The Multiresolution Modifier is Insane!!! - Blender 3

In this video I talk about how amazing the multiresolution modifier is and why its an important tool in the sculpting workflow.

Thanks to CG boost for pointing this out

I made yet another mistake in this video saying thousands instead of millions. 🤣

I love it when an expert admits a mistake. That’s the sign of a great teacher. Thanks Grant!

Hey, if you want to speed up the armature deformations make sure you keep it above your multires in the modifier stack, otherwise blender first has to subdivide the mesh x number of times THEN deform the mesh, which is super-intensive on the computation. Best to deform first then subdivide. Great video, btw. It confirmed a suspicion I had about the multires modifier but was too lazy to check out.

My recent favourite discovery with the multires modifier is how stupendously easy it is to create a normal map from your multires. It is one click now, "bake from multires" !! I have a character with around 10 million faces on the highest level that I now can animate on the lowest level with armature but having almost the same detail level visually thanks to the normal map. It is honestly blowing my mind a little :)

You can fix the length of an online video in the YouTube studio’s editor 😉
Great video as always!

Keep the mistakes coming, man. Your content is consistently the most helpful I’ve found. Thanks for putting in so much work.

Good to see the Multires modifier getting some more love. I prefer it to the other setups for sculpting. Thanks Grant.

[StevenDiLeo]

Cool way of looking at the multi res! I'll definitely be playing with this, thanks Grant! 🤩

[TeeTekTrab]

I had to say this. Excellent video and I admire your humility! I hope to emulate your humbleness and I think we're all better off with more of that. Thank you for creating these incredibly valuable videos.

Grant, Your tutorials are fantastic! I've been using Blender for the past 5 years and I love it .
I redesigned Uncle Giggles foyer ( Flintstones) with Blender and I'm in awe with it's render quality. Cheers!

[Tecboy]

AMAZING!! Thank you for the sharing. Always look forward to your videos.

[mariabr]

you are an amazing teacher Grant; leveling up our knowledge one video at a time! ;D

[denizkudayar]

thank you, Grant, this was a really important detail with the Multires modifier that affects a lot of things in the workflow. And thx CGBoost!

This is an old tip that I forgot about so its good to catch your video. Another old performance tip that may have been solved some time ago but was a real issue before is to make sure you have outline selected turned OFF. Outline selected causes/caused a series amount of mesh redraw.

This is truly insane. I just baked a normal map from my multires modifier and it worked like a dream. I am using this from now on; no more remeshing for me.

[MRUStudios]

I've been using the multiresolution modifier just the other day and then Grant Abbitt comes in clutch with an excellent video so I can learn even more about it! 😃

Thanks so much Grant! I'm really looking forward to checking this out!

Thank you so much for all that you do! 😃

Wow, multimillion vertex sculpting in Blender now! Grant and CGBoost, THANK YOU! I remember the days of Blender hanging up with 150 k vertices.

[kaziaoualwanis]

I use it for adding tertiary details on charachters, because of the awsome bake normal from multires, super fast non destructive sculpting on a retopologized model, it can be very uselful !

[chouaibseghair]

what great content you have, hope to learn a lot from you teacher

[The_Toonimator]

Thanks Grant and CGBoost. Excellent tip. I've stayed away from Blender sculpting. Now i may look at it again. "No mistakes just happy accidents". We're always learning. Happens to all of us. Sign of getting older....or staring at the computer too long. Need a vacay. 🏖😉
