I have already used the same method in this way, but in my opinion there is an even better variant to create a posable base mesh in no time. Instead of the Curve repeater, I now only use the normal tube tool with an X Division 4 and a post subdivision 2 for the body limbs. The body limbs become more beautiful. The legs / arms can also be mirrored and the symmetry preserved. You are also not forced to make a remesh at some point. For tails, the method with the curve repeater still makes sense. I'll make a video of my variant soon.
I have to say, this is singlehandedly the best method I have seen for creating a base model for sculpting in Nomad Sculpt. I saw ZBrush, and its ZSpheres, and wished something similar was available in Nomad Sculpt. Of course, here is SouthernGFX, the absolute LEGEND with a tutorial for just that! Thank you! Both unfortunately and fortunately, this led me to frustration and then a learning opportunity when I realized the difference between triangles and quads... I hadn't realized what 'Decimate' truly did, and I didn't know that most workflows involve having to create a retopology. Thanks to you, I have confidence that I can create a retopology easily, as shown in the Instant Meshes video. And I no longer fear the loss of detail, since I learned about 'Reproject', projecting the old detailed mesh onto the new retopology! Man, digital sculpting is so cool. Overall, I am just so thankful for your channel as a resource. If I'd known all this at the start, I could have saved myself so many headaches.
really interesting. what I usually do for human character, is using a mannequin app to give a pose to a 3d mannequin, and import it in Nomad. but your method is really good for non human creatures :)
super cool! I wondered if something like this could be done, but haven't sat down to figure it out! thanks Glen for your incredible mind! haha. always fun to watch!
I just got the Poseit app. I love it to make poses, you can make your own sized maniquins in the paid part. I’ve gotten so many poses I’ll be sculpting it was so easy to get ahead of myself and say, wow.. I have a lot lot more to sculpt than I had planned
wow! glen, i've only just started my journey with 3d modeling (as it started just with me needing a drawing reference) but these videos are so, so helpful! i have a question regarding this curve tool technique-i actually already modeled a character, but am wondering if i could somehow do the same posing method with the model, rather than repeating spheres. in short, is it possible to apply a model over a repeating-sphere skeleton?
This is great! I wonder if there a way to temporarily bind it to a mesh like Z spheres? I found this video in the search for a way to pose T posed character's mesh
Hahahaha… I don’t do it in Photoshop, zbrush, aftereffects and many more…. I am a BAD BAD BAD artist and shouldn’t be teaching be terrible habits lol. Must try harder…. As always ;)
I was following along and when you hit repeater and curve you got a tool bar pop up. Mine doesn’t do this is it hidden somewhere or do you click on something not seen in the video?
I do use poseit all the time. I was thinking about none standard creatures really and of course, there are always lots of ways to do something. Exploring and experimenting is where we learn the most I find.

Absolutely. I mentioned that right at the start of the video. I just did a dragon with the tube tool rather than this way. It’s all good learning
Please do make a video id love to see the process
Thanks Glenn. Great video as always! It takes me ages to block out the anatomy, so this will really speed things up.
is there a way in NOMAD to add an armature to the mesh so I could pose?
(I still have to import the NOMAD-mesh into BLENDER for the posing)
@@dominiqueruppen5721 sadly no not yet
wow!! expanding the possibilities!
This is an amazing idea! Thank you for sharing!

This crazy, fanfriggentastic , I can't wait till break (at work), to try this out. Thank you so much for showing us.
Real bone/rig feature NEEDS to be the next update! After that, animation! Then we be off we a complete set of tools for the ipad
That would be great but it has limited memory, especially non pro version iPads.
Asking for too much. Nomad is exclusively for sculpting. Best we can get is a primitive posing tool for renders.
wow this could be used for so many different thing! so awesome!
thanks sm for sharing this!
really interesting.
what I usually do for human character, is using a mannequin app to give a pose to a 3d mannequin, and import it in Nomad. but your method is really good for non human creatures :)
so creative👌
Great idea!😁
This is spectacular! Thank you!
Glad you like it! Thanks for your comment I appreciate it!
super cool! I wondered if something like this could be done, but haven't sat down to figure it out! thanks Glen for your incredible mind! haha. always fun to watch!
very cool idea!
Glad you think so!
super super helpful--thanks!

And you CAN export those poses into nomad!
It looks cool, I been using magic poser. I wonder how they compare?
Very informative
Very good bro ❤
This is awesome!!!!!
Thank you!
Yeah definitely missing important Zsphere features... but WOW Nomad keeps blowing my mind!
Me too!
So cool
Great video!! Thanks again
My pleasure! Thanks for commenting!
Nice I got to try this.
Please do! Let me know how you get on.
This is exactly how I’ve always done this. I figured everyone else did too, lol.
Haha! I love it!

I guess its time to invest on Nomad rather than forger. hahahaha!!!
Cool, it reminds me of the character creator in the video game spore
zspheres in nomad sculpt, no way im been hoping we would get something like this.
I know - Nomad is so great!
This is great! I wonder if there a way to temporarily bind it to a mesh like Z spheres? I found this video in the search for a way to pose T posed character's mesh
May you also make a video for this technique on human anatomy pls? I need a visual aid hahaha..
If Nomad come to desktop, would it be direct competitor to ZBrush?
Great video, love it. Please name the groups, I know you hate it.. but watching video really helps. Thanks
Hahahaha… I don’t do it in Photoshop, zbrush, aftereffects and many more…. I am a BAD BAD BAD artist and shouldn’t be teaching be terrible habits lol. Must try harder…. As always ;)
thx again!
No problem!

Could you sculpt sci-fi realistic monster ? . I couldn’t find any tutorial for nomad anywhere.
What new Nomad course?
👏😮
Thanks!
couldn't you have used PoseIt to do the same thing? faster maybe?
I do use poseit all the time. I was thinking about none standard creatures really and of course, there are always lots of ways to do something. Exploring and experimenting is where we learn the most I find.
You can simply and more efficiently do the same with the tube tool.. You're welcome ! 😉😅
