Hey, I'm too broke for all fancy paid tutorials (40 bucks is like a salary for 20 hours of in retail/service work here), so I really really appreciate the free information and lessons put out by you out here. Thank you.

[jarmadax]

YES for more Blender sculpting tutorials! Also it would be nice to see a tutorial on what happens after the sculpting phase - like normal map baking and texturing. In Blender of course.

This is way better than any other tutorial some people go so fast and don’t talk as much good work

23:30 just hover over the object you want to sculpt on and press D (new with 2.93 now) and it will switch - no nasty outliner searching and clicking needed :)

This is incredibly informative!
I just downloaded Blender yesterday, eager to get started, and was immediately swamped by my lack of knowledge of the program. I've never worked with anything like this in my life
Thankfully, a freind recommended this video to me, and I am already learning so much.
Thanks for putting this together, I'm going to have this opened in a tab along with the blender program while I learn.

I hadn’t sculpted in blender in a while and this was an amazing refresher. Thank you!

23:07 Also you can use hot keys: In sculpt mode, hover over the model you want to sculpt and press alt+Q

I never watch ads, but this is the BEST intro to sculpting in Blender on Youtube, hands down. So I deactivated my adblocker just for this video, might not be much, but I hope it helps you guys at FN. I'll definitely be looking at purchasing courses soon! Thank you so much!

I like that you guys do your research and actually learn a new software before teaching it. Most learn the basics and then they teach it as "Sculpting in blender FOR BEGINNERS"

[dunkley]

That "A" key sculpting mask short cut is godly! Thank you!

[lemonpowder]

These videos are always appreciated. Thank you guys very much!
Do you think you guys need to make a new, updated version of the Blender vs ZBrush video from over a year ago?

Great Tutorial - i learned more about Blender in this video than i have in years./ great instructions.

Instead of Ctrl+tab to access the pie menu there is an option in the settings that allows you to access various pie menus by holding their respective hotkey e.g hold tab (and move your mouse) to access the mode select pie menu; hold z to access the view mode pie menu; hold ` (tilde/grave) to access the view axes pie menu. I find it rather useful to have on.

You can find it in Edit > Preferences > Keymap > Preferences > Pie Menu on Drag

[sunnymaryann]

This is the first sculpting tutorial that has NOT filled me with existential dread. After watching this, I am able to convince myself that there is a tiny, tiny chance that I might be able to sculpt in Blender.

[neilgooge]

To change objects in sculpt mode, In blender 2.93, pressing D while hovering over the object you want to sculpt on now works...

Great little video.
