Would you do a tutorial on how you managed to get the eye material? How you created the waves, heart, glare etc in the eye? Thanks so much!!

[@skorqion_art]

My tip would be to always use references. Eyes aren't perfectly almond shaped, they have a bit of a different form to them!
great video overall, you're improving more and more!

[@Noggi_3D]

The differences make someone unique. Thank you. :)

[@alizarinart]

Nice video! I like the lighthearted tone, it makes the Blender journey more fun and not so serious.

[@domin6168]

Eye sculpting is always my torment, thanks for showing these methods
In the end, maybe I will find one that I will enjoy creating them (Because for now it's just improvising xD)
Edit. I decided I liked the first method ;D Thx Noggi

[@Noggi_3D]

Awesome! Finding a workflow that works for you is often times a huge part in understanding the anatomy and being able to create it yourself. Have fun! :)

[@timenotspaceproduction]

this was cool to skip thru with the arrow key & see all the different nuances to approaching sculpting the eye / eyelid / socket / etc.
good video thanks :)

[@BranSculpts]

I struggle a bit on the eye placement, and I think I'm gonna give the last method you showed a go. Being able to just grab and move the whole eye and lids without having to jump out to object mode to move a uv sphere looks like a time saver.
Great vid! 👍

[@Noggi_3D]

Thanks. Yeah I try to avoid having to go out of sculpt mode as much as possible, which I why that's my favourite. :D

[@9b8ll]

Great tutorial as usual I need to try some of these tips

[@Valentintriangle]

Great video format. Thank you!

[@vladisslave.7500]

Very wholesome and informative video, thank you 😃

[@mr_don_key]

an eye "ball" is not a perfect sphere: on side it sticks out further (pupils e.g.), so it's part sphere and part oval.

[@musico_arts]

nice tip about orthographic view... just adding another tip, to increase default angle in perspective mode to something like 180, this way you don't have that huge change when changing from one mode to another

[@strangely_amelien]

When I first sculpted I was sculpting in orthographic view. I had no idea which was the real view, and got a bit frustrated when my head wasn't looking right. Heck, I didn't even know what orthographic view was until I watched your video. So, thank you!

[@lilnmm]

I never knew making eyes in blender included different techniques. I will be using this video 100x a day to just get those eyes right, they are really hard ! Thank you.

[@Noggi_3D]

Yeah I've been struggling with them myself for a long time. I'm glad this is helpful to you. :)

[@azurecat1369]

thank you very much, it was probably for me, but your way help me

[@1InVader1]

1st method is my favourite, but instead of using a simple sphere I start out with an already deformed, perfect eye. My thinking is that the eyeball has probably the least amount of variation in a human head, so it's probably the best point of reference. After that I just gotta build the eyelids and the rest of the face around them.

[@subomiayo8938]

How did you texture the eyes like it

[@hotbergina]

hello !! can you make a tutorial on how you make this kind of cartoon anime character ? Her eyes are cool, the lashes etc...

[@chouhoudway2892]

thanks man you're alawys great

[@Noggi_3D]

Thank you, my pleasure. :)

[@USBEN.]

I will use second, smooth geometry from the start, no further refining needed.

[@lndnvdraws]

How did you get that wavy effect with the iris?

[@Noggi_3D]

The "transparent" part is created by a Black + White texture. I used a noise texture to displace that texture, which created this wavy effect. :)

[@skullfire4143]

Would it be possible to get a tutorial of video about how you create your eyes? Love the way the jolyne eyes u made look! 👁👄👁

[@Noggi_3D]

Thanks!
I got gifted an Eye model a while back that I use for most of my characters. If I create one myself I usually create a model for the iris + a model for the cornea surrounding the first one to get that glossyness in there. :)

[@shivateja9417]

Ok now do a research and find the best way to make skin in blender .
You know our skin have sweat pores and dark circle and wrinkles and stretchy skin and stretch marks on body etc.

[@Tropicaya]

Please let me know when you do the research and upload the video.
Thanks

[@Noggi_3D]

So far for me it's texture painting a bump map with skin textures. :)

[@yigitb4813]

Thanks!

[@Noggi_3D]

My pleasure. :)

[@mywaymyfuture8919]

Dude, the second method is perfect for a dummy like me! Thank you!

[@Noggi_3D]

Awesome to hear that. :)

[@hamza_]

Can you tell us the best way to sculpt whilst keeping in mind that we'll use the model for rigging and animation?

[@Noggi_3D]

The only thing that changes if you want to animate it is that the body should be in an A-, or T-pose. As long as the face is neutral it doesn't change. :)

[@hamza_]

@@Noggi_3D Yes but the problem isn't about the body, rather than the interface lagging enourmesly due to high poly count

[@Noggi_3D]

Before you rig and animate the model you would want to retopologize (clean up) the model. Or you can poly model the head if you don't want to do that. :)

[@pr1meKun]

which is best pen tablet or a display tablet?

[@Noggi_3D]

I would compare pen tablets and display tablets to drawing on a pen tablet vs drawing on paper. the second one feels more natural because you can actually see the pen working. I like my pen tablet because it's smaller and more convenient. But I like my display tablet because I can be more precise. It's very subjective. :)

[@gvardiecky9507]

love videos llike that. 1000 people 1000 tastes and opinions. and its great when you see how other people do things you do. you get better understanding/to improve.

[@Noggi_3D]

True. Even just changing your workflow/adapting a new one can teach you new things sometimes. :)

[@papasalvo]

Do you have a beginners course on sculpting?

[@Noggi_3D]

I have a few follow-along sculpting tutorials, but no specific beginner tutorials. :)

[@user-rm2pz2pe2m]

so how to make eyeball TT

[@TheAngelArrow]

funny, i don]t use any of these
guess my method alone is the honored one & i'm gatekeeping it

[@smr3271]

Lip method pls 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
