@@ComeLordJesus Thanks for asking! Yes, I'm good. Between becoming an Art Director and becoming a father, I have simply been busy. Anything specific you are hoping to see in the future?

@@casperwermuth Nothing special only that you made tutorials short and packed with usefull info, don;t see many of these these days... Congratulations for becoming a father! Good luck as an art director, keep us in the loop with your projects!

@@ws6nick it's the same technique. You have the basic plane, that you never touch. Then you have the subtool that you sculpt on. In this case that subtool is bricks. In your case, it's just another plane, but bigger than the "frame" plane that defines the tiling

@@casperwermuth ha, I tried everything except that. Thank you so much!

@@hiniyanis1236 depends on the use case. For actual ingame assets I just use Normal, but I almost always bake out a displacement/height map purely for texturing.

@@DaRealGoosebumps Yes, the general approach will work in any engine. We've also used it at Ubisoft in their internal engine. Nodes and names change, but the principle remains, and you can apply that in any engine, and with any kind of asset. (Spaceships, cliffs, etc)

You just export these 2. The simple plane is the one you bake to. The array mesh has to be combined, or made real, which is at the bottom of the array mesh menu.

@@casperwermuth thank you so much. I got it. I am wondering if someone ever did a tiling geometry? Instead of just the texture, a low-poly geo that can be tiled. I guess we just have to cut or slice the final geo with the plane. But not sure what option would be best suited to make that tileable cut or slice pixel perfect.

@@HammerBanger That has definitely been done before :) You can do the exact same approach and just .. not bake it. Create a lowpoly of it, instead of baking the highpoly to a plane. That's just one of several ways to do it.

@@casperwermuth yes, sure. The only tricky part is the seamless tiling. I have seen plenty of tutorials showing the way to bake it on a tiling plane. But never seen a tutorial to create a tillable mesh that is literally pixel perfect and using Zbrush.

Thanks, I'm glad it's appreciated!

It's a tip for a workflow. Use it or don't. It's not a full tutorial for a finished project.

I believe I'm using Dete's free setup. (Daniel Thiger).

I've hotkeyed the Array Mesh toggle, so I can toggle it on and off with a button. When sculpting, the mesh can eventually become slow, but you still want to check the tiling. Toggling comes in handy there. Why I do it for this plane right here, is probably just habit. There's no objective reason for it :) same as I usually save every minute or so out of habit

The workflow is exactly the same. When decimating the low poly, choose your target tri count. That's all.

That's new. Seems to be a TH-cam error. Unfortunately, TH-cam doesn't allow re-uploads, but you can download the original for free here: casperwermuth.gumroad.com/l/easycliffs

Under the Array settings, Make Mesh.

I hope it inspires you to do more, and didnt feel frustrating. This wasn't intended for first timers :)

Doesn't matter. You get a texture in the end. Designer and Zbrush each have pros and cons, but one is not strictly better than the other. Use what you feel most comfortable with. Some textures I can create much faster in designer, and other textures i create much faster in zbrush.

Yeah, you can also use wrap. It's just much more performance intensive, so you can't work on as complex/heavy meshes as otherwise. There's also brushes that don't use wrap, if i remember correctly. Imo, array is strictly better, in every way. However, you should use exactly what you feel best with, and it might be something very different than my workflows.

This tutorial focuses on sculpting, but also includes the mask, texturing and shader setup, for the fully finished result. Do you mean, if there is a tutorial that has only sculpting, but nothing else?

@@casperwermuth I am a beginner in rock sculpting but I am intermediate in Zbrush overall. So I was wondering if you have any rock sculpting tutorial starting from basics.

@@rayunited2010foryou No, this is the only one I have for this. You should be fine, though. Rocks, except for some basic zbrush knowledge, is mostly about designing interesting shapes. There isn't much magic to it. Give it a try!

@@casperwermuth Thanks a lot for your assurance. I can peacefully work on this now. Very excited to check out this unique workflow.

@@rayunited2010foryou looking forward to see what you do with it!

What do you mean that the thumbnail doesn't tile perfectly? I've used this for several years in production, and it tiles. Am I misunderstanding you?

@@casperwermuth Is there anywhere I can send you images? It's easier to show it.

@@theenviornmentartist2475 Yes, my email is on my artstation. www.artstation.com/wermuth/profile

this is what I noticed too. On this workflow for example, if you draw on the middle of the 4 tiles, it only affects the original tile you made. It won't draw continuously to the other tiles. You can only work on the first original tile you made.

Okay. I just figured it out how to make this array workflow better. Just go to Brush > Curve> then set the Wrap Mode to 1. Then you can just seamlessly sculpt on the other planes. Thank me later :)

Glad you appreciate it, Ev!

Glad you appreciate it, Paul!

Thanks, Robin!

Robin, you are a life saver

is there a reason for these settings specifically? like is this industry standard

THANK YOU

It's either using, or based off of Daniel Thiger's free Setup. Go get it here: dete.gumroad.com/l/deteBaseSetup

@@casperwermuth Awesome thanks a lot!

Hey Assassin! Yes, it's part of a package on Gumroad here (casperwermuth.gumroad.com/l/eyJi ). Since they are all made with native Painter tools, it's also a good way to see how they are made, so you can apply this knowledge to your own materials.

@@casperwermuth Just purchased the pack and I love it! Thank you for sharing it with us, have a nice day!

@@assasssin5328 Glad you like it! Thank you!

Thanks, Fatty! It is. You just bake the sculpt to the low poly plane, and you are done.
