I started my 3D life with Blender few years back. And I learned Zbrush for sculpting my characters, (becoz its cool) and used blender for retopology and other stuffs. But what I see in the development phase of 2.80 and the upcoming release is most of the Zbrush features is adding into blender one by one. Feels like Blender never wants me to switch to any other programs for my 3d needs. Hats off to the development team... especially to the sculpting branch that on development. Pls give more love to UV tools and texturing workflow... Lets make blender the most insane 3D tool..!
For everyone wondering how he got the ball in Sculpt mode: if you open a new project as "Sculpting" instead of "General" (e.g. in the File -> New menu) the ball will be your default asset instead of the cube.
Just some side knowledge, this guy was a good choice for sculpting! He's the one that sculpted the girl, dog, and crazy creature in the Blender short Spring! He has an art station for his credentials haha
Thank you! So many small things make this great. Good diction, few annoying verbal bad habits, and helpful tips for a beginner. So many experienced users forget what it's like to accidentally hit a key and have no idea how you just messed up the interface. Kudos

@@bobross9370 Are you talking about Pablos dynamic remeshing system? Saw it on Blender Today, looks amazing! I think both dyntopo and dynamic remeshing will be usefull though.. just like in ZB, they kept the scultpris pro feature, which lots of people love and use.
Just getting into this stuff. I want to learn how to do this 3D thing. It is amazing. I find it very challenging and I am willing to try and learn how to use this software.
Assuming you´re using the pen and tablet, how do you rotate the sphere with your pen? Did you set it to have middle mouse button on the buttons on your pen or tablet?
Sorry if this was explained later in the video but when I use the tools in sculpting they don’t look as clean as it does in this video? Is there a reason for that?
Sometimes while sculpting a few brushes invert (for example to lay strips of clay I need to press Ctrl). I am aware of the fact that the tools have a + and - switch. So, to lay strips of clay, the switch has to be on the - position. What’s going on?
My dynamic topology isn't working at all like in your video, I just the smallest point, no swirling snake hook. Any idea what I mite be doing wrong, I have selected the snake hook tool and the dyntopo option?
Hi everyone, I just wanted to ask if you can change a keybinding like ,,shift+spacebar" into ,,side-mousebutton+spacebar" , because i have multiple buttons on my mouse, however keybindings only seem to work in the order: ,,hold key then press mousebutton" and not :,,hold mousebutton then press key". Thank you to anyone who is willing to answer my question :)
Why is his sculpt so smooth I have watched to the end to when he used multiresolution and I've even looked into subsurface modifier but my model always looks pixely or weird his looks smooth and high resolution
In object mode, select the object, right click and choose "Shade Smooth". Another thing you can do it to increase your object subdivisions. To do this go into edit mode, press 3 to go into face selection, press a to select all faces, right click and choose subdivide. Do this about 2 - 3 times. In case you didn't know. But if you already knew, just disregard this comment.
Is he using graphics tablet all of the time? or switching between it and a mouse?? (I don't have a graphic tablet and never seen one) & Is it okay to use the cheapest graphic tablet with blender or there should be some requirements ? Thanks.
Can someone help me with this? I'm trying to sculpt a simple bust. I have a base shape but when I use for example the clay tool on it it will actually add volume on the side of the head but it will actually subtract/smooth on the front of the head? Very strange... could it be that I have a setting wrong? This is in blender 2.9
Hi I am a total beginner and can't figure out how you apply the same brush to different sides at the same time. at 3.50 you draw one thing but it appears as you apply two. How do you do that. Hope I could explain my problem.
Can someone tell me how he used box hide from edit mode @15:05 ? I can't seem to figure it out. I can do it from sculpt mode, just not also from edit mode like he did.
2:17 How would one use these tools on a MacBook Air? I’ve been hitting control before clicking with the trackpad, since that was what came up when I searched for an equivalent to left-clicking, but it doesn’t seem to work.
Excuse me does shift +x permanently delete unused textures or materials as well?, I find it finikey to have to change my outliner settings and dig for it just to do a simple task such as that
textures with 0 users are kept in the program's memory, but (as long as it hasn't changed from 1.79) are deleted upon closing the program. You must delete them manually if you would like to during a session. This helps both with juggling single-use textures during work (imagine how bad it would be if you had to remake a texture every time you deleted an object with one) and saving save file memory. You can also just put it on something or package the texture in the save file if you want it permanently tied to the file, regardless of external files. basically, blender sweeps up the failed tests and leftover chaff after you close it.
Hi, I was watching the video and I found really helpful the F1 help option, but I tried it in my blender and it didn't work, is there a reason? I'm on 2.83.1, the right clic option is functional but the F1 seems to do nothing, any help would be appreciate it :) EDIT: I just tried again and it only works with certain options, for example in the material panel, the F1 option works, but in the viewport it doesn't, like going to the viewport option "Add>Mesh>Plane" and pressing the F1 it does nothing, but you can right clic and go to "Online Manual" with no problems, so... maybe a bug? :D
Yep, the Function keys are somewhat janked. I'm on 2.90 and definitely not able to use some function keys. I have a feeling it's because my F1 is bound to a Windows function (mute volume).
Sketchup Pro : export as .OBJ Sketchup Free : convert your .SKP files to .OBJ or .STL files online (search for "skp to obj online converter") Anyway, take a deep breath and prepare yourself for a lot of cleaning after that in blender.
Yes but it will be sculpted and no crisp like a boolean removal. Also, don't forget virtually all object sculpted are retopologised before use in any output format be it EeVee, game engine, Cycles, export to other packages etc.
btw how did you get rid of the double sculpting for me when i sculpt it does it like this I I I I when i wanna do I I anyone any idea it will be really helpful if you can solve this prob for me thx!!
Videos with all this informative content should at least be translated into Spanish. This would reach a broad Blender user base whose languages are Romanesque in Portuguese, Italian and even French (with some effort). Another thing, I would like to sign up for Blender Cloud, but it would be unhelpful for me because of all the English content. One more thing, congratulations on the initiative to demystify key parts of using Blender's sculpture mode. For the most common mistake I find on the part of developers and their incredibly powerful creations is that they forget to teach, to explain clearly and patiently how to use the resources of their creations. So take note of these suggestions and continue explaining how to use Blender without fear of sharing knowledge, teaching improved workflow techniques. Blender needs this! More and more people should be attracted to using Blender to sculpt, model, texture and animate commercially in many languages. Hugs!

i would love to know too
Swhiz I actually figured this out later if you open blender and press sculpting instead of just like new project or whatever it should fix it
whenever i'm in object mode and go back to modes to sculpture my creation the option does not appear. How can I fix this?
This is a video that I needed!
when i open up sculpter for the first time i just have a grey cube and none of my brushes work on it PLEASE HELP

Hi! As we are so new in sculpting, could you advise which pen tablet is suitable for us? Thank you!
How do you get the brush and tools to work symmetrically across an axis??
How do i do so the brush dosent change size depending on where the camera is
Now the question is how do you export a lower poly model while exporting the higher detail as a bump map?
wooah that video was awesome
What should I upgrade in my PC to handel high res sculpt?
I CAME HERE WITH A TRACKPAD BUT IM GETTING A NEW WACOM TABLET YAYYYY
Do we need to sub divide the object before sculpting??
My guess is that the more you subdivide the better the sculpt happens
Why Subdivide? BLENDER has Dynamic topology for sculpting?
What if you want to sculpt a body how do u add objects while sculpting ?????
Why can't I do anything in sculpt mode?

Hi I am a total beginner and can't figure out how you apply the same brush to different sides at the same time. at 3.50 you draw one thing but it appears as you apply two. How do you do that. Hope I could explain my problem.
Choose the tool that has the double lines, like the 12 and 13th tool down.
What is the difference between the smooth brush and pressing shift with any other tool?
Afaik there is no difference. Shift is just a shortcut to get to smoothing easily and fast.
So I have a cube and I have the sculpt view selected. I'm clicking around on the shape and NOTHING happens? Why? What am I doing wrong?
subdivide it, a few times. it needs more vertices
why does my sculpting look so pixelated while yours looks so smooth?
Hi, If you press ctrl+"2" on mesh , it should subdivide it some more :)
Yes i was have the same problem, to fix it you should increase the subdivision.
thank you so much for the information and very lear keep it up man
Can someone tell me how he used box hide from edit mode @15:05 ? I can't seem to figure it out. I can do it from sculpt mode, just not also from edit mode like he did.

2:17 How would one use these tools on a MacBook Air? I’ve been hitting control before clicking with the trackpad, since that was what came up when I searched for an equivalent to left-clicking, but it doesn’t seem to work.
Never mind! My problem was just that my starting shape didn’t have enough vertices for me to see any effect.
Can you bring in a model that was box modeled in another program and add detail in Blender, then bring it back to the other program for animating?
Seems our friend went to Holland to learn 3D design and came back with the accent too.
is it possible to bake a vector displacement map from the sculpt?
