First sculpt after 10 days break

all right guys I was waiting for 25 people uh who are waiting but uh no it's at 25 why not it's 24 now so it's cool now what's the idea of this I haven't skilled it in 10 days at least I haven't touched even the the tablet I was touching blender here and there because I had to revise and do some things on this girl which uh I had to prepare her more for printing because my printing guy had a little bit of an issues of the model being a little bit Hollow but we will see what will happen and maybe I will do another like a bonus video after the after the course or I will upload it directly into YouTube it doesn't matter which one but the idea here is that uh yeah it turns out to be a pretty nice model and I made just a little bit of a posterman here just for her to step and we don't have yet a 3D print of it but whatever we have 3D print of the Viking which is great of course with a yellow t-shirt yes okay why because this is this go this is going to be a bad sculpt since I'm gonna try to do this monster uh when I kind of am warming up uh I don't have too much experience right now since 10 days I haven't skipped it so I'm a newbie now and I have to learn relearn how to sculpt uh so that's why the yellow t-shirt the blue t-shirt is the master t-shirt the yellow is Apprentice now I'm apprentice and I will try to relearn how to sculpt today that's just uh you know regular not regular stream but a little bit strange stream it doesn't matter now we will do this front part of the face we will start and I will tell you a little bit more today what happened today is very sad for me because I lost a dear friend of mine which was my Bluetooth headphones I mean they're here but I uh I watched them with my with my shorts they were inside the shorts and I put the shorts into a thing water and wash them and then I realized this is here and now it's they're kind of dead but it's cool I mean yeah it's sometimes these things happen we shouldn't put this into too much too much attention to this but this was an interesting thing that happened today which is good uh no it's not good I don't like it I don't like this but whatever okay let's read some little comments taking a break is too important glad you had one yes thank you uh he'll Only Could you test the new blender here's called real geometry tube no I haven't I haven't tested the new things in blender although now we have blender 3.6 uh three point six 3.6 should be a little bit better in Cycles should be a little bit better in some other areas I probably will test it at some point but not today tomorrow I am at the big wedding so tomorrow it will not be that's why I'm doing the stream today because I don't have time tomorrow too much work of the wedding I have to drink I have to eat too much work so it's it's not gonna be easy but maybe I can do a drunk a drunk stream after the wedding why not we'll see a true extreme will be interesting here after the wedding so this is the horn because this is obviously a rhinoceros everybody knows that it's a rhinoceros almost rhinoceros I'm not sure it's something like one let's say it's rhinoceros but not not as much now I'm uh sculpting without this on which is the overlays because I want it to be hard you know and without the overlays it's it's hard it's very hard but I managed to split this object in order to make the teeth so the teeth are not sharp but of course any object as we know can be made whatever we want if we really really really hard if we really hard wanted you know uh Nico you're a professional what they're talking about what do you mean about relearning there is there an explanation expiration date yeah I'm joking a little bit but not too much uh I will tell you why the idea is that when you are not sculpting for a certain amount of time your skill deteriorate and of course to get it back uh you need to just sculpt a little bit not too much I mean it's you can get it back easily but not in the first sculpt so now I'm a little bit slower I'm a little bit uh you know it's a little bit more difficult for me also usually I train for my streams even for the streams I train I do the model at least once just to see what's what and to have a better understanding of it now in this case I haven't why I haven't got time today was a very busy day and also I lost my dear friend the headphones so uh yeah it was busy day for me so that's why I haven't done any testing I'm just opening blender just doing my stuff always that I do in blender which is going here view 88 millimeters focal length of course that's always I go here to viewport shading mad cap attribute because the default is Studio material I think mad cap attribute is my choice and mostly that mostly that I do and then I start streaming which is kind of stupid but the stream I mean it can be whatever it can be just me staring at the camera and nothing else that's the beauty of it I don't have to push too hard I don't have to try too hard for the Stream because it's a stream you know but for the videos which are educational I need to make it educational so I have to you know try it I have to practice I have to train for the particular video yeah shift d duplicate this go in edit mode of course I'm here so I'm always teaching you guys what to do but of course if you haven't go and check out my new course which is with this girl from I do this girl which looks pretty nice by the way I like how she looks let's hide the cape if we can come on select the cape and hide it I cannot something else okay yeah this is for the 3D print by the way I put it here just to keep the cape uh not uh let's hide it also with h I'm pressing H and hiding them yeah she's looking pretty nice but with the cape she's also nice alt H to show everything which was not good idea because we don't want this and this so we can hide them oh we cannot let's hide okay hide them and there is something here which we can hide h and in the other plate no okay oh this one yeah a lot of things we can we have to hide some horns which are um those h but it doesn't matter what matters is good it's good looking whatever let's continue with our uh better scope here I mean this girl is fine but the monster it's finer as you probably can see it's the best the monster is the best 3.6 is better with rendering and sporting High polymers a lot faster that's cool that's cool sir I'm very very well because I was in the beach I was resting it was very cool will there be a blender to substance course there is one which is in this channel in the playlists yeah go to the playlists of this Channel and find the playlist with the 38 videos and there is the course I mean it's free in the YouTube channel itself you can check it out even now because this stream is not going to be the the most interesting thing so you can just close it and go and check it out I love your content I'm studying animation and 3D modeling and your sculpting videos has really helped me thank you Nico cannot cannot watch your stream lately just sound notification you go live and wanted to say hi yes thank you what do you think about sculpting using multi-resolution I don't use it anymore ah it's just buggy what do you think is best way to start sculpting should I start with some courses and just keep doing it and get better through that yes probably that will be our best bet if you want to start without courses uh I don't know how to do it even I when I started I I did some courses myself you cannot learn the program and everything without courses that's why I'm doing cruises and also what do you expect me to say I'm selling courses for living so of course you have to buy my courses to learn blender many people are thinking that blender is not gonna work for them because they think zbrush is the thing that companies want so if you want to find job in the industry you have to know zbrush that may be the case but zbrush alone will not get you a job in the industry your sculpting skills your Anatomy your character creation skills will probably get you if they are good of course but they will become good with blender also so zbrush is just a program you can learn it in just like a month basically yeah but the skills that can be learned with blender you cannot learn them in a month it it will need much much more time to develop so that's why I'm saying start with blender it's there is nothing wrong with that start with blender and then at some point when you're ready what have I done at some point when you're ready you can go to zbrush without any issue no issue no also micho Mishu is a common name in Bulgaria it's not Mishu it's Mikhail it's also in Russian I think and other Slavic countries Michael but it's uh we call it call them it's like Mish in Russian which means Mouse they have also the name Misha Misha Masha also but whatever I say it's amazing 10 of them thank you the problem is that you are a good Observer sculptor looking at you is no longer looking at the initial object you you do the work and we copy shouldn't we practice with our eye and Analysis of course of course but first uh probably you need to see how the professionals do it and then of course you can try do it yourself with your eye and everything and you have to not just try you have to do it many many times in order to learn and to get used to it it took me many many years to get into a decent level of concept creation it's I mean working from concept it's not it's not very easy it's not the easiest thing many people I think concept it's super easy but it's not now what I'm doing here is not showing you the mask that I did and then how I inverted it and exported it because I told you I have stopped the what is this the show overlays so you don't see the must now but yeah I'm so professional I can work without seeing the mask just without any issue it's for me it's not a problem can you please make a zeros course tutorial for Bender sculptors what ah for if you are ah if you start with blender then to go to zbrush that's interesting probably you have to just go to my absolute beginner zbrush course and you can just start from beginning it's it's just normal to learn from the start how do you have the size skill and rotation all in the same tool ah this is just this tool this transform this one here in the left top as you can see so I'm going away from the mask putting this ear down because it's down like this probably yes it's starting to look like the concept A little bit I think yeah cool now let's do a body because why not why shouldn't we probably a body will be nice a body like this and then yeah I will not do it exactly like the concept because I don't like the concept uh here it doesn't have chest muscles not muscles but fat chest fat it doesn't have it I will try to make chest fat you know that's just my preference I don't plan to follow the concept completely and utterly I will just use it as a base and then I will put my creativity on it and I'm doing this for the Stream because it's more fun but when you're doing a cons uh when you're doing my courses I also kind of say that you always can and probably you should but sometimes it's just your choice to change the concept as you're wishing and many people are doing it and it's great I like it but when you're doing a concept for a company for example for a freelance or something they usually want it to be exactly like they like it is which is sometimes boring but if the concept is good sometimes they are good it's not a problem at all it's fine I want to become a three character artist my question is do I must learn to draw for becoming a good artist or can I just learn the fundamentals in 3D you can learn the fundamentals in 3D I know people that have learned only the treaty they cannot draw in 2D they started with 3D and they continue let me just go back a little bit to see here Speed Charge huge fan of your work I have one question should I start learning how to sculpt them on blender I'm curious easy brush and converting it to Maya to animate I mean if you are using zbrush there is no super big risk and Maya you have those two things blender can be a substitute of those two yes but if you have those and you know how to work with them I don't see the reason to work with blender but uh you know I work with blender for a couple of reasons one of the reasons is blender has a huge following and I can sell more the courses I know I know commercial I know but also I'm Amazed by this that blender is a free free tool and it can do so much and in the beginning when I tried to use blender for 3D character creation I was just curious can I do it and it turns out I can so I just said okay why do I need zebras then there's a mosquito here by the way I don't know if I can get if I should get my gun my salt gun yeah I will get it because I don't want the mosquito to bite me I don't want those just wait a little bit oh the gun is here goodbye mosquito thank you for coming come again if you want or not the mosquito now it was a mosquito right it was just a mosquito just hanging there like with the both all the legs and sitting there and just watching me with the gun going right next to it I went just this close to the mosquito and suddenly the mosquito was just molecules in a fraction of a second I know amazing I want to become three character artists my question is do another characters draw is okay why is that when I choose window ink to sculpt into a blender it freezes very much I don't know I don't use Windows ink I don't know long lost Nico triplet bra yeah it's me what are you using for rematching now you stop using quadromeasure correct yes I stopped using quadromeasure for um for the courses because it's not free it has a freestyle trial but it's not free but it's the best hands down is the best remission remeshing for uh for just remeshing you know it's the best and I'm still using it uh when I want to get a very nice result yes I'm using it I I say that but example let's make this a little bit smaller because I want big hit for example for this girl I haven't used quadromeasure at all at all so yeah it's cool in the course I haven't I mean I showed the quadromeasure once in the course but then I uh Ctrl Z so undo and then I did it with just the regular remaster in blender which is horrible by the way but as I said we want free tools right but of course if you kind of making money with this you will get the quadrant measure definitely it's just worth it if you you know using blender if you're using zbrush there is a good remaster which is called quad remaster again no it was zeroes zero mesh of course I just forget everything about the zebras now Nico I have heard that you need to have a good quarter topology for 3D printing is it that's or no no not at all it can be completely triangled awful topology it's not a problem for 3D printing uh and I'm not joking Nico you're the best will neutral Network surprise to the artist what do you think ah I think not exactly I mean for example now programmers are using AI in their work to work faster and to be more efficient probably the same thing will happen with us and there will always be 3D artists of course they will be a little bit more a few of us for example if a company now needs like uh 10 3D artists it will need after the AI someday takes over a little bit it will need like three something like this so probably the work will be a little bit less and that's a problem probably but if you try hard if you really want to be a character artist you will get good and then you will have work most likely what kind of exercise do you suggest to do daily to improve in sculpting and how much time per day should be enough to get significant result at least two hours over two hours a day I think in my opinion uh will improve your scoping if you are working less than two hours you may improve but very very slowly um so if you want a little bit faster Improvement three or more hours it will be the best and what kind of exercises just do concept working from concept Anatomy sculpt it's always nice thing to do uh let's try this to be a little bit more fat okay now let's put some a little bit of you know arms and see some other questions that people have I'm not saying that I'm an expert on everything but I know a lot of things so yeah love your working advice was killing a flat style illustration character how I can get a good looking shape flat style illustration character I don't know I don't know I mean this is about the render right I mean if you can get a good result of the overall character to make it look good and then you just have to render it flat I don't know I want to save you zebras blender sculpting is useful as well yeah get some mosquito uh yeah should make healthy is holding gonna Discord the mode no age limit to study and learn baby don't know okay do you plan to do videos over animating your characters using kfm no I don't animate I'm a 3D character artist I just scope them I don't animate oh 116 people I don't know why do we have so much people here because I'm not doing anything uh basically and how do you use your graphic tablet could you show the settings in blender I don't change anything in blender I just use the the Wacom tablet and I recommend the wacon tablet this is the cheapest version I'm using one by Wacom which is not a display tablet it's just a pen tablet it's called one by Wacom because Wacom one is another one it's something else so one by Wacom is the cheapest working tablet and I use it all the time I use it for like maybe more than two years now I'm using only this tablet and I'm pretty happy about it and Wacom is kind of foolproof I mean other tablets can have some problems here and there Wacom usually don't have they are one of the oldest brands on the market when I was starting with my uh let's say computer art Journey my first tablet was Wacom um what was called ah welcome yeah I said it in in my video about the tablets I have a video about the tablets that I've used and it was not bamboo even bamboo have it didn't existed back then it was yeah I will remember probably at some point but it was awful I tried it two years ago just to see if I can use it because it's small if I can use it to when I travel but no I can't it's just amazingly bad compared to the today's tablets but still I learned on that tablet I I got the job in Gameloft with that tablet so yeah it was cool but now this tablet is complete crap for today's standards it's very very bad okay now we will put some mirror modifiers here and here and yeah for the legs it's a little bit strange but we'll fix them relax it's not a big issue those 3D character artists need to learn rigging no no need I don't know rigging actually I I rigged a little bit but I don't quite much rig you know because the character artist needs to know like Anatomy working from concept those things especially valuable is to be able to make a character based only on one image sometimes it's it's like this you don't have image from the back you don't have these things you have to work from one image and you have to do it and that's a good skill rigging is not among the skills that you need to have if you can rig great it's fine but it's not something you should be able to do completely you know and I'm saying it because I don't know how to rig exactly I tried to rig sometimes just to make a pose in blender it's easier to read but for for this girl for example my last latest course I haven't rigged I moved everything with masks and with clever engineering and just with moving and yeah it took a little bit of time but rigging it it would be even probably more time consuming because it will require a lot of weight painting and stuff like this which we don't like the videos they are so useful greetings from Argentina Argentina thank you does your blender hang at 90 million portugals for example what I have never reached 90 million the the highest port account I've reached in blender up to this point was I think around 40 million and in 40 million it's a little bit you know problematic sometimes but if you have a better video card than mine probably it will be fine my video card is 2080 the first 2080 super so it's not a very slow video card it's pretty good but it's from like five years ago maybe I'm not sure four or five years ago so if you have more modern one like the the tree the the three series or the four series even you will be completely fine I want to make a little bit bigger hear this series because you know legs are important for a character like this he's a fat character yeah I will say fat I don't care so here's a fat character and he needs to have something to support his weight by the way I was at the beach in Bulgaria here in Bulgaria and uh so many fat people are just amazing I mean we are starting here in Bulgaria to you know Chase America and it's not only in Bulgaria by the way it's all over Europe when a country is kind of starting to get not rich but a little bit richer and stuff and people are getting all the the things like McDonald's like uh everything they are starting to get fat and that's obviously happening here too I've seen that also in Italy by the way not the the adults not so much but the Young Italians not everybody but there are some I'm sure that like maybe even 15 years ago no not so much in the but now all the chips Doritos whatever whatever everything and yeah people get fat I have to walk on bamboo from around 2012 and still works yeah the bamboo is a great pen tablet what's the best platform to sell tutorials our station is the best platform in my opinion but of course there are so many tutorials these days so if you don't have a platform to marketing them like I do a YouTube channel or something with a lot of followers uh even if you make the best tutorial maybe nobody will will buy it here another four from Argentina here thanks for the Sherry contendoon thank you when you worked in the studio how did you do the detailing without a large polygon uh since we were doing mostly stylized characters I don't need too much detailing I didn't need to have pores on the characters and stuff so it was not a problem at all if you need to do realistic characters which I never do I don't do realistic characters maybe someday if I'm very hungry and there are there is no other work maybe I will do realistic characters but now that's not the case so I don't do realistic characters but if you have to do realistic characters you just have to do them then zbrush is your guy blender is still a little bit you know problematic with realistic it can be done with a proper video card and proper you know micromanagement but I think your better bet is the brush but for normal stylized characters blender is your guy it's yeah let's do this then let's oops let's do this I want the head to be bigger it has to be very big like this I think this is more like it something like that should be okay now can I prepare a model for 3D printing are models used in animation different from model use in 3D printing yes of course in 3D printing you need to have the high quality model in animation you need to have a low poly model with low amount of polygons but of course if you don't know that you probably will it's a little bit early for you to start preparing something for 3D print or something you know of course you can prepare something for 3D print if you just buy it from internet like a figure or something Warhammer or whatever you can get it from the internet but it's or most of them are already prepared with with everything you just have to put it to the printer and print it and it will be fine most of the good ones of course so you don't need to prepare have you ever been an environment props 3D artist before character no never I have made props like weapons and stuff but not environment do you believe that if I want to achieve a character artist career our poor need to be a prop artist you have to be able to do props definitely like you have to be able to do a weapon you have to be able to do a shirt bag backpack hat that's always a work for the 3D character also not only the character itself but it's clothes and the weapons by the way I'm watching you while I'm doing exercises in a health sculpting course amazing because thank you very much hello from Canada hello how often do you practice coping uh obviously not not often enough since I haven't done it for 10 days now what's the best farmer to sell tutorials okay with we discussed that did you hear that blender came out 3.6 yes the improved performance in some areas yes also when switching to edit mode and sculpting in sculpting happens quickly that's cool that's cool speed of rendering in Cycles I know taught me how to scope thank you for helping me get into 3D thank you how is your keybind setup for your brushes and your other use tools I always say that uh when I start the course so if you check out one of my courses you will see usually yes or and also I have a video about this in the in this YouTube channel so you can check it out will there be a review of the work on the stream ah the r Station review is probably not today because I will not be able to do anything uh too much with the sculpt I'm too slow today make a Discord sir yeah I will I will make a Discord definitely like uh one year ago that's cool hi Nicole how much time did the Gameloft give it to create one stylus characters about two weeks I want to know how fast I should be do this stuff yeah one week for the high poly and one week kind of for the low poly of course this is with the feedbacks and everything you can do it faster but usually if it's a kind of complicated character style as character not as complicated as this one but uh a little bit less complicated like the one that I did for the YouTube of course one week is completely uh for the high poly and one week for the low pull although the low poly sometimes can be done faster but there is a feedback and stuff like you so one one it's okay nice to see your streaming on Friday have a great scope time thank you very much are you currently working at Studio or freelance I'm just freelancing and uh just from my courses if you go to the description of this video you can see all of my courses you can buy some of them if you like them of course don't do it to support me because I have enough to put the food on my table so I shouldn't be greedy right yeah the credit is not good greed is eating you from your side it's like iPhone iPhone in I think in Deutsche it's in German it's uh um when you cheat on your wife or something like this so cheating I think I'm not sure but yeah it's eating inside do you think blender plus substance painter will be a decent alternative to zbrush for creating realistic characters for realistic characters is difficult but it's plausible I've seen people do it like our guy uh Stefan Hartman for example in the Discord server that I don't have because I don't have a Discord server obviously but I did one one year ago yeah maybe even more I'm not sure is it common to get a remote job or almost job only in person there more and more and more jobs these days by the way Shawarma blender beginner do you have any advice for sculpting yeah practice a lot that's only advice that's my whole advice honey could you make a future male warrior Cruise like you have in zbrush why not yeah definitely did you ever work in a studio if so how long ago I have worked in the studio for yeah for a little bit 15 years nothing too much and it was almost an year ago like nine months nine months ago I quit or they quit me nobody knows we'll keep that a secret hey I learned a lot from your courses thank you for your works and best regards from Poland okay thank you hi Nico can you say some words about my elf in web section let's see do I have a Discord really oh I have this chord that's nice oh there are a lot of good things here in the school let's let's see the Discord a little bit this elf looking very good I mean I like the materials this is the the gold is nice and everything those faults are not bad they're a little bit strange but it's fine here okay uh the boots are a little bit boring in my opinion but that's it's fine again uh I mean will he have a hair or something or she probably is here idea okay something about about the hands but I cannot exactly quite say what ah oh nice what is this this is the concept or yeah yeah continue this is nice oh this is uh this is cool but the hands are pretty huge I think the the hands pretty huge I mean she can grab her whole head with this hand this is a yeah the the muscles of the legs are but they are difficult they are kind of hard this is cool this is nice I I have tried to do myself this kind of things this is the same okay oh this is the Viking good good Wisconsin school a dog Warrior muscle I like to make super muscle characters by the way I don't recommend doing this guy because when you do this guy it looks like your sculpt is bad you know because his face is a little bit strange I'm not saying he's bad looking or something no I like him as an actor but his face is not usual so yeah I don't quite recommend it because it's always if you don't do it absolutely perfect it always will look a little bit strange so our friend sakopato banana no he's now out aguacate he's doing muscular anime girl quite unusual but it's cool he's good he's good we cannot say he's not good he's good so yeah so this this was my Discord Channel if somebody don't know foreign in Russian uh also no I can't remember iPhone 6 is more I've been jealous yes jealousy exactly is jealousy but jealousy is the thing that eats you inside like a rusty spoon it's like digging him yeah let's see thick as mad honey could you ever make an animal Anatomy course I was thinking about it and I even bought a book about sculpting horses I bought it from Amazon and it's here here I I don't know exactly where it is but it's here somewhere it's very very messy around here uh but whatever I bought that book and I was planning to do something like for example a cowboy with a horse a curse about that or a a knight on a horse some somebody on a horse but I haven't got into that someday probably how long will you say it will take to master blender I will say an ear one year if you practice every day for at least three four hours but even sooner you will feel at home probably around after 150 to 200 hours in the program so uh let's say if you put like five hours a day after 20 days but every day after 20 days you will start feeling very very comfortable in the program but mastering it's uh you know blender is a very complex program even I haven't mastered it there are a lot of things that I don't know I don't know how to rig I don't know how to animate I don't know the geometry notes I don't know the hairs that much I know mostly sculpting because that's what I do best and that's it I don't know the other things that much Nico do you miss your Idols yes I missed you guys you're my Idols you know it's yeah will the stream be saved on the channel as always yes yes da uh actually I didn't know that you know Russian uh foreign so I I said that I I understand Russian very well but I speak it not so well because I don't have the practice you know when you learn a language for example you learn it in in school or something and you learn the words you learn a lot of words and since Bulgarian or Russian are pretty similar languages they have a lot of common words so it's not that difficult to understand Russian but to speak it is another thing you have to speak it actually to speak it you have to spend hours speaking to a Russian to actually start speaking it so I have I don't have this practice you know heinekomachi from India Tamil Nadu good a horse will be cool yeah do you heard about new blender version yes I heard about 3.6 and I soon will test it we'll see but I was when they released it I was in the beach so I you know what the best platform to sell tutorials thank you for this question uh I see like the Warrior on the bull Cruise which is awesome yeah something like this but uh but the bull in the Warrior and the bull Cruise uh was not as good I'm not too happy about the bullhau it spends uh with uh what's possible is thank you in Russian everyone talk about learning for the blender for the beginner so do you have any recommend recommend only one book one course so after learn I don't care about it anymore there is no such thing in anatomy there is no one course there is no one book there are certain books like Anatomy for sculptures for example it's just a must also bamas anatomy and other anatomies are very good but all of them and then courses about Anatomy Pro cookers in YouTube even only in YouTube in Proco Channel you can check out the course it's amazing anatomic course you can learn so much only in YouTube without even paying for it because he has a paid version which I paid and it's amazing also and my courses of course for anatomy are good but all of those things you have to go through all of those things and still you will know a little bit about Anatomy at some point it's it's difficult I am not a perfect specialist in anatomy but I know much more than most people of course but I continue to improve I was watching people at the beach and I said oh this okay oh yeah when people are fat these things go here and oh yeah that's you know those kind of things because a lot of fat people as I said I don't have anything against fat people even I am starting to become a little bit fatter than I was uh I was always between 96 and 98 kilos Nam now I'm 104. and it's not muscles it's belly fat mostly yeah oh what does your practice session look like I just sit open blender I grab a sphere start sculpting yeah did you hear blender 2.6 has both maze a base male and female models yes and also stylized ones available to start sculpting I will not never use them uh zbrush has those for a long time I never use them I need to do it for my own and it's it's better to do it by yourself I mean you will learn more if you start from already done model you can probably check it out of course just to learn because they are well made we may say I kind of check them out uh just in pictures I haven't checked them out actually but we can check them out probably at some point in stream those 3D models when I installed 3.6 because now I'm with 3.5 but when I install 3.6 probably we will check them out on stream those models and we will see what they are but they're probably good but of course I I will continue making them making my base meshes uh by myself from scratch because I like it you know if I take away the pleasure from the sculpting what do I have left my most pleasure moments uh when I start sculpting just the starting just when I'm with a sphere and just enormous amount of possibilities so one sphere and so much possibilities it's amazing it's amazing when you're figuring it out and going down tonight yeah it's amazing ever thought of doing Angel concept art I just watched one of your lives with the Brazilian that got real good with about an year of training you also understand some Portuguese how many languages do you speak no I don't understand Portuguese at all I understand very very small amount of Spanish and that's it I mean Bulgarian my bird language Russian I understand like 70 to 80 percent of uh when they speak so yeah I understand pretty much a lot of Russian uh English obviously I kind of speak it and I understand almost everything basically everything I watch movies in English and TV series and everything so that that are my languages Spanish a few words Portuguese almost nothing Turkish few words here and there but I cannot understand conversation at all so yeah just few few words of some languages Japanese Samurai warrior with swords riding a horse will be a killer cruise definitely but it will be killer for me also for this course when I did this course for uh for this girl this was the most complicated character I have done in blender I said it in the promo of the course which is in this channel by the way you can check it out but when I did this course I had this beard at the end of the course and you can see it in my previous stream when I cut the beard and now I'm without build obviously but uh I I had this beard and with the Samuel Samuel work Samurai warrior with the full armor and the horse and everything my beard will be up to my chest probably when I finish the course it will be a very long long course but maybe maybe someday I will do it why not I always wanted to do a samurai warrior course I mean almost realistic samurai warrior not super realistic though I don't do super realistic character I do semi-realistic stuff as you can see and I like to do stylized mostly what happened to your muscles my muscles are still here yeah but my fat is more videos playlist foreign uh you you have seen the 30 31th video so not not the whole 31 videos but just the 30 the video 31 where I tell some stories yeah I don't know what stories I have told in this particular video because it was one year ago I think but I uh I'm glad you find it interesting usually people are like oh I I loved what you did in this course what you said the story that you tell but tell me what story what it was I I don't remember quite much because I speak so much I cannot remember everything I say you know it's impossible let's do some fingers by the way because without fingers he will always be bad but with fingers he will always be good but Nico as the teacher how can you work without those uh to see the polygons and everything we cannot learn this way yes but this is just their you know your regular stream let me see how it was with control no let's see again with shift no oh how was this let me turn it on okay hmm ah okay with control right click and shift C shift C will get back your uh your 3D cursor in the middle of the scene previous hello from Odessa hello Mexico you're the best keep of the good work I just finished the rabbit tutorial and I will post it in the next days on Instagram very good how long it took and if it wasn't for the course where it will be useful I don't know what you're talking about but it's cool Nico can your courses be tracked by the length of your beard on the street we will see it's not not bad I mean it's like seven videos or something or eight it's cool I started three scope from your 30 plus videos YouTube course thank you hi from Ukraine thank you it's it's very cool although when I was doing this the real character for game which act which is actually in the game right now the character is actually in the game uh because it was actually for the game so yeah uh when I did it when I started it it was it was not exactly started as a course it started like uh series of YouTube videos to show how the character is done just for let's say advertisement purposes so people will see it and say oh this will be a nice game Let's Play it but now ah it's more like a course yeah people are seeing it and I'm saying a lot of things in there how I do them and everything so yeah it's cool and I don't know if there is something even remotely uh close to this in YouTube right now free in YouTube as this course there is nothing that come close to this I mean real character for a real game for a big company like Gameloft made entirely in YouTube you cannot find this content anywhere else I'm just say I'm just saying I'm just saying no no thing nothing I'm not making advertisement for myself in my particular Channel no no Nico do you also speak with yourself when you sculpt or practice alone sometimes when I'm angry when I'm angry I speak with myself with curse words mostly yeah Nico da because I don't strangely it keep me focused yet cool let's go hello from Moscow hello or as drastically hey Nicole do you have a favorite classical Sculptor classical sculptor maybe Michelangelo maybe yeah calendar is good I would say he is the best I don't know too much you know classical sculptures I know Michelangelo Leonardo also has some sculptures so yeah I love the streams and cruises because we have a fun time teaching and it's not dry and boring like others are but some people are complaining exactly about that they want dry and boring they don't know they don't want in the middle of the the course a story uh when I'm teaching teaching and sometimes I'm doing something boring to tell a joke to tell a story of my life which can be useful for some people to teach them something just for life's sake they don't like that some people are putting negative comments on udemy just for that because they say this guy is messing around he's telling stories and stuff yes but I'm teaching most of the time I don't know people are strange sometimes I'm a big fan you're my adults know that I have a question for you good I'm trying I'm trying to read all the comments uh yeah it is yes I'm trying to read all the comments uh because especially especially this stream I'm super lazy I don't uh I don't do too much so what else I can just read the comments it's fine what do we need here this subsurface uh two levels press a shift r no not shift R what shift R I don't know okay we don't need shift R we need shift e but we need to select everything shift e now they are squarish squarish is better believe me then we need to apply this Ctrl a on it to apply it then we go to just move it around like this and yeah it was a little bit early to make the fingers because I haven't made the base of them so where each finger will be I haven't made that so yeah but I will make just three fingers it's it's easier this way I went I'm lazy there will be big fingers that's why just three alt s to make them fatter or thicker come on it's okay good now in scope mode I will move a little bit this is I mean the streams are mostly for fun and these days I'm doing the streams in my main Channel not in my channel for streaming uh but I will probably move into my streaming channel for the streams because it's the channel for lives you know this channel is for the serious stuff the other channel is for the fun stuff like streams so yeah so my question is why do you switch to blender is there any particular reason I already said that so if you watch this video again maybe you will get the reason but I can just do something here it's not working so let's try we don't have the why the scrolling text is not working now the scrolling test is not working it was working back in the days now it's not no there's no okay scrolling is not working ah it's not working out so do I have a periods when I think that I cannot sculpt yes and um for example one of those periods was there are periods like this in every sculptor for example when I was studying for my female anatomy course I have a course about female anatomy specifically and when I was studying I was training to make this course there was a point that I was making a female body and the face and everything and it was worse than yesterday and I was like what's happening here I'm starting to lose it I'm not gaining uh you know skill I'm losing skill but there is always think you you don't kind of against kill like this like a straight line you can skill like this straight line up then a little bit down then straight line up then a little bit down but if you go down and then you quit you will never go up more than you were before but if you continue you will always go up again so don't worry if suddenly you cannot do it just continue just try again and again and again and you will be able to do it at some point even better than before that's just absolutely normal many people don't know that and they're like uh petrified when they see that their sculpts are worse and their work is worse than before and they're like what's happening to me am I losing it no you just have to continue you have to keep going keep doing it and you will do it believe me I'm an engineer trust me I'm an engineer you know hello where's the free course of yours it's in this channel in the playlists the playlist of the 38 videos I need it I'm on the process of completing my second game character for game Studio Ubisoft and Mortal Kana yeah you can see it but it's in blender so if you're using zbrush it's similar things so you can try it do you have buy me a coffee no I don't have it but you know those things like donations and everything I currently I don't feel I need it because you always can support me by buying one of my courses in our station or in udemy they are not so expensive and uh you know just buy the course even if you don't want to watch it you can buy it and I don't need this buy me a coffee since I have my courses sold on R station especially because in our station when you buy The Cruise for twenty dollars I got 18 and a half dollars so almost like 90 of the money so our station is the best place if you want to give me some money for example I don't know why you would you want to do it uh if you like me or something but if you want to do it you just buy a cruise in our station it's just that simple we need zebras by eye but you're from Russia you cannot do this I don't know people from Russia are constantly asking me how can I pay for your courses and I say okay you you may not pay for them you can go to root tracker or track your rule or whatever torrent site you have there I know there's a Tracker rule or root tracker I'm not sure which one of those is and I think my courses are there so you can download them from there you can watch them you can learn from them you can develop your skills that's the most important thing then when everything finishes when everything is over the war is over and everything and when everything is open again which probably will happen at some point then you can thank me by buying some of my courses it's it's fine if you like them of course so yeah don't feel bad if you cannot buy my courses because you're from Russia just go to the torrents don't worry about it it's fine or also if you're a student and you're living barely and you know cannot buy a bread to eat don't buy my cruises just go to the Torrance take it from them learn and then after you kind of become if you become a good artist at some point and you think that I have some uh something to do with it yeah you can buy my courses from our station some of them or all of them I have by the way a bundle in our station many people don't know that but in the store you can click on bundles and I have a bundle which is always like 30 off all the courses inside combined are 30 off their original price I mean in the bundle but it's like 90 dollars or something the bundle so it's not cheap so if you answered this before do you prefer blender or zbrush overall ah do you focus more blender because it's more accessible for everyone exactly I'm focusing on blender mostly because it's more accessible for everyone and from that I can sell more courses and stuff like this yes but zbrush is the better sculpting tool I can say that yes I know yes it's more polished it's better but not that by much so it's for example let's say we have a new Volkswagen Passat a car and we have Mercedes C-Class the Mercedes usual will be better but not by much I mean you know it's the same but in the case of blender the Volkswagen Passat is free which is cool so it's better the better car let me see prevents I have learned I have studied Anatomy for over probably 20 years but not exactly every day it was 20 years but some I have like one year I have like two months of constantly studying and then not so much and then the other year like one month or two months of study study and then not so much so for 20 years let's say the the overall constant studying Anatomy will be around maybe three years or or even less so if you kind of spend this time at once you can do it in far less than me um [Music] uh so uh Dr new is saying that she's basically saying I'm the best and there are people who are sending their cruises for much more money but they are not giving so much content and so much knowledge and value which yeah I can agree about that but there are people who are selling in my prices and they're giving also good value so yeah we can say also that there is not one side of the coin you know there are always another at least one Nico and hurting bro he's a pimp who's a pimp okay I will buy a course okay good have you decided on what your your next course will be I kind of kind of did it uh it should be something Warhammer related probably a figure for print like 3.5 centimeters which is the regular print for uh normal soldier in one hammer I think not sure yet but I have a guy who knows everything so we'll work with him a little bit and I will try to make a course about that I just want to do it uh it will be something like Assassin again probably a female again we'll see and yeah many people will say Warhammer you shouldn't do that because they will cereal and everything we will find a way around that we will not name it Warhammer figure we will name it War gaming something doesn't matter it's it will be done don't worry ah I'm new to blender do you think one year is enough for blender yes it's enough to kind of get proficient in blender but not in anatomy and other stuff it's not just a tip animation blender my version of blender now it's 3.5 but now it's 3.6 is the latest so I recommend everybody puts 3.6 I will probably put it but uh yesterday I returned from the pitch from the seaside and I was super tired today I was having so much things to do I was outside almost all day I had to go to the post I have to go to other stuff and stuff preparing stuff so today this stream I'm pretty tired but I I do it and that's why I'm nowhere with the character as a whole lot just uh Abomination for for this amount of time but whatever it's fine technical planning to pick up a cruise room very good from South Africa big fan hello South Africa heineko just came to your stream yellow t-shirt what does it mean it means that I am an apprentice now I'm not a master the blue t-shirt is a master yellow is an apprentice uh and it's visible you know this is not a Masterwork that I'm doing here it's Apprentice work that's why I'm with this t-shirt because uh by the name of the stream you can say I haven't touched sculpting in blender in many many days more than 10 days actually I was at the seaside I was just relaxing at the beach reading books playing games on my phone in the beach you know amazing sometimes even go into the water and swim I'm very cool if I follow your female assassin Crews you made him blender in zbrush world would I still game on understanding in 3D space problem I think many most of the courses if you have a knowledge of your program for example I have I made mostly blender cruises nowadays but you can if you know zebras good enough you can make the same character in zbrush with the tools of zbrush but if you know it quite well especially for this course you have to know the Z modeler brush because without it it will be next to impossible to do this course this that I did last yeah the goat is back no I'm mostly like a sheep but without the hairs because I shaved it the last stream or it was the stream before the last stream I don't know I think it was the last stream I saved the the beard I don't know did you ever think about making a 3D stylized character based on yourself no it will not be interesting it will not sell the the most tutorials that sell are the tutorials about female of course and this one the last one that I did is selling pretty well but as all tutorials it's selling pretty well in the first month then it's selling you know less and after one year it will make like 100 a month or two hundred dollars a month or something like this so I have to do more courses in order to make money to live to pay for my kindergarten for the kids to the to go to kindergarten and other stuff pay the taxes and everything yeah probably I will not buy an ayat anytime soon or a Rolls-Royce no unfortunately even if I do the best course but this one is the best I mean this one is the best female character course in udemy right now and also probably in our station uh only in wingfox they have better character courses but they're a little bit more expensive this one is pretty cheap so I guess it's the best specifically thank you it's uh everybody has their flaws but I'm trying to not show all of them in uh you know because I want I have to have followers I have to have subscribers and everything in order to sell my courses you know that's the the goal and to do that I have to show myself as a good guy without too much flaws you know so yeah yeah I shouldn't show everything about myself because maybe if I show everything about myself maybe even I will be scared away of myself who knows who knows you never know I'm gonna start a career as a trivia character artist and can you give one vital or golden advice to follow up only practice practice as often as you can Anatomy with the help of anatomy books and courses that's my golden advice probably for a character artists and also do a lot of Concepts I mean work from Concepts a lot to do a lot of Concepts so you can better understand working from concept because this will be your main work most of the time as a character artist to do characters from Concepts and believe me it's not as easy as it sounds well I'm seeing the concept and I will just do it in 3D yes that's what it is about but not as easy the best thank you yes I know but yeah thank you very much uh specific can you show us the art path you are using artpat you mean the tablet yeah check out this Channel and find in the channel the tablet course the tablet video I have a whole video where I show not only what tablets I have used uh from the beginning when I started using tablets it was 2004 I think when I bought my first tablet yeah and not only that but I also show old works of mine in this video particular and I also show uh the I think what I did to enter Gameloft but it was a 2d I did some Amazon warrior with the big spear um you know it's interesting you can check it out the video it's cool do you think Brandon scoop mode is enough to make scales and other rep reptilian details it's if you have a good video card only mind is most important than the tool I think exactly Nico the best teacher in the world about blender not exactly about all blender things mostly about sculpting in blender and doing some other things also but not everything like geometry notes I cannot teach also here for now I cannot teach you you uh what's your advice when making 2D character for a game uh what's my advice just follow the concept and you know make the feedbacks because it's very important even I with all my knowledge and my expertise on making stuff from concept I was having feedbacks for my superiors in Gameloft and the feedbacks were very relevant and sometimes I was arguing with them about the feedback and sometimes my arguments were good and they were accepting them but sometimes they were right with their feedback so you have to be able to you know work on a concept and then take the feedback um and not hit not let it not let the feedback hit you on or on your ego because uh when you're doing something and you're proud of the result you say of I did it it's very nice and then a feedback this is not good this should be like the concept this should be more like this then it could be discouraging and it could be a hit on your ego which you should swallow especially if you're kind of a beginner to intermediate character artist when you're a professional with a lot of experience and a lot of people know you and you have a lot of work then you can kind of release your ego for example it's not good but you can because you can afford it when you're a young artist you can't afford it you have to just do it you have to just yes sir yes sir Roger that you also talked about making a Spider-Man Cruise one of yours Spider-Man Crews will be uh I don't know we'll see I could be an artist I planned on trying again the future money got tight I need to pay the bills yeah that's uh that's I think most people's problem is this because we have to spend time without working just to study art is not exactly I mean 3D artist the beat 3D artist is not exactly easy and fast to learn it's the opposite it's a long process over one year if you're lucky or you're spending a lot of time it could be one year but usually it's more so yeah that's not easy Nico better do a female Warhammer it will be well sold yeah I will do a probably a female female one I would like to know where else I can get a feedback from you and interesting to know your opinion because we can directly say what is wrong it's sometimes it's difficult even for me if it's if it's relatively good it's difficult for me even to say exactly where is the bad thing you know oh we have a Tinder chat com best chat in the world very nice I wish we could meet one day I will talk about a lot of characters that's cool yeah that will be cool I uh I have to make a meeting of my followers or subscribers but it it will be difficult because they are all over the world they are not too much people in one country particular there are a lot of people from India but India is so huge that if I go to India and make a a meeting there most of them will not be able to participate because they will be far away in this very big also so yeah but if I go to Brazil then I will be able to do it yeah Brazil a lot of people from Brazil here what are the difference between the demon hunters and the new course uh the making of the armors is a little bit different and it's this is much more complicated one and also the result of the demon Huntress and the result of this one I like this one more the demon Hunters is fine also the making of the hair of the demon Huntress let's see if it's visible the making of the hair of the demon Huntress was similar process pretty similar and the hair of the demon hunters came out pretty well but the face of the Newman Huntress I'm not super proud of it the pulse of the demon Hunters is nice but it's made differently than the pulse of this assassin so there are differences definitely and this one I think came out better overall but and it's also much more complicated and a lot more detail and that's one of the key differences um you have to do some things differently sexy bodies here yeah first time I go to life you are a great teacher thank you beef always want to know your place strip brush settings I'm so used to zippers [Music] I don't know uh the clay strips I'm using the default settings I just got used to it you know I started using blender and some brushes were a little strange to me but I continued using it and I got used to it I just you know like chameleon I just got used to it I didn't change anything to be like zbrush or something I mean when you are doing it you're uh you're getting from zebras to blender probably you will need to change some things maybe unless you have to just you know leave it like it is and you get used to it after a couple of tens of hours it's not a problem in my case I'm a teacher and I wanted to touch less things in blender to customize just just a few things not too much customization I wanted that's why I don't touch almost anything in blender any settings of brushes and everything I don't touch I just leave it as it is completely untouched this stream is not very productive for me I was not able to do almost anything we don't even have real fingers we have them on both hands which is great we don't have anything except for the base mesh our character which is it's fine it's cool I mean I will leave it as it is it's not that important it's not as important let's answer questions it's more important than that do you have experience using Alpha brushes as such in blender no in blender I haven't used Alpha brushes actually in in zbrush I have used but in blender since we don't go that high with polygons I don't really have the use of alpha brushes in zbrush you can go as high as you want usually so you can use them but in blender no not so much that's why I haven't yeah Niko about the portfolio what do you think showa models as a character sculptor for games just post a without color or with posting color you wish no I mean for the portfolio always is better with posts I mean a character let's say you have one character like this one you have this character this character in a post will look uh half as good as in post the same character with the same level of detail in a pose will look half as good uh than with a post like this for example with a good pose so I think I spent a good amount of like four to five hours just making the pose maybe like this I'm not sure it was a lot of tweaking and moving parts and just tweaking and moving so it was a lot of work but it's worth it to put this work in order to show your model in the best light possible of course then you have to put lights and render it to show it in the best possible light but you have to put the best possible lights to show it in the best possible light in blender if you do it in blender of course Nico about the portfolio what do you think to show off a more characters here okay yeah sexy bot is here oh a lot of what's Happening Here a lot of comments I'm doing a black orc from Warhammer for my first ever character for a couple of months now that's cool uh uh I have never done a character for a couple of months it's just a time that I cannot do I mean it's impossible for me to do something that many months or whatever the most I spent on a character was I think two months yes I think two months for two months I did the character for next to education which was the huntress girl it was a girl with a dog yeah the girl with the dog course it was one of the most probably complicated characters that I have did because not the girl itself she's not that complicated but a lot of weapons there is a pistol there is a rifle there is a gun on her back there is a one two knives couple of watches a backpack and stuff stuff it's a lot of things so yeah can you say something in Portuguese no I don't know Portuguese sorry if you don't yeah I'm from Brazilian thank you I'm Brazilian guy you a lot of braziliansiano can you make heads with animester a lot of people are asking me to make hits with anime style I think I did but I probably didn't alright so I should uh kind of a video about that in this channel speaking of far away for a meet-up good morning from New Zealand that's that's far away definitely classmate chica is it expensive to print models uh no if you have a friend and a printer so I most of you know but I bought a printer it was a nice printer 8K something with a liquid polymer I bought it and I gave it to one of my friends who has other printers like this he put it next to his printers and when I want something printed printed I just send him the file and he prints it for me for example this the the Viking was the last thing he printed let's see the Viking a little bit better come on Focus oh yeah we can see the [ __ ] it's not super visible but it's cool so yeah now we are trying to print this girl the Assassin and we'll see Brazilians are always here with we don't miss new streams yeah exactly did you ever work with udem's not no I know about udem's but I haven't worked with them ever honey can you please review the head Anatomy I sent you screenshots at udemy I will but later not now in udemy you say oh I have a lot of messages like five messages and one question we'll see we'll see we'll see it later I mean I usually answer in udemy how hard it is to sculpt muscle characters it's easier than to sculpt non-muscular ones so yeah what's your opinion on putting models made with a course in portfolio it's cool I think it's it's fine if there are good models it's not a problem of course they're not that valuable as models that are done completely by yourself from a concept that you have chosen [Music] they are valuable they have value because people can see how you know how much time you put in the model how much attention to detail you have it's visible there are people who are just like I will do this cruise and they're like and you can see that the things are not very well made and they don't spend too much time and it's visible but some people are spending even more time than they have to and it's also visible and it's kind of good I mean yeah if I am a Headhunter I want some guy to make a model for me I will always prefer a guy who spends more time and who kind of put his soul into this then a guide on that just like let's do it like no Fast and Furious and not very quality wise I'll make sure to get your tutorials done thank you for answering my question thank you you are amazing to the artist your cruises in your contents are Priceless I wish artists like janskoop could learn from you and could release serious content like you you have skilled this relatively good I I don't know uh about his characters but I think they are good enough yeah and there are other sculptures that are making good content like Danny Mac for example she's good and other guys I mean some of them they can make one type of character because they are younger than me most of them or they don't have as much experience that I have so they can work in one style I can work in many styles I can do realistic characters with no problem I can do stylized I can do highly stylus I can do animation characters I can do everything of course for each of those I may need to do a couple of practice practices to get it up to the point my skill to just bump a little bit the skill on this particular subject but it's not a problem for me for most of them they are doing one style which is great because when you're doing one style constantly you are mastering it so some of those guys that are doing anime girls they're doing a far better job than I would do when I first start but after like one week doing only any mess stuff I will be in probably in their level but my experience is very very big I mean I have I have over 15 years in the industry a little bit over 15 or 15 years and couple of months and I have a lot of experience drawing before that I was drawing since I remember myself so I have a lot of like artistic background maybe we can see but if you concentrate on one thing you can Master it like not easily but faster pulse makes the character yeah yeah heineko but why you are a top skilled streamer I don't know if I'm the top scope streamer but I see that usually in my streams I have over 100 views which for uh sculpting streamer is kind of kind of a big number I'm not sure you're teaching skills and tourism are amazing I watched a lot of courses along the way and none of them keep me interested in the process like yours the jokes between explanations are very good thank you thank you very much and I also think that that is a good process to teach then relief a little bit with the joke or the story and then teach again because constant teaching is overwhelming a little bit can be overwhelming and it's not but when I teach I try to not be monotonous not to be boring and that's the result and some people don't like that by the way which I don't know why why I can't purchase your cruises you can check the links in the description of this video in all of my videos in the description you can check some links like our station store and everything you can check it out and yeah I always recommend people to buy my courses from our station because I get most of the money from the purchase you can buy them of course from udemy but from udemy it's the best way to buy my courses is to go to the promo video of the course in this channel every course that I have has a promo video in this Channel and below the promo video always is a promo link to udemy which you can press and even if in udemy the course is like 90 dollars uh in the promo link it will be 13 or something so yeah how many hours per day should I practice to become a professional I will tell you that that's very very good question how many hours a day you should practice to become a professional so you should practice three hours every day to become a professional in five years but if you want to become a professional in one year you should practice 12 hours every day so the question is how fast do you want to become a professional yeah I'm doing weapons armor many accessories for the black orc and I didn't organize my time well plus I'm doing other projects from a portfolio which are simpler that's good from where are you Mr Nico I am from Bulgaria girl here live life yeah I've done that I think I think and I will do it probably again this girl from Brazil's this year yeah how do you actually become a character artist in the game industry I recall correctly you started as a concept Arts exactly as as a 2d concept artist so how did you transition to become a 3D character artist um I I think I thought told the story a lot of times but it was I was accepted in Gameloft I was 2D artists then about three years after that I was doing Concepts and stuff and UI also I was designing UI because I'm also I was a web designer so I know how to design stuff so I was you you are just the UI artist and concept artist but I didn't like it that much so I started doing 3D stuff for one of the games because they needed another additional 3D artist and I knew three max so I started doing it through this stuff and suddenly I realized that this is what I want to do and I kind of uh there was a test that you have to do even if you work in Game of you have to do a test from 2D to become 3D and the test was a cowboy I think I saw it in the video about tablets a cowboy I did it completely in 3D Max with textures and everything uh back in the days I didn't know zbrush and then we started using zbrush and there was a guide that came from the guy that came that taught us zbrush he came from nothing he just was something else he was a wrestler he was with uh a little bit of shady things he was doing and then he decided to be an artist and he closed himself in the apartment he isolated himself from his friends and everyone he stopped going to the bars and restaurants and disco decks and he uh he has some money saved and one year he spent doing only zbrush characters Anatomy courses everything and at the end of the year he was good enough they took him in Gameloft and he told us me and other people character artist zebrush so it's very useful when you are learning a new program like zbrush because zbrush is a little bit different from all other programs it's very useful to have somebody that's next to you sitting next to you to ask how to open a file how to save a file how is the proper way to do this how is the proper way to do this and how to export and how to do this and it was very fast I mean very fast it's the process to learn this way and then I became a 3D character artist and since then I was doing only weapons and characters mostly what do you prefer scooping male or female usually I prefer male but since these days I'm becoming better and better in females as you can see uh I like to sculpt females too but they are more difficult they require more effort that's why if I'm lazy I like to sculpt mail do you use uh do you like using Dynamic topology when sculpting or do you only voxel and mesh I do all only Vox server mesh the other thing is the dynamic topology in my opinion is buggy so I don't use it but Nico are you planning on doing more interviews in your main Channel I should do an interview with Mr banana now Mr advocado but we'll see we'll see we have to just uh think it through if working in studios is good as a goal it's good it's always good to work in a studio couple of years before you go to freelance for example but freelance is heavy it's hard especially these days there is not too much freelance I mean this year I have done couple of Freelancers but not too much so it's a little bit more dry than before maybe people are afraid inflation and stuff like this who knows but there is something nickel I hope this channel will grow to at least half a million followers in the near future because it's the best 3D channel on YouTube some people think that some people know but maybe maybe if I continue working you know developing the channel and making streams making videos probably in about 10 years maybe we can read like 200 000 I mean there is not a huge potential in this especially if I keep it like 3D sculpting mostly if I expand it to like including Photoshop including substance painter more especially Photoshop probably more people will come but for now it's just 3D sculpting if you're not good at drawing you can build good 3D artist yes you can but it's uh you know again learning learning learning Nico what should I include in a good portfolio to get notice and against to do you should include a good character with good topology and nice textures that's what they seek they want you to do the whole thing they want to give you the concept and get a character which can be rigged and put into the game that's it seeing human skills and one body side gets boring I'm happy you make an animals and uh anthropomorphic creatures we need more non-human stuff but I'm not making too much anthromorphic creatures this one is completely human-like it's there is nothing animal into it as the head is of course a little bit more animal but yeah if you're not good at drawing yeah what are the best add-ons for sculpture in blender I don't use almost any add-ons the only add-on that I recommend it's paid A1 it's quadrimesh the other one is screencast keys to see my kids but this is just for me and blender kit is good one it's free and I use it in the in this course in the Assassin Crews I use blender kit to make the gold on her armor easier because I just drag it the gold material and it's there so that's one of the things I do even since I stopped using Dynamic topology my Scopes quantity improved yeah I love your videos I skilled professionally full-time freelance for Miniatures I have been thinking of trying to do work at games a bit is it possible to work as just a 3D model Sculptor it's definitely possible but you have to be very very good I mean if you are amazing in making high police but overall everything hi Paul I mean only Anatomy is good okay but you have to learn how to do the clothes and the armors and everything so if you can do a hyper like this for example then maybe there will be a company that will be willing to you know just give you high police and somebody from the company will do the Low Police and the other boring stuff the UVS and textures but usually a character artist should do all those things should be able to do it hello you're awesome I love I love people when they are uh saying that I mean you're awesome you're very good you're the best nikuyo the goatee or the Sheep you are the snake I love this I mean amazing it's very cool cello from Moscow tell good things to Russian people um no I don't know good things good words are we getting replaced by AI not in the near future I think how did they make Avatar in which software store realistic I mean Avatar was made I think the characters were made in zbrush obviously but uh then probably in Maya or other software they have their own softwares I don't know I think if you got a good editor and make the festive videos and choose very popular characters to sculpt you would get big fast probably but I don't have editors I just do my own videos and they are never edited I just you know do them in one cut per usual hello Nico it's Roman let's go bowling Island Bowling I don't do bowling too much I have done by the way some sometimes but not too much hey there your another skills are amazing yeah where do you get concept for scope I just find them in our station mostly thanks for the feedback super appreciated thank you you're amazing pimp problem I don't know why weather digital Allah Unity bought weather for two billions they worked on Avatar yeah how was the tender break it was pretty cool it was pretty cool what's your favorite model you create for Gameloft I'll bear many I should sometimes show them uh in stream probably uh the stuff that I have done for game of some of it if I get permission from I have to ask first I'm not working for Gameloft anymore but probably there could be an issue if I don't ask so I will ask and then I will probably do it I don't know what this means yeah Papa so uh yeah what what I was speaking to my wife she was passing by just here so yeah again if somebody is coming just now this is my latest course of course uh in the course it's it's with colors and everything here doesn't have too much coloring and everything but this is just I'm trying to make it good for 3D printing so I'm thickening some stuff I'm doing some other things not too much by the way most of the things I did in the course itself so you can see it and this is what we did in today's stream for almost two hours it's a shame I know it's it's super shameful but at least we have we have answered a lot of questions in the in the chat which is great hopefully you guys are happy about it this will be the useless the most useless stream probably but I was having fun hopefully you also had fun and what drawing tablet use one by Wacom you need to ask permission from a company to add something to a portfolio of course you always have to ask if you work for a company or you do freelance for a company and you sign NDA which is a known disclosure agreement you should always ask for permission and sometimes they will not give you the permission that's that happens a lot and you cannot put it in your portfolio so if you are doing something like a freelance you should always in the beginning ask can I use this in my portfolio before you tell them the price because for example if you cannot use this and you have spent like two months working on a very very highly very nice character and at the end you cannot show it then the price will be different then the price that you will tell them if you can't show it in the portfolio at least that's what I uh I don't do it anymore but I used to do that because when I was needing a portfolio nowadays I don't need a portfolio that much I have enough works and courses and everything some people know what I'm doing they don't they're not wondering what is his Works hmm nobody knows he doesn't show anything I don't know too many questions 10 days no practice sculpture not finished exactly exactly that's a problem hero you're working inspired me a lot thank you God bless you and your work wonderful family with happiness and success thank you very much uh probably you are from the Arabic countries I noticed that Arabic people always are saying they're wishing always good things for the family and for for everybody this is a common thing in Arabic countries in the Western countries we don't do that this that much uh I notice you know from the Arabic they do it a lot which is great I find it very nice cool the concept is AI generated the probably not the concept is from Justin Gerard and I will probably write it in the in the description of the video I just um chose this concept very quickly I just browsed our station for five minutes and I chose this concept and I started doing it so I didn't have time to properly write it in the description but I should What's Happening Here okay again come on yeah because I'm pressing the Windows key and then Q I should press the alt q but you know I cannot see the my keyboard especially this I have my keyboard because of my microphone it's just in the line of sight sometimes I have to watch position my fingers when I once I position the fingers it's fine but before that mistakes can be made as you can see maybe we can make the body a little bit smaller it will be nice to have the bigger head and for example we can go like this it's not good let's go like uh with shadow on the wall shadow on the wall cavity pilot cavity for this type of character is nice outline is good yeah it's not Ultra bad I mean if we uh if I haven't answered so much questions if I haven't been lazy for 10 days and now just returning and starting with the stream not with practice if I was warming up before that and everything probably we would have been we would be making more progress into this character like colors a little bit of a belt maybe or something but now that's it that's it unfortunately that's it uh we love unicorn makeup fingers heart please like this fingers heart hello Nick oh yellow shirt now ah nice yeah this is the yellow shirt Nico hey where are you working now nowhere I'm working in my home for no for nobody for myself just making courses for living and streams which I don't get money from but whatever when it comes to ringing is typos better than a pause to sculptor nah no nowadays nobody is making tipos only people who are don't know what they're doing are making typos usually we are making Apples because apples is much closer to the normal character movement in game tipos is too far away if your character will constantly be climbing and his hands will be up all the game yeah definitely t-post or even higher will be better to sculpting but if your character will be normal like soldier with a weapon that keeps his uh you know shoulders down like the arms down then a pose definitely no not higher than Apples because it will be awkward uh the pose of the character will should be as close as possible to the most common movement that he will do which usually is just walking with a weapon or just walking or just running or you know handing uh a gun not a gun but a sword and only when he swings he put his arms up but it's just for a fraction and it's not worth it to make him like this uh of the initial pose it's not have you ever met someone in the industry who started really late I'm well in my 30s and would like to get in the industry but sometimes I'm afraid I took the decision too late it's not too late usually the problem with people who are in 30s or above is they don't have the time to practice properly because they have families they have bills to pay and the people who start early they are students they don't have bills to pay they don't have taxes they don't have anything so they can study they have a lot of free time when they you're young you have free time when you are older sometimes you have money but if you have the money to live without working for one year or year and a half and you kind of focus yourself and work 10 hours or more every day without too much rest you have to be pretty crazy and you have to love this what you're doing but you will get good enough for uh for a game company for example this way but you have to have the money it's difficult does his skirt create tension against his stomach or does it just hang in this particular case uh the belt creates the tension I think and the skirt just hangs goodness of Poland nickel damn I miss how you're making big stomach I need to watch from start you can it's it will be in the channel amazing teacher to be honest there is no other teachers on the highest professional level like you with this great sense of humor that's helped a lot in the learning process much love from Russia oh the Russian again Brandon Jackson it's a very strange name for a Russian guy but yeah I'm not judging it's Brandon Jackson Brandon Jackson it's okay what drawing tablet use oh okay we answer this question why did you add donation on the stream uh I have donations there are I think I have in this channel I don't have let me see I think in the other channel I have donations on the stream but in this channel I don't have in this Channel or I have I don't know but in the other channel I have nuclear brilliant when it's too late what age probably around 70 75 will be a little bit too late because you know you will not live uh that long greetings Nico have you ever been in doubt what to do for the rest of your life in 3D with so many options like Tech art animation and no no no I have drawn uh I have spent my whole Young Life from since I can remember myself drawing people so it's absolutely normal for me to start doing characters because I love doing people and characters as a whole I don't like drawing trees or houses or whatever or even cars but I like doing people so this is the obvious thing for me have you ever tried the new Geo note hair system in Brandon not not but I will hi from Ukraine hello I don't see age mattering that much over 15 days or so of practice I was able to do a full body script it wasn't perfect but I got that far in 15 days of practice exactly if you continue you'll get better and better have you seen Nvidia pixel do you think it can replace artists at some point probably environment artists maybe but most likely the environment artists will use it as a tool to make things super fast but that's just my opinion don't worry about HH still I'm not founder of a gaming project all the time on the course I talked to Nico one day as we wanted to invite him to the team but he was busy so then I want to be a character artist I just finished my education in Greece in Greece there are no game companies at least couple of years ago there were no game companies in Greece which is strange I mean in Turkey I think they are in Bulgaria which are neighboring countries but in Greece no in Serbia there are gaming countries a lot of them I don't know what happened with Greece uh six months and then most of the companies want me for graphic design is it waste of time now graphic design is not a waste of time it's useful because I was graphic designer for a couple of years uh I my education is actually engineer designer so it's mostly graphic design it's not the West it's cool specially from Latin America countries yeah I bought courses from Nico and I did them to understand better 3D mechanics and Technical parts and I'm 43 I spend around 1 000 hours modeling and I was already on a good level yeah that's cool hi from Vietnam hello Vietnam if you have more time you will do very good it's just content practice go for it exactly half from Ukraine again it was three-part message sorry I can't tell okay yeah we in Croatia also have companies in gaming exactly all the Balkan countries have gaming companies Romania also have except for Greece maybe now they have I don't know but back in the days like maybe three four years ago they didn't have almost I think none and Greek people came into Bulgaria and other countries to work because they want we had a game designer from Greece we had a another game designers um he was a programmer or something but a couple of guys from Greece we had in our studio in Game of don't worry being truly I started the 26 on my own and at 28 I was working full time just be ready to invest a lot of time and learning exactly so guys thank you for watching next stream will be soon hopefully next week and uh we'll see what happens probably it will be in the other channel but whatever doesn't matter maybe this channel also we don't care right yeah it's cool but in the other channel we have the live section with a lot of streams there hopefully the next time I will sculpt more I will show you more nice things the result will be nicer hopefully this time it was just the fast uh thing and a lot of answering questions hopefully people are kind of finding this useful also or entertaining whatever it's cool is it harder to find a job as a 3D character artist than props artists or environment Arts I mean these days there are not too many works for character artists I don't see too many uh job offerings but I don't seek them sometimes I get job offerings from LinkedIn so you have to go to our station you have to go to LinkedIn you have to go to all channels to to just search especially if you're a good level for example like Mr Saku Pato Advocate avocado which is in our Discord server one of the better guys in the Discord server avocado he was banana but now I don't know what happened but there are also other guys that are pretty good so yeah join my Discord server it's the link in the description of this video hopefully it works I'm not sure if it works but uh yeah everything is the in the description is the the links to my courses the link to this chord link to everything is in the description of this video yeah yeah so you see even a guy uh is a guy from a company he's searching sometimes just looking in our station portfolios looking for a fit so yeah okay bye guys and see you in the next one or something like this
