How you should Sculpt EVERYTHING! 

glad you found it helpful. gl and hf with your sculpting

100% agree

maybe include their name and other info when you post things like this ? thx

Glad you like it and that's great you've seen both in person. Thank you man, cheers

Glad to hear it!

Glad to hear it was helpful

Glad it was helpful!

thank you dude, I appreciate that!

not gonna lie, I didn't expect to like art history as much as I did. I wish I remembered half the stuff we learned in there

@@artofjhill I studied architecture and art history lectures were the most amazing ones for me. I've learnt a lot from those classes.

Is there any book for master sculptors and all those sculpting themes like Renaissance? I feel like i want to know more about sculpting history but idk how i would get the primary forms of sculpting history .. like , boom , Renaissance , this one the other the next.. this sculptors lived this time . They focus on this..

It's useless study

@@kirbyscreativity You're useless.

Glad you like them

Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers

Super glad to hear that. Glad you learned some stuff and thanks for sticking around :)

Where can I find this course?

@@PerryM4Nd It's called ''Character Creation for Video Games with J Hill''. You should be able to find it easily

@@Nicolas-of6li Thanks man!

@@PerryM4Nd Np, enjoy

Thank YOU I’m glad you liked it

Thank you! Glad you like the videos

Happy to hear that

Glad you liked it

Np!

Glad you liked the video :)

Oh man jealous. When I went I got stopped at the front desk because i hadn’t made an appointment. Heartbreaking.

@@artofjhill ohh man, that's heartbreaking news. That's true, I almost didn't make it either, if it wasn't the tour company guide I wouldn't be aware of. But I'm certain you will live to visit some other day! When you go back to italy definetly check it out, it's amazing, really!

happy to do it. I hope it helps

go for it!

You got it, what you said is precisely why I wanted to talk about it. Cheers

Glad you enjoyed it!

It is! I should’ve mentioned that in the video

De nada

For sure. I hope it helps

Thank you man, appreciate the comment. Glad you like it and I hope you keep working on your art

NP!

Thank you. I hope it helps some people

awesome, good luck with your thesis

Lol love you too bro

glad you liked the vid. You can most likely get better topology that you want by adjusting the shape of the mesh before using Zremesher. Also, whatever it's doing I bet you could work with it. It may not be perfect but i t's much better to sculpt with proper basemeshes rather than straight Dynamesh

Np hope it helps

@@artofjhill I like to support you, is not a lot because the exchange of my currency but I try to support you mate :-)

Everyone will work a bit different but I’d argue everyone would be “finishing” primary forms first, secondary second, and tertiary last. Things are more fluid in digital and you can can bounce back and forth but you’d still be following this principle. Regardless of experience. At least it’s the ideal, most efficient way

💯

I remeshed the head and hat but the teeth I had already made a base set so I just imported it. I made the primary form one just as an example of thinking about it in a simple way

​@@artofjhill Thanks for your reply! The more I get into Zbrush, the more I feel the need of more subtools. So excited to sculpt that I've a bad habit of attacking the whole on a single mesh, but the more I see and sculpt the more I understand that subdividing my model into parts, like I would normaly do by layering in 2D, is way simpler and fast approach. Because when I've only one mesh, intersections are hard to do properly (like for fat on the body), global shapes are hard to maintain. Even when using masking. I think I loose something, that initially blocking with multiple simple shapes would save me hours of resculpts. For my next model, I think to use spheres for each teeth and one for gum. Dig between teeth by remeshing one single mesh is messy and painful. I usually do a base mesh in Maya or Blender, then sculpt it, but I'd love to do the whole thing in Zbrush now! Need more training on base meshing in Z, and more subtools! I've seen TPoseMesh tool on another video you posted, great tool, looks essential when using several sub-tools! Was afraid to cut mesh into parts before that. Now with that tool, I feel reassured to be able to continue working on the overall shape despite the number of subtools! Thank you very much.

from a pure sculptural point of view you'd do it all in the pose. For various production reasons that may not be the case but often you'll start with a basemesh or something in an A or T pose then pose it and work from there

@@artofjhill This is a hobby for me, not production, so the pure sculptural perspective is very helpful. Thanks.

Glad you liked it! You should look into it for sure. Endless wells of knowledge out there

No YOU

You do it by hand very carefully. This isn’t the workflow for that though, if the intention is to do a character for animation then you’d build it as such

depends. heads and hands are split (along with any other part where the seams would be hidden from costume) because it allows for higher poly count and good speeds. Makes isolation simpler etc. polycount is hard to say but if baking it to a 2K texture map or even a 4K for the head probably 10-20 million would be enough. for more resolution you'd use HD geometry to get up closer to 100 million for 8K fine work but that's rare. Can also always do fine detail with textures which is very common and I always mix in a tiling fine detail noise anyway

No problem

💯

wow thank you, I appreciate the comment. Glad you liked the video!

Hi, thanks. Currently I’m just doing a few mentorships on the side. Email or DM me for info on that if you’re interested. Cheers

@@artofjhill Thanks for your swift reply, means a lot.

lol. I don't have a better outro. I'll embrace the cringe

yea I think they may have been painted but not sure

💯

you're right I should. I credited her when I posted on Instagram but should have here too.

@@artofjhill thank you J Hill for doing it and responding !

Several a day

Someone else mentioned him and I looked him up. Cool stuff!

sculpting with Zbrush is the best

and if it were marble you could only take away.

@@artofjhill I do like both - take away, and add. Some sculpters have difficulty with one or the other. Two different mind sets.

AYE IT IS ! that's fye

thank you. keep working at it!

yes but less buff

That’s just my face
