00:05.600 --> 00:08.193
Hello, I'm Julian Kasper and welcome

00:08.205 --> 00:10.880
to my workshop about speed sculpting.

00:11.500 --> 00:12.405
In these videos I

00:12.417 --> 00:13.765
will show you timelapse

00:13.777 --> 00:14.851
recordings of all of

00:14.863 --> 00:16.220
my recent speed sculpts

00:16.221 --> 00:17.530
while talking about

00:17.542 --> 00:19.350
things like my workflow,

00:19.362 --> 00:21.597
time saving methods and sculpting

00:21.609 --> 00:23.460
tips and tricks in Blender.

00:24.500 --> 00:25.665
If it's necessary I

00:25.677 --> 00:27.164
will also include some

00:27.176 --> 00:28.722
clips recorded afterwards

00:28.734 --> 00:29.980
to better showcase

00:29.981 --> 00:31.013
certain things but

00:31.025 --> 00:32.708
mostly I'll just stick with

00:32.720 --> 00:34.104
the timelapse recordings

00:34.116 --> 00:35.280
in the background.

00:36.560 --> 00:37.567
I'll also include a

00:37.579 --> 00:38.812
breakdown video of my

00:38.824 --> 00:39.948
recent lighting setup

00:39.960 --> 00:41.420
in Eevee that I presented

00:41.421 --> 00:42.893
all of these models

00:42.905 --> 00:44.858
with and I plan to make

00:44.870 --> 00:46.348
this workshop a bit

00:46.360 --> 00:48.400
more of an ongoing thing

00:48.401 --> 00:50.196
since there's so much I could talk

00:50.208 --> 00:52.480
about and a lot of footage that I gathered.

00:53.860 --> 00:55.428
So expect there to be more

00:55.440 --> 00:57.020
videos to come out soon.

00:57.780 --> 00:59.424
Also, the series of videos

00:59.436 --> 01:01.219
is mostly for intermediate

01:01.231 --> 01:03.322
users, so people who are already

01:03.334 --> 01:05.240
familiar with the software.

01:05.960 --> 01:07.099
I will explain some

01:07.111 --> 01:08.565
aspects and techniques

01:08.577 --> 01:10.027
of sculpting in Blender,

01:10.039 --> 01:11.380
but since explaining

01:11.381 --> 01:12.525
everything in detail

01:12.537 --> 01:13.750
for beginners would

01:13.762 --> 01:14.973
blow up the length of

01:14.985 --> 01:16.440
these videos, I decided

01:16.441 --> 01:18.516
to keep them a bit more focused

01:18.528 --> 01:21.020
on specific related topics instead.

01:22.240 --> 01:24.210
Also as a little tip while you're watching

01:24.222 --> 01:26.020
the videos, remember that you can slow

01:26.021 --> 01:27.494
down the video to see

01:27.506 --> 01:29.556
some parts of the timelapse

01:29.568 --> 01:30.971
in more detail since

01:30.983 --> 01:32.680
I sped them up to like

01:32.681 --> 01:35.187
six times of the speed or alternatively

01:35.199 --> 01:37.780
to just listen to me like I sound drunk.

01:38.720 --> 01:39.713
If you have any

01:39.725 --> 01:41.535
questions about something

01:41.547 --> 01:42.950
that I didn't explain

01:42.962 --> 01:44.580
very well or something

01:44.581 --> 01:46.387
else that you're curious about,

01:46.399 --> 01:48.100
just leave a comment below.

01:48.600 --> 01:51.378
But first off, for anyone who doesn't know

01:51.390 --> 01:54.180
what speed sculpting is, it's very similar

01:54.181 --> 01:56.395
to, for example, speed

01:56.407 --> 01:59.240
painting, where it's about

01:59.241 --> 01:59.710
finishing an artwork with

01:59.722 --> 02:00.241
a minimal amount of time.

02:00.900 --> 02:02.172
In this case, sculpting

02:02.184 --> 02:03.580
a model in one sitting.

02:04.060 --> 02:06.863
That's usually up to like

02:06.875 --> 02:10.140
six hours, but some also go

02:10.141 --> 02:11.139
above that for bigger goals

02:11.151 --> 02:12.160
or generally more Polish.

02:13.020 --> 02:14.935
But iterating or

02:14.947 --> 02:18.440
polishing on following days

02:18.441 --> 02:18.912
definitely defeats the

02:18.924 --> 02:19.560
purpose of speed sculpting.

02:20.260 --> 02:22.210
Think of it more like regular

02:22.222 --> 02:24.320
sketching, like line drawing.

02:24.820 --> 02:25.995
It's really about

02:26.007 --> 02:27.612
speed, efficiency and

02:27.624 --> 02:29.160
prioritizing, but also

02:29.172 --> 02:30.860
about experimentation,

02:31.020 --> 02:32.300
trying out new things.

02:33.020 --> 02:35.420
And before we really get started, I

02:35.432 --> 02:38.380
also want to add as a side note, I made all

02:38.381 --> 02:40.142
of these sculpts during an

02:40.154 --> 02:42.200
event called Sculpt January.

02:42.460 --> 02:44.230
It's a yearly online challenge

02:44.242 --> 02:46.380
and community similar to Inktober.

02:46.381 --> 02:48.075
So if you heard of that one, you

02:48.087 --> 02:50.380
might already know what this one's about.

02:50.880 --> 02:53.571
It's 31 days, 31 sculpts, a calendar

02:53.583 --> 02:56.140
of predefined topics for each day.

02:56.760 --> 02:59.070
I saw this as a pretty good opportunity

02:59.082 --> 03:00.940
to put my workflow to the test,

03:01.000 --> 03:03.038
experiment and see if I can learn

03:03.050 --> 03:04.980
a few new things along the way.

03:05.620 --> 03:07.763
And as you can see, I did

03:07.775 --> 03:10.360
all of it in the new version

03:10.440 --> 03:11.294
of Planet 2.80, which

03:11.306 --> 03:12.420
is currently in the beta.

03:13.120 --> 03:15.334
So let's show you how I

03:15.346 --> 03:17.960
made it through one month

03:17.961 --> 03:18.454
of sculpting each day

03:18.466 --> 03:19.140
and the techniques I used.

03:20.240 --> 03:21.817
The time lapse in the background

03:21.829 --> 03:23.220
is from my very first day.

03:23.640 --> 03:25.956
The topic was deep sea,

03:25.968 --> 03:28.600
but instead of going for

03:28.601 --> 03:30.837
something Lovecraftian or an

03:30.849 --> 03:33.740
anglerfish or something like that,

03:34.100 --> 03:35.960
I wanted to try out something different.

03:36.360 --> 03:38.481
Since I needed to make something

03:38.493 --> 03:40.760
very quick and rough, I thought,

03:40.761 --> 03:42.784
why not try to get something

03:42.796 --> 03:45.920
appealing out of some very simple shapes?

03:46.760 --> 03:48.050
The creature I was

03:48.062 --> 03:50.160
inspired by were sea slugs,

03:50.600 --> 03:52.680
which come in various colors and shapes.

03:53.700 --> 03:54.528
They seemed like a

03:54.540 --> 03:55.800
pretty good idea to start

03:55.801 --> 03:57.006
with, since it's a

03:57.018 --> 03:58.640
very inhuman creature.

03:59.400 --> 04:01.823
So it doesn't need much fine tuning

04:01.835 --> 04:04.540
to become familiar or anything, really.

04:05.220 --> 04:06.889
So this ended up as a good

04:06.901 --> 04:09.100
warm up exercise for this month.

04:09.101 --> 04:11.537
There are also a couple of add-ons that

04:11.549 --> 04:14.120
I was using during the sculpting process.

04:14.560 --> 04:16.373
They were mostly providing

04:16.385 --> 04:18.140
shortcuts to save time.

04:19.020 --> 04:20.408
Some of them didn't turn

04:20.420 --> 04:21.820
out to be that useful,

04:21.821 --> 04:23.025
but I had a list of

04:23.037 --> 04:24.700
them to experiment with.

04:25.140 --> 04:27.300
I can really encourage to do so as well.

04:27.440 --> 04:29.560
Just look up some sculpting add-ons,

04:29.572 --> 04:31.820
modeling add-ons or add-ons in general

04:31.821 --> 04:34.264
on the Internet, which are

04:34.276 --> 04:37.580
mostly also open source and free.

04:37.581 --> 04:39.669
You can just download them and experiment

04:39.681 --> 04:41.880
with them and see which one suits you best.

04:42.440 --> 04:43.947
They can be a real time saver

04:43.959 --> 04:45.740
and improve your workflow a lot.

04:46.480 --> 04:47.751
At the time, though, when

04:47.763 --> 04:49.200
I was doing these sculpts,

04:49.260 --> 04:51.721
there weren't many add-ons available,

04:51.733 --> 04:53.880
since the new version of Blender

04:53.881 --> 04:54.822
that I was using was

04:54.834 --> 04:56.120
still in its Alpha phase.

04:56.500 --> 04:57.592
So the underlying code

04:57.604 --> 04:58.960
was changing quite a lot.

05:00.480 --> 05:01.813
So mostly I was just

05:01.825 --> 05:03.640
using all of the features

05:03.641 --> 05:05.595
that were available in the

05:05.607 --> 05:07.800
default version of Blender.

05:09.540 --> 05:10.843
That's pretty much all I want

05:10.855 --> 05:12.260
to talk about for this video,

05:12.580 --> 05:13.811
since this is supposed to be

05:13.823 --> 05:15.420
more of like a quick introduction.

05:16.340 --> 05:17.768
In the coming videos, I'll talk

05:17.780 --> 05:19.360
more about my workflow in detail

05:19.361 --> 05:21.685
and some advice on how to be more

05:21.697 --> 05:24.240
effective at speed sculpting itself.

05:25.680 --> 05:27.307
Usually to combat the silence, I

05:27.319 --> 05:29.060
would use some background music,

05:29.061 --> 05:30.852
but for this series of tutorials,

05:30.864 --> 05:32.560
I'll just leave that up to you.

05:33.100 --> 05:34.658
I'll just keep the rest of the video

05:34.670 --> 05:36.580
playing, and I'll see you in the next video.
