my 2.43 RC1 sculpt test

hi evryone,

just trying this awesome sculpt tool in blender, i made it from a simple uvsphere

but still dunno how to work with the ear, i cannot make itu grow smoothly, anyone can give me a hint ???

It’s because it’s a sphere, its native normals are straight away from the center. Though it’s fantastic what you can do with a single sphere, if you’re working on a mesh to finish it in the future, it’s best to start with a basic head topology shape with rough features (eyes, ears, etc) and work from there.

Considering you can do all that from just a UV sphere I’d say you don’t have to really put in mesh detail from the base mesh. In fact you can make the shape boxy if you want then round it and flesh it out in sculpt mode.

but still dunno how to work with the ear, i cannot make itu grow smoothly, anyone can give me a hint ???

Better base mesh or more verts, sorry.

Maybe use retopo to get some good topology, then build an ear normally (at least the start of one), and sculpt from there. Also gives you a great base for animating.

Hey that looks pretty good. You should chack mine out here

I started with a cube and it gre into this. It was supposed to be some sort of meteor and I ended up with that thing.

Sculpt mode is great. What I suggest you do for the ears is to draw them and and then refine them using the brushes, thats how I worked on my head. It looks great though. I’m going to try one that starts from a base mesh instead, see how far get. :slight_smile:

thx for the comment guys :slight_smile:
