This video is brought to you by skillshare. Sculpting is a very important part of creating 3d models in computer graphics today. If you want to learn how to sculpt characters, creatures or hard service models, there are many sculpting software to do just that in this video we’re gonna go over seven 3d sculpting software that have different tools and features and can help you as a beginner artist. Number seven sculpt GL sculpt GL is a digital sculpting web app, meaning that you will be able to use it online on a web browser. And if you want to download the standalone version, you can do that as well if you want to. Even though this seems like a simple tool for sculpting, it has really nice tools and features that will allow you to create any type of model like characters, creatures or hard surface objects. It has a basic set of brushes such as the basic brush, inflate, smooth twist, drag, etc. This can help you create relatively complex scopes with ease. You can also do PBR vertex painting and voxel remeshing using meshing algorithm to produce Quant only mesh. When you need that. In addition to dynamic topology, you can import and export 3d models for different purposes, including 3d printing, because it supports OBJ and STL file formats. This sculpting software is completely free. You can start using it online right away or download the standalone version number six mesh mixer. Meshmixer is an Autodesk software that can be considered a good software for sculpting, in addition to fixing and enhancing meshes for 3d printing. It is not the best when it comes to sculpting, but it has some nice tools that can help you out as a beginner to get started and understand how sculpting works. This software has a set of basic brushes for sculpting like drag draw, flatten, pinch move and so on mesh mixer is a good option. If you want a simple software to sculpt your models for 3d printing, if you want to focus on 3d printing and not learning complex 3d scoping software by the way it is completely free, you can download it right now and start working on your projects. If you want to. Number five sculptures, sculptures is a simple and easy to use as competing software that was developed by Thomas Peterson and then further developed by pixel logic. The creators of Zbrush sculptures is no longer being actively developed by pixel logic and is considered a legacy application as it is stated in pixel logic official website. But you can still use it and learn a lot from it, especially as a beginner because it is easy to use and it is good enough to create decent projects. It is a good point from which you can start practicing how to use the basic tools of zbrush, and these tools are easy to learn and features are easy to understand because it is user-friendly software to handle if you have no prior experience since sculptures and zebras are connected because they have been developed by the same company for a couple of years. One of the most important advantages of this 3d modeling software. Is that the skills you will learn using Sculptri’s can be further upgraded using Zbrush, meaning that what you will learn using Sculptris will not be wasted. In addition to that sculpture’s, files can be easily imported and sent easily to zbrush, and by the way, sculptures is completely free to download and use number 4 3d code. 3d code is an interesting 3d program that can be used for sculpting, but it is kind of different compared to the others. It is a commercial digital sculpting software designed to create freeform, organic and hard surface 3d models using different tools and features that enable you to sculpt In addition to any polygonal topology either automatically or manually create UV maps, texture and paint the resulting models with natural painting tools. This software can be used to import 3d models from other 3d packages such as 3DS Max Maya, Cinema, 4d or blender to be redefined or add further details using its powerful sculpting and painting tools, Even though the way 3d code works is not necessarily similar to what you can see in the previous 3d competing software. It does not make a huge difference if what you are aiming at is sculpting nice things such as characters, animals or impressive things like creatures and hard surface models like robots and ships. If it does make a difference, it is going to allow you to create even more amazing things because 3d code is more advanced and capable than the other software. We talked about already. 3d code is not a free software, but it is not expensive. Either there are basically two options. The amateur version, which cost 99 and the professional version that costs 379 at the time of recording this video And the good thing is you’re not going to pay for a subscription whether you are paying for a license to use it forever number. Three mudbox mudbox is a software for 3d sculpting and painting, developed by Autodesk. This software is interesting because it could have become a leading software in the professional 3DS Compton in the future in industries such as game development and visual effects. Unfortunately, it started declining in its user base over the years. But it is still very good. Mudbox was developed by Sky matter in New Zealand as a group of artists were working on Lord of the Rings at Vera Digital. They created the software to expand their own tool set and was the first used as a complete product in King Kong. The beta was released in 2006 followed by the version 1.0 in 2007 on August 6 2007 Autodesk announced the acquisition of Sky matter at the time it was a fierce competitor to Zbrush, and it is still aced to a certain extent. The sculpting tool set contains a wide set of brushes with adjustable falloffs. The use of 3d layers allows for design visualization, non-destructive sculpting and high polygon count, even tens of millions of polygons because Mudbox was developed to sculpt huge, uncomplicated creatures and monsters for visual effects work all the standard transform and selection tools are there as well In addition to paint layers that were added a few years after development, Mudbox also includes stamps and stencils, mudbox is subscription based, but it is affordable because it is only 85 dollars per year before we continue with the last two software for sculpting. I recommend you try. Skillshare skillshare is a learning platform that has thousands of classes on a variety of different topics. For example, you can find a lot of classes that can help you to do that. Step by step for learning blender, Maya Cinema, 4d zbrush, and much more. I recommend first checking, blender, 3d or first character class, which will help you get a solid grip over the basics before moving to complex stuff also. If you want to learn zbrush, there are many classes, including this one that will teach you how to sculpt Kratos the God of war in zbrush. In addition to all the concepts and tools you need to have a solid grip over sculpting in general and the good thing is it is very affordable because you just need to pay less than ten dollars per month to get access to all these fantastic classes. The first 1000 people who will sign up for our link will get two months of free membership for free links in the description number. Two blender blender is an open source 3d package that can do many things in a production pipeline. It can do basically anything that the other 3d packages can do. In addition to having the ability to sculpt, the developers added some interesting sculpting functionality in the earlier versions, and that has only grown with the addition of great tools such as dino topo sculpting, which is great feature to sculpt creatively with the ability to change resolution with intricate details that need millions of polygons blender has become a far better sculpting software in the last couple of years because it is being updated super fast compared to the other sculpting software. It has now a wide range of sculpting brushes and tools that are necessary for the process. Blender is good for you if you are beginner because it is completely free and because it is simple when it comes to sculpting specifically number One, Zbrush, Zbrush is his company software that combines 3d and 2.5 D modeling, texturing and painting. Right now it is the most advanced and probably the hardest to learn on this list. Zbrush is especially useful and powerful when it comes to creating high quality and high resolution models that need tens of millions of polygons for use in movies, games and animation by almost all companies in those industries because it is the software dominating sculpting. It is not the most user-friendly sculpting software, but it is surely the most powerful it is kind of different. In the way it operates, for example, its user interface and how the tools are distributed is not the most intuitive. But you will get used to it. After a certain period of time, Zbrush comes with many features to add sculpting and modeling meshes. The initial download comes with more than 30 3d sculpting brushes with more available for download later on Hdbrush offers unique attributes as well as allowing general control over hardness intensity and size. Alphas are used to create a specific pattern or shape and textures are also editable price features. Some of the most important features of Zbrush include Dynamesh, z-remesher fiber, mesh, shadow box and much more. Zbrush is not free, but there is a version that is designed for new artists or those who don’t have experience with sculpting and want to put their hands on it without the complicated features of zbrush. This version is called Zbrushcore Mini. It has a streamlight interface that lets anyone jump right in and start sculpting immediately. Additional sculpting software, There are actually other interesting 3d packages that have the ability to sculpt such as Moto, which is a complete 3d package like blender. Maya and cinema 4d it has decent sculpting, brushes and tools that can relatively help you sculpt characters, organic objects and hard surface models as well. Another software is cinema 4d even though cinema 4d is not great for sculpting, it has nice features for creating shapes and characters nonetheless.
