Sculpting Tsuyu Asui - Froppy from My Hero Academia in Blender (TWICE!)

Today we're sculpting Tsuyu Asui aka the rainy season hero - Froppy from My Hero Academia in Blender 3.0
Sorry for the video being so long, but I decided to model her twice in two different costumes. So if you think about it, it's like you're getting TWO videos this week! MHA is my son's favorite anime and we watched the first few seasons together last year and are waiting on the next! Froppy's our fave, so here I am trying my best to model her :P
This isn't an actual tutorial. I just talked over footage of the sculpt being sped up a bunch. "P

Hey, I don't know if anyone has informed you of this yet, but here's a tip about retopology that I rarely see talked about it. Everyone always talks about the shrink-wrap modifier, but I've always found it to be extremely intrusive and prefer the snap to face tool. If you, like me, enjoy having control over faces but would like to not have to press every single vertex, navigate up to the snap settings and activate the checkmark for the "Snap Individual Elements" option. Now, every time you select something, this includes double clicking for loop select, box select, anything of your choice, it'll snap those vertices right onto your mesh as if you'd clicked each and every one of them. Seriously, NOBODY ever talks about this, I don't know if it's some forbidden knowledge that's only shared by the Blender Elder Gods not meant for mortal consumption or something, but in the hundreds of hours of tutorial content I've watched I cannot recall a single mention of this as part of a workflow. Since I've been shamelessly following along with this video to see what I can take from your workflow and add to my own, I figured it was only neighborly to throw that out there.

[@BranSculpts]

Oh man I wast aware! I'll have to try it out next time! This could be a gamechanger fr!

[@TwistedSynn]

I just love how Froppy was suppose to just be one of the other Side characters but she became so popular even beating out Ochaco in poles for most popular Female characters. Just shows when making characters sometimes you can predict which characters would become the Fan Favorites.

[@BranSculpts]

Froppy need more screen time

These videos always make Sculpting models look like a lot of fun

Meanwhile reality is like: "Wow this looks fun" opens Blender, 5 seconds later "Wow I give up"

[@ewinter9021]

@@hehefunnysharkgoa9515 haha, well he took the right approach. He learned how to work with the blender interface and tools first, then focus on tutorials for box modelling (easiest modelling technique), and then progressed to other more advance tutorials. Honestly, its the process being done in the right order that makes it fun because you have more "WINS" & "SUCCESS" as oppose to feeling defeated from not re-creating some advance sculpture right off a couple of tutorials lol. But yeah, I totally agree. It looks fun watching him sculpt/model. Kind of inspiring lol

I saw what u learn in 1 month and im really inspired... I will try to follow your path and learning tho

[@Gonsoi]

this guy is really really skilled... i saw that video too.. im shaking right now

[@ThomasSchannel]

@@Gonsoi also keep in mind that he had been drawing for years so anatomy and characters would have helped him. Still yes what he’s learnt in a month is very impressive. But I’m saying this as for other people to not get discouraged

[@kaizze8777]

@@ThomasSchannel this, Ive been drawing for a while too, but after a long period of not drawing, still doing 2D DOES make 3D MUCH easier, it feels like drawing without having to calculate the damn perspective and form lol, so in my mind 3D is easier

[@ThomasSchannel]

@@kaizze8777 I ain’t saying either is easier or harder, I’m saying he was an artist before and would have transferable knowledge.

[@crownhimcreate]

For someone who only recently learned to 3D sculpt, you’re really good man!

[@WolfXGamerful]

An easy way to find a turnaround reference for most anime characters is to search up "[their name] settei". Maybe throw in the anime name before everything if the name is common.

[@BranSculpts]

Settei is turnaround??

[@animatheg3447]

Yo youre tutorials are sooo gooood you kinda speedrunning it like a timelaps and you are still able to speak about every detail youve done

[@BranSculpts]

Thanks! I hope it helps!

[@tobbyman3d]

Bruh, I'm soooo jealous 😩. Your growth in 3D is the something else 😑.

[@jomenikia]

Hello hello, fellow blender artist here. I dunno if you know about this one modifier called the shrinkwrap modifiers. It's a very helpful modifier if you like to snap objects to surfaces. The huge benefit to this one is that you can change the offset of how far above or below the surface you're modeling. Another huge benefit is that you can add a shrinkwrap modifier over a subsurf modifier and the new vertices created will be taken in account to snapping them to the surface. You can also parent different vertices to different vertex groups and offset them with two different shrinkwrap mods. I use this modifier in every project of mine and I especially use it when doing re-topology work on a model. Go check out a video on it, I think it will really help you. K love your stuff man, keep up the amazing work and the progress!

[@brandonhanserd7832]

The video in 5 months: “I learned 3D animation and created a Pixar short film” Lol seriously though, this amazing and inspiring

[@GoronTico]

18:35 lmao, i loved the sincerity i know that as artists we are expected to have a certain degree of professionalism, but butts are butts at the end of the day

[@BranSculpts]

At the butt of the day

[@CertainlyTrying]

I love what you are doing! I am trying to learn blender myself and got frustrated with UV unwraping and texturing a project. Your videos gave me the boost of motivation, that I needed to get back to work. Thank you:)

[@BranSculpts]

Yeah, uv unwrapping isn't fun when the topology isn't where you need it to be. I've been trying to just stick with base colors and principled bsd my last couple of models unless I absolutely need a texture :p

Aw man. I just glanced at the description and spotted "free download" and thought the model was available. I would've loved to print her out.

I didn't even think of that. I'll try and get it uploaded some time this week

[@Ultimaniacx4]

@@BranSculpts I would appreciate that very much!

[@nairocamilo]

You have become a threat! You're unstoppable! Neither crime nor random mesh crashes shall stop you!

[@justafanboy3968]

one of the biggest take aways from the video for me who hasn't dedicated myself to learning blender is that for these renders you just make the body or anatomy and then pose and create the clothes after. I'm sure there's a way for cloth physics and stuff that games use to be added so you can make it easier on yourself or something and get the "default outfit" to conform with the poses. also the modeling of like little indents like on her goggles were pretty cool, I kinda wanna see you attempt some clothes that use it way more and go for a "hyper realism" look. what comes to mind is stuff like dmc 4 and 5 Dante's jacket and all that. so I don't know if you care to maybe mess around with a more complicated or intense character or even piece of clothing but the ideas here. Still I applaud you for simply learning this much.

[@TailsThewolfcat]

I've tried using the cloth modifier to make clothes but it's not good for a stylized model. using cloth physics is a headache and only good for special circumstances (pillows, curtains, blankets, ect) for characters, it's faster to just sculpt it on the model yourself.

[@ThomasSchannel]

Blender does have like autosave temp folders, you have to check open a thing as it’s like “hidden files” so you could have only lost like 10 minutes. Also save often! An hour is too much my man. Also nice models and nice video, I started to get into 3D sculpting after your video. My progress is a lot slower but I’m getting there!

[@ARDIZsq]

I've been using Blender for almost a year and a half now, and I still can't really sculpt well. Your work is very impressive. Haven't watched MHA, but I really like Tsu, and you did an amazing job with this one. Keep it up man!

[@hilantix]

I really enjoy these man. It’s so much work but you get it done extremely well.

[@BranSculpts]

Thanks! Glad you like it. I feel like I'm getting a bit faster at cranking out a character sculpt the more I do

[@pokeyishere]

One day I hope to become a 3D-Artist for a game company! This just looks so amazing & my cup of tea!

[@hexcode5703]

Do not forget, Blender have a autosave option, you can also define the time window between the automatic saves. Great video, Tsuyu looks amazing on both versions! ^^ OBS: For me this feature crashes the software, but looks like a "isolated" issue as I found on my researches.

[@EnterJokesHere]

Is there any particular reason why you posed them first and then began to model the outfits? I feel like it would make more sense to do that first so that they can be posed after 🤔Or are they still rigged in their current poses? Love your stuff and your style sm, really inspiring me to try character modeling. I'm planning on working through the projects that you linked in your other video soon

I find hard to understand workflow using Quad Remesher. Did you use quad remesher than joined hands and used it again? Also, after quad remesher do you simply add subdivide mod or srinkwrap or do you just shade it smooth ;c Any chance you could answer or even make a video showing this part of process more indepth? It would help a ton
