Blocking Out - Blender Character Sculpt Tutorial part 1

Hi! This is the start of a tutorial series where we will be creating a stylized character sculpt from start to finish.
Part 1: Blocking out - The blockout phase of this particular workflow is very important. It's at this step of the process that we get our proportions and shapes as close as we can to save time later on.
I created a reference sheet from a previous sculpt that you can download at : sta.sh/02489cftt5td
Hope you enjoy this slower, more chill sort of sculpting vid!

[@cletusmandeletusman2328]

if anybody's experiencing weird mirroring problems at 12:38 with the legs not aligning to the reference, you can fix this by applying all transforms by clicking on "Object" at the top in Object mode window, clicking "apply" then clicking "all transforms" after. then you can add the mirror modifier without giving our elfish woman detached legs!

[@BranSculpts]

This will happen if you move the mesh in object mode. Moving in object mode also moves the object's origin point which is what the mirror modifier uses as its center point. You can fix this by applying the transform, as you said, by placing the origin manually, or you can pick and object to use as mirror reference within the modifier with the eyedropper.

[@Solarcai1293]

thanks man

[@BakaGaijin626]

Thanks! I was stuck for a minute then figured I'd check the comments

[@beargienerd]

you're a champion, ty

Listen, If i could, i would give you a high-five. Even a bro-fist

[@jasper3706]

I'm a student studying 3D art and had been told not to try going into character modelling and to focus on environment art because it was just too complicated and there was too much competition. When I showed the same teacher my second model after following this tutorial series, he looked shocked, told me I should try to pursue character modelling for my final portfolio project, and took a picture of the tutorial on his phone so he could watch it and share it with other students later. That's how good this tutorial is

[@BranSculpts]

That's really awesome! Keep doing great things and I can't wait to see your models!

[@artisans8521]

This reminds me of the famous bar scene in "Goodwill hunting".

[@sasvkeee._]

oh wow thats cool!! good on you

[@toastedprinny]

I was told the same thing in college lol, Character design is already an oversaturated market and so on. Definitely do what you enjoy, and keep doing so! XD

[@astrayp01]

Actually that depends on how much effort you put into, if you’re really interested. Will overcome that, let say why teachers wouldn’t recommend it. Is there are not many students can make industry standards characters before graduation. Easy to learn and hard to master, modelling, re typology, bone, strength, flex 3d body, texturing. Everything above really matters. Within limited time, of course they wouldn’t recommend it. Even you can do it, you still need to complete with others. Since modelling entire character, can already be different lessons. And if the animation doesn’t look good, then it can’t show how good your characters. That’s why they won’t recommend it, all those added up. Nearly every 3d model skill has to learn. If you’re in general college that’s teaching about game development, 3 months there’s not enough time for them to teach. Maybe your teachers not good at character too. You need to learn in leisure time, get some feedbacks from your teachers.

[@des7765]

The issue I have with a lot of tutorials here on youtube is that they do not repeat their process and hotkeys as they work. I don't blame them, it's second nature for them to know what to press and a lot of it seems like common sense to an experienced modeler. However for people who are new, not knowing even one of the hotkeys can send them in a spiral of trying to find it online or figure it out on their own and this can take up a lot of our time. I LOVE this tutorial because you repeat everything you do and you explain the basics instead of assuming we know everything! Thank you so much for the help. :)

[@BranSculpts]

I try to make it as easy and simple as possible because Blender can be really difficult to learn. I'm glad I was able to help you in your creative process.

[@GX-105D]

yeah, i'm like how are they doing that with ease, has to be a hotkey, keep looking for a hotkey map on the web, doesn't exist

[@dariascott2267]

​@@GX-105Dthe blenderguru donut tutorial has a really good one on a Google doc in the description of the first(?) video! The issue with blender hotkey maps is that the keys all do different things from mode to mode so you need like 4 separate hotkey maps for the whole program

[@silverwing6175]

finally a tutorial that moves at a good pace and doesn't talk about random to pad out the time. Thank you kind sir

[@BranSculpts]

You're welcome!

[@renealbrechtsen9743]

And also one that isn't like "get good at sculpting in 5 minutes" or whatever.

[@DeathWray26]

I'm only half way through this and I can already tell you, this is THE best of the obscenely large amount of tutorials I've come across on KZbin. The most beneficial 30 minutes I've spent in a long time.

[@dragonstooth4223]

me too ... I've learned more in 15 mins than all the other countless hours of watching blender tutorials (even the donut one) that I've watched over the years I think its cause this guy hasn't been doing this for years ... he still remembers what it was like being a newbie so he knows what we are looking for :)

[@BranSculpts]

Thanks guys! There is still a lot more that I want to learn and experiment with. When I learn something new, I try in it my next sculpt to help show you guys how I done it.

[@Parabellum-X]

Same here. You got my sub.

[@Geospasmic]

Ditto! I'm glad for all the tutorials out there, but this is one of the rare ones that has increased my understanding of how this stuff works by a lot, and I'm only partway through the first video!

[@crowinnards]

Months of struggling, solved in 30 minutes. Your an art saver ✨

[@BranSculpts]

Haha thanks! Glad it helped. May I ask what you've been getting hung up on?

[@crowinnards]

@@BranSculpts the whole process really, mostly getting the model created in the first place. So seeing the block out technique and how to remesh and sculpt solved a huge issue I've been having (basically I crash my computer repeatedly and give up lol) Im currently on your head sculpting video

[@in.zclouds]

@@crowinnards i know what u mean! Sculpting was so hard for me but its finally working out so far!

[@jaypeazy7365]

I think i cracked why this video is so liked. This dude just took sculpting and engineered the hell out of it. First video ive seen where dude starts shaping and not seemlessly making a face shape out of sculpting mode. No artistic decisions. Place cube, extrude, shape, keep going. This is gold.

[@changelingwizardjrayg]

This process for building character models has been what I'm missing when it comes to modeling and work flow. This's already much more fun and enjoyable to work with than how I use to make character models. Fantastic tutorial to follow along with and build. I'm off to part 2

[@BranSculpts]

Thank you! Keep enjoying it and I can't wait to see your finished work.

[@shadowdemonaer]

I have never sat through a sculpting tutorial before, and I am losing my mind becusse not even 1/4 of the way through, I realized i can actually do this. This is what i needed for sure. I sat through the entire thing, and I will go back and watch it again while i go along with the tutorial and do it myself. God, thank you so much man.

[@BranSculpts]

Glad I could help.

[@anthonyobryan3485]

I haven't tried it yet, but I have the same sense that this is something I can do. I have little to no artistic ability, but this looks very doable. However, I've been in this mindset while watching other videos, and I've ended up with Sponge bob rather than Zelda. Regardless, I was captivated while watching this, and think this has been one of the most worthwhile half hours in a long time. I thought I had hit the jackpot with the Skin modifier for character modeling, but I'm starting to reconsider that opinion. Now onto the sculpting video.

[@somerandommodeler]

@@anthonyobryan3485so did you do it?

[@XavielYouTube]

For anyone thats struggling with mirroring you have to right click on the object, ->set origin and select origin to 3D cursor. You have to make sure your character is at the center

I HAVE BEEN ALL OVER KZbin AND REDDIT TO FIGURE THIS OUT IT HAS BEEN I KID YOU NOT 2 HOURS OF ME STRUGGLING THANK YOU YOUVE SAVED ME

[@BranSculpts]

hell yeah! get back in there!

[@IBubblesTV]

I feel the exact same! Once i finished college, some stuff happened with my life and i lost a lot of my knowledge, do glad this is bringing it all back to me!

[@aweetumnsart]

Using Blender 3.41 If anyone is experiencing the issue where you turn off "Optimal Display" and you still can't see the mesh you need to go to Edit- Preferences-Viewport-Subdivision and make sure GPU subdivision is checked. Then you should be able to proceed as normal and see the reference image through your mesh. :)

finally, a tutorial from you with the whole process. thank you so much ❤❤

[@BranSculpts]

haha your welcome

[@hankypanky1nonly]

I started learning blender back in February and have watched a dozen tutorials and this is probably the best one. Love the steady pace of everything. It was easy to follow and I really learned a lot. Thanks! On to the next!

[@TheHashCrackingSlasher]

This tutorial came out at the perfect time as I am just getting over my basics of drawing and realized I might want to try to make 3D characters again since I tried once and it went...really poorly. So I genuinely feel like this is just a sign from someone to get back into sculpting and blender! Thank you so much Bran

[@BranSculpts]

Awesome to hear you're getting back into it! Stick around a little longer this time XD

[@lamyun]

I cant believe you learned all this in just 10 months! Thank you for sharing all of this. You are a god send

[@OneColdtruth]

Of all the videos out there, this has helped me without a shadow of a doubt. I am still on the blocking part (very slow learner) for a while now but slowly but surely, I'll get there. I just wanted to thank you.

[@theredsparrow7746]

I am a fool who wishes to learn a new skillset, these videos will hopefully be a very informative resource to help prevent me from breaking down, crying, and quitting something I've been interested in for a while before I've even given myself the chance to properly learn how to do it.

[@nicholaslarson3778]

You can do it!

[@BranSculpts]

Take your time and don't be too hard on yourself. Blender is a lot to take in and a long process to learn. Give yourself time and be patient when learning new things. You'll get to where you want to be creatively if you allow yourself to learn it slowly. Your first models won't always come out looking the best, but you will be able to learn from them and you'll learn the steps you need to fix it next time.

[@oscargonzalez347]

Don't be afraid to take a break, or repeat things you've already done. I have trouble remembering, and with attention, so I need to use GRATUITOUS repetition in order to learn new things.

It’s honestly crazy how much better online resources are than actual courses in colleges n stuff, this is amazing. I’m taking a course and by no means is my teacher particularly bad but I already had a preference towards 2D art and my teacher only made 3D look so much more impossible for me. You however made me feel like I could have a blank character model in under an hour and understand the tools I’m using to some extent 🙏

[@BranSculpts]

The internet is wonderful place to learn things and I'm glad I could be of help to you.

[@80Seafoam08]

I tried to use blender without a tutorial just to see how far I would get (No experience at all), and for a figure,4 hours total isnt bad! (It looked like a stick figure but who cares!) But then with the tutorial it took 2 hours! Thank you SO much for making this video! Its helped me a whole lot with the navigation, and other features blender has to offer. As a beginner this tutorial was really easy to follow! I'd recomend for any beginner who might want to start a little bit on the advanced side. I'll also make sure to share this video with some other people I know who want to get into 3d modeling!

[@BranSculpts]

Nice work! Thanks and good luck!

[@Spidersaiyan]

Awesome tutorial, dude! Ironically enough, while I was starting a sculpt yesterday, I was rewatching some of your vids at 0.25x speed to get a closer look at your workflow at this stage! Keep up the good work, man! Your progress is inspiring!

[@BranSculpts]

Thanks, man! Glad it helps!!

[@in.zclouds]

OMG same

[@wovenskin]

God, I feel like a loser watching your progress. I've been playing with 3d for longer than I care to admit. And I've been messing with Blender for a few years now and I'm not even half as good as you are! But you've inspired me. Time to get busy!

Subscription earned! This is so fun and also I'm learning so much . Thanks!

[@muemegallery]

thank you so much ive been watching and just slowing down ur previous ones to learn but this is perfect.

[@BranSculpts]

Thanks, I'm enjoying this slower-paced type of video. Feels pretty chill

You can also move the cubes in object mode and add an "empty" object and name it "world origin" and then when applying any mirror modifiers use it as the object to mirror from. Thus letting you use Local orientation when modeling which can be rather useful while still having mirrored objects. You can also very easily add any additional modifiers to the new cubes by quickly holding shift and clicking any object that has the modifiers you want to use in scene mode then pressing CTRL+L (for link) and copy modifiers. makes the whole process far less tedious.
