I'm not an artist and don't desire to be, but I love 3D printing miniatures. Blender is fun and I've altered models some for printing. Beyond basic shapes and figures, modeling like this felt inaccessible since I don't want to buy a nice drawing tablet for what little I do. Thank you tremendously! This is just like working in Illustrator for me and gives me control without needing hand dexterity.

Glad to know the tutorials are helping people out. When I started I was in a similar position and knowing this technique really helps when you don't have a tablet.

@elliejohnson2786 Жыл бұрын

This is very much one of those techniques that you can use even if you have a tablet, just because of how versatile it can be for specific details you want, if needed. Awesome video!

@ArtisansofVaul Жыл бұрын

Totally agree. I have a tablet and I use it for consistent smooth lines or when I want to be able to apply a brushstroke to the same spot everal times

Good tips. I always forget about using curves in sculpting. I wish there was a way for the curves to stick and remain on the surface, even after they are used, as more of a non destructive workflow. Funny, I have a tablet but I find my control with a mouse is often better and less awkward...

@ArtisansofVaul 2 жыл бұрын

I totally agree with the curves being ablemto stick their. It would be such a useful function.

@lmbossi2826 Жыл бұрын

have you found a way to keep the curve on the object?

@blackbeard4553 Жыл бұрын

This is very nice brush to accurately draw stitches or zippers on cloth, too bad you can't use existing curves and the curve stroke does not wrap around the object. Nice vid, thanks!

Great call on the stitching/zippers. And I totally agree on both of those frustrating issues

Hello i faced a problem in sculpting if you can help, When i try to sculpt the cursor doesn't show spherical, the cursor is oval too much on Y axis, So i cannot sculpt so good if tje cursor is not spherical So if you can tell me how to change cursor from oval to spherical. And thank you

@ArtisansofVaul Жыл бұрын

That's an odd one. Was the view position directly onto the object or where you at an angle? The sculpting brush will angle to the object faces so if you aren't looking straight on it will look oval even though it's round because the angle the brush is at on the surface.

@MaDmonkey3311 Ай бұрын

I wish the curve stays on the mesh, not be movable, for me its annoying and i dont wanna use curve this way.. I mean reposition it to the same position as before is big of a hassle when u trying to do some precise work

@GrilledChickenRamyun Жыл бұрын

Im a novice, i saw one tutorial told to use shift and right click to smoothen the surface when sculpting (after remesh) At first its okay but lately when im trying to do it my object rather reduce in size anyone could help?

@ArtisansofVaul Жыл бұрын

That tends to happen if you do not have enough points on your mesh as part of the way it works moves them slightly closer to the connected vertices. Try remeshing the object to a higher density mesh and it should solve the issue.

Can this curve tool be applied to hard-surface polygonal models?

@ArtisansofVaul 5 ай бұрын

I'm not sure what tool you'd want to use it for? I mean you can if you subdivide the hard surface model and then use it to sculpt on that.... If that's what you're looking to do?

@@ArtisansofVaul I know there's a Bezier Curve tool that works with sculpts, but a panel cut that includes curved sections would be nice for mesh objects, too.

@ArtisansofVaul 5 ай бұрын

@TheKevphil Ah, I think it see what you mean. I don't think it would be able to work that way as its a brush setting so needs to be I'm sculpt mode. But you could make a curve using the curve pen and then convert it to a mesh and then a plane to use to cut an object.

what about using the brush inverted? like if you press ctrl the brush will be inverted

@ArtisansofVaul 3 ай бұрын

I think you'd need to change it in the settings of the brush to invert it. Would be worth trying though.
