Making an Einstein Inspired Character - Blender 3.3 - With New Hair System

Learn more about the ASUS ProArt Studiobook 16 OLED:

Here’s a tutorial about how I made this Einstein inspired crazy haired character. I go through the whole character creation process with lots of tips and tricks.

To Build this model I used the ASUS ProArt Studiobook 16 OLED laptop, powered by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and NVIDIA Studio Drivers who are both today's sponsors.

I really admire your ability to smoothly sneak in advertising into your videos. I really mean it! It works so well and there are not many content creators who are able to make it so seamlessly

[Josabooba]

Very nice Grant - good to see you back with something more substantial.

[philippelepilote]

[vinnypassmore]

Fantastic stuff, with a quality result, Great advert for yourself and Blender, thanks for sharing.

[musashidanmcgrath]

Great character. Your artwork has really improved in the last few years. Keep at it. Looking good. 👍

[terranplanetproductions]

Wow! What a great caricature.
By the way, I didn't know about the freebies over at ZBrush...that's really cool. Thanks for sharing that. Anything to save a buck these days, huh?
I love that Blender's sculpting program has been reworked so well. It wasn't always that way, as you may remember...I am impressed. Was think recently it would be a great idea to sculpt more and maybe even try to create a few character but ZBrush, as great as it is, well, I can't see dropping $40 a month to play around when money's tight.
Retopo was always another thing that brought me humbug but that Quad Remesher looks like it did pretty good job with just a click. With just a few tweaks around the mouth and couple other areas it would be ready for animation. Impressive.
