Grab pulls or pushes certain aspects of your sculpture to change it's shape. Then there is Grab, which is my personal favourite tool.
Beside that is Flatten, which, like it's name, flattens the surface of your sculpture where you need it. The next row down starts with Draw, which creates a raised ridge. Next to that are Scale and Rotate, which are pretty self explanatory click and drag parts of your sculpture to make them larger or smaller, or to twist them. Starting in the top left corner of the tools, there's Crease, which pushes a line into your sculpture. I've also included an image with the more important tools labeled for you. You can turn symmetry on and off using the button in the frame options. This is the line of symmetry, meaning whatever changes you make to one side of the sculpture is duplicated symmetrically on the other. You may notice a semitransparent white line down the middle of your sphere. Along the top of the window is the brush and material settings. Towards the bottom on the left are your navigational options, as well as the undo button (but Ctrl+Z works just as well if that's what you're used to). In the first image I've added, I've made a labeled version of what you see when you launch Sculptris.Īlong the top left side of the window are your tools, frame options, and file options.
Now, don't get overwhelmed by all those tools and buttons and sliders staring you right in the face, they're actually quite simple. Once it's started up, after downloading and installation, Sculptris will open to a generic grey sphere. How to use these tools to create a 3D model of a 2D character The ins and outs of the main tools and functions in Sculptris If you just want to make it up as you go, that's fine too! They're totally sold-their-soul good.īefore we start sculpting though, it's a good idea to have 2D sketches of your character, from a variety of angles, just as a starting point.

There you can download the full program for no cost to you, and learn all about some of the tools and functions in the program I won't get around to covering in this Instructable. As in download, install, badaboom, badabing, you're ready to go. Plus-seriously, this is important, or else I wouldn't bold it, this ain't no hopscotch, I DON'T PLAY NO GAMES- it's 100% free. It's also safe, don't worry about any kind of malware or viruses.
It won't take long for you to get a feel for how things work, and learning the ropes doesn't even feel like work, because it's so fun to goof around with the settings and tools. Made by the same guys that made Zbrush, another awesome, but slightly more advanced 3D sculpting program, Sculptris uses instinctively simple tools and a clean design layout to make even the freshest little soon-to-be sculpt-master comfortable. Once you've sculpted a bust, you can turn it at any angle, and BOOM SHAZOOM, you've got a reference that will always be on model.įirst off let me sing some praise for this sweet software. Which might not be a problem to some people, but for those who need to stay on model (keep a character or thing looking the same continuously), be it for a comic, animation, or what ever else tickles your creative fancy, using a simple program like Sculptris can mean a world of difference. All I have is a slightly artistic inclination.Whether art is your career, a hobby, or something you tried and promptly decided was too frustrating (I feel you there man), we've all been there: You've drawn something, and goshdarndit, you'll be danged if you can't recreate it. I have no modeling experience or official certification. To get an idea of how easy it is to use, I will use the example of myself.
It also has a very simple interface which (Imo) is more attuned to organic shapes and models. It uses a dynamic tessellation of the model's vertices to give you easy smooth surfaces.

Sculptris is a 3D Modeling software that is:ģ) Somewhat powerful (not as powerful as retail products like 3DS Max, Maya or Zbrush though) It uses a really simple but powerful interface to give awesome results. For those who don't want to read: Sculptris is a really intuitive, easy to use 3D model editor/maker.
