Hello, guys.
In this part of the course, I am going to explain to you the sculpting menu in Blender generally how
to sculpt, undo some sculpting practices.
But before that, I need to clear something out.
So in any part of using any other parts of Blender, when you are using Blender, you just working with
a mouse and keyboard is fine.
So that's because when you're modelling, for example, in your editing model, you just move vertices
around and you are usually dealing with a fair low amount of geometry and that also goes for like shading.
You just click on this stuff right here, you just make like notes over here and you connect them with
a like this and just a mouse using your mouse walks in any of these of these parts.
And even if you are a texture painting or vertex painting, if you are doing some simple word expansion
or texture painting, just working with a mouse like is enough, right?
But when it comes to sculpting, because sculpting is a whole other thing and it's very different than
just box one of the link.
And it is the opposite of what we were doing until this point of the course, we were doing just some
very technical stuff like moving around, adding adding loops and then using those loops and using the
points to adjust the shape of objects.
Well, when it comes to sculpting, if you go to this person over here and go to a splash screen when
we open blender, this menu comes in with the general 2D animation, sculpting, VFX and video editing.
So Blender has already prepared some some files that are that things are ready for you to start.
So if I go to General, we get this this cube in the middle that we can start modelling.
Well, if we go to sculpting and then we go to this sculpting type, which in the top we only have sculpting
and shading, and that allows us to just focus on the sculpting.
So if I'm going to explain to you all the brushes and this settings lower here just don't mind is for
now don't get confused.
But as I was saying, when it comes to sculpting, it's more of a creative process rather than just
moving vertices around rather than very technical process.
So it's seen as like drawing.
You would draw on a surface.
All right.
And then when you move around, you saw your drawing, okay?
And then you can use the radius of the brush and draw it like this.
All right.
I'm using the mouse right now.
But sometimes, for example, with a mouse or in using a mouse, it is only applying this range that
you have over here.
So if I have like this, I get the result like this.
And if I increase their strength like this, I get a more like very more strong effects over here.
And if I decrease this range like this, the effect will will be like almost non visible.
All right.
So we we're using your mouth when you're sculpting, you just drawing with a certain amount of strength
and you need to just keep your eye in this strange amount.
And as the radius amount, how much radius you have and how much red, how much is strange you are using
to put to draw.
All right.
And then sometimes when you are drawing, you want to draw something very, very specific and very detail
and you want to do some library.
You tell these detail stuff and it comes very, very hard with a mouth.
Like you have to like do very look very closely, very you are drawing these lines over here, but now
I'm going to switch to a pen.
I mean, comes to a pen.
We have one option over here, which is a pen pressure, syringe pressure.
And when using a pen tablet or a display tablet and using a pen blender can identify the pressure that
you're putting your pen, the pressure you are putting with your pen on the tablet.
So with this with this hundred as range, if I'm using the mouse, I will only get this kind of a strange.
This is very.
Very consistent all over the drawing.
But if I use a pen or a noun, and if I do this now, I'm pressuring the pen very hardly.
And then if I do this, if I don't appreciate it on the surface of my tablet and goes something like
this, then the strands will be like something like zero.
So I did that with one stroke.
I put almost 100 person's pressure on this area, and then I would use the pressure with my pen in this
area.
And that allows you to do very fast sculpting.
So, for example, if you want to add some geometry over your object, when you're sculpting and using
a pen, you're adding pressure over here.
Then you reduce the pressure over this area, something like this, and you will create very nice shapes
with just one stroke, one one, one, two stroke.
But if you want to do that with the mouth, you have to just do something like this, reduce the strange
something like this and reduce a strange something like this.
And you never get a good result.
You have better pen.
Another good thing that you get better.
Another good advantage of pen is that you don't get that.
It's hard when using a comparison to when you're using a mouse.
So when using mouse, you have to your whole wrist has to just move with the mouse and your whole fingers
are just doing helping you to track your drawing over here.
Right.
Well, with a pen, you just your whole life you have trained how to draw with a pen.
Maybe.
Maybe how to write with a pen.
And just using a pen is much, much is much more intuitive than using a mouse.
And you're sculpting and you can do some crazy stuff and change shapes of very quickly that you can
do with a mouse.
And that is something that you need to consider.
So if you are considering learning sculpting, I highly recommend to you that to buy a pen tablet and
the most the most famous companies that sell tablets are Wacom and human.
I think that's a small human and an XP pen.
All right.
So these three companies are the most famous known.
The work back home is the most, let's say is the prices are very high for Blackcomb and they're the
oldest company that are doing they are making these products of these tablets.
But you need to know that at first, if you're just starting, you don't need a destroyed tablets.
All right.
You don't need to buy this tablet and the away from these display tablets.
This is just you.
You're just maybe throwing away your money because maybe after doing some sculpture and you don't like
it that much and maybe you want to just do some sculpt.
So like every week, like once or two times a week, you just come to blender and then just do some
sculpts for fun.
All right, then you don't need a very expensive tablet.
You need to buy a pen tablets.
All right.
The one that doesn't have a screen and I'm telling you, a pen tablet is much better than this for tablet,
for sculpting.
All right.
And there are some reasons for that.
The the most important reason for me and this is a vita with a display tablet, you have a really bad
pause.
You need to sit in a very, very bad pose and you have to just lean forward to sculpt.
But with the pen tablet, it's just like a piece of paper on your on your desk and you're just looking
at your monitor and you you just look at the mind and start drawing shapes and something like that.
All right.
So I personally prefer pen tablets or display tablets when it comes to sculpting.
But but if you're starting out never, never, ever start buying a display tablet, I just buy a cheap
pen tablet.
I'm going to show you with these two components.
The.
Vacuum pens.
I was this fits all.
Those are very the prices are very high.
But these two companies, these are very good tablets.
And you can so looking for them in the market maybe buy them so that come has the same display tablets
and some pen tablets that you can then you can find.
So this tab over here is for pen tablets, the just search to search these pens.
I was on the internet and then see the reviews if there was one or search you best.
And we have expert panel over here that has some display tablets and some pen tablets over here that
are very good.
So some of these companies have these pencil was in the medium size and the regular size.
If you have monitor, if you using the monitor that is below like something like let's say 24 inch,
then use small tablets.
All right.
The small tablet is for these ones or here, for example, is 1000 for those kind of monitors that are
not that big.
But if you like me using very kind of a big monitor, like I'm using a 27 inch monitor.
So you may consider buying a medium size like this.
This is like an all for a tablet that you can draw.
All right.
So I want to show you I want to talk about this first before going to the whole sculpting process,
because it changes a lot when you're using a pen.
And it's actually very, very fun to sculpt through the pen.
And the feeling is very, very fun.
And yeah, that's it.
So in the next video, you're are going to take a look at these sculpt minimal.
