime I do the sculpting. Nice share!

[@jwlewis777]

Very nice, detailed male head tutorial, loved the workflow! Thank you!

[@it.z_freyr]

this is my second day using blender, and I already sculpteed a whole head with just this tutorial. Thank you so much :)

[@brimgrim9804]

Hello CGboost! Thank you for you help! this is the best sculpting tutorial i can see. I am originally a blendeer intermediate but didnt learn sculpting. I made cool textures, animations and models before but sculpting wasnt what i usually did. I am also an artist, I can draw portraits of others perfectly fine. it is just that I wanted to learn 3d art and found you. your video really helped me work out my first ever head! Thanks

[@TurKlack]

It becomes clear to me that I need a better PC for realistic models. Meaning it's either simple objects for me, or I manually cut the parts of the model that require more meshes for fine tuning.

[@olehippy13]

me too. I'm using one that is maxed out with windows 10....cant hardly use 3.6 blender...cant use cycles...my graphics card is not strong enough... I tried downloading 4.2... forget it. I use 2.91. 3.5. and sometimes 3.6. Anyone want to gift an old Vietnam Vet a new updated computer, I'll be most grateful and would gladly accept one.

[@ahmesrhindeng]

You're awesome, not just for your knowledge the way you share it is marvelous.

[@MartinKlekner]

Amazing, Jim, I will try this when time allows!

[@cgboost]

'when time allows' - we feel you ! :)

[@tommiche4774]

Even if I personally had to sculpt a woman the steps of sculpt, the method is great and simple! very useful , thank you for this video ! x)

[@mtkaylee]

this was such a helpful tutorial. ive been trying to find tutorials that 1. match what im trying to do 2. explain what they are going to do, and how to do it. most tutorials just say "alright, let's just make the eyes bigger" and not show how to do it. thank you so much!! :)

[@gamebreakers6437]

Awesome, very useful for beginners.

[@RubenLopez-qb7go]

Really nice tutorial, good pace and clear instructions. I’m now doing the sculpting course, but I wouldn’t mind a new one for sculpting human beings with this level of detailed explanations 🎉

[@cgboost]

Very happy you enjoyed the video! As for your suggestion for a new course I think it is something that we will for sure consider. ~Jim

[@KurizuKurizu]

Good tutorial. Maybe a torso sculpting tutorial some time?

[@TheBubbajuju]

Man that pure ref looks really cool.

[@ownerofacrown3742]

My work has too many pixels. The part where we made the second smooth effect definitely doesn't look like yours and I definitely can't give details like you. I'm wondering if I should adjust my work size. Do you think?

Why is your remesh grid on 0.00850 smaller than mine on the same number? What did I do wrong?

[@cgboost]

Hi, this might depend on a different scale of your object.

[@catherineillick6280]

Hi, I don't quite get how you are using the crease tool to make a crease out instead of inner, could you please let me know how to do that?

[@cgboost]

Hold "ctrl" when you draw, it will invert the brush. I hope that is what you were looking for. ~Jim

[@xnnocence]

how do you make the PureRef tab stay on top? whenever i click something in blender it hides the PureRef tab

[@cgboost]

It should stay on top by default, but I might be wrong, so if it's not staying on top it's probably just the mode not being set right. To fix this just right click the canvas (the pureref window) and go to "Mode", here just select the "Always On Top" mode and you should be golden! Hope that helped! ~Jim

[@TurKlack]

I have a qeustion about vertices. I am using this Video as a tutorial on sculpting, but I decided to make a non-human face in an attempt to get some feel for it. Thing is, I stretched the mouth part to create a snout, but that also means I stretched the vertices apart, making it more difficult to create precise facial features. What should I do? Should I just use Bevel (CTRL+B) to create more vertices, or is there something else I could do? I always forget about the subdivide.

[@cgboost]

HI, that's a complex question to being answered under a comment on youtube. If you like, you can post it in our community along with some screenshots and maybe the project file so we can check it. community.cgboost.com/home ~ Masha

[@TurKlack]

@@cgboost I went back in your Video and it looks like a simple remesh would have done the trick as well. Though the topology is not really mirrored. Some forms are different or are placed on another edge. Is that a problem, or irrelevant for sculpting?

[@cgboost]

@@TurKlack It depends on if you want to have a symmetrical subject. If so, you can actually mirror the mesh in edit or sculpt mode.

[@Jordan-y9t6s]

Thank you for this tutorial but I have a question on 4:54 when I press R I haven't this seeting of resolution, you have a another possibility on blender for this seeting ? please thank you 🙏 !

[@cgboost]

For it to work you have to be in sculpt mode and then you can press "R" to set the resolution size. This I believe is the standard setting as I didn't change it. Should work in both 3.6 and 4.0.

[@drasound4809]

try shift r

[@LasLas-l2r]

The Reference files are not there!?

[@cgboost]

They should be included in the pure ref file.

[@ahhhh5225]

would you use this process for the rest of the body too?

[@ianbarddal7294]

My brush is strange, it goes not so deep as yours, even when I press subtract.

[@CGSTUDENT15]

lovve u will see it womorow now i should take a rest its nigth here

why not blender 4.0 just wanna ask

We recorded this quite a bit before the 4.0 release, luckily 4.0 didn't change anything related to this video (I think...). ~Jim

[@ZorlacSkater]

Couldnt you just start with an existing head and just alter it?

[@cgboost]

Yes, you can do that. But starting from scratch lets you learn the anatomy fundamentals and the real shapes of the head better (because you have to apply them yourself and not go with a readymade base model - which is of course faster and easier, but it misses the learning aspect - so it is rather advised for more experienced users)
