This is my first attempt to sculpt an alien, using Blender and sculpting tools. I followed the Alien sculpting tutorial from "Alien Sculpting | Beginner Follow Along Tutorial | Easy | Blender 2.8" video of the Grant Abbitt Youtube Channel
Shortcuts:
- F for Brush Radius
- Shift + F for Brush Strength
- LMB -> Apply brush stroke
- Ctrl + LMB -> Apply reverse brush (Carving)
- Shift + LMB -> Smooth mesh
Check "Dyntopo" option, Detailing switch to "Constant Detail" and resolution to 15.
Resolution 15 is fine for the base mesh, then switch to 20 for more details. You crank it up even higher for more details.
Brushes used:
- Draw
- Clay Strips
- Inflate
- Crease
- Smooth
- Flatten
- Scrape
- Grab
- Snake Hook
To switch between objects, go to Layout, switch active object, go back into sculpt mode and now you can finally sculpt the selected object!
For the materials, a simple setup was used, with just the principled shader and roughness high or low, to make some materials more reflective.
