Plot twist part two is -1h

c'est compréhensible de vouloir élargir ton auditorat en anglais mais bon c'est déja très rare trop même en français donc les 2 serait cool

Out of 3D. I visited Germany and France some years ago. Most French people can understand English while in Germany only secondary school students could do that.

Yo concuerdo ☝🏻

You do not need a base mesh, you can of course start a sculpt from scratch ... but especially as a beginner it is a lot easier and less time consuming if you can simply import a mesh that already resembles what you're trying to make. A couple tweaks to the characters proportions and you're ready to move on to the actual sculpting. A base mesh is however no guaranty that you won't have to re-topologize the model at a later point. The better the edges of the mesh align with the details you are sculpting, the more detail you'll be able to sculpt on each subdivision level. Which could also have an effect on system performance, if your hardware isn't capable enough to push millions of polygons around. Every new SubD level will quadruple the poly count after all. If you want to work with base meshes then having gender specific models is worth the bit of extra time making them. Otherwise you'll have to adjust basic proportions, shoulder width, limb thickness etc. every time you start a new project ... that time is better spent on gender specific meshes. For example it's much easier to sculpt a female chest if you don't have to force a square topology into a round shape. If you don't want to make those meshes yourself, you can also just search the darker places of the web for ripped models from DAZ Studio and Poser. Load the Obj's into Blender, stitch them together at the seams, done ... so I've heard ^^.

You should be fine with a miximo type base mesh or buy a cheaper one from unity asset store or unreal engine and export to blender. I know this message is an older one, hope you are doing well!

I'm using a cintiq, but I started with a bamboo a long time ago. I think that you are going to be fine with an intuos ;) Don't worry, as soon as you are using a tablet the rest is time and practice.

@@sociamix Just purchased a xp-pen pro - I decided the only price comparable wacom option would be really small and have no functional buttons (they don't sell the bamboo anymore just the one with the 5 top-mounted buttons which seem inconvenient). I was reading that wacom competitors were getting better so hopefully they're right and it'll be good enough for sculpting. Thanks for the tutorial - Blender is finally tolerable now that we have the 2.8 interface so hopefully I can just get away with it and a drawing tablet (maybe substance painter as well) and don't have to fork out thousands of dollars for various software to get things going like the old days.

There is a strength and radius feature you can adjust

Exactly what I was going to say....the starting base mesh of this video has more indepth and smoother than the previous video's ending base mesh.

You can find the full tutorial on my channel ;)

Non, mais c'est le début des tutos en anglais ;)
