    Hey Bran thank you for the nice tutorial! I notice as i try to use shrinkwrap that you didnt mention to join the ear with the head at 15:34. So if anyone have problems with it try to join both of them together

      Ah I rewatched it and see what you mean. From what I remember, I had some trouble when editing this video and lost some of the footage and ended up rerecording some parts and must have forgot. Thanks for pointing it out, I'll pin your comment in case someone has trouble 👍

    22:18 Here you Instantly have a shrinkwrap around the head, which you connected to the ear. This wouldve helped me for the next video. I was trying to figure out, how you had the form of the ears, lips, nose and cheek like like in your sculpt head.

    Wonderful tutorial series, it's helping me out so much! There is a cut in the video at around 10:57 though where a loop cut must have been added to the cheek because the number of verts don't match once you start on the mouth so if anyone is having trouble just a add a loop cut on the cheek!

      Funny how I was just remembering how unreasonably difficult retopo seemed when I was new to Blender. Guess it's hard for a learner to finally get a model to look the way they want and then realize there's a lot more work to do? I think it's pretty common

    " The heck is that?" at 13:23 killed me.🤣. I have to say this is the first tutorial (I have done my fair share) that shows a practical way of understanding the face loops and guiding how to place them. Most tutorials tell you where the loops should be then the person goes on the create stuff in the air that, for them not me, magically seem to always come together. Your tut demystifies head re-topology and makes it look doable by mere mortals. I tried, box modelling- struggled with the face loops. I tried adding a plane and extruding straight on reference image to quickly build the head - struggled with polygon cuts that didnt match and end up creating Tris and N-gons. I then tried blocking and sculpting... that gave me a workable and somewhat decent mess of a mesh to start retopo on but the idea of retopology especially on the head literally stopped me proceeding. I never understood how the head polygons and the face loops could eventually end up together without some voodoo witchcraft methods that most tuts expect you to suddenly understand. I am almost in tears just realizing this tutorial is the best thing since I decided to create my own characters and I just really wanted to say THANK YOU mate. This is by far the best tutorial I have seen on this subject.

    • @BranSculpts
      @BranSculpts  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Aww.... that is so kind of you. I hope that I explain everything as simple and clear as I can when I make these videos. I went through a lot of tuts and found a workflow that works for me. I am still working on making the process easier for myself as well as anybody else who watches these. Always learning and trying to do better. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing your end results.

      I've been sculpting my own character, but following your process *very* closely as it's my first time doing any form of high-poly modelling/retopology and I was nervous about making a mess. It wasn't until I got towards the end of this video that I started experimenting more with my own loops, to better fit my character's non-pointy ears.
      Either way, I doubt I'd have made as much progress as I have so far without these tutorials. The workflow is super intuitive, and presented so succinctly. More importantly, following along is giving me great results in my own work. Thank you so much for putting these out!

    Hi Bran! At first, thanks for your videos, they help me too much with my degree :)
    Furthermore, at minute 5:33, when i extrude, the vertex dont do the same as you, dont converge in the center and enter in the other side.
    Do you know what the problem could be?
    I hope you could help me, thank you so much

    • @Mkryptonite5
      @Mkryptonite5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I solve that! If happened the same to you, when you use mirror, press "clipping" and then the vertex converge in the center :)

    Your tutorial series is great, Bran! Very detailed and well explained.
    However, it made me wonder about this: why spend time sculpting if the end result will drop a lot of that high poly, nice detail placed upon the naked body, the very fine details. Isn't that wasted, partially at least, since the end model will be simplified, then clothed and low poly anyway?
    I understand the retopology necessity, for animation, rigging, performance in various use cases, exporting to game engines.
    I might have missed the explanation of your workflow, but after the retopology, you didn't explain or perform any baking of the sculpted mesh onto the low poly one. I learned that this is one popular way of preserving the details while decreasing the poly count. Did you have an alternative?
    Or did you intend to keep a sufficient and good enough level of detail with only the retopology and you think you didn't need any extra steps? Sorry if I didn't follow exactly, this confused me a bit as I thought there must be a follow up to the retopology, to regain the detail.

    Thank you for this set of videos. I've attempted to bring my, admittedly substandard, 2D art into a 3D character 4 times. Each time working with different methods and none of them were really working out for me. I couldn't made the workflow work for me. But after going through the first four videos I was able to get the head retopologized.
    Though the ears gave me a problem since I'm working on a human character with a rounded ear. I got the head down to 3112 faces / 6224 triangles which is a very good start for my, self imposed, budget of 6t0->80 tringles for the body, and everything is a nice quad. One thing I was wondering, is near the end of this video you selected half the faces, deleted them, created a new mirror modifier and applied it. Why not use the automirror tool? It seems to do selection, deletion, modifier add portion of it.

    I’m using blender 2.9 and can’t find the paint and also color filter tool in sculpt mode so I used the draw tool in vertex paint mode, tho now I can’t see the painted surfaces when I return to the other modes…
    I’m still new to blender so this is so confusing; but I assume this is because my version is outdated?

    Hello, first of all, great work and great videos. I had real difficulty comprehending how to sculpt on 3D software. Thanks to your tutorials, the workflow seems to me more apprehensible.
    But I have difficulty.
    Before I started part 5, I made the big-no-no by applying the modifier Subdivision on the retopo model of the head. The problem is that I have too many polygons on the model, and I'm kind of stuck because I can’t use the vertices (to do the manipulation as shown at 06.12).I tried to redo the retopo of the head, but now the problem is that I don't have another version of the file before I joined the sculpt of the head with the body. And so it's a mess-up for working vertices by vertices with the Face Project. There are many “bugs”, so the margin of error dissuades me from continuing that way.
    So here I am, kind of stuck. The most recent version of the file that I can restart is before the sculpt of the head. And I don’t want to redo all of the process before I am sure there's no other option to correct my mess.
    So what I'm searching for is a way to decrease the number of polygons in my retopo model (like the Subdivision modifier but in reverse).
    I don’t have many ideas of what process I can do.
    If someone can tell me If he has any ideas or advice to give me to do the thing, I'd be very grateful.
    P.S: Sorry for the probable grammar mistakes. English is not my mother tongue.

    • @BranSculpts
      @BranSculpts  ปีที่แล้ว

      You could try the decimate modifier and set it to un-subdivide. I don't have much experience with it tho, so I'm not sure if it would bring your mesh back to the way it was. If your willing to do the retopo again, you can separate the head from the body if you'd like. Just as long as you didn't remesh the head and body sculpt together for some reason.
      Bring the head/body into edit mode, then with your mouse over the head, press the L key to select linked verts. This should select just the vers of the head. Press ctrl P and separate selection. Tab out of edit mode, and you should have the head by itself again.
      Lemme know how it goes. Good luck! 👍
