This is going to save me about 40.000 hours of rigging and tearing my hair out 🤩

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!

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

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

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!

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! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

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.

This method blew my mind!

Well, this is incredible. Rigging terrifies me. This is something I certainly want to practice.

cudos sir, this is ridiculously close to what I needed right now for around 40k or so reasons.

Wow I never looked at the pose brush! This is dramatically easier than rigging and weight painting!

Bloody hell. Instant subscription!

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!

You have changed everything!

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.

Awesome video. Re-posing is something I've wondered about, but figured rigging was necessary. This is so helpful.

BEST blender video ever. SUPER useful!!!

That’s so incredibly useful! Would love to see more on kit bashing and combining parts

That was one of the clearest video lessons on posing in Blender I've seen. Thank you so much!

You make it sound easy. I'll give Blender a shot (again).

By the gods, this is amazing. Thank you for the tutorial.

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.

Holy shit! MY KING! This is god like

This is goddamn brilliant.

Absolute gamechanger. Liked, subscribed, favorited.

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!

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.

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!

Your direction on this is exquisite! Thank you so much for taking the time to do so!

You are the gift that keeps on giving!

Amazing stuff. Thanks for taking the time to make this.

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

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.

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.

OH - MY - GOOOOOOD!!! This is astonishing!! My brain just got blown up!! THANK YOU!

Amazing video. Perfect combination of helpful information that is explained well in a concise manner.

I hope you will see this after a couple months. I found this video and wanted to give it a try. I have some of OnePageRules 3D print models and they do have the unfortunate issue of limited poses. Even though they offer split parts, the parts are designed to only go together one way. Note I am 100% brand new to Blender and have no experience with it elsewise, so the problem I describe below may be easy for someone used to Blender, but not to me, and I apologize for that. I took one model's "combined" file (the model fully assembled in one STL) and threw it into Blender and noticed that when I go to Sculpt mode, and "Face Sets->Initialize Face Sets->by UV Seam" (notably without making any further changes after importing the STL file), Blender recognizes the separate pieces as if I had input the model piece by piece. Most notably, the arm, as I was trying to do exactly what you did in this video. This was true for multiple files across multiple army sets. In object mode, Blender sees the whole model as a single object, and I can manipulate it as such (move, rotate, etc). When I go to sculpt mode, UV Seam, and select the pose brush, I'm now not able to select "Rotation origin" by Face Sets, then rotate at the shoulders. As Blender sees it as a separate part, the rotation point is seen as the center of the "arm object", or around the elbow, and therefore when rotated, it separates the shoulder from the body. Amusingly, despite the two parts being entirely separate, when I switch back to object mode, Blender still sees it as one single object. I am able to create a seam, just as you did, around the elbow, and that works fine, though limits my poseability. Is there a way to combine the object so, before creating my own UV seams, it sees the object as one single, contiguous piece so that I can then create the seam at the shoulder? I have tried importing the file into Lychee and re-exporting, I have tried importing the individual parts into Microsoft 3D Builder and exporting as a single piece. None make any difference and Blender continues to identify the separate pieces. If you have a separate video on this, a link to that would be ideal. Thank you.

Cool model and great tutorial! Will be sure to give this a try!

An excellent description of a complex process.

Very good tutorial mate. Cheers!

i can't wait to try this! Straight to the point with elaborate explanations! Love it!

OK- this is awesome. Now, when can I pay for your classes!! But really- thank you so much for such a clear and concise tutorial!

Buddy your videos is amazing! This is just what i was looking for! Thank you for creating this great content!

Man, it helps me a lot, thank you!!!

You just blew my mind, gonna try this right away!

That was excellent 😀 makes me want to try blender again!

I dont plan on using this for reposing STLs. BUT I TOTALLY WILL USE THIS FOR POSING SCULPTURES I MAKE IN THE FUTURE. XD

This is a great tutorial. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Extremely cool, thanks!

Probably one of the most useful tutorials I've ever seen . Thank you so much!!!

thanks a lot for the video, I didn't knew how to do it until now

Most helpful video I’ve ever seen on blender. Great job and certainly gives me the confidence to have a try myself!

Brilliant, thanks!

Game changer. Thanks for sharing this!!!

This is absolutely amazing as a tutorial. Thank you so much

Wow. That´s great. That makes miniature printing much more fascinating. THX

It works! 💪🏻 Thank you

Wow!! Thanks so much!!

You're the man bud, this was incredibly helpful.

Awesome. Thanks for this. I took a 3d class about a year ago or more but couldnt really figure out proper rigging (at least for more complex pieces) without tons of issues. Definitely gonna give this a try with some free statue figures ive got saved on my computer

This video is fantastic. So much easier than what I was trying to do. Thank you for this.

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

WOW this is such a game changer for me thanks.

Omg is this NEW ???? saved and going to test this tonight wow !!

Instant sub! You lifesaver! THANK YOU!

Awesome. Thanks for doing the vid.

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

You sir, just made my day! This is great, and will help me so much in the future!

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.

Really brilliant tutorial. You covered all necessary information without wasting time and it's really well delivered. Keep it up! You now have a new subscriber 🎉

Thanks for this

just what i need..... thanks, great tutorial well and easy explain... this is gold.

What a fantastic tutorial. Very informative, great explanations of keystrokes/menus, but still relatively concise. Definitely subscribing to your channel mate.

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!

Thank you bro, saved me this morning
