The Amazing Sculpting Brush NOBODY Knows About

[@Dapopable]

I expected ONE tip for a brush. I didnt expect a whole ARRAY of them. THANK YOU! All of them are amazing

[@Noggi_3D]

You're welcome. There's nothing better than a little surprise. :D

[@Specter_1125]

The boundary brush is also great for sculpting armor. It lets you easily make the rolled edges on plates.

[@philmehrart]

Do you have any sources or know any videos showing this off? I would love to see examples - gonna try it out

Me: Oh cool, a neat Sculpting brush! Also me: HEY I KNOW THAT DRESS, IT'S MY GIRL 'SHTOLA!!!

[@Noggi_3D]

The perfect dress to show off the brush. :D

[@miyshka.]

This is genuinely THE best tutorial I've come across in the few years I've been practicing blender on and off. It really motivated me to try sculpting again and try to face my fear of creating clothes and faces

[@Noggi_3D]

Makes me happy to know that. Have fun. :)

[@sol_mental]

That's an instant subscribe to you Noggi. Apart from peeps at BlenderF, I've never seen even Blender Guru make actual use of the sculpt brushes this way, like, the way they are supposed to be used. Thanks for this eye-opening video, and lots of hugs : 3

[@Noggi_3D]

Thank you. There are quite a few useful techniques that you have to look for to find them. :)

[@elliusagi]

The timing of your video appearing in my feed is perfect, I'm creating my first clothing collection! You explain everything so well and so calmly, very easy to follow. Thank you so much for tutorial and help 💜

[@Noggi_3D]

Thank you, my pleasure. :)

[@scritorr]

Using blender for 3 years now... done so many projects... finally got to know about this one... thank you!!!

[@Noggi_3D]

Better late than never. :D

[@CGJackB]

OMG... This one video is going speed up my workflow so much 🤯 It's literally going to save me hours of modeling, rigging, and posing 🙌

[@Noggi_3D]

Makes me happy to hear that. Exactly what I wanted to achieve. :)

[@SupaKoopaTroopa64]

I've been using the surface smooth mode for a while, but I didn't know about the shift + relax brush method. Gonna have to try it out!

[@Noggi_3D]

The Slide Relax Brush is especially great for retopologized models. :)

[@Jovanoc]

The timing for this getting recommended to me couldn't be better, it's kinda scary lmao Thanks for the great vid!

[@Kleingedrucktes]

This is so helpful! Thank you! For random distribution of pores etc. I would pull up the "Jitter" in the brush settings. That's even more random than going in circles!

[@Damysus1]

damn, thats why i love watching tutorials all the time, there is always something new to learn

[@Knapperoni]

One of the few Blender videos I've seen where someome says "You never knew about this" and was correct! Kudos, subbed!

[@Noggi_3D]

I learned about it after sculpting in Blender for 2 years. :D

[@arktikfoxtrix]

Wow amazing. This is exactly what I was looking for. You werent kidding about saving hours. Thank you 1000x I like your style because I very much like to do things fast! - but also efficient:)

I refer back to this video fairly often when making clothing for gaming miniature models. I wish I could give it another like every time! Thank you!!

[@Bad_Chad]

Always fascinated by blender. Thank you for sharing as you are right, no one is talking about it!

[@Ann-lj4nn]

This is AMAZING. How did I not know all of this?? Game changer! Thank you so much!

[@The_Toonimator]

Border brush is awesome! Thanks for sharing. A nice way for collars, ruffled cuffs and skirts, etc. Still learning Blender as I'm currently a Zbrush user. I like the usage of the link brush for "posing" and the mask and colored face sets brush similar to Zbrush . But tbh, I do like the transform control (pivot, rotate, scale) a bit better in Zbrush though. I'm trying to think if there is a better way in Zbrush to achieve the border brush features though. Maybe selecting the border (can also select masked border with zmodeler too), then turning on array mesh or maybe radial symmetry (with brushes or cloth sim) but there is probably a better way.

[@Noggi_3D]

Yeah I wish blender would adopt the way the transformation tools work in Zbrush.

[@nadstunes77]

Wow I found this at the perfect time.... I have been wondering what was the best way to do this in blender...thank you so much it really is a very helpful tool...you are a star⭐

[@SimplySlawa]

would be nice to see your workflow from scratch with and without any cloth addons from Blender. Epic work! Thanks for sharing!

[@Noggi_3D]

I don't and have never used any cloth addons. :)

[@juancamole9154]

If anyone hasn't recognized it yet i believe the thing he's using to demonstrate this is in fact not a thing actually but a character from a videogame and if I'm correct than this character that he's using to demonstrate this is none other than Y'shtola Rhule from final fantasy 14 online in her shadowbringers outfit

[@CamSpaghett]

Wow all of this is such a time saver and so useful. It’s a lot of information for me to take in so I’m gonna have to save this video. I’m definitely subscribing tho. You explain and demonstrate everything very clearly. Good video

[@neyshkaslkeraxepithelium7265]

Thankyou so much! These tips will help out so much. Especially the boundary brush settings.

[@gabe687]

And odd thing that I noticed with the falloff curves, is that I have to set the "Tip Roundness" to something high like 1, to be able to see the effect of the curves on the brush. Otherwise, the alpha gets cut off and all the falloff curves end up looking the same when you sculpt. It had me confused for a while thinking the curves were not working because the default setting is 0.

[@Noggi_3D]

Interesting. I didn't know that. :o

[@SzymonWarunek]

I like your channel very much sir! i personally use blender a lot.Since 2020 - the program itself - had grown and improved a lot.

Hey Noggi is there a way to add a pattern to mesh like you did with the sewing band but instead of drawing it manually and free hand you select the faces or area and apply the effect, like a stamp?

I read through every brush on the Blender Manual site and saw some tips and tricks on Pablo Dobarro's twitter account when he was still working as a developer for Blender. :)

Extremely useful! Just just finished sculpting the damn skirt by hand. And it's actually was kinda painful to watch you sculpting in a second something, that took me like 2 hours.

[@clally3866]

Right, I said the most annoying thing about doing everything in 3D... you spend 3 hours on something to find out later there is an automatic brush that does in in 3 seconds XD

Hopefully I can stop other people from going through the pain you went through. :D

When I grab an edge, the edge follows my cursor so instead of making waves like at 2.25 in the video, the edge folds over alongside a very few waves. All the settings are same as in the video (at least the ones i can see there)

[@martina_verde3D]

nice video! also, your voice is similar to the one of AiEntreupener

[@DasherDash]

I feel so stupid for thinking that the boundary brush is useless. I never spent a single second to see its settings to realize how powerful it can be.

[@TamaraKane]

I like your tutorial, but man, Blender needs a streamlined user friendly version. Having to access multiple menus for just about every tiny sculptural detail is so much minutia for an artist to get bogged down with. In the early days of Photoshop and similar software, we had really affordable (like paying $5-$15 once and never again) or free sculpting tools that practically gave you digital clay/play-doh to work with. You could select "sculpt" or "smooth" or "chisel" or various textures and edges to apply and simply start modifying your project as though you had a ball of clay and your mouse was the fingers. This feels like complex coding for every single step. Like...if I wanted to build a model car in real life, that wouldn't necessarily mean I want to go out and mine the metal myself, and forge it in a foundry, and pour in into molds, and cure, and grind, and sand it, just to create every teeny tiny wheel axle or hubcap on my model car myself before I ever even got to the modeling phase for every single project. I have been hoping for years that Blender would get user friendly and it still sucks. I mean, it's great if you want to spend a thousand hours doing geometry before you get around to making art. Maybe I'm no good at 3D coding/modeling, but this software breaks my brain. Memorizing a thousand different hotkey combinations is not efficient. I want to design modeling software that artists can use. Anyone smart enough to memorize the nuts and bolts of Blender should consider collaborating through GitHub or Slack, or something, to take all of the steps you're doing and code some freeware that simplifies the infinite steps and puts them into a user friendly set of buttons/toggles that don't require first specifying axes and/or locking in rotational fields, or upward sliding chisel reaction flow speed, or whatever other rambling set of parameters in a sea of more parameters Blender has been mashing our brains with. It has to be stopped. Haha. Kidding kind of, but you get the idea. We had this product already and it was better, faster, easier to use, and produced beautiful animation, not...you know...polygons. 😂

[@Kirbedev]

Blender has plenty of hotkeys, and there are guides to this. And also, Blender isn't limited to modeling. It includes animation, shading/texturing, lighting, rendering, and so on.

[@Noggi_3D]

I actually think Photoshop and Blender are pretty similar. You don't necessarily need to fiddle around with all the complex settings. The basic sculpting brushes can create everything you want. But if you want to work a little faster you can use the more complex Brushes and settings. But starting Blender can definitely be very daunting. :)

[@TamaraKane]

@@Kirbedev the things you're describing can be and have been more user friendly in the past, and in softwares Americans don't always have access to. I was complaining about the need for endless memorization of hotkeys, not trying to find out if they exist. I'm aware that they exist. They're not intuitive for people who don't want to learn an entirely new keyboard language in order to paint. Sorry if this comes across in a snarky fashion. There's no negative tone here. I'm looking forward to a return to some more efficient methods to render, sculpt, light, and animate scenes. I'm aware Blender does those things, it simply does them like a Vogon does poetry. I'm not looking to take Blender away from people who love it. I'm merely recognizing that this still isn't accessible to the majority of artists. Those who can navigate it routinely are impressive, though I don't envy them the loss of time in rendering out tiny polygons one millimeter at a time. 😁

[@TamaraKane]

@@Noggi_3D Photoshop also used to be a lot more streamlined. There's a bunch of bloat that I think should be preset rather than stuff an artist has to essentially code for every project. I'm not arguing with you about the quality or customizability that's possible. And, like I said, your tutorial is useful. It's one of the best I've seen on the topic. I'm critiquing the interface. I'm still going to make new software because why not? 🤓

[@alex15095]

You don't necessarily need to memorize hotkeys. You can press F3 to open a search and simply type the operation you're trying to apply

[@alwaysyouramanda]

Holt crap this is amazing. Thanks!!!
