Sculpting a portrait in Blender

I've been learning Blender for some time and wanted to do a full portrait sculpt in it, so I found a photograph that I liked and sculpted it while recording the whole process. Hope you like it! 😀

This is one of the few channels that show high end sculpting in India. Respect and thank you for posting this, I thought no one in India is doing this on YT. Amazing precison work. Keep it coming

[@AutumnProduction23]

I would love so much to get tutorials off of this here, I mean this is amazing, and you really captured the woman very well!

[@sudharsan7202]

Wow, this is amazing😮😮. Please post more blender sculpting videos ❤

[@petrusasferreira]

Wow, that's incredible. Great work. I love it ❤!

[@romanograsnick]

Wow, for your first portrait you are doing very well! Thanks for sharing!

[@giansbatta]

Spectacular! You are truly a magician! Bravo bravo bravo!

[@Krishna-nf5ss]

One of the best sculpting I ever seen in recent times. U are amazing sir.... lots of respect for u.

[@3HR3NGR4B]

*Very good Tutorial, BIG Thanks!* 😁👍

[@billyjjackson]

No retopology needed 😍 amazing work!

[@worldof3drezaee275]

Amazing ! Perfect !

[@Esqueleto.tattoos]

excelente trabajo

[@RaviK-sg7zd]

Ultimate work!

[@ramm4sky]

Why do you render with CPU? With RTX 3060 12GB it takes 45 seconds to render 2.5B+ polygon car in FHD 16bit with 8K BG 4096 samples + preparation time. Even with cheaper GPU it will be still much faster. At least for NV. Also Optix is supported for old GPUs. If you use AMD or M1 etc, there are another acceleration options.

[@kilutica3D]

Awesome work, your mastery in blender is superb and that likeness of model is Amazing. Looking forward to other modeling videos.

[@shekharpandey8459]

This is incredible... youre very talented.

[@Arshhhe]

stunning!!!!

[@EridanusYT]

Simply amazing

[@johnkabwe830]

The best videos I have watched so far

[@maximgames5694]

Very amazing and professional done. So many different little aspects are taken into account. The chosen object is quite authentic, and not just another typical mainstream pop crap. The only thing I would like to mention is that today's artists are very inclined to copy everything from a photo as a reference, instead of being able to create characters directly from their imagination. They need to have knowledge of human anatomy or at least be an painter. I wonder what the final number of polygons was. This is probably a crazy number. You probably need to have a very powerful computer to do this.

[@alirezayazdanpanah2519]

wow . wonderful , you are amazing

[@narathipthisso4969]

So real!!😊

[@ll.ll0717]

beautiful work

[@Sadamitsu]

subsurface scattering map is very important for photorealism, all the rest is amazing, cannot believe you did it from a single photo

[@ggja2024]

u r genious sir

[@ustakasap0]

Really effective technique, love it! I'll try, probably in detailing part i'll move to zbrush. Thanks for sharing

[@LambVisionStudios]

beautiful stuff!

[@trasam1194]

Great for work i'm appreciate

[@vicsaizo]

[@davindersinghwahla]

awesome work, keep it up

[@John-du5zn]

very impressive work, if you ever do this again, could you turn on display keys so we can see what keys you are pressing? i am really looking forward to learning how to match camera pictures with models

[@anandpg_art]

Thank you! Sure, will do that!

[@mathieu499]

definitely wanna see more of this blender process, amazing piece !

[@anandpg_art]

Thank you!

crazy good

[@shanester1832]

Does anybody know of a video that focuses on the concepts in 1st 30 seconds of this video? -Setting up an off center reference image, choosing focal length. Setting up front/side/back reference videos are standard & numerous, what's done here may be the 1st I've seen. Directly the main questions I have are how was this focal length settled on? And what should it be set to on a drawing where there's no camera to recreate. This is one of the more in depth sculpting videos I've seen, very well done. Starting with the poly modeling to set core structure is a new take for someone like me that dives right into modeling a UV sphere.

[@haniahhelakova3171]

u r so real 4 this

[@AriKsaysFuckYeah]

this is sooo goood!!! 🤤🤤

[@lilybitvr]

W O W !!💞

[@huliam3916]

To remind you that for grayscale roughness images, the color space in Blender should be set to non-color or RAW. By the way, great work! (google translate)

[@anandpg_art]

I omitted to mention that! Thank you!

[@user-dw9rq8mv7u]

Do not be tired . You really did a unique job, I really enjoyed it. How well you did all the work. I hope that one day I will be able to master like you

[@anandpg_art]

Thank you! 🙏

[@nicholasdouby1270]

Mater piece！Pleeeeease make more videos like this！The final render is more like oil painting than photo，maybe because of the less detail ，though SSS shader was also necessary to improve the skin texture

[@sureshnarayanan429]

Hi Anand amazing....🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@sergeykizin6101]

Thank you man!

[@RefractArt]

This is legendary work!

[@anandpg_art]

Thanks for the kind words! 🙏🏽

[@marcapouli7805]

For me who still can't use the simpliest sculpt brush after years of practice, it seems very good

[@Alex-pq1sj]

this workflow have me stunned. never thought of doing it that way

[@anandpg_art]

Glad you found it interesting. Thanks! 🙂

[@purushothamann5902]

Super.....

[@crimsonorc]

Thanks for this. Inspired me to start looking at Blender as a scuplting tool more.

[@rajagurugandhi2233]

Thankyou Anand,Very good stuff for sculpting coming excellent.

[@anandpg_art]

Thanks for watching! 🙂

[@TheGingerMale]

Can you show a render with subsurface scattering turned up? I noticed the end result looked a little bit like a clay statue.

[@NikoNiko-ed6lg]

真羡慕你们这些雕刻大师

[@rafi030303]

coo kurwa? I mean amazing work dude...I am learning blender for some time and creating stuff by myself, but this.. this is another level. Great work, you are amazing

[@jisinthomas4574]

U can hit Ctrl+Shift and left click to visualize any node if u have the Node Wrangler addon enabled. Amazing work as always. Thanks for uploading.❤

[@anandpg_art]

Oh! I'll try that next time. Thank you! 😊

[@dreamzdziner8484]

Still don't know how to sculpt but always love watching experts do sculpting. Really terrific work bro. That's pure talent.😍🧡🔥

[@Subscribe_Mr]

Secret : Good Topology need to be minded with respective anotomy knowledge. And also collect organic brush bundles. 😅

[@edgeeken530]

Hi man, try node wrangler assets so you can check textures much easier.

Also mext of this type of video ..itll be helpful to show us the type of brush you used in each type cases

[@gsathya01]

Thanks for the wonderful lesson. Personally I always feel that you always make it look simple and easy.. but hands-on it's a different take! Looking for more from you with @BlenderOfficial #blender

[@anandpg_art]

Thank you!🙏🏽

[@avurado]

I was wondering if you have any past experience while watching, but by the end of the video there was no question. This was a pretty good process you did! Congrats, I learned something new 🎉 One question, did you create seams in Blender, or autounwrapped in Painter

[@anandpg_art]

Thanks! I created seams and unwrapped in Blender. I should have recorded that. Will do next time! 🙂

[@abhinandansamal2919]

How did you delete that box ? After the subdivision surface of cube

[@mohamedsaad-yf7ub]

AWESOME work. and question my friend how to turn high poly character to low poly or retopology is better ?

[@ZERREN]

you need to do a retopology of your high poly character then you export a displacement map from substance to get back all your details

[@ernoir6833]

wah gila keren sih

[@shubhamchipkar2526]

how you move that camera to align mesh to the image at start?

[@gurkankaraali9608]

this is real digital art.

[@anandpg_art]

Thank you! ☺

[@xanzuls]

This is amazing. Great job. How was the sculpting experience in Blender so far? I've been seeing some other lifelong zbrush (maya) artists switching to Blender completely as well.

[@anandpg_art]

Thanks! It takes a little while to get used to, if you are a ZBrush user, but It is pretty smooth once you have customised the brushes to your liking. You really start missing ZBrush when you get up to about 6 million polygons though, depending on your hardware. I haven't seen anything beat ZBrush at handling high polygon count! 🙂

[@aegisgfx]

@@anandpg_art outside of movies and AAA games, who on earth would ever need to go to 6 million? especially if they are hobbyists and not pros?

[@xanzuls]

@@anandpg_art Amazing. I'd say instead if just using the multires modifier going much high with it, if you add a Subsurf Modifier before, subdivide it 5 (or more) times with the "Simple" method, then apply it, you can add the Multires Modifier, with 6 subdivisions, again 25 million faces, and a smooth sculpting performance. And I've seen people go as high as 60-70 million polygons without much lag. Hope that helps. Would love to see more sculpting videos in Blender from you. And my only critic would be the skin shader, it looked a bit plasticky with maybe lack of enough SSS and less specular. Goodluck.

[@mohmepk4578]

You are a genius. I hope you make more videos for the Blender program because it is open source. Muhammad is from Egypt

[@anandpg_art]

You are too kind! ☺🙏 Yes, I plan to make more videos on Blender. 🙂

[@pascalperigaud1116]

Pure talent artistic...thank you !!! Very great video !!!! Ps: do you have the names of the music?
