3D sculpting is a digital equivalent to traditional clay sculpting. You start with a piece of (digital) clay that you can push, pull, smooth, grab, pinch or otherwise manipulate. That’s cool and all, but it seems pretty difficult to learn, right? Well, there are several great, beginner-friendly use-cases for sculpting aside from making models from scratch. Let's take a look.

    Very cool video! But I thought plumbuses were made with Schleem, a dinglebop, and fleeb juice
  • @studio5541
    Such a comprehensive tutorial for modeling software. Really satisfying!
  • @RyanKhoo
    What a coincidence! I just picked up sculptris a couple days ago to pass the time! Will definitely enter that contest!
  • @themakerken3453
    I've been looking for hours for a video just like this one. Thank you

    As a professional I recommend 3D-Coat for sculpting. On top of being fantastic for sculpting it handles retopology, uv mapping, and texture painting. Plus it's cheaper than many of the other options.

    Awesome video Josef; I started recently modeling and i love it
  • @_Simon
    my prusa mini says it will arrive sometime very soon! I'm super excited!
  • @Pesto-64
    Long time Blender user (and ZBrush) and I just ordered my Prusa MK3S about 2 weeks ago. So glad you did this video. Also, don't forget CGBoost for Blender training!
  • @cuate3d186
    I learn so much with ths, thnks guys !!
  • SelfCAD is pretty decent choice for beginners when it comes to overall modeling. + you can always export files to other programs
  • @ColdFuse96
    Wouldn't it be cool if they made Blender Sculpting for Virtual Reality? You could be in like a big empty room with basically every tool you could think of, sculpting out your thing like if you were clay sculpting in real life!
  • @UNVIRUSLETALE
    Nice, I'll definitely give it a try on my yoga laptop with pen, I didn't even think of sculpting when I got my printer
  • If you're gonna recommend people/channels, you really should add the links in your description, good info though thank you
  • Josef- I enjoy all of your videos, and the use of CAD is no exception. I do like Blender & Meshmixer, but I recently got Geomagic FreeForm+ and love it (expen$ive as it is!). Wishing you continued success.

    And Blender 2.90 has mesh filters (sharpen, smooth and surface smooth) that allow you to clean up Photoscanned objects easily
