This is going to save me about 40.000 hours of rigging and tearing my hair out 🤩
And thats the magic number to save 😁😁😁
I see what you did there.
Gordon Bennett. That's the most well laid-out and thoroughly explained method of reposing solid STLs I've ever seen. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks so much 😁 That's very kind of you to say.
As somebody who has worked in 3D modeling for years, the fact that you waited until the end to go over the lasso tool and seam smoothing got my blood pressure REAL high. Great tutorial tho. Digital kitbashing should really be more widespread in the broader 3D community.
😂 I went over them last as they seem to be something that is easier to get wrong during selection (as you can hit other elements of the mesh) so I wanted to go through the method that is less likely to cause issues first.
well, bloody hell, that tut was probably the best I've seen; I'am about 6 months of fiddling with Blender (nothing serious) and mainly use it to hack off bits from 1 stl so I can print a different arm and physicaly glue it on for a different pose...Man, you just opened Pandora's stl box!
Brilliant
That's very king of you to say. Glad to know it's going to give some more options 😁👍🏻
@@ArtisansofVaul I've been looking for this for years. This is amazing.
@@jtjames79 😁 Happy to help.
Holy crap- this is the single best tutorial I've EVER seen for Blender. What a game changer. This should be a pinned link on ANY 3-D modeling forum.
Thanks so much! I mean if it was a pinned link I'd never complain 😉
I've been making miniatures in blender for 4 years, and I didn't know you can use the pose brush with face sets for better results, and the kinematic trick is awesome! thank you very much
No problem. I really think this method doesn't get covered enough. I can see why as it isn't as useful for animation but for miniatures is so much more accessible and the workflow is much either.
same boat here. had no idea that the face sets feature was there. and my jaw dropped when he showed there was IK too. I always hated the pose brush because it never did what i wanted hahahaha
@CinderBlock331 It's function/reliance on faceseys doesnt feel very clearly labelled/indicated that's for sure! Glad this got you sorted 😁
How did you learn to make minis in Blender?
Amazing! I can't believe this is a thing you can just do in Blender with a brush!
Really clear and concise video. Straight to the point. Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks so much Mouse. Glad it's easy to follow.
Bruh. This is so much better than rigging. I spent so much time rigging this rat I had sculpted so I can have different poses now I can just do this. You're the man!
Thanks Legion! There are some positives to rigging but I would say a lot of the time I use this or the Machin3 Tools trick depending on the project.
I had no idea this could be done! This will definitely help add variety when you want to make large armies/warbands without identical poses! Thanks so much! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
No problem. It's a bit of a hidden function and I haven't seen it discussed much so thought it was worth a tutorial.
i can't wait to try this! Straight to the point with elaborate explanations! Love it!
😁 Hope it goes well 😁
I love sculpting and making rendered scenes of characters or creatures, this is so helpful and exactly what I need, thank you. Retopology and rigging is so time consuming and useless for just making still images as this is so much quicker
😁 That's a great use for something like this and I totally agree, way faster than rigging for something like that.
This is just about the clearest and easy to follow Blender tutorial i've ever watched! Definitely have a new subscriber!
Thanks so much. Really happy it's easy to follow as that can always be tricky with a tutorial.
@@ArtisansofVaul worked great on the first figure, now i cant get it to work on a second figure. Everything up to the initializing the UV seam worked, but the pose tool just wont move anything!
FUUUUUUUK. Why didn’t you release this months ago? Omg all the time spent rigging.
Oh well I learned a lot about rigging and weights.
Thanks for the video and saving me more time and teaching all of us something new on blender.
Thanks so much. Learning how to rig is a good use of time, if you have a model in a T or A pose its often the better method, especially using rigify (that's the next video).
for real lol. I've spent so much time rigging.
@@ArtisansofVaul yup i can rig a lot of stuff now but i still have more to learn. yeah T and A pose are so easy to rig and add weights or using rigify makes it even easier. i look forward to your upcoming video so i can learn more and get better at it. while also being annoyed that id didnt know an easier way to do things
Learning rigging isn't a complete waste...
Well, this is incredible. Rigging terrifies me. This is something I certainly want to practice.
👍🏻 Rigging can be really time consuming and I think with this as an option it can be quite unneeded
What a fantastic tutorial. Very informative, great explanations of keystrokes/menus, but still relatively concise. Definitely subscribing to your channel mate.
Thanks so much. Pace is always tricky to get right so it's awesome to know when people are happy with it 😁👍🏻
By the gods, this is amazing. Thank you for the tutorial.
Cheers man 😁
Thousand thanks for taking the time and effort of making these videos and sharing Your knowledge...
This is "wild", Blender is such a literal "Swiss Army Knife" of tools and techniques that it's impossible to know even a small fraction of all You can do with it. And this "technique" is imho far from only for people "working" with STLs but rather something every "3D generalist" should have "in their virtual tool belt".
Best regards.
Totally agree with everything you've said 👍🏻😁 I think Blender is such an amazing toolset, just a bit intimidating because of how much it can do
If anyone is like me, and can't find the options and menu items being used... check your version of Blender. Almost everything looked and acted the same, but there was not 'face sets' option when I was in the sculpting tool. Upgraded to most recent version, and it's there. I guess this is a fairly recent feature.
Good tip 👌🏼 Thanks so much!
That was one of the clearest video lessons on posing in Blender I've seen. Thank you so much!
My pleasure. Thanks so much for watching and especially taking the time to comment 😁
That’s so incredibly useful! Would love to see more on kit bashing and combining parts
That could be fun. The issue if finding STL that I can use without it causing any issues/ getting creators permission.
It works! 💪🏻 Thank you
😁 Awesome.
YES!!!!!! This is exactly what Ive been looking for! I can't wait to try it! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this!
My pleasure and thanks for taking the time to comment. Its really appreciated.
@@ArtisansofVaul No problem! I tried it last night and it worked great! You have definitely gained me as a subscriber! Thanks again, and please keep up the great work!
Holy shit!
MY KING!
This is god like
😅 Thanks so much
This method blew my mind!
😁 Glad to be able to show something new for people.
Great video, I do a lot of printing and often think I’d like to change a few poses here and there, but I find blender almost a different language, this is the best video I’ve seen to help people use it better
Blender is pretty complex because there is just SO much to it. I think this is a great tool to dip your toe in as you can either start with this and try some other things in Blender too or just do this and export the created pose to another program you're more comfortable with.
You make it sound easy. I'll give Blender a shot (again).
Don't get me wrong, Blender can be quite a lot (especially when starting out) but I do think (even if it's just used for this tool) it's worth having.
Amazing video. Perfect combination of helpful information that is explained well in a concise manner.
Thanks so much! Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. And a HUGE thanks for the Super Thanks 👌🏼
Bloody hell. Instant subscription!
Thanks Gavin 😁👍🏻
Duuuuude! This is an AWESOME video! I had no idea you could do that so easily in blender! This will change my 3d-printing forever! Thank you SO MUCH!
😁😁😁 That's amazing to hear. Thanks.
Probably one of the most useful tutorials I've ever seen . Thank you so much!!!
Thanks so much 😁 That's very nice of you to say.
This is great thanks. I was just mirroring models when I had 2 the same (I mostly do Blood Bowl Teams), but this is an absolute game changer.
😁 Thanks so much. Totally agree and with the mirroring trick it's so easy to make loads of poses.
I remember trying somthing like this a few years ago.
I completely butchered it.
Great video.
Hopefully this will give you some more success 👍🏻
Wow - so easy when you know which of Blender's tools to use. Thank you for explaining this so clearly - I'm definitely going to give it a go.
Awesome 😁Yeah, Blender is great, its just a matter of knowing what will complete the task you need - Which is often the hard part 😅
Thanks, this is one of the best how to videos out there, even I have finally figured out how to use it to change the pose of the figures I use in my model cars. Thank you very much :)
😁 Thanks so much and glad I could help
Holy crap dude, you're the very first tutorial I've watched for Blender that actually has clicked. Thank you so much! I'm subscribed now, and will share your videos as much as possible!
Thanks so much for the sub. And glad you enjoyed the video 😁
Amazing stuff. Thanks for taking the time to make this.
My pleasure 😁😁😁
Cool model and great tutorial! Will be sure to give this a try!
Thanks so much Modge!
Wow. Im just getting into WH and am gonna start looking into kitbashing and this is the best thing ive seen for making some of those crazy model's for cusotms... Thank you. Clear and Concise. This is how all tutorials should go
Cheers Authmion. Kitbashing is a great way to get into things like 3D printing and Blender, it gives so much more options and customisability 😁
thanks a lot for the video, I didn't knew how to do it until now
😁👍🏻
An excellent description of a complex process.
Cheers Darren 👍🏻😁
Very good tutorial mate. Cheers!
Thanks bulldog 👍🏻
This is absolutely amazing as a tutorial. Thank you so much
Thanks Talosh 😁👍🏻
Excellent tutorial. Well done.
Thanks 😁 And thanks for taking the time to comment. Really appreciated!
I'm used to use blender to edit stuff and I didn't knew about this workflow
Hopefully it will help out 😁
You just blew my mind, gonna try this right away!
😁👍🏻 Hope it goes well!
This is amazing. Thanks for showing us this.
My pleasure Owen. 😁
Excellent tutorial, thank you!

This is a great tutorial. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Thanks so much Yolo! 😁👍
Thanks so much for this, I needed it
😁
Awesome trick, awesome artisan.
👍🏻 Thanks 😁
Oh my god, this is so helpful! I have been trying to brute force the pose brush for so long to get it to do this. Thank you so much for this video.
My pleasure. Glad it's going to help out. 👍🏻
This could save the Sunder mini I've been working on. the legs would rig up fine, but the arms would cause the torso weapons to move with them.
That's a frustrating issue. I'm wondering if the bones for the rigging are the wrong way around. Either way I find this much less likely to cause issues
Instant sub! You lifesaver! THANK YOU!
Thanks Wolff. Really appreciated!
Absolute gamechanger. Liked, subscribed, favorited.
Thanks so much. And thanks for taking the time to comment 🙂
This video is fantastic. So much easier than what I was trying to do. Thank you for this.
My pleasure and glad I could help.
Buddy your videos is amazing! This is just what i was looking for! Thank you for creating this great content!
Thanks so much 😁 Its always great to know its going to help out.

Give it a go! I know it seems a lot but once you get into it it's fantastic.
Great tutorial, Thxs, this will help immensely!
😁 Cheers
WOW this is such a game changer for me thanks.
😁 I thought the same when I found it. It's a great tool.
This was amazingly useful. I have struggled so hard on other projects and this was always an option!
Glad it's going to help you out 😁
AWESOME! Thanks so much for this. Very helpful, indeed!
😁👍🏻 My pleasure and thanks so much for taking the time to comment. Really appreciated
Wow. That´s great. That makes miniature printing much more fascinating. THX

Thank you soo much for this vid, need to try it out. This opens a ton of possibilities.
10/10 would watch again 😜
Haha. Cheers man. You're right it really does, hope you enjoy what you can make with it!
Another amazing, useful tutorial!
Cheers man 😁👍🏻
That's pretty cool, I've been reposing models in Blender for a while, but not using this method. One thing that I've found reasonably easy is to rig the model with bones, but only rig the parts you want to move (so if you only want to move a shoulder and elbow, you only need to add maybe 3 bones) and use the automatic weights. But on some models that doesn't work well, depends whether the automatic weights can figure out what you're trying to do.
Yeah, the automatic weights work best with quads from what I have tried and Blender will normally have a good go but it wont always be perfect. Thats why I find this method pretty handy.
Wicked tutorial, I have never really done anything in your videos I just like watching them, but this will definitely come in useful and is something I have wondered about, great work, thanks
Glad I've given something to try out. Thanks so much for watching the videos 😁
This is exactly what I needed! I've recently just learned about separating loose parts for kitbashing. Adding this to my arsenal will make my kitbashes better yet. Thanks so much!
😁 Awesome. Always great to hear I've helped someone out 👍🏻
OH - MY - GOOOOOOD!!!
This is astonishing!! My brain just got blown up!! THANK YOU!
😁😁 Cheers. Glad it's going to get some use 😁
@@ArtisansofVaul for sure! This will solve tons of problems with rigging!
I've been following you for a while and love your videos and tips!
@famisreiter4141 Thanks man. Lovely of you to say 😁👌🏼
Hoły moly, this is one of the best made and useful tuts I’ve seen in long time.
What a compliment. Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it.
Buenísima lección, gracias.
😁👍🏻
This is such a great video! I've been using blender for ages and never knew about this, I've been posing my minis with rigging all this time. This is gonna be a life saver
👍🏻 Nothing wrong with rigging at all but I generally think it's more for animation where as for sculpts this works well and (for me) seems faster.
Fantastic tutorial!
One thing that always bothers me with 3d prints is having a bunch of repeat poses, so this is super great.
Totally the same. As you say this really helps solve that issue
Perfect timing!
Just got some Tyranid Models, which I thought could use some variety in their poses! :D
Great use for it! 👌🏼
WOW, I use the pose tool often in my own work but i have never thought about reposing other minis.. this is a game changer. You opened up so many possibilities!! thank you as always!!
Cheers Emma 😁😁😁
This is amazing I will be able to repose a lot of STLs
Thanks 😁👍🏻 Great it will help
Omg is this NEW ???? saved and going to test this tonight wow !!
Not new but I think its really lacking videos on it and showing its use
awesome!
Nice to see you getting into minis, it's my hobby besides making video games as a job. Now I get tips for my work and my hobby
Haha. Always been into the mini side (that's what I use Blender for) but this seemed good as something more miniature/3D printing specific.
That was amazing. It was a video which made me to try Blender at last. I'm done with Meshmixer ;)
😁 So glad to gave inspired you to give Blender a try, even if its just for this technique bur hopefully you'll stay for more. Always feel free to come back and ask if you're unsure about anything. I know Blender can be intimidating as it has just so much you can do.
Wow! One of the best Blender tutorials covering a feature I've seen! I've been working with blender for about 5 years now and even though i rarely need to sculpt, the pose brush has always been a mystery to me. This video changed that, so thanks a lot!
Great to hear I can help out someone with experience. Really appreciate the compliment 😁
This was so awesome to see. I havent done any 3d modelling since I dabbled as a teenager and have been on the threshold of taking up 3d printing. Seeing how doable this is with existing files was so cool. Thank you!
Thanks. Honestly this is a great time to get into 3D printing. There's so many files out there and the printers are so much more reasonably priced
