Mike T Artworks: Thundercats! - Mike Thompson - ZBrush 2021.6

hey what is up everybody how's he how's everybody doing how are you all doing let me type this in [Music] all right turn this down i feel like it might be loud it's probably probably loud hold on one sec oops all right what is up everyone um my name is mike thompson and i am here to make stuff in zbrush and show you guys the process you know what i'm talking about i like to sculpt things and uh and get paid for it all right what's up so um i'm going to start off by showing you a little sizzle reel thing for a second um i'm working on an anti-venom uh gum road that i have been talking about and i was supposed to release it it got pushed back because the editing has taken longer than i thought but i do have a little teaser thing let me show you real quick so let me just pause the music and make this big and then i'll get into the uh i'll get into today's stream after that all right but here it is let me know if you can hear it i think you can hear it let's turn this up oh there it is so just a little short little teaser thing for you guys little sizzle reel um if you haven't already uh you can uh you can order it now it's going to be out soon i've been saying that for a minute but uh i promise you this time it will be all right so let's get into what we're doing today uh i think no audio ah that's a bummer the audio's dope all right sorry guys i'll figure it out and do it later um but anyway uh yeah so i have been working on this lino in the stylist league with uh with danny if you don't know about stylist league we're on youtube every friday we stream and um this this is the uh this is kind of like uh what we were working on he's working on skeletor i'm working on lino and we worked on the whole process online so you can see us every friday night and we're starting something new this week i think or we might just be doing the renders i don't know but we're going to be on uh it's gumroad stylistly just do a search for stylist sleep oh right let's get into this lion-o i was gonna start a cyclops but i'm not quite done with this guy so i think hey thanks uh khan um i think what i'm gonna do neil what's up nil uh what i'm gonna do is keep kind of plugging away at this guy right because normally i would continue to detail his hair is looking kind of weird right now he's got kind of like a bouffant hairdo and the hands aren't joined to his arms because i wasn't sure that i want to do that with his hands i don't know what i want to do with his hands yet um but i might try some different stuff with you guys today so let's not waste any time i'm gonna get into it and uh and keep going let's turn the music back on it's boring without it put my chat back over here so you can see what everybody's saying hope you guys are all well what's up i am trending must be nice i am not trending all right so i think i'm gonna figure out this hair real quick let's get my uh let's get my pure ref together say lion-o lion-o here it is not hearing the music wait is it still you're still not hearing the music let me know should be back you sure are trending what's up smorgas lord still no music what the heck man hmm hold on settings audio desktop default do this one apply okay all right how about now let me know music no no music well if there's no music this is going to suck was there ever music did you guys ever hear any music because uh obs is is acting real wild for me right now no hold on a second desktop audio oh yeah see that okay i'm gonna fix this hold on let's see settings as everybody runs out of the room it's always something man and i'll tell you what happened today windows had an update and then nvidia had an update and everything stopped working desktop audio oh desktop audio let me know if you can hear anything new volume mixer you are very polite good all right excellent all right so maybe at the end of this thing i'll show the video the little teaser thing with music because it's much better with music all right it's boring without hope everybody is doing well where is my lion oh ref so i got a lot of is this it yeah this is it i think i want to do with this hair man nice all right good to go so just know that i have a whole grip of lino reference on my other screen so if i look at the other screen that's what i'm looking at like lion faces and stuff uh do you ever merge all your sub tools and if so at what point do you do that merge them um i mean i i clean them up so my sculpting process is kind of like my uh it's kind of like my um painting process right when i'm doing the illustrations so what'll happen nine times out of ten is i'll make a whole bunch of uh layers but as i'm working on them i'll start to flatten them down and uh and then i don't you know have just like a ridiculous amount of uh clutter that makes sense i want to get a little texture here and i'll figure it out later i think if you guys checked out my bishop video uh you saw the in process where i was like adding the high frequency detail on his hair this is this is how i started all that it's basically like insert tubes hair tubes and then um and then kind of detail them and just figure out where they need to be i just realized i have 59 videos this is going to be my 60th video for uh pixel logic so that's like an anniversary for me that's a lot that's a lot of content you guys if you haven't seen it i have everything on my youtube i would love for you to subscribe to me there and i have a pixel logic zbrush live um playlist and you can see all of my videos there so hey what's up peters animation and if you haven't already go to youtube and subscribe to stylus league um and you can see danny williams point pusher and i working on new projects every week along with our good friend bradley good time [Music] exactly your horns [Music] thanks make believe tv it is a lot of content it's a lot it's a lot of content all for the low low price of free so the way i see it is this you can pay it forward and kind of absorb all that free content and then if you want to go over to my gum road and pick up the anti-venom you know i would appreciate that that'd be nice [Music] way i can continue to keep making content for you guys so right now he's looking very much like uh he has ice cream cones for her hair like we're gonna make this look a little more air-like as soon as i get this overall shape because right now i'm not loving the overall shape of this big puffy piece here i'm gonna split off the uh the mutton chops to make those their own thing i think so yeah let's do that mouse or pen tab 100 stylus stylus absolutely stylish for the stylist league you guys do you learn classical sculpting so i do so it's funny because i used to mess around with uh with um sculpey and like super sculpey that was the extent of it and then i started getting into um digital sculpting and a lot of the same process that i use here applies to you know real world real world sculpting so then i got into monster clay and now i really enjoy messing around with monster clay actually like how versatile it is all right so i'm just gonna group these two mutton chop pieces and i think i'm gonna split those off from the rest of them [Music] saw split hidden split hidden all right and then close holes on this guy [Music] and like i said this whole thing like we have the entire process of him um and danny's uh skeletor on our youtube so you can watch that we even record in between show sessions and you guys can see the things that we work on when we're not in the live stream using sculptures pro kind of clean up this edge here i'm gonna hide it in the hair i can have it as two separate groups i think yes [Music] all right let's see um any advice is for someone who's new to zbrush yeah go through all of the zbrush classroom videos on the pixel logic site that's a great place to start and then you can start watching videos on youtube this is how i learned i ended up joining some uh some groups and um and hanging out with people who were using zbrush already who were able to kind of help me figure out things i didn't know that's really good and of course the zbrush lives are a fantastic way to uh to just kind of see the process you know and and and uh by my anti-venom by all means that's uh it's probably the best way for you to learn anything is to pick up my pick up my video there's plenty of free content too these pieces are they on their own thing oh no they're not all right let's split those off too hidden close holes on this thing save first all right thanks the review one night lemon what's up uh firmness of monster clay i get the um what is the medium one the the regular like not the firm i want to try the firm actually but i found that the regular one does a pretty good job i don't have a good salt how do you pose manually you're using meyer blender for that um i am posing in here with transpose master yup [Music] thank you thanks vincent so i always give a shout out when anybody says anything about my posing like all respect goes to my friend brad gropeman who is an animator and a good friend of mine a gentleman and a scholar that's one of the guys um he and tony gore are a couple of guys i met early on in my dealings with zbrush and they've just taught me so much about uh maya and stuff like that but uh brad is um he's helped me out a lot with with uh posing he's a rigger and animator and he does like a really dope job at it so shout out to to be groovin you guys if you're not already give them a follow what's up foles start sculpting stuff cool how do you get into this as a career trying to get her figuring me so you um you do a lot of it and then you just kind of uh you just promote the crap out of it so i had been trying to um [Music] get sideshow's attention for a number of years and uh you know at the time it wasn't really it wasn't time for me yet like i still had a lot to learn i thought i was done you know i thought it was ready but um let me know if this music is loud because it's kind of loud to me let me turn it down um so yeah i was trying to reach out to sideshow i was kind of not getting uh the call back and uh after a few years i guess i did something that they liked because now i'm doing stuff for them so you know all things in time i guess is the what i would say but yeah practice practice practice get you 10 000 hours let's turn on his chest arm [Music] so so the thing about this guy is danny and i only really had three weeks to figure it out like that's the whole thing about stylist league is we have to get it done within the theme so our first theme was 80s cartoons he chose he-man and uh you know skeletor i ended up choosing thundercats lionel and then you know the the the timer starts so we did we did what we got done and it was a great learning process you know i think the whole reason that we decided to uh to get together and we always wanted to do a stream together because i'm danny is dope um so i've always wanted to do something with him and uh and the idea of this is we have all these pieces that are unfinished in our portfolio you know it's one thing with clients to get stuff done because you don't have a choice but when it comes to doing stuff for yourself like i have an entire folder full of pieces that are almost done and i just put them down and forget about them um so that's kind of why we uh decided to do the show and in three weeks i mean i'm pretty proud of what we got done it's been a month now who am i kidding i'm not gonna lie but for a month i'm not upset with progress on this guy [Music] also his chest is covered i don't know why i'm doing this it's going to be completely covered with his uh armor just in time not even gonna do it you guys i'm gonna concentrate on his arms all right let's see what i missed here now teach me [Music] what do you do if you feel like you're progressing and improving slow um i think listen if we're being honest otto i think that's all of us i don't know a whole lot of people who progress quickly um and i think it's everybody is kind of at their own rate but it's it's how much time you put into something you know so um for me i was always a slow sculptor that's part of the reason why i'm excited about stylist league is because i get to you know i don't have the luxury of time on these we have to go and then when our time is up we have to move on to the next uh to the next subject and so um that's just what it is and i've always taken a long time to get my stuff done i've gotten faster but that's just because i'm doing more of it and i'm improving so that's i think how you get over that hurdle of just moving slow [Music] i'm an illustrator first i started as an illustrator and that's still kind of my main gig um but uh i had this thing right like when i was younger and in college i couldn't uh i couldn't paint faces i couldn't get likenesses and it really bothered me you know like i felt like i'm never going to be able to to be in this kind of career have this career because i couldn't you know i couldn't paint likenesses and i just practice and practice and like one day i woke up and i could do it so you know it sounds kind of corny but i wanted it and i practiced until i figured it out and you know i've made a pretty good career of painting likenesses words of the dude on the water boy just do it just do it right where can i find good challenges or exercise time management my weakness is slow now uh i think i want to say that there is a site dedicated to that type of work um i feel like somebody told me one time about this this site where they have like very clear-cut time constraints and you got to get this thing done by you know this amount of time and then keep it moving i don't know what that is if anybody has else has heard of that let me know maybe i it's like a fever dream i just made it up but um if you know if you're talking about sculpting join us on you know on our show on friday on the stylist league and sculpt along with us i know we have some regulars um mj sculpts is one of them and got a bunch of guys in here now that have been in uh quite a few and they're working on their stuff as we're working on ours you know so um that's one way to do it i don't have any reference opened up right now but i kind of done enough arms that i'm pretty confident just kind of knocking in some of these forms a little better oh you know what i should reach apologize this because i don't have a lower version i don't think yeah i don't all right this is dynamesh so let's get this done maybe i'll put the arms on or the hands on too i want me to move all right let's see did i miss theory what's up lucas thank you what's going on jefferson fine how are you yeah absolutely medical illustrator it's great being a small project so deadline so to speak it's hard to give myself a deadline yeah um i mean i would just make up deadlines for yourself and and try to adhere to one hell of an incentive is when you have people watching you and uh make a podcast or stream rather because when you say hey i gotta be done on this date and you're not done it's uh it's not a good look so 3v1 make a make your own stream that's how you do it you go for a full-time job field which would you go for which field would you go for i probably would want to do something in uh don't know oh you know what that's a good question i don't think i would want to be a full-time artist anywhere i like being a freelancer because uh i work on all my favorite stuff you know like i could be doing something for nike one day or painting kanye you know um and then the next day i can be sculpting something for you know a company so i kind of like kind of like being freelance what's up andrew how many hours do you work in a day for a project this size uh this is a month's worth of work not every day like this is our friday jam so we have a two-hour stream on friday and outside of that i think i probably put in maybe another 10 hours so a little quick math uh what's uh 2 times 4 is 8 plus 10 what are we talking about 18 hours almost 20 hours uh okay somebody said the goat is back i'm sorry that color is like blending into my thing i can't read it thank you thank you thank you thank you what's playing right now i probably missed the song sorry yeah it's real old i'm fine siren how are you uh what are you thinking of the new version of zbrush i like it i like it a lot in fact i was thinking about doing um cyclops today and so uh i was gonna do some stuff with it i might break halfway through if you guys remind me and just start something but um yeah i like it actually thick skin is dope i like it a lot gotta stay hungry yes sir yeah so stylist league is the show i do with danny if you go to youtube and do a search for stylist league we have to have a hundred what is it if uh if my producer's in here let them know for some reason we can't just do youtube stylist league yet we have to have um a month worth of content we might have it now let me see something real quick let's check it out though see nope not yet yeah so they're strict about uh how many hours you have and how many custom not customers subscribers you have and all that so just do a search on on uh youtube with stylus league and uh and give us a subscribe bennett what's up braddock hello neil yo hey what's up scopes take the finish do you guys start with mesh or a pose yeah so i've only done a few things for uh for sideshow but um what they'll do is they'll provide a um some concept art sometimes and or most of the time i guess and then we use our own base mesh and kind of just try to make it happen i'm going to remash these arms [Music] and i'm probably only going to use the right one and duplicate it i don't know why i just move that over [Music] i like to break symmetry early you guys just so you know and um and that causes more work for me but it's more practice too so i think that it's really helped me with my anatomy having to do things twice and sometimes today is thursday yeah no no my my stream with uh danny is tomorrow it's on fridays so usually i'll do a zbrush live on thursday and then the next day i do um stylist league that's my personal thing you can just follow me on my youtube it's uh above and uh and then you can get links to um style of sleep meta human creator no but you know what danny has shown me some really cool stuff with his uh he he sent me let me show you this thing that danny did yesterday it's pretty dope let's see it's disturbing and very very cool at the same time so this is point pusher messing around with uh with metahuman creator i thought that was cool really like cyclops all right all right maybe i'll do that freelance for sideshow yeah absolutely so i have done um i got some stuff that's i can't talk about yet but i have done this piece oh so i did a 2d piece and i got some 3d stuff coming out too but a little odb for you guys that was my first ever sideshows [Music] what happened it didn't do it let's do this i'm just going to check the topology integrity check seems okay over here deadlines the deadlines are pretty um they're pretty generous actually i was expecting them to be way more harsh but they're pretty nice i'm used to really fast turn times with my 2d stuff so um you know i uh i don't mind [Music] that's good i like that all right i'm going to use that and then i will make some groups here some polygroups i think i'm just going to do one and then some bearing weld [Music] i want to try to get a continuous loop that and um be nice to have one on this side i don't know if i too yeah probably not and then that way when i bend it'll just be a little easier [Music] [Music] do [Music] oh let's do this see what happens when i actually start working i i lose track of the chat so i apologize that's the other reason why it's great to come into my personal stream on friday because uh bradley makes sure everything gets answered streaming next thank you streaming it's nice it reminds me of us it's helper do you have a twitch yes i do it should be above mike t2k thank you man you guys are you guys are too kind what motherboard do i have i have a um oris [Music] uh it's the oris something it's a good one hope that helps and then i also have um a ryzen it's a ryzen system but i have a 5900 uh x is the um is the is the um the chip i have can't talk so good you guys sorry about that all right um i'm gonna project real quick i can't read and do this at the same time so i'm gonna work real quick and then i'll come back and answer some questions reject history yes okay let's polish by groups i want to try to clean up these lines a little bit that's too much just a little okay now project history excellent i should be able to bend that elbow a little better even though that is probably a little all right let's do this do that i want to chop this right on the elbow so i'm going to use my slice skirt that way if i have to bend it'll be nice and clean all right good enough okay let's bring back this project now i will z remesh one more time see what happens there you go clean baby keep it clean i'm saying now project history all right let's do a mirror in weld oh wrong side uh mirror and weld and get at him my cat is like trying to get some attention okay but before i move that arm what i'm going to do is project back all my detail so let's do that i will divide do some projecting project divide project by project that's probably all the detail i had before yeah i didn't have a whole lot more i'll give myself one more division now mirror oh cam you're involved with the divisions that is okay because i'm going to get rid of the other arm delete delete hidden i gotta step down to the lowest sub w okay step up all right and now what i can do is i can just duplicate this piece this arm rather and go under my uh z plug-in let's get the chat out of the way to subtle master and i want a mirror just mirror onto let's append a new center all right cool so now this other arm i have one two i don't need this one delete yes it's okay and now i can uh position this other arm in the right place [Music] but you know what hold on a second the whole reason i did this was so i could have symmetry while i sculpt so let's sculpt it up a little more and then i'll move it into place how about that i want to add something that has one sub tool come up here let's delete this solo [Music] mirror merge into one yes [Music] seems yeah that's fine okay okay cool all right so now i can just kind of work on my uh anatomy a bit here [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] all right let's see what i missed yeah odb was uh wooten uh south park was the inspiration nice stevens inspiration to folks is just bored train nice thank you thank you thanks guys [Music] thank you sessions excellent okay good i didn't miss that [Music] much i have better arm reference than this i thought let's do that let's see trap jaw i think and while i'm doing that it probably would help if i had the whole sculpture up so if you're new or coming in after i started you can see what i have going on here do a screen cap [Music] this [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] oh uh just so you guys know the topic of the next session of uh stylist league videos we're going to be reimagining a video game character so do me a favor and uh if you can go to the stylist league youtube in our last show from friday and comment on who you want us to do um and we'll be happy to uh consider that trying to figure out who we want to work on but we definitely would like some feedback as to who you guys want to see if you put it in here that's great but i'm not going to see it for tomorrow so it helps if you go over to uh go over to stylist leave and leave the info here there after after the stream is over [Music] today [Music] i have this reference here too looking at this guy help me [Music] [Music] [Music] i need to switch it up too i've been doing a lot of like really roided out guys lately um i think it's time to add some women to the mix or like really thin dudes with uh you know really kind of runner type bodies that's cool because you still have the musculature but it's like a lot less beefy it's good practice i'll probably do that too and just so you know on the other screen i have like some echo shade reference i'm looking at just to give you an idea what's going on in addition to my actual crochet sitting next to me get this pointed the wrong way and by stepping down in my geometry like this i'm able to kind of get these major forms without having to uh have a whole lot of um you know wobbly surfaces so i can just kind of get the general shape and then step up in detail as as i need to [Music] oh [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] oh [Music] that's what i was talking about so i just tried to make a move it's a lot easier when i stepped down in the sub-d levels like a large large shift and then step back up for detail [Music] [Music] [Music] all right so i think that's good enough for now what i'll do is i will just um fix the uh placement of the other arm and then take it back over to the main character here [Music] you know what hold up i'm gonna try something i always have problems with posable symmetry let's see if i can get some posable symmetry going on first and then move it that would be the smart thing to do now let's see i don't even use possible symmetry [Music] activate symmetry transform back with symmetry use posable see if this works don't crash baby i haven't saved in forever all right let's see what i miss working all those big guns um is there a drawing tablet that has ram and so on that has a screen and does not need a pc right yeah yeah absolutely so i have um i have a mobile studio pro by wacom which is an all-in-one it's the whole computer in the tablet uh you can like that is your uh option for that uh wild e coyote super genius um so check out wacom for that no so meta human creator is i mean i guess people are using that for animation stuff like that i don't think it's gonna replace zbrush hey marquette um it's just another tool in the tool bag you know thanks andy thanks nittany monty love to learn 3ds max 2 is there a live session for that maya i'm sure there is i don't know where it is though but i'm sure somebody knows yeah yeah maker league tv just kind of answered what i just said too nice mark page design thank you very much got a pre-order for the uh for the venom all right let's do this i'm gonna pause for a second and i'm gonna show the video with sound it's much more impressive with sound you guys this is a wheel where is it oh no don't don't do that all right bear with me a second look at this [Music] going [Music] from here okay all right so here it is with um here it is with the music you guys oh [Music] all right there you go hopefully that one had music so that's what i have on my gum road you guys and it's the whole process it's like sorry i saw that wow bounce up high let's see brad goldman scrollman is in here all right so brad i was just shouting you out a little earlier i don't know if you were in here totally was giving you all the credit for my poses my book my friend oh i want to say that posable symmetry works now all right let's try something hopefully it should have it let's see i've never been able to get posable symmetry to work let's see if it works now transform use posable symmetry let me see something let's try it posable symmetry i'm going to do it thinking about it yeah forearms are very difficult to like that whole bundle of of muscles is hard for me to keep track of eva oh yeah good references for anatomy i talk about this all the time but uh in fact one of the sections one of the uh little segments in the uh stylist league on friday nights is what's good and we always talk about things that we like so i went into detail about videos and books that i like but where did my fbs go there yeah but this is a great one strength training anatomy is one of my favorites you can find that on amazon and then this is a must-have anatomy for sculptors is a good one and then of course if you can get a hold of some packages to have on your desk these are great too so i just started painting one that's why she looks like that plenty of good anatomy you guys alright uh oh did i freeze this model updating while you're sculpting sculpt yeah but i think i might have just froze you guys really people are putting meta-human models in their in their portfolio that's that's not good there's ml creative that's my producer you guys he keeps things running smoothly on friday nights me hi what's up man mihai is awesome okay good all right let's see if it works now because i can never get this thing to work let's try it so i'm gonna take this out of symmetry let's see what happens go down here then let's see i don't think it's going to work you guys look at that does not work why wait a minute yeah why is posable symmetry never work for me what am i doing wrong somebody tell me hey bradley exactly um am i doing wrong somebody tell me why why can't i would love to use posable symmetry i can never get it to work it's in symmetry i go to transform i click on posable symmetry let's do it one more time and then it thinks about it because i don't even have the option to delete posable symmetry so it's not saving it danny i was showing your uh your guy in here a little while ago point pushes in here you guys those models the way to show split black ground close holes are very helpful thanks nice you're welcome mr andy danny tell me what i'm doing wrong disposable symmetry dude why can't i get this to work here oh no don't do that is it because local is on let me check yeah you never use i know i know i don't know anybody that uses it but everybody tells me it works great if i don't crash i'm gonna turn off local and see if that makes a difference oh while that's happening here let me show you see if anybody is wondering what's up with my hulk i have the legs finally kind of the bottom part is done i'm going to be getting the top together so i can pour this bad boy but look at the scale it's freaking huge so right now i have the legs almost done upper body i have poured i have the head is uh ready here right i've actually made cast of that and the hand also one of the hands is done so this hulk is going to be a thing promise you that all right let's see oh no wait what why okay oh [Music] all right let me try turning off local see if that does anything i'm gonna do this too i will duplicate this i'm gonna clone it and turn down the subd levels let's see if that moves it faster so i'll delete higher delete higher then you have subdivision levels and use posable symmetry see plug in turn off local wait it is off all right use posable symmetry come on baby [Applause] [Music] thanks camilo oh try hitting it on the lowest subdivision all right let me try that [Music] didn't do it let me step down i'm gonna get this thing you guys all right step down to lowest lowest and now let's try it transform local is off transform use posable symmetry it says zero symmetry points found symmetry map was not stored so maybe um delete higher delete higher mirror and weld okay now these should be the same thing so transform use posable symmetry then zero symmetry points found symmetry not stored all right i give up i don't think that this actually works for anyone i think that it's a myth you guys posable symmetry solves this by using symmetry based on your topology topology must be symmetrical across one axis it is symmetrical though all right let's do this and check it out x delete hidden mirror and weld all right this is absolutely symmetrical activate symmetry use possible symmetry nope maybe you have to turn off activates no you can't all right whatever man i give up it's your geo look at your wire frame they are one-to-one men bradley don't get me started dude something happened now i can't bring up my wireframe either whatever i'm gonna go back to doing my thing i'm not gonna spend the whole damn stream trying to figure this out do it the old-fashioned way one arm at a time [Music] [Music] now my thing is just i think i'm at the restart zbrush something weird is happening now i'm disappearing when i move stuff [Music] [Music] bring these arms over to the other one let me save this i'm going to restart zbrush because something something crazy is happening clear the canvas first oh maybe that has something to do with it yeah j murphy might have a point there uh all right let me restart zbrush don't save maybe i'll do a quick save all right second time's a charm okay i'm gonna try this okay go to lowest sub d hit posable symmetry then go up the sub d hit x for symmetry all right let me try i'm going to try this see if hoover's got it uh clone go down to mirror and weld mirror oh [Music] listen if i can figure this out it's going to save me so much time and effort in the future so i'm gonna figure this out with you guys how about that all right delete lower on this one okay now let's get rid of this arm delete hidden over here delete higher and delete hidden you know the wrong arm delete hidden all right cool so now i can project this back so first i will uh mirror and weld and mirror and weld all right and then i'll project the details back to the lower so reject divide project by project divide eject all right [Music] try hoover's thing after you go to the sub d hit posable symmetry again and x should work all right so go to lowest subdivision level and then um [Music] transform oops transform activate symmetry use posable symmetry yeah it's not working dude never give up never surrender i'm about to give up and i am about to surrender as well thanks ella alexandra alexander alejandro um [Music] yeah all right so let's try it with a dude hold on let's get a guy demo soldier for the win um all right we're gonna try it with this guy all right activate posable symmetry fully worked now i can move one arm let's try it probably got polymers yeah all right now let's see if it works symmetry on look at that yeah it has to be one thing it's gonna be one thing all right whatever thanks everyone we figured it out [Music] lights got all screen all right so [Music] this gauntlet a little tighter [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] fingers [Music] [Music] oh [Music] all of these [Music] [Music] [Music] turn on uh let's just turn on the sculptures pro so i can get some more topology on here [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] i just want some flyaways on here that's going to make it feel a little more like um fur and less like just a big solid chunk [Music] hmm [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] oh and because i'm gonna print this at some point i don't want the points to be too fine because they'll just break [Music] thicken them up and then i can reposition the whole thing [Music] um [Music] all right i know he has some jewels on his hands kind of like the infinity gauntlet so let's get those two i'm gonna call this uh tux [Music] duplicate and make a to make a cylinder find it [Music] he has three of them [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Applause] right so that's close enough i don't know everything bottom and let's auto glue these so now they shouldn't oh not those well yeah and i can select okay um so now i want to detail these a little bit get some uh some more interesting shapes than just the um just the cylinder i think what i'll do is inset let's first get these caps isolated it's my uh okay i'm gonna isolate the box so now if i give this a little thickness with the q mesh i'll throw a ball then i can uh i can come back and get a bevel and not have to worry about the fact that this isn't you know the right topology to normally get in here so let's just uh insert here and here i won't have a bevel i could have just used the beveled tool also but i'm just going to do it this way then i will inset the cap just so i have a something to push down on here so i'll do it again and now i can uh go to extrude push these in and uh i don't want to slide down this edge a little bit and that's going to give me a bevel on the inside all right and then i can just do some creasing and i should be able to hold these forms so uh increase i'm gonna turn down the uh crease level two i don't want 15. like two should be good resolve this oops [Music] it's the bottom two just to hold it all right then uh we should get something cleaner so now i can put some gems up in here wow is [Music] i think i have some insert uh gems that i got from somewhere like xmd or one of those joints [Music] gems and diamonds [Music] word let's go to [Music] i don't see the cut i want though maybe this one oh dynamics turned on uh so let's do this off dynamic get a different color the other ones are just like i don't like these other ones either [Music] let's try these are these the same thing no they're not let's try this and i'll use a different mag cap maybe a gummy uh let's do [Music] hey hannah sorry i haven't answered the chat at all hey what's up cinna how you doing good to see you too thanos 500 100 get out of the way let's try this again i want maybe wet eyes and uh the other one this one oh wait there's more but wait there's more there's a whole lot of stuff here all right cool shout out to the xmd guy i bought this a long time ago and have never used it i knew it would come in handy one day that'll do all right split hidden or split um unmasked split on mast yes i want to apply i don't think i want that one i wanted i want the gel one where is it crazy it's not what's hair look like oh hair is kind of dope [Music] [Music] metal all right i'm not i promise you i'm not going to spend forever on this i just want to find maybe gel shader that's the one i want right there let's apply the material in the color color split on [Music] now i can go back to my other one there you go ah that's what i'm talking about you guys that's the one all right now i just copy and paste working smart not hard so [Music] [Music] come back up here turn back on my dynamic subdivision boom that looks good still kind of boring though let's do something but it just did but i don't like that maybe let's go back to my z modeler give this thing some more definition because right now it's a little little blah insert an edge here [Music] a poly group by poly loop why they're not doing it poly group high poly loop that's what i want blue blue and now cue mesh out some thickness ash there's oh i only want this bottom part though all right so let's do this i'm gonna get rid of this this and this and then i'll pop again now i can keep that you mesh that and let's give this a bevel this time i'll do the bevel the way that you guys are probably used to singing it just pull the bevel up there there my buddy jerry also known as uh what's he calling himself um i can't remember jerry's name um sorry i can't remember jerry's name on his handle online the guy that does box cutter um sorry jerry i hope you forgot what um he always tells me the bevels are better everything looks better for the devil [Music] master zeon thank you damn danny [Music] okay this is why you got to tune in to the stylist league because i forget things and either danny or bradley will help remember stuff there you go now dynamic that's a little bit better let's give this some color uh maybe a little metal maybe [Music] better all right let's turn on the stuff shall we now we got the blinged out claw [Music] oh that's what it used to look like that's not the right one [Music] chest armor all right oh you know what i got a alpha for the thundercats logo maybe we can put that on and his hand looks oh you know what because i didn't heat the arm the arm should have some poly paint on it actually i did have a hole cut out of his uh like a abdomen window on his thing that's why there's paint on his uh chest [Music] i decided not to go with it i want to add make sure my head is turned off and i just want color oops turn off sculpture wait my mic is muted no can you guys hear me that would be terrible if you could hear me wait you have to hear me because danny answered the question don't do that man it's almost as bad as me having the camera on the wrong screen for the whole screen [Music] thanks parker thank you vanna excellent [Music] [Music] arms [Music] why is it not doing it [Music] nice [Music] oh maybe it's it works that was weird [Music] i think it's time to get this hand on here because i've been putting it off long enough also should probably make it fit the sword a little better so let's do that let's do that all right guys if you aren't already do me a favor subscribe to stylist league on youtube if you like what you see [Music] email all night put the link in the chat my friend subscribe you can get more of this on friday nights with danny and myself and bradley is also making sure that we answer all the questions and staying on topic so please like share subscribe to the stylist league [Music] i just don't love that arm there man like i mean it's alright but it's not exciting let's do this [Music] uh let's do this screenshot okay he's trolling us he can hear you perfectly nice biceps look small i don't want to look too beefy don't want to be too beefy uh yeah no pinterest everything for me uh just so you guys know is uh is at mike t artworks except for my youtube and that's at my tr work without the k without the s right so everything else is mighty artwork i'm gonna take this dude no don't save okay let's figure out what we want to do with this because let's get on my nerves here let's see r right second r there it is but i don't want both of them come on man x i haven't used mannequins in a while okay there you go this down and the foot is broken there you go that sphere bear with me you guys this is important i'm going to print this guy i want him to be the most epic lionel i can have on my desk i don't want to have to look at him and be like man i should have done this to the arms because the arms are not good holding it across his chest how about that okay where did i miss uh fast question you're not planning to put a tail on them no no tail no tail uh what kind of things do you suggest to sculpt to start learning zbrush um you know i don't know uh i i started with faces just because you can turn on symmetry and start to kind of mess around and they always look terrible at first all right i'm going to show you guys something real quick because this is i actually this is part of the introduction of my my video um somewhere yeah all right cool so check it out you guys just so you know like the hulk on my screen is where i am now literally six years ago this is what i thought like hulk looked like and this is i thought i was killing it like i really you couldn't tell me i was not the greatest zbrush guy ever right so when you start more likely than not you're going to really suck um unless you sculpt you know outside of the computer um but yeah so just so you know this is what my stuff looked like in 2016 i think right boom look at that killed it hulk has never looked worse [Music] are you going over the shoulder nah so what i'm thinking is he's holding it maybe like he's holding it in front of him i don't know let's see let's make a little mock sword in cube right [Music] not that long that's a big sword that's where i need brad groping you guys brad would figure this thing out so quickly yeah i don't know this is stupid [Music] something like this oh hey anton what's up in france still looks good those also yeah so maybe maybe he's holding it like that and then looking sight beyond sight you know what i did that and it completely obscures his face that is that is cool though i do like that idea if you don't know what this uh cartoon is you guys you might be too young it's dope and um lino would hold the sword up in front of them and look through the little curly parts and get sight beyond sight you could look through and see all kinds of cool stuff through these parts right here on the hill so yeah maybe if i take the sword let's do this i'm going to uh my perspective turned on yeah i do also my light is screwed up again and it gave me the madcap gray i don't want the background that crap game great i want the matte mic color mics [Music] my light is all messed up light there almost oh there's a back all right so maybe this sword is if i'm looking at the other one tool lose the floor or just like a million little pieces that's the only thing [Music] visible [Music] oh don't let me forget i got to put the logo on his belt and on the sword let's do the sword first how about that i can do one on here [Music] load my alpha [Music] again this is one of those things we're having it in symmetry and straight up and down would be way easier [Music] [Music] all right i think i want to use thick skin on this uh gym so let's divide it a couple times maybe three times all right and turn on thick skin okay now let's try to uh see if i can get that eye in there standard drag ripped i probably don't want drag right because i'll never line it up but let's try it and then alpha is this should have color and subtract [Music] yeah all right but it's wrong flip horizontal i'll probably because i'm heading the wrong direction and it's not it's just doing color too cut off the color for now i just hit subtract [Music] beer [Music] oh oh my gosh all right let's try it again color and i want subtract it does work let me turn on focal shift let's turn that down there you go all right 12 times the charm you guys and i'm sure if i had this divided a couple more times it would be even cleaner which it is all right cool so that's what i want this may just not have enough geometry to it oh [Music] [Music] [Music] now because this is gel you can kind of see through it so this might be a problem i might have to just split this thing and do it twice [Music] or i could just have it facing that direction this looks like a job for my space mouse it's time for the space mouse you guys see if i can get this to come on baby i've been practicing oh bradley what you know about it boom space mouse boy uh alpha slip it again click horizontal now come on let's try to line it up [Music] close enough that'll do [Music] okay um and then let's put it on his belt too because that'll look cool divide this a few times and i wouldn't mind having some more depth to it because i don't think that's deep enough i want this to show up when i print it and uh maybe i had thick skin turtle turned off that's probably why i'm sure that's why it's going the wrong way close much better chest arms legs space that's low you know what it is it's that circle around it ah i'm gonna erase that circle i don't like the circle it's making me put it too low i'm using zbrush commands in photoshop now forget it i'm trying to use sorry for the custom you guys not the way i'm just gonna erase this thing just racing save as logo two [Music] apple import give it another try i think i need to flip it do i yeah inverse and [Music] are you listening close close enough uh what if he held the blade down like a knife fighter or latest parallel performer that actually sounds kind of cool i had something like that where he was holding it back um let's do the thing where i i'm gonna merge the uh merge visible on everything on the sword and then i can play around system let's go to sword and merge visible okay uh nah i'm gonna believe [Music] everything else turned on [Music] there you go [Music] i'm gonna eye of thundera back in there huh and i will let's get some color while we're at it it's looking very boring right now let's try uh no matter where i hit this it always goes under the chat um what about z metal no first i'm going to pick something i don't mind losing then i'm going to go to my materials and i'll grab a nice metal unlike what i have right now that's cool all right i'll take that um let's apply it oh material not color rather and then go back to my thing there you go now that's a sword baby now we'll merge the sword down push down with the eye yes all right cool so now i can play around with where it is so before i move it let's do this i will duplicate and turn it on this one here so i was thinking maybe like have it in front of him and then the swords down but i don't know uh that hand's gonna have to move that arm will have to move [Music] will be [Music] that's cj from san andreas i'm staying away from uh i'm gonna stay away from all gta only because hussein diva has done it way better than i ever will so i'm not touching gta it's redone all of the grand theft auto [Music] guys [Music] and i'm totally gonna have to be kind of [Music] right the only thing about this is it hides the eye and that's kind of like the best part of this thing no i think oops but that feels more dynamic already now if that arm was like this in front of them that might be kind of cool and if it was in front of him you'd probably be able to see the eye right it's because i'm playing with these arms duplicate them up oh damn actually he looks kind of good like this wait a minute wait a minute you guys let's everybody let's let's all calm down a second here this actually looks kind of cool who told me to put the arm like that the sword like that because you get a shout out where was that uh mj sculpts i should have known i should know do that's a good call thank you [Music] he has been i think on every single stylus league i think he has been every stylus league friday night before that he was in the mic drop friend of the show mj sculpts his fingers gonna have to be sculpted clearly but this okay um what's the setting for the lighting i have two lights here so if we go to the lights i have the front light is kind of off into the left a little bit right and then i have a rim light which is behind him and i turn it up and uh it's over the right shoulder so this is usually how i how i light stuff i might move it around a little bit but this is kind of what i'm doing is that the dude that makes the sword grow that is the dude that makes the sword grow correct what if you tried a more shaggy chill pose um i want him to feel kind of regal since he's the lord of the thundercats so i feel like i don't want him to be too chill so i'll have a version that has like the old school and the uh the shorty shorts and then i'll have a version where he's got on the kind of the tunic thing that's as easy as just printing out the weights uh twice what did i i want to turn that light down second that's actually kind of dope um i think i might keep it like this thank you mj hair still needs work but for now and i might even pitch the sword up a little closer to his arm all right so the hand is gonna have to move clearly i don't know um so i'll probably keep messing around with this until i get it i want it but i like the idea of it being kind of like hell this way something like that like yeah i got the sword but i'm not only about the sword i do other stuff turn back on i think he looks better with the uh with the tunic thing on too so let's turn that on actually all right so that'll do let's see um lionel looking great by the way thanks mish robot yeah well you know it i want it to look like he's holding it so yeah rotate it on the green set down maybe booty shorts yeah he's got some blue shirts lionel's got his booty shorts unlocked i guess it's hot and thunderous or earth too i think what are they on earth too i think so i'm not a fan of the one-piece bathing suit nice how did you change your crosshair into that if you're talking about my brush it's just something that happens whenever i stream oh yeah cyclops all right i got a half an hour left i can start messing with the cyclops let's do a quick render a couple renders want shadow turned up the rays and um shadow blur [Music] and i'm going to need that secondary light probably too oh my goodness oh i i hit ao i don't want anyone uh don't want to [Music] ah crap i hit something that screwed it up so i'm going to save the tool and then i'll just restart do save start [Music] and parker said yeah boy um i actually really want to do a doctor doom um i started an mf doom but it was more stylized but i want to do a realistic doctor doom i like villains too i just haven't done a whole bunch of um i did do a i did an omega red [Music] [Music] aha this is what happens when you don't um so i'm not gonna lie that orange sword looks awesome i wouldn't mind having that orange sword something about that looks cool to me [Music] um this is what happens when you uh use a material that's not in your shell when you restart if you don't save it as a z project you lose it so let's go back to metals [Music] [Music] titanium ain't too much that's the one so i'm going to bake that into the sword hide the there you go i might change the material on this on this eye now because it's a little dark to me it's just regular [Music] let's do this fill with flat i don't know only only the eye okay now let's see what it looks like it's something else about reflective red nope oh so now let's do a quick render and i can start some cycles cyclips cycle pops again you didn't come here for my wordsmith skills skull stuff [Music] zoom out um [Music] [Music] doom split it uh the head is split off of the body just because i like to have a little higher um polygon count to detail a little more all right so that's cool layer let's move the layers down here so this is what i normally do just to kind of have a an image to give to kyle so now you can post it on youtube but um i'll bake that and then create a new one and then i can you know have the back view like this and i can see things that need to be fixed i'll do a draw over or something let's do a render like this let's do a detail [Music] give it some perspective [Music] all right [Music] oh no daniel bell has a doctor doom coming out oh i guess i'm not doing dog i would have done doctor dylan i'm sure his will be a thousand times better than mine [Music] uh let's take this [Music] delete yes create it's too dark let's try one more time [Music] so [Music] now when i finally figure out what i'm gonna do with the hand i'll i'll just um i'll kind of camouflage it in the forearm i was gonna merge it but i'll just end up chopping it off to uh to cut and key it anyway so i'll probably just make it so that the fur goes over the uh the hand a little bit and then hide a key in there and um and then i can print the hand with the sword as a piece and the arm is the center piece okay yeah that's not bad all right i can live with this so then let's make this uh actual size document export call this latest oh um let's do one other thing i'm going to actual and uh document let's make a green screen so i can get this background isolated and actual export [Music] latest [Music] screen [Music] boom all right copy and paste all right so now i can just go in and i can mask out the background completely and i can put a gradient in and it looks a little better normally when i post up on facebook or something this is kind of how i do it uh and profit all right uh cyclops got about 15 minutes to get started on them let's do it let's do it you guys to hell what are we even doing here we're not doing cyclops in 15 minutes i know one thing it is hot in here turn the air on probably yes clear yes let's get the background off of this obnoxious color start with uh start with a demo shoulder why not like oh yeah i don't like his apology that's why we're not using the demo soldier nope also look at this guy's butt you guys that's not attractive at all whoever sculpted this demo soldier why'd you make his butt look like that it's not even cool we're tough on this guy all right we're not gonna use that guy we'll use nick's humans uh just a heads up this he's anatomically correct so it's all the adults here delete the things we don't need [Music] so i don't usually i have my own base base meshes but um i i just don't i'm going to use this one for that so let's clear up there uh these layers all right make all yes delete delete and close holds all right this guy's got better topo so i'll deal with him and um he's alright again if you get that anti-venom i believe i use this guy and i take him from looking like this to making him look like [Music] this right here so um [Music] the whole process the whole deal i actually smooth them all out re-sculpt all of the anatomy go in there and go hard on the on the arms and all that and it's all so that it will eventually look like the cards that i made for uh marvel's upper deck um ultimate spider-man cards so yeah that's uh that's for sale right now if you uh so you can go there and pick it up not out yet but it will be coming out soon i'll usually work with perspective you [Music] [Music] so backlash reference oh no put too much stuff open so i think i'm gonna go with the jim lee cyclops um i've seen some cool designs on gumroad and stuff like that and there's a bunch of really amazing sculpts i'm trying not to look at those because they already look great and i'll probably be like subconsciously i'll make mine look like that i don't want to do that he's kind of been done to death like wolverine but uh i'm gonna try give it the old college try you guys so all right hey chris i never freeze what's up dude same pixel all ready for the stylus league yes sir tomorrow night stylist league gonna be doing it up big my friend now he looks a little more chunky cyclops isn't huge but he's no like little tiny dude either so just give him a little bit of mass and then i can start kind of sculpting let's see how many subdivision levels no all right so divide them once and then start doing a little bit sculpting on here so i have uh like seven minutes left not a lot of time but i will continue to maybe work on this next time uh again if you guys want to see the whole process on that lino go subscribe to stylist league and uh on youtube and you can see from the base mesh to where it is today we even have danny and i both did some uh time lapse videos of his skeletor and my lino between the shows so um you know that's kind of what we want to do to set our our thing apart from everybody else is we want to show you the whole process you know um of a to b or z depending upon how long the process is sometimes it's a short process but uh yeah you can see it there [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] do and just to rough in stuff i don't you know spend a whole lot of time looking at reference but i will later on to to get things right for now i just kind of i know where most of the stuff should go [Music] um if there's any questions that i missed in here you guys want answered um you know check me out tomorrow on uh on stylus league and uh i'm happy to answer it if there's stuff that you know is you have questions that pertain more to someone who's in a pipeline that deals with animation and uh you know more more up danny's alley then um you know you can hit him up danny has been in video games he's been with dreamworks he's currently at netflix animation there's no reason why you shouldn't want to come in and check out what we're up to giving you all kinds of information and uh it's 100 free so come on check this out [Music] just kind of scribing in these muscles are gonna fall and then i'll you know fix them later so they're actually right right now this is kind of loose loosey goosey as we say in the in the hood where i am not from pretty sure that's what the kids are using [Music] [Music] so that's kind of it for the day you [Music] guys it's gonna be what i call it if you uh if you stuck around for the whole thing thank you very much you get to get the dedicated friend and follower award and if you gave me a follow on my youtube and gave stylistly a subscribe on theirs there's ours um then that's even better or the person that was in here got my anti-venom today shout out to you um i appreciate your support and uh working hard on giving you the best content i can so i think that's probably a pretty good place to call it uh mike and murdock what's good i'm sculpting along with it nice all right excellent excellent what stylist league what is stylist league go to youtube and uh do a search for stylist league [Music] not like that with a e stylist league um yeah we still have to have like i think you gotta have 30 days until they give us the youtube slash stylus league but it'll pop right up if you go to my youtube my t
