Finally a tutorial on masking that doesn't assume I already know what masking means, and actually uses an example that is realistic to what a beginner would do

[doko]

This "paint the shape you want, then invert the mask" technique is brilliant. Thanks for sharing

I've been looking for sculpting mask brush tutorials for a couple of days and found some good tutorials, but not quite what I needed. Then, Ryan appeared and, as always, it was EXACTLY what I was looking for. You're a godsend, man! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

This tutorial of you're is really helping a lot of new 3D artist like me hope you never stop making this video in the future

[setonisatomi]

Finally, this is the best tutorial I have seen. Much thanks!

I just watched your 100k subscribers video and I must say you deserve it. Love your tutorials and they helped me so much through my 3D journey. Congrats Ryan, God bless you!

I see there are more than just me who use GNU/Linux systems for art. Great tutorial, man! I'm loving Blender. It's a whole lot of fun to work with.

[NicoleSummer]

Thanks for the clear and easy understanding explanation !👍🙏🏻💪

[ZOMBIEHEADSHOTKILLER]

wow, i wish i knew about both the mask tool, and the dynotopo setting, earlier, would have been super defiantly going to be using this in the future.

Hi sir Ryan you are my favourite teacher ❤️ I love you, I'm from Pakistan 🇵🇰

[leonrose]

Thank you for this tutorial, I can see this being very useful :)

[MsRedNebulaPlays]

Great video, thank you! One thing I was trying to find that you didn't cover was how to apply the mask only to front faces; mine kept showing up on the opposite side of my mesh too. Under the Brush dropdown, tick the "Front Faces Only" option. Figured I'd pass that along in case anyone else needed it!

[JuanFernandez-tibv]

thank you Sir for sharing your knowledge in such a didactic way making everything clear while going straight to the topic, +like and keep it up.

[TimmJKD]

Thank you very much. This was just what i needed in my Blender adventure now.

[slacknhash]

I was following a different tutorial that required me to use the mask tool to add some inscriptions to an axehead. Couldn't get it to work. Figured I should step back a bit and look at the mask tool itself so I'd at least know what it was I couldn't do.

So while I still can't get it to work, I at least understand the problem better now. Thanks!

[heiro]

Thank you. Another very helpful rundown.

I'm wondering if it's possible to set masks from selected faces.

[ProDMiner]

tysfm! Ive been wondering this for sometime, and seen tutorials were there is heads being scultped, and always seen that dark mask, and realized thats exactly what it was, a "mask"! Also, the dyno topo thing thats what ive been trying to figure out as well, but did njot know how people turned it on. never seen it done, it was like people had it turned on as blender loaded up.

[abhirutmeherishi]

awesome! can you cover the mask and facesets menu on the top bar next Please!

[PIY.]

You can use multiresolution instead of subvision for great performance while sculpting

[mosspath]

This at least makes me a little less overwhelmed, thank you. Trying to resculpt an old Gamecube model to use as a 3D Print. I wanted to sculpt some of the details that were originally made through texturing, but I've been struggling like crazy just to get the sculpt tools to do what I want lol
Half barely do anything, and tools like Clay, that are supposed to "add on" in fact cave the model inwards. Masking should hopefully help a lot, the only issue is I can't really see what I've masked lol
