[@MetiriPersonal]

Wow, excellent video! thank you so much for the info. made a lot of things in 3d and face topology finally click

[@SmallRobotStudio]

Yay! I am happy to hear that. THanks for the kind comment ❤

[@Rattlik]

Thanks for great tutorial. Even if I became lost in some parts cause I was trying to match exact number of segments as you do (especially in the nose area - mine was much smaller), I am very satisfied with my first head retypology result!

[@SmallRobotStudio]

Yay that is awesome to hear! The nose is the most complicated part for me, it always takes me ages and I have to revise what I have done in the past cuz I get lost.

[@donut865]

This is exactly what I need!thx so much!

[@SmallRobotStudio]

Happy to help :)

[@Rinkyu]

Thank you!

[@rodolflum3444]

VERY GOOD TUT, The only problem is the ui is too small for a tutorial. that is the problem of too many tutorial having a mice like interface instead of a rabbit for a good view and clear view of what commands are you doing.

[@Glowbox3D]

Anyone have any issues when selecting viewport display > backface culling? I tik this box and I still see my face through the back. I'm using Blender 2.93.5

[@SmallRobotStudio]

What's your favorite retopology tool?

[@Zakoyo]

Thanks for the tutorial, Retopoflow is an amazing tool, could we get a similar Tutorial but for other body parts, thanks!

[@SmallRobotStudio]

​@@Zakoyo Oh yeah, I think it's worth paying for the add on.
And yes, absolutely. We'll definitely make more sculpting/retopo tutorials on the rest of the body.
Cheers

@@SmallRobotStudio its available for free without support

[@SmallRobotStudio]

@@split5887is it? Cool, may I ask how you can access the free version?

[@angelapan7740]

If needing to rig a character as a beginner, would nomad to blender be possible? Or would it be better to 3D model and rig it all in blender? ; v ;

[@SmallRobotStudio]

You can definitely use Nomad to sculpt the high poly version but you will need to retopologize the model in Blender before rigging it. Modeling directly in Blender is also an option it just depends on where you prefer to model!

[@nakamuramichiko7379]

Hello im still new to this. Just started and i want to know how can you make the sculpture move for example a bouncing ball what software can i use.

[@SmallRobotStudio]

You'd need to rig it for animation which is quite involved. It would require creating a bone system or deformer controls to make it transform, rotate and scale
