My first try at Sculptris

DavidBradbury

Hey everyone, found out about Sculptris today and thought I would try it out. Messed with ZBrush a long time ago but never got a hang of it - this on the other hand was much easier to work with. This is my first real attempt at 'sculpting' something using the program.

Any critique would be much appreciated!

Not bad for what is basically a first sculpt. The thing that immediately jumps out at me is that jumps out at me is that his cheeks are concave rather than convex, which is to say they're sucked in. The bottom of the nose has a bit of a sharp angle to it.

I would suggest taking a reference like this one and just go back and forth correcting where needed.

Good luck and keep at it.

Agreed, not bad for a first try.

I'd suggest nailing down the planes of the face first. Not sure how Scultris works, but try starting with lower subdivisions and getting the basic shapes before moving into adding more detail.

Keep it up, you can only get better from here

After trying ZBrush I'd say that the only thing that it's missing from Sculptris are the subdiv levels, but if it had subdiv levels it wouldn't be Sculptris anymore. Sculptris adds geometry dynamically as you sculpt where you need it, so blocking out general shapes is a bit hard at the beggining.

David, maybe you could try using the Reduce brush until you get just enough geometry to block out a basic head with the Grab brush, then use the Subdivide All tool and add detail from there. When blocking out shapes you could also try sliding the Detail slider from your brush down to 0, maybe it'd help.

Thanks for the crits and tips so far

Added some better eyes and changed a bit.

Ok, yeah, getting there. Don't be afraid to really shift things around and just make major changes to your sculpt. As long as you have a saved copy of the previous version you can only improve.

Taking your advice! Here is another one I'm working on, about 30 minutes in so far.
