    At 5:40 for those having trouble with chaging the size of the clouds to be more subtle, make sure to go to the modifier tab (the wrench icon) to change the strength. Most likely you're in the texture tab.

    Actually, on our anvil, there are many bashes on the underside by that big curve because of the use of that area to start a curve in Flatiron. In fact, the blacksmith says there is no part on an anvil that is not meant for some function or other. It is why it is shaped the way it is through time.

    Not sure if I'm a one-off on this, but just in case it helps someone using 3.2 or later:
    The flatten brush wasn't having the same effect for me as in the video. The Scrape brush, located two spots below it, basically has the same effect (at least to my eyes). So if flatten isn't working for you, give the scrape brush a go.

  • @TheKelmister
    @TheKelmister 6 років тому +182

    One thing to note for sculpting when you're starting is to NOT use the relative detail (more zooming, more detail), but rather use the constant detail option. When I started I accidentally got over 4M tris because I was zooming quite close all the time. That's gonna start lagging the viewport. What constant detail does is it has a percentage parameter which decides how much detail is added, regardless of zoom-level.
    It's also easier if you are modeling high-poly, since you can do block-out with relatively low detail, and then raise the percentage to add more detail.
    Of course you don't have to use constant detail as a beginner, just something to consider if you notice lagging during sculpting or very high amount of triangles.

He is using a high-end computer and likely has no issue with it. I plan to upgrade video card and cpu but it will still will be lacking compared to his system.

    PROBLEM WITH (self)SOLUTION!
    2.83 or above: how can i set the displacement as it was at the "texture>texture mode"? (5:25)
    DO NOT SEARCH THESE OPTIONS AT MATERIAL TAB!
    Edit: I finally found out! When you add the displace modifier, click the "New" button to add the displacement texture and you will see 4 buttons next to it's name ("Texture" by def) and the most right one wich likes 2 swicthers referring to some kind of settings, then if you click it, you can set the type to clouds, but the strength is changeable only at the modifier's menu. (another notice is that the switcher button forwards to the TEXTURE tab, within PROPERTIES window.) TEXTURE tab and MATERIAL tab ARENT THE SAME!

    Tip for who is using Blender 2.91/92. It works better if you use crease or scrape tool and play with brush settings until you find two or three that give you the effects you want: large hammerings, dents and chips. While concerning the brush texturing I still haven't found a workable solution apart from creating my own brush... which is added work...
    EDIT: I found out how to texture the brush in blender 2.91/92: choose the brush you use, then click on the last tab in the right panel (the one that looks like a chessboard: Texture options) there you can setup all the textures that you want, even using the cloud type as Andrew did. In the meantime I also found out that I can just use the normal draw brush and zoom in very closely to the model to sculpt the tiny details... it works, though it's quite long work.

    @blenderguru, first, congrats on your daughter on the way. I have one of each and they are each a central joy in my life.
    Second I wanted to take a crack at explaining the horn ribbing you demonstrated with dyntopo both accurately, and hopefully in an artist-friendly way:
    So the first thing is better understanding the difference between how smooth shading and Catmull-Clark subdivision surface works: Catmull-Clark adds geometry, building an interpolated, curved surface based on your original mesh as a "control cage". Smooth shading, on the other hand, leaves the mesh alone, and interpolates the surface normals only. This is fine while the mesh is unaltered, but if you add mesh detail to a smooth shaded area, it works similar a subdivision surface modifier in SIMPLE mode. It adds geometry without any curvature. (With DynTopo, this appears to be with triangles instead of quads.) This extra geometry acts like proximity loops, sharpening the faceted geometry already there, giving you the ribbing you are seeing.
    As far as how to prevent this, you can use the "MultiResolution modifier" in Catmull-Clark mode instead of DynTopo, but it's a bit more manual. (You could also suggest/beg for developers to include Catmull-Clark to dyntopo in the next release, and hope someone obliges, unless you want to code it yourself.) you could also apply the subdivision surface modifier with a higher iteration count, but that gives you a higher polycount everywhere. If you are particularly ambitious, you can isolate the horn in it's own object. Apply the subdividing surface with more iterations to that object alone, then join and sew the two pieces back together.
    I hope that helps.
    -Loren

    So that issue with Dyntopo and the curved edge is because the actual shape isn't very smooth, but appears so because of smooth shading. When Dyntopo creates new topography, it follows the original shape, and assumes those areas as separate flat planes. This means the new vertex normals for the vertices aren't smoothed around, (they point straight away from the flat plane) which leads to the blocky look. It's essentially doing what you did at the start of the video to sharpen the edges of the anvil, since it doesn't quite know what you want curved.

    • @MasterTeeee

      I think a way to get around this (at least it works in zBrush), would be to increase the number of subdivisions on the mesh a lot (so there are hundreds of thousands if not millions of vertices on your model), and then do the sculpting on the cylindrical shape. The massively high-poly count model doesn't matter, as it's only being used to bake your high-detail maps.
      I'm not an expert in Blender Sculpting, but I'm pretty sure early on in the video (04:04 - for example), you can see it says, "Subdivisions:", with "View:" and "Render:" integer values. Increase that a lot (too much and your computer will crawl), and you should be able to avoid the ribbing.
      In zBrush it's super common to constantly be subdividing, superdividing, subdividing, superdividing, over and over again.

      I was actually looking for a comment like this, since I realised that that was pretty much the issue - too much vertices in on the edges, that's why, even with smooth shading applied, it defines those edges.

    I can explain kind of why the horn has ridges, although I'm hella late. It's because the mesh isn't *too* detailed, meaning that those ridges have always been there. Blender, when set to "shade smooth" will smooth the normals out so that the lighting is nice and smooth, making the shape look genuinely round, and that works fine.
    The ridges come into play when it tried to retopoligize the mesh because it's basically subdividing it; rather than a smooth subdivide like the subdivision surface modifier gives. It's basically doing what you did in the modeling videos where you would create an edge loop around an edge that should be sharp; it's preventing blender from interpolating the normals.
    In other words, when it tries to smoothly shade the mesh, it will do a blend across the face of the normals from one edge to the other - that way the lighting engine believes it's a completely smooth shape. The high detail created by the sculpting brush doesn't blend smoothly because it doesn't know to; so it just creates a *ton* of flat faces. That means that while the normals are still smoothed, instead of smoothing from 0% to 100% (meaning top to bottom of the face), it's smoothing from 0% to 2% and then 98% to 100%.
    Hopefully that made some semblance of sense.

    Hi everyone!
    So I'm running Blender 2.82a and I'm having trouble with using that awesome cloud texture brush.
    Once setting up the cloud texture I noticed that if I tested it out on the mesh, undoing that text brush stroke would also undo the whole brush set up. To get around that I made an "invisible" low strength stroke anywhere on the mesh, then tried it with full strength. Then I was able to undo those "actual" strokes without having to reapply the brush texture settings.
    If you are wondering why you aren't getting any detail at all from the cloud texture brush, double check that if dyntopo is on, and the detail size is low! That puzzled me for a while. I think it's the same glitch as above, not just erasing the brush setting but also the dyntopo settings back to 12px.
    Now this may have been because I had used flatten instead of sculpt like others had to overcome an issue, but when I use the cloud brush it over flattens the areas that I had flattened already. The Google hasn't turned up a solution but perhaps us youtubers can help me!!!
    And thanks Andrew! I finally finished the 2.8 Donut master class and it was amazing!! Thanks for putting up great content.

    For some reason, I can't sculpt the edges of the anvil. The rest of the mesh moves, but I can't flatten the edges. I don't understand :(
    Edit: Apparently I had to right-click while the brush was enabled and change the plane offset setting to a negative number.

    First of all great tutorial as always, really enjoy your style of teaching. Dont know if anyone will read this 2 years later or if your opinion on the gifting subject matter changed, but I do agree with your statement of not spending money on gifts for others. What my family started doing as we grew older and everyone kind of had their own money, was to gift our time more or less.
    As in, let's go on a trip here are some options and the budget or let's go for some fancier family activities. Results in quality family time and well spent money for not only the gifted one, but also yourself.

    For the latest blender version, if you have dyntopo issues
    Do the following: -select the anvil and right click on it, then select ''shade smooth''
    -go to subdivision mod and change both the render and viewport values to 2
    Then start doing the rest, applying the division mod and so on
    When you get to sculpting the dyntopo should work the same way it does in the video

    Its not about the money its about the fact you thought of them enough to get them something, the better you know the person the more likely you will get them something they like. Big business has made it easier to find something, but it is not to blame for people buying from them. mm not sure why I went out of my way to post this "its the thought that counts" to be honest I think the reasoning may even go all the way to the core of what makes us human, and far more than i care to type.

    Skimming through the vid, I wish i had this tutorial series 2 years ago when I was starting out. There's two stages to learning to be a 3d artist, 1. learning to operate the software, 2. slowly developing your skill level with time and practice. If i had this series back then I could of graduated to the second stage so much quicker instead of wasting all that time learning from bad fragmented vids here and there on UA-cam as well as having to figure a lot of it out for my self. I hate to think about how much of that wasted time over the last 2 years could of gone into the second stage and how much more advanced I'd be right now as a result.

      CruiserZone ah I see. I always find knowing the correct terminology so useful. For years I didn't know how to find seamless textures it was always a chance. But now I know the term "seamless" is used for that case, and it makes things SO MUCH easier.
