  • 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!

    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
      @BranSculpts  ปีที่แล้ว +96

      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.

    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

      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.

    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 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.

    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. :)

You'll get to where you want to be creatively if you allow yourself to learn it slowly.

    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.

    Fun fact, you can just type in any units into the object dimensions and it'll automatically do the conversion for you. So you can just type in 5'5" and then hit enter and it'll leave the units in meters.
    And of course don't forget to apply transforms when youre manipulating these things in object mode.

    I gotta say. I've tried to pick up 3D 4 years ago with the doughnut tutorial (you know which one I'm talking about lol) And abandoned so fast. Tried it again last year by trying to modify a VROID 3D model (I'm currently using that for my VTuber model) because I wanted to use it as a base... but that also was so daunting I left it. Now... THIS TUTORIAL!!! This series I've watched twice already and I'm now following it along using my own reference for my dream model. Boy I'm thrilled to say: you had got me hooked! I'm actually getting used to navigating Blender AND getting the hang of sculpting! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!! (sorry for the wall of text XD)

    I took "game design" classes in college and they taught me some basic 3d modeling (hard surface) stuff in maya, but it doesn't compare to how comprehensive and helpful this tutorial is.
    There's other modeling tutorials out there but this one is so nice for literally walking through Step 1 and beyond and you saying exactly what you're doing even if its the same thing over and over again (add cube, subdivide) it's just So Nice, compared to ones where it's like "okay start with your already blocked out form" or "we'll sculpt a whole face from just a circle" despite not having any sculpting skills.
    Thank you so much for posting this and can't wait to try part 2

    Thank you. As you say right in the beginning.

So my sincerest thanks for your wisdom in doing this.

Although nothing feels cooler than watching a video that's completely unrelated to sculpting characters and picking up an awesome tip that dovetails into your own workflow!

    i've started using blender almost 4months ago now so i like that i'm familiar with most of the shortcut here, and also got a good intro to blocking out stuff, cuz my current only male body mesh was done modeling it.
    btw if you are a total beginner, if you moved ANY item in object mode, please, just get back a few steps back, and enter edit mode before moving anything, i messed up so many project without knowing that this would cause issue with some modifiers. Either don't move items in object mode, if you did it though, look for how to apply scale and rotation, cuz further done the road, it may mess up your fun ! can't wait to see the rest of the tutorial, i wish it was a netflix series that drop from ep 1 to final the same day haha !

      oh man, I had the same problem! I don't dare move things in object mode.
      I had thought about trying to get all of these recorded and edited before I uploaded anything, but I figured I had enough footage to get up to retopology so I'll just edit those and upload as I get them done since the videos up to retopo could stand on their own to make base meshes. Just trying to keep the content flowing.
