Hey friends! I started using Blender on 2.79 but started sculpting with 2.8 so let me help you out a little. Most of the brush settings that appear in this tutorial are now on the Sidebar menu which is half visible when you open Blender 2.8+, press N to show/hide and it will appear on the right side of the 3D Viewport. 5:12 ctrl+n , choose sculpting in new menu for perfect ready for sculpting sphere (although these instructions are still valid if you want to start with a different shape other than a sphere) 5:38 Shading is no longer in the Sidebar menu, it's in the right top corner of the 3d Viewport window, right above the Sidebar, it's a menu with 4 sphere icons, (hover over the icons to see the names!), click the "Solid" option and next the down arrow to see lightning options, click on the pic of the white sphere and you will see the option to turn it into red clay material. 6:46 the Brush tools now appear on its own menu on the left side, you can expand the section to see the full names and easily follow the tut , also hover over them to see the new shortcuts! WARNING For some reasons some of shortcuts don't work on windows 10, but easy piecy, right click to assign new shortcut, for example clay strips is set to 2 by default but wouldn't work so i just set 2 on new shortcut and voila... weird, wrote it just in case. 8:03 The brush settings are now on the Sidebar (N menu) under the Tools tab. 9:40 All of the mask options are now on the top left corner of the 3d Viewport, you can check the shortcuts there if they change, so far they are the same from this video. 10:15 the Hide Bounding Box is on the Sculpt menu, top left side of the 3d Viewport, to the left of the Mask menu. The rest of Hiding features mentioned in this part are also here. Alt +h to unhide is specially useful since it's not on the menu but still works on Blender 2.8+. 10:47 Brush options: Sidebar menu, >Tool > Brush Settings 11:30 Falloff options: Sidebar Menu, Tool tab, Falloff section, below the Stroke section. The Flat Curve is really called Constant, you can't blame Yan as you can see that in previous Blender versions the name wasn't visible. 11:53 All of the Dyntopo options are on the Sidebar menu > Tool tab 13:40 Remember if you use Constant detail instead of relative, the lower the number is, the lower quality you get, whereas if you use Relative Detail it's exactly like Yan says, the lower the number, the higher the detail, this is important as you can accidentally switch and get crazy trying to find what happened. 13:50 Symmetry settings are on the Sidebar>Tool tab, you must have that section open if you've made it this far. 24:27 Boolean Tool(Part 9): Notice that Yan goes to Object mode to duplicate, in Blender 2.8+ you can ctrl+tab to invoke pie menu and select object mode, there you can keep shift+d to duplicate. The Properties windows is on the same place as in the video, but the tabs are on the left side, from there look for the Modifiers tab (it has wrench icon), notice Yan calls it Settings. Everything is the same until... 25:05 Wireframe View: If you press the Z button you will invoke a pie menu, choose Wireframe, go back to Sculpt mode with ctrl+tab. Hope it helps!

Little tip for switching brushes. Blob: 1 Clay: 2 or C Clay Strips: 3 Crease: 4 or Shift+C Fill: 5 Flatten: 6 or Shift+T Grab: 7 or G Inflate: 8 or I Layer: 9 or L Mask: 0 or M Nudge: Shift+1 Pinch: Shift+2 or P Rotate: Shift+3 Scrape: Shift+4 SculptDraw: Shift+5 or X Smooth: Shift+6 or S Snake Hook: Shift+7 or K Thumb: Shift+8

Hey Yan! I recently did a final for a intro blender class in university. I followed a bunch of your previous tutorials, sculpted, Uvmapped and textured a character head and the teacher was very impressed with it! Thanks for helping me get through my class and impressing the professor with new content he wasn't able to teach us!

When you started to tell us that you were going to sculpt an ear, I decided that I would take matters into my own hands. Doing that benefited me greatly, because I was able to find out which brushes were most useful for each part of the ear. However, I wouldn’t have been a able to do that without your help. So, thank you. This is the most progress I’ve made in Blender ❤️.

This is one of the best Blender sculpting tutorials I've found. I've been wanting to make 3d art lately and I wanted to get a firm understanding of the controls and brushes before starting.

me, using this tutorial with 2.8: *CONFUSED SCREAMING*

Happy early Christmas! I am so excited to publish this course, i know a lot of you have asked for it. As explained in the video, if you are interested in the full course, you can get it at full price to support the channel, that said i was a student once as well so I can relate! Here is a 50% off code for who needs it: yansculpts_sibfb_special_limited . Enjoy the video, and give me your thoughts on the tutorial ;).

The course will get a free update (which can be downloaded for anyone who got it as a thanks for the support) on the 22nd of Feb 2018. A new sculpt with it's full sculpting process, a time-lapse of that sculpt with commentary and it's blend files!

Latest Course Updates: V1.3 : Added a 20 minute video on how to sculpt with remesh with Blender 2.9. V1.2 : I just updated the course with a new package update for Blender 2.8. It contains a look at Blender 2.8, setting up a sculpting work space in Blender 2.8 and finally sculpting a demon head real time with audio in Blender 2.8! You can find the course in the description of this video.

This is probably the best and most understandable tutorial and introduction to blender I've found. The guy actually talks through the tools and ways to do things without making them sound extremely complicated

I can't believe blender looked like this a few years ago.

In case you didn't know, some of your viewers say things like "God, I love you dude" under their breath while watching these. Others might even slip into a trance and notice that by the end of the tutorial their legs are crossed and their fingers are in Zen pose. But thats in the most extreme cases. So very helpful!

I'm coming here in Blender 3.2 and with some quick searches was able to find the changed/updated options and still follow along through the whole thing, this was so helpful! I've only used Blender for other things and needed to learn sculpting, so thank you! Now onto the more current tutorials

i just started going through your sculping lessions and i am thanking you alot for the time you have invested to go to the most important sculp brushes and when best to use them! I hope you continue your good work !

I've decided on my base shape. Just like you use spheres as a base, I'll begin with monkey heads.

I just bought the full course. Thank you Yan! Awesome work...Looking forward to watching it

OML THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I've been looking for so many videos trying to figure put how to sculpt and I can say that before I watched this i didnt even know how to delete the cube and now I feel comfortable enough to actually make a character. You are an amazing teacher! 🙏🙏

SO glad I found your channel!! Most in-depth Blender explanation I have found..... Time to get back in and learn Blender!!

Thank you! I don't know how many skulpting tutorials I've watched and this is the first time I've gotten anywhere! :)

I'm already a newbie at Blender...and yet...I'm interested in it so much! I hope I'll be able to learn more until I'll get used to it! ^0^

using a headphone, that background piano made me look around so many times to see where the music coming from!

I've had Blender installed on my computer for months, but I've never got round to using it until after watching your video. I've purchased the tutorial from gumroad and just finished part 1 - very good, easy to follow. Thank you.

I didnt think I was gonna have an easy time learning how to 3D model/sculpt but you hella proved me wrong. Thank you so much for posting this video!!

Absolutely LOVE this video, thank you so much.

You're Amazing Yan...Keep it up..👍

Awesome run through. Appreciate you putting up here for us. I had no idea how to use any of the sculpting and was looking at starting out to learn.

first time doing anything like this and had a blast making an ear out of a sphere thanks for taking time to put this tutorial up!

That very last tip at the end was so helpful! I always tried to join the two objects together to sculpt them but it never worked haha Thank you for this detailed tutorial! Simple and easy to follow :)

I learned sculpting thank you so much

Ah, I thank the KZfaq recommended for you for getting me straight to this video series. This is the best sculpting tutorial in blender so far. Thanks a lot for sharing such knowledge.

1 minute in and i love this, your videos are filled with a possitive energy that i just love them!

Thank you for your tutorial in sculpting with Blender. I really enjoy it!

You are a legend man. Thank you so so much for these tutorials, we all appreciate it! Your explanations are interesting and entertaining and always a pleasure to watch. Keep doing what you're doing, we look up to you :-) you're mad talented too! The effort put into your content does not go unnoticed.

If like me you got stuck at changing the "lens" value: in the current version (2.9) it is called "Focal Length".

Thanks for your tutorials Yan, I'm slowly learning Blender coming from Maya

This tutorial was so helpful! There were some issues I ran into whilst sculpting but now it all makes so much more sense! Thank you so much!

As I said on Twitter, if it's from you, then it is a MUST!! Great job man, seriously!

Great style with your characters. The video was very well done. Suggestions, if your interested, would be to Start up Screen Cast keys. It would help to show the hot keys as you use them. Also, you should point out how many faces are created when using Dyntopo. People can run into major issues sculpting an ear that is over 200k faces. Great work and thank you for sharing.

tried to sculpt an ear... it did NOT turn out well...

Awesome video Yan. Love the pace and the clarity of narration. Please keep them coming!

Thank you so much for the video. This is a great tutorial for learning the brushes. also your set-up of the tablet pen (for the middle mouse wheel) really helped me to get very involved and into my sculpts. I really love when a tutorial delivers like this, so many tricks and tips are included with this video.

That's awesome. I want to be an indie game developer, so I want to know a lot of things that I can use. I've never been a very artistic person, but I've always want to give it a try. I'll download Blender tomorrow and get used to everything you said, that's an awesome tutorial. I couldn't find a better one here on KZfaq. And I like your sculptures a lot, they're incredible.

That look view control is exactly the same with cinema 4d Alt+left mouse Alt+right mouse Alt+middle mouse

i really enjoy your tutorials. thank you for helping us new users out. im learning alot

Every time I watch your videos I get inspired and motivated. I love your energy. Keep up the good work!

Lol when he said “which can be annoying” I gave it a like. He’s relatable he’s like a human. Yansculpts: I AM human

Instead of using emulate 3 button mouse, just set the lower button on the pen the middle click. Works perfectly. Also Instead of using using matcaps try the addon "quick prefrences" and use the dark gray preset really good for sculpting. Just my few cents :)

Im just starting blender, thank you for the content.

Hey Yan I just wanted you to know that I appreciate you and your content. Thank you.

This was great! thanks man. I didn't catch it but are you using a tablet for this or mouse? As an artist myself this looks so much better and natural to me that laying things out poly by poly and pushing an pulling points all the time.

Hey YanSculpts! I'm big fan of your channel and you inspire me to learn blender's sculpting. But I'm have trouble - blender don't have many custom brushes and I don't know how to sculpt some elements (for example fur). Can you give me some advice to did this? P.S. Sorry for my bad English. It's realy sucks.

You’re such a great teacher. I was able to learn soo many important things from you.

Really grateful for this. Thank you!

Please include a table of contents in your video description with time links to the various points in the video.

Hey man you probably won’t even look at these anymore cause they’re about a year old but for some reason on my blender the tool only drags out individual squares of the object, unlike where yours adds increasing smaller squares for fine detail in the ears etc. I’ve done exactly as you’ve said and can’t seem to get it to work EDIT: Nevermind it’s Ctrl-D to toggle dyntopo

This is so great! Fast and to the point but just enough info to keep up easily! Thank you for this :)

Great video! I've gotten my first blender figure after just a 30 minute video, definitely subbing

I can't find Matcap or the Shading option in Blender. Can somebody tell me where it is?

6:56 dont mind this timestamp. this is where I stopped (for now).

This has to be the best and most concise video I've seen on using pen tablet for sculpting. It was a lot of fun doing it too. Even my crappy little computer managed to handle a good amount of polygons.

As always YanSculpts, thanks so much for the video :). I've started sculpting daily after watching your videos. It is getting easier too. Thank you so much, and happy early christmas to you too :). I can't believe how awesome blender is with sculpting, blows my mind. Going to be even more awesome when that new update comes out with eevee!

2:50 Video starts here Thank me later!!!

I do not have a tablet.. would you recommend me getting one for sculpting in blender? is it necessary?

Thank you so much this is very helpful!

Thank you so much for this tutorial.. I was looking for this for a long time.. thanks a lot..!!

6:04 warning warning i found **BALLS** you know what i meant ;D

Why am I here, I don’t even use bLender neither do I know what it. Is and I don’t sculpt or draw, fun to watch tho

I just came across your channel. I can already tell that this is going to be my go to channel from now on. Thank you

Thank you yan🔥🖤

Put ur system specs in the description. Helps ppl to get an idea of how their computers might handle a given task. Someone with an intel gpu/cpu and no dedicated gpu will think blender is broken when they go to sculpt hires. Ya know?

Okay just saying, the ring light is really creepy how it outlines your pupil and makes you look kinda demonic

Thank you so much for this!

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this!

If everyone change to 'left mouse' for select, that would be great. Blender will never catch on as much as it should till they make that the default. Right click the select is about as dumb as right click to draw or paint would be.

OMG look at his eyes the light is reflecting off his eye and it makes it look so weird, its all i look at!

Very helpful. Really enjoy ur daily tips videos as well.

Cool quick flow intro, thank you! Now Subscribed. 🙌🏽🙏🏽

thanks so much cant wait to get started and bring my characters to life!

This is such a good introduction into basics and essential tools for sculpting. Thank you!

You are amazing. Thank you so much

This is awesome.

Man, ifkn love you... this is such a good video for me. you know this program ! thank you !!!

Wow. Just found your channel and it's brilliant! Thanks for your work, man.

Im hiting the like button just because of the excitement coming from him kkk full of powerful energy. it will be a unbelievable tutorial, i have no doubt about it. in a few days/hours, i just decided to transfer my amateur ''average'' drawing skills that i just ''betrayed'' lefting it behind, thinking ''ah man, i draw no so complex, amazing things. its useless. What can i do using this?'' to the 3d world. Im dreaming about this. finally i found something where i can use ''that useless amateur skills''. At the same time im afraid to spend time in a probably impossible goal. Im beginning from zero in 3d world. I just have a 3d square, that blender creates automatically to me (lol)

Thx So much Yan I've been finding Sculpting tutorial for years

Dropping to give a big thanks for this, motivated me a lot and cleared a lot of things like smothing with shift.

First video i saw of him and this guy is awesome. Subscribed in the 2nd minute

Loved it. You made it look so easy and fun. Thankyou.

THIS IS SO AWESOME! You're my savior! Thank you so much!!
