When art and artiste are understanding each other
🙂
I'm always Amazed by artists who can capture likeness and translate things with ease, it's like they drink a coffee or walking, it's natural thing in them and that's wonderfull.
Thank you for this wonderful word’s. It always a pleasure to make art that so many people can enjoy. And it’s a great motivation for artists when reading such comments. 🙏😊
This is the best thirteen minutes I have ever seen. This is a clear definition of art💖
You guy’s are so kind. Thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏😊
What is the song called?

Looks amazing! A couple of questions:
-What's your workflow like between Dynamesh/Subdivisions? It looks like around 9:56 your poly count quadruples for that subtool, so it appears you subdivide straight from the dynamesh model without any zremeshing? Is that correct?
-When you bring the model into Blender, did you decimate it first, or just through it in at 100% of the resolution? What was your final poly count for the entire model?
Thanks!
Hi, thank you and thank you for your question.
Yes you can subdivide dynamesh meshes. I do it a lot to. I dynamesh the geometry low and subdivide it a couple times. ZRemesh would work too.
Yes I decimate the mesh before bringing it to Blender. This speeds up the render time. I try to be at about 1million polygons, is still high enough.
I hope this helps you with your project :)
I cant even make a ball shape, this is very impressive 😮
Thank you very much 😊
Поразительно, как меняется от покраски и детализации образ. Если на начальном этапе мне видился такой тощенький, пожилой казак (ну, с такими усами!), то под конец это был уже даже не сатир (ну, я думаю, что это что-то такое, в фентези ключе), а что-то пугающее, какой-то злодей. Вот из-за этого свороченного как бы на бок лица создается ощущение чего-то злодейского чисто внешне. (Если уж вы хотели показать, что он подмигивает, вам надо было и нос чуточку в ту сторону наклонить. Саму прямую носа. А так стало похоже, будто он с кем-то дрался, ему нос со смещением сломали, он сдвинулся, и теперь, вот, скошено немного. У боксеров такие травмы бывают, когда им ломают нос. Одна маленькая деталь, а делает все лицо мимически неестественным, и из-за этого ты прямо напрягаешься, сразу чувствуешь, что с лицом что-то не так.)
I am new to creating characters and I’m amazed at how you create from primitives, etc… Do you have any recommendations of course(s) I could take to learn this process?
Hey, thank you very much. Yes you can watch my live streams. There I use primitives a lot to create my characters. If you want to learn more basics etc. check out my patreon page. 😊
Amazing, how do you load the image on the top left of zbursh?
Thank you :)
you find it here on this video.

Can anyone explain how he made the collar, turning a cylinder into a cylindrical plane and then removing the front faces of the plane?
Hey thank you for this question. It’s not easy to answer via writing but I try. I take the cylinder and delete parts that I don’t need. You can do it either with zmodeler or delete invisible/hidden polygons. And use then zmodeler for extruding the shape so I got some thickness. I hope this helps you 😊
Astonished by such a resemblence 100% Better than the same ! So accurate, Love your art way.
Thank you so much 🤗
this is insane. you are so talented. i cant imagine the hours you have put into your craft. love and the pursuit of truth
@@ProjectDefi thank you so much 😊
@@viktor-moor you're welcome. I'm a fellow artist. Most people don't know the sacrifices made. They just say I wish I could draw. I lived in my car for a year as a struggling artist before my sacrifices paid off
@@ProjectDefi oh wow thats heavy. I hope it worked out for you. but I truly understand your passion. many artists live in a situation like that. wich I feel sometimes unworthy. many studios make this big mistake and underastimate the passion of artists like you and me. I am still not in the situation where I can say I can live a relaxed live, doing freelancing. buisiness is still a hard pavement.
@@viktor-moor I have been so blessed. It's been an incredible journey. Bruce Lee said something epic. He said. I don't wish for an easy life. I wish to have the strength to endure a difficult life.
@viktor-moor you are so worthy and you earned it. It shows in your work
how do u make visible and invisible the reference picture?
I use the see through method. You find the slider in the top right corner.
Здоровское моделирование, очень интересно. А когда глаза вставили, у этого козлорогого дядьки сразу такое перепуганое выражение сделалось. 😁👍
Thanks :)
"How is the app called, which you are doing this with?"
This is ZBrush I’m using
Fantastic!!! Can we see more Sci fi Elements? Spaceship?
hey thank you for the inspiration. If this is something you guys want, I can do that in the future.

What tool do you use to cut the spheres in the first 10 seconds of the video?
Lol I was struggling with the same problem rn. Hold ctrl+shift. It’s clipcurve
@@pruebaloshuevos exactly, thank you for the helping out 👍
How did you export hipoly from zbrush to blender?
Hey, I use the GoZ Link for exchanging between ZBrush and Blender.
@@viktor-moor I didn't even know about it. Thanks!)
amazing artwork! what is the name of the song in the background?
Thanks :)

@@viktor-moor lovely choice of music, it suits the sculpt so well
Aa❤aq1!
Can i request somethung too? Can you make a model of my character??
Hey thank you for the offer. Unfortunately I do no private commissions, sorry.
@@viktor-moor oh, well.. it's okay!
I just get amazed watching sculpting like this ❤
Thank you so much 😊🙏
can you give any explained content plz
Hey, I have explained content on my patreon. If you like check it out.
I'm on tilt
Thank you 🙏
thank you for this amazing video, it inspire me to try to learn a new hobby :D
You are welcome 😊
Where do you best finde such cool 2d concept art headshots?
Hey I find 2D concepts on google
@@viktor-moor Whats you best search promt for headshots like these?
@@atomicshrimpFT you can search for stylized character portrait/concept. You will find a lot on google links to Pinterest or artstation.
How can I get in touch to make a modeling quote for a character I need?
Hey thank you for your interest. You can find my contact in my bio in the profile. You can contact me on artstation then.
Hi, may I know what's your PC setup?
Actually my PC setup is nothing fancy. My PC is arround 10 years old now. For work like this you don't need a high end machine.
@@viktor-moor thanks. I'm just new to Blender. Hoping to get better at it. 🙏
@@ianescares119 Great to hear that. A new video ist coming soon, where I show my full process of creating game ready characters in ZBrush, Blender and substance painter. If you like to get live lessons in 3D arts please visit my patreon. I offer lessons via discord and feedback sessions. 🖖
amaaaazing ! ! ! !!! !
@@SayceBuckleyFreak thank you 😊
how to import cinema4d
There is a cinema4d bridge called GoZ to exchange models between zbrush and cinema.
can i ask how to lock the view like ref and get back to normal view, what is the shortcut for that? or just u move it normaly? tks u
you can save your view using the animation timeline or use the ZApplink properties so save your view.
Nice work and background music also...can I get that music name?
Thank you.
The music is a medieval fantasy track from pixabay
Hey, :) how many poly count did you use at the beginning?
Actually I never watch at the poly count. I use as little as I can when I need controls over the overall shape and more polygons for details.
Really could use your models in my gamedev some day. If you gonna share some codez
What kind of games are you working on?
Don't make me wanna go back sculpting.
Nice video
Come to the dark side 🐻
This soundtrack is very good, I like it very much
Thanks, yes I liked this kind of medieval sound.
came out great. Love seeing more stylized content promoted
Thank you. Yes it's so much fun working on stylized characters because they always have so much charm on them.
Но ролик потрясный. Автору - браво.
Cara ficou top demais, parabéns!!!
Thank you :)
umm, few things... speaking from me being a complete beginner n someone who wanna learn.. this is mind-blowing work n I really love it. but when it said step by step, I thought I would be able to see the steps bit in real-time or just not too fast, because I could not catch on to it. steps were written below but they went away too fast unless you wanted us to slow down the video n follow along. umm, but it's something that even I wrote on my recent video, but I had basically shown it in timelapse, so I'm not the right person to point it out either. but I kinda added a voice to try to explain what I was right, but even when it comes to voice it's my first attempt, so I can't defend myself much on that front.
Hey, thank you for your feedback. sorry to hear that you couldn’t follow the video that easy. But I’m happy that you tried to learn from it. Actually the full sculpt took some hours to complete. Unfortunately no one will follow a video that’s hours long. I tried to make a compromise between a tutorial and a Timelapse. I for example learned a lot from Timelapse videos when I was a student some time ago. The internet was not full of free tutorials back then like nowadays. If you like to learn and have some guidens from me you can visit my patreon there you will find voice over courses, get live lessons and much more. I hope you still follow my videos and can learn from them and if you have a specific questions, don’t hesitate to ask me.
@@viktor-moor definitely. These videos are treasures even in forms of Timelapse. As of now kinda broke so won’t be able to go for patreon but definitely consider me your subscriber and consistent and beinge watcher.
@@Kartikdraws I’m sorry to hear that. Maybe some day, when the support is big enough and my English is good enough I can give my commented videos from patreon for free so everyone can enjoy and learn from them. I wish you the best and hope to hear from you again soon 👋
Hola Como Hiso eso
It’s pure magic 🪄😁
Hello Kaktusbaer. Great technique for the eyelids.
Thank you 😊
Hello, where did you learn to model this character?
Are you using 3d Max software??
Hey, I was in art school. But actually I learned just the basics there. Sculpting characters like this I learned by working as freelancer. Here in this video I use ZBrush and Blender.
If you are interested in learning modeling like that, visit my patreon. There I have a lot courses about sculpting, modeling etc.
@@viktor-moor oh okay, I’m in college for Graphic Technology and I want to learn how to model my own characters but some of my classes aren’t teaching that.
@@krislynb.4506 you are welcome on my patreon 😊
When you like to have the full experience I suggest you to come to the Sculpting Guru Tier. There you get full access to all courses and you get a private lesson every month.
@@viktor-moor okay, thank you. I’ll check it out
bro very cool. make more shorts. subscribers must be added
thank you :)
И с черным явно переборщили. Он не был такой черный на рисунке. На рисунке, типа фавн, сатир. А на моделе, черт (не к ночи будь помянут) какой-то получился.
This video makes me really inspired, thnak you so much for this! Great work!
Thanks 😊
Hello, could you please tell me what kind of music is playing in the video?
The music is a medieval fantasy track from pixabay
@@viktor-moor Thank you so much!
Awesome! What tablet do you use?
Hey thank you 😊
I use an old Wacom tablet. Nothing special 🙈
So awesome to watch. How long have you been sculpting?
Thank you 😊
I’m sculpting for more then 15 years now.
@@viktor-moor Great work! I admire your hardwork and will start practicing to become good like you! Thanks!
@@jonosvlog9913 Great to hear that. If you are interested in a coaching from me, check out my Patreon page. I offer courses, feedback and live coaching. So check it out if you like.
awesome work! how did you lower the opacity and put the drawing above the sculpt to get the proportions right?
Hey thank you 😊
You can lower the opacity with this see through slider at the top right corner.
how you put your model in "pose" and after just retake the mirroring ?@@viktor-moor
@@ameliedevauchelle2850 hey, I use the transpose tools and masking for posing
muito massa, pena que a construcao ta muito rapida.
Hey, you can get private lessons, where I can teach you sculpting like this. Cheack out my patreon.
Great job, my compliments to you. You deserve more attention
thank you very much, I really appreciate that
@@viktor-moor He is right.
perfect!!!
Thank you :)
great choice of music ^^
Thanks 😊
I appreciate the captions.
@@_Shinique thank you 😊
what software are you using
I am using ZBrush. It is perfect for sculpting organic free form like this.
What's the name of the software
The software is called ZBrush
where is the explanation? this is not a tutorial
Did you see the text? It’s explaining the process I’m going through.
damn, I LOVE YOU !!! hahahaha
Haha I love all of my subscribers :D
aren't you stunning? 😀
Thank you :)
Just amaziiiiiingggg!!😂❤
Thank you 😊🙏
Would you agree to design a character for my game for $400??
Hey thank you for your interest. Unfortunately $400 is much to low for a game character
@@viktor-moor What amount do you think is appropriate?? Price to be good for you and me
@@thefutureisours9195 I cannot tell you one number for all/every character. It always depends on the needs. If it is a private project you are working on, it’s probably to expensive to hire me.
thats cool
Thank you :)
Tamer black desert 3d e o 🙏
Hey thank you for your suggestion. I will see if I find a good and interesting art design of that character 👍
Superb Talent ❤😊
Thank you 🙏😊
WOW!😍 Wait next tutorial🤗
Working on it 🙂
incredible

Sculpt in blender! 😑
Do you use Blender for sculpting?
I miss seeing beautiful made speedpaint/sculpt that is calm and informative! Thank you, i enjoyed seeing your process.
thank you. that makes me happy :)

Love the way you did the eyes and eyelids. Can you make a quick short on how you do it?
I'll try to create more short tutorials in the future
Amazing one
Thank you very much 😊
This is not a tutorial =.=
Sorry to hear that you are disappointed. My videos are not meant like a klick by klick tutorial, but when you follow the subtitles you can see and learn my process.
Lovely
Thanks 😊
cool job)
Thank you 😊🙏
stunning work
Thank you :)
do we use perspective for this fictive chara?
Yes absolutely. Sometimes I forget to switch on the perspective and those doodles I make are very forgiving, but 3d characters are always made in perspective.
@@viktor-moor thank you for the infos
@@viktor-moor I have another question for making photorealistic 3D sculptures on Zbrush. Do artists transfer their 2D reference or do they manage to get the right shapes with time? Or does the sculpt and then projects a ref for a without fault?
@@empGaming_Music_Movies For photorealistic characters I always use photos as reference, for such as face, body, cloth, accessories etc. Of course there are no photos of a sci-fi space marine or such. So if you are making sci-fi for example you need a good drawn concept but the realizm comes from your modeling and rendering skills. I would say you always need a strong reference either photos or drawings. Depends on your goals you want to achieve.
@@viktor-moor Okay, so when we start we kind of do some sort of tracing, descaling.. using the front and side ref and with the experience we manage to put the ref on the side and find the right proportion thanks to our skills?
Brilliant, just Brilliant ❤
Thank you 😊
woah
Thanks 😊
fantastico!
Thank you 🙏😊
great job! congratulations
thanx :)
awasome
thank you :)

Amazing job! 👍

Can these drawings save as STL file ?
Hey, yes these can be saved as stl files. You mean for 3d printing, right?
@@viktor-moor Yes Iwas asking for 3d printig. I normally use solidworks for 3d modeling but I can't draw organic shapes :D Like human, animal etc. Is this program begginer friendly?
Great to hear that you are into characters now. Unfortunately ZBrush is not very beginner friendly. But once learned it's awsome to use and feels absolutely natural with a digital pen.
I make a lot of printable characters using ZBrush and need any other program for that. Check out my other videos where I show how I work on my printables.
If you are interested having a training, please check out my Patreon. Maybe this is something for you too.

was there a typing error?
wow just wow...
Thanks 😁
@@viktor-moor how long have you been doing this for?
@@viktor-moor I’m currently sculpting a crocodile and when I see these videos I just hope I can work as fast as you someday. Knowing exactly what I need to do etc.
@@Zunaw don’t worry you will learn it. Take your time and practice the basics.
If you like, visit my patreon if you are interested in me to teach or advise you in 3D arts and sculpting.
@@Zunaw you mean this video?
very good
thank you :)
Honestly my jaw was just dropping constantly throughout this video. Hard to not get demoralised when I watch videos like this as my 3D skills are nowhere near this level!
Keep practicing. one day you will have this moment where you will be more satisfied with your work. I had this moment once and it was one of the best day’s in my artist career.
why not use a base mesh
That's a great question! Using a base mesh for sculpting can definitely save time, especially on a professional level. However, when learning how to sculpt anatomy and exploring creativity, it's important to develop a solid understanding of the fundamentals of anatomy and not rely solely on a pre-made base mesh. I'd recommend practicing with and without a base mesh to develop a well-rounded skillset and approach to sculpting.
I like these types of videos how you break it down I know it has helped me a ton
That makes me happy :)
why zbrush if you have blender? for that model blender is more than enough lolllllllllllll
Why not ZBrush if you have it? Lol.
Sure you can make it in any program you like.
But I am more used to ZBrush sculpting than to Blender sculpting.
@@viktor-moor nowadays it's basically the same
@@viktor-moor why not? easy for the money :) . LOLLLLLLLLL
@@murdocklesban6836 you are right. ZBrush cost some money
Are your patreon videos in real time with audio?
rly great job! just out of curiosity , do u use sculptist pro ? im learning zbrush atm and found out that the mode is allot of fun to play around with
Thank you.
Yes I like to use sculptris pro on the snake hook brush. For how long do you use zbrush already?
