Can Blender be used for action figure modeling?

[Blazej_Jura (Błażej Jura)]

Blender is very powerful tool, but you need to know how to use it, here you find good chanel with tutorials how to sculpt figures in action mode:

Especially for making an action figure a pose tool isn’t really needed at all for this… and:

Blender is not Z-Brush… (and doesn’t use the 2.5D technic of it) but everybody is free to use anything more suited…

Blender 2.83 New Feature: Pose Brush and Face Sets

…and if it hurts… just stop doing it…

Hmm sorry i think you missed my point. I’ll be back later with pics or maybe video i’ll show you which feature that still lacks in blender.

[Okidoki]

Maybe i did… because there are other paid apps which do some things better… ( but some even can not survive on their own even if they are the industry standard…) but it changes not the usability of blender for the OP’s question… and i also think buying/renting Z-Brush especially for this to just try is a bit overkill…

And i don’t believe someone need this pose tool to make an A-,T- or X- pose which even fits best for an an action figure…

…and the OP is satiesfied with the answer…

Have you tried anothers softwares ? like 3d coat or mudbox ? if so what is your opnion about the best software for superhereos collectible ? apart Zbrush and Blender off course

[Musashidan (Danny McGrath)]

Yes, I’ve tried both 3DC and Mudbox. I haven’t enough experience with 3DC to say if it’s suitable for the high-end collectible work we’re talking about here. I have never pushed the limits of performance, but tool-wise it seems to have everything needed to do this sort of work.
Mudbox is more suited to displacement-based organic work. The features are quite limited for any sort of hard-surface beyond purely sculpted hard surface.
