lesson 2 stop making stupid fucking thread

10 years +++ give up

Anonymous at Tue, 31 Aug 2021 12:24:48 UTC No. 847711

it's called sculpting. if you aren't naturally gifted at drawing, you won't be good at this, either. you'll need a graphics tablet (doesn't have to be expensive), and a software called zbrush. going to need access to a private tracker (cgpeers, gfxpeers, cgpersia) to torrent that safely.

watch someone with the skillset you want on youtube sculpt in real time and try to replicate it. repetition is key, most people fail because they are unwilling to repeat very basic shapes until they can get them to look solid spontaneously and repeatedly. chances of you actually reaching the level you posted are ridiculously low, probably around 1-5% - keep that in mind before spending too much on a tablet that you'll probably only be using for an hour before it collects dust.

i have tried my hands at sculpting in Blender, wasn't too bad imo. Thanks anon, always thought you guys just make up individual shapes and fit them together like Lego or something

Sorry, you cant make that in your first 100 models plus you can't make that in blender, sorry give up. Also I have complete access to that workshop in CGpeers. Too bad, I'm not sharing it so give up.

I'll give you the most important tip. The image you posted was made using ZBrush, not Blender.
Of course, you can still eat spaghettis using your hands, but the proper way is using a fork.

So, start learning the software. Then think about if you still want to do it.

that anon is correct, though. the major obstacle to getting good results is the willingness to push through the "everything i do looks like garbage"-phase and endlessly repeat basic shapes until your hand-/eye-coordination has been trained sufficiently. this can be done in shit software (blender) or state-of-the-art software (zbrush), so it would be pretty fucking dumb to try and build a skill in a shit environment that is bound to hold you back in the long run.
if OP doesn't make it, the experience in either blender or zbrush will be pretty much identical. if he does make it, he will want to switch to zbrush, anyway.
"but it's free, though". so is AIDS.

tl;dr : fuck blender

Depends how many hours per week you dedicate to actually making models, and how much artistic ability you already have.

I taught blender to a 2D artist who'd never touched 3D in her life last year, and I her making better sculpts than me in under a month, so prior art experience is a big help.

>if you aren't naturally gifted at drawing.
Having a "gift" for drawing is just about how fast you learn and expand your visual library, even if you're shit at drawing the most basic stuff if you spend time practicing and studying you'll eventually be as good as a talented artist, drawing is the same as any other craft.
I know it's a generic thing to say but it's the truth, don't give up, keep learning with trial and error and you'll get there.

It's taken me just under a year to get from 0 to being able to sculpt this, and that's just a head with shitty hair. So yea probably like 10 years. But I started organic sculpting about a month ago so it all depends on what you're looking to focus on. Having prior knowledge of anatomy and 2d drawing skills really helps. Getting to know blender/Maya/etc is just like learning any skill, daily practice is important.

Depends on your previous skills, how much you know how to use each tool and how much practice you put in. I don't think you'll have to spend 10 years as people says, specially if you're resourceful and know how to use the technology to your advantage.

Blender is a bit behind ZBrush in sculpting so getting to that result can be a bit slower unless they add better tools in future updates. You'll need to have some basic "drawing" abbilities (you don't need to be able draw in 2D well at all, but you'll need to learn anatomy, proportions and perspective), learning how to make base meshes and to use different softwares in unison to get the final result can help immensely too. I've been a full-time 3D art student for 4 years and although I'm not still at that level I can get good results already (specially since I've had a whole lot of classes that have nothing to do with 3D).

You can do it anon, just try to get good courses, tutorials or teachers and remember to always get feedback.

Maya is the shortest route if you know how to take advantage of curves, surfaces, Nurbs, etc. Only then you touch polygons.
