Johnny Blender 2.0 - Part 4 - Topology and Sculpt Tools

[2hafstylezk]

when u made the nose and u extruded.. did u delete the original faces that u extruded from? cuz if not im confused

[Threadsto12]

For some reason when I add an eye it gets stuck and attaches itself to the skin of the eye, how do I fix it?

[dreaz1000]

ever time i sculpt my object is no longer visible but it still sculpts it does any one know why that happens???

[ward7299]

@dreaz1000 the developers have changed the way that sculpt mode behaves so that you won't be able to see any other "deforming mesh" modifiers (mirror, subsurf, etc.)

Woah how do you get sub surf to work in sculpt mode?

I have to use multi-res

[Hyroyan98]

it is telling me Not supported by sculpt mode when i try to sculpt in with modifiers like subsurf

When you talked about topology, I thought - Yeah, that's what's wrong with my mesh. I have a hard time getting the topology to be clean, especially around the nose area. I've been following along with the videos... After seeing this one, I'm wondering if I should start over and try to get better topology so future tasks are easier. However, this is my first "real-life" Blender project, so if it doesn't turn out perfect, I'm not going to sweat it. Thanks for posting such a great tutorial!

Doesn't matter what I do, my face topology looks like poop. Body topology is cool, but face topology is poop.

2:38 i actually found merging of superfluous vertices to be more effective and frankly more satisfying than smoothing.i know from the first johnny blender that you hate triangles, but tjust give it a whack and I think you'll see the benefit.

dude seriously that look like my brother i'm not even kidding.

Hey Dave, your movies also in Germany where watched and its realy amazing!!

[Unhurdof1]

Great work Dave! See you in the next one!

[ffKingcreole]

i normaly add faces in edge select mode (only need 2 mouseclics) and merging all of those vertecies could be done a little more easy by erasing the middle and moving the outer ones in.

a little hint: if you wanna sculpt with more polygons use multiresolution instead of subsurf and click subdivide once or twice

i guess you wont read this so i hope you might find multiresolution sometime soon

[ward7299]

@ffKingcreole right, i'll get to the sculpt tools a lot more indepth when we start working on a high-rez model (for things like wrinkles, pores, veins, scars etc) to bake a normal map from.

[ffKingcreole]

you can add those faces faster in edge select mode

Great tutorial as usual, keep them coming :D

Thanks ward for making these videos that really are helping :) i am wonder is it worth getting the newest version of blender even though its not stable yet ?

[ward7299]

@goku21060 the beta version is pretty stable; there do seem to be a few bugs left here and there, but overall, it's more powerful than previous versions already
