0:00:00.076,0:00:03.136
>> The new sculpting tools in[br]Blender 4.3 are looking really good.

0:00:03.136,0:00:06.836
So I'm going to quickly take you through[br]some of the changes with a quick start guide.

0:00:06.996,0:00:10.106
So in Blender 4.3, I've got[br]my default cube selected.

0:00:10.316,0:00:12.446
I'm going to go across to[br]the sculpting workspace.

0:00:12.656,0:00:14.716
You can see my screencast[br]keys down the corner here.

0:00:14.816,0:00:17.406
And instantly, you'll see the[br]interface has changed slightly

0:00:17.406,0:00:21.456
with our brushes now along the bottom here,[br]instead of along the left-hand side here.

0:00:21.716,0:00:23.246
If you're completely new[br]to sculpting in Blender,

0:00:23.506,0:00:25.626
you'll find that you won't be[br]able to sculpt on your cube.

0:00:25.816,0:00:28.746
That's because it hasn't got[br]enough topology or faces.

0:00:28.926,0:00:31.586
Sculpting will only affect the vertices.

0:00:31.586,0:00:34.886
So I can sculpt on this bit here,[br]and you can see it just about moving.

0:00:35.086,0:00:36.776
We need to add vertices to this.

0:00:37.186,0:00:39.786
The simplest way to do that[br]is using the re-mesh option

0:00:39.786,0:00:41.716
at the top here, and that's in the same place.

0:00:41.716,0:00:43.706
And under this menu, the[br]two things you need to know

0:00:43.706,0:00:46.746
about are voxel size and[br]the re-mesh button there.

0:00:46.826,0:00:48.966
And both those have keyboard shortcuts.

0:00:49.136,0:00:52.706
If you press R, you'll get the voxel size,[br]and it's much easier to see it like this.

0:00:52.766,0:00:55.406
You can see the size of the[br]faces that I'm going to create.

0:00:55.406,0:00:59.276
And I'll go down to something[br]like 0.04 and left click.

0:00:59.496,0:01:01.006
So that set the voxel size.

0:01:01.006,0:01:03.766
And you can see up here,[br]we're roughly around 0.04.

0:01:03.926,0:01:06.896
And the re-mesh button, the[br]shortcut for that is Ctrl R.

0:01:07.146,0:01:09.106
So you can see it's slightly changed there.

0:01:09.106,0:01:11.986
And if I start drawing now,[br]you can see those faces there.

0:01:12.136,0:01:17.236
So R to set the face or voxel size[br]and Ctrl R to actually do the re-mesh.

0:01:17.426,0:01:19.166
You've got your radius and strength up here.

0:01:19.426,0:01:23.686
You can change those with F for[br]radius and Shift F for strength.

0:01:24.046,0:01:26.286
You've also got your brush[br]settings down the side here

0:01:26.286,0:01:28.786
under the active tool and workspace settings.

0:01:28.896,0:01:31.356
You've also got your symmetry[br]options at the top here,

0:01:31.436,0:01:33.826
and you can enable your symmetry[br]for symmetrical objects.

0:01:33.986,0:01:36.726
So for anybody new to sculpting,[br]that is the quick start guide.

0:01:36.876,0:01:40.106
And you can now have a play with the brushes,[br]which are all listed along the bottom.

0:01:40.176,0:01:42.076
And that, of course, is the big change.

0:01:42.076,0:01:46.386
All your brushes are down the bottom here,[br]and these brushes are actually assets.

0:01:46.496,0:01:49.746
There's a big advantage to this, and[br]that's that you can import brushes.

0:01:49.986,0:01:52.196
So if you've seen a wonderful[br]brush pack somewhere,

0:01:52.196,0:01:54.306
you can download those and import them.

0:01:54.306,0:01:57.526
And you can create your own and[br]save them into this asset shelf.

0:01:57.726,0:01:59.106
There are a few new brushes.

0:01:59.106,0:02:00.086
I won't go over those.

0:02:00.086,0:02:01.356
I'll save that for another video.

0:02:01.436,0:02:06.906
But you can use your scroll wheel to wheel[br]through the menu here, or you can expand this

0:02:06.906,0:02:11.836
out and make it bigger, and you can change[br]the size or the display settings just here.

0:02:11.956,0:02:13.806
I think something like 32 works well.

0:02:14.096,0:02:18.016
You can, of course, include the names if you[br]haven't got an oversized interface like I have.

0:02:18.166,0:02:19.236
So I'll hide those for the moment.

0:02:19.296,0:02:22.376
And you can choose to hide[br]or show certain groups.

0:02:22.486,0:02:26.166
So the paint brushes, for example,[br]could be here, simulation brushes,

0:02:26.166,0:02:27.846
all those sort of cloth things and so forth.

0:02:27.846,0:02:29.166
Add and subtract.

0:02:29.246,0:02:32.886
And then the general has the[br]extra push and pull ones as well.

0:02:33.046,0:02:34.256
I'll keep that on all for now.

0:02:34.256,0:02:38.436
On the very side here, you have[br]the actual asset library tools.

0:02:38.626,0:02:41.526
So you can find different brushes[br]from different libraries and so forth.

0:02:41.806,0:02:45.086
See my video on asset libraries[br]for more information on that.

0:02:45.216,0:02:48.206
That's only something you have to worry[br]about if you're actually importing brushes.

0:02:48.416,0:02:50.916
If you create a new brush for[br]yourself, you can save it here

0:02:50.916,0:02:52.546
and it will always appear[br]when you open up Blender.

0:02:52.706,0:02:53.846
So let's do exactly that.

0:02:54.006,0:02:58.376
Generally speaking, you'll probably always[br]use the draw brush to create new brushes from.

0:02:58.566,0:02:59.996
So I'll right-click on that.

0:02:59.996,0:03:02.606
And we've got an option of duplicate asset.

0:03:02.606,0:03:03.506
We can give this a name.

0:03:03.506,0:03:05.266
I'll call this rock brush.

0:03:05.666,0:03:08.116
And you can see it's going to[br]save it to my user library.

0:03:08.476,0:03:09.546
So I can press save.

0:03:09.866,0:03:13.676
And you can see I've now got the draw[br]brush here and my rock brush here.

0:03:13.846,0:03:17.866
So on this rock brush, if I make some[br]changes, let's say add a texture to this.

0:03:18.286,0:03:20.376
So under the texture, I'll click new.

0:03:20.376,0:03:22.196
Unfortunately, we can't change[br]the texture in here.

0:03:22.196,0:03:26.146
We have to go to the texture properties[br]here and then open up an image.

0:03:26.146,0:03:27.516
So I'll press open here.

0:03:27.716,0:03:31.166
Go across to my brush folder and[br]choose one of my rock brushes

0:03:31.166,0:03:32.566
that I've downloaded from somewhere.

0:03:32.826,0:03:34.116
Let's take rock seven here.

0:03:34.436,0:03:35.056
Open that up.

0:03:35.226,0:03:37.346
And then I can start drawing with this.

0:03:37.346,0:03:39.486
And you can see it's not doing[br]a great job at the moment.

0:03:39.536,0:03:42.146
I'd probably want to go back[br]to my brush settings.

0:03:42.626,0:03:44.226
And you can see the texture pop in there.

0:03:44.676,0:03:45.646
I'll minimize that.

0:03:45.806,0:03:49.396
And under the stroke method, I can[br]change this to something like anchored

0:03:49.566,0:03:51.106
and it comes out with this texture here.

0:03:51.196,0:03:52.696
However, it's not looking great.

0:03:52.996,0:03:57.996
So I'll add a few more faces by pressing R for[br]the re-mesh, bringing this down to something

0:03:57.996,0:04:01.516
like 0.01 around there, and CTRL R to re-mesh.

0:04:01.516,0:04:03.326
You can see now, I've got some more detail.

0:04:03.626,0:04:05.056
Let's bring out that rock brush.

0:04:05.056,0:04:07.416
And now, I can paint with[br]this lovely rock texture.

0:04:09.336,0:04:10.566
I can right-click on this.

0:04:10.666,0:04:14.336
I can add it to my quick favorites or[br]give it a special keyboard shortcut.

0:04:14.336,0:04:15.026
Let's try that.

0:04:15.026,0:04:17.886
I'll click that, and let's press Q, for example.

0:04:18.046,0:04:21.516
So let's go to a different[br]brush, like the blob brush here.

0:04:21.856,0:04:25.856
When I press Q, you can see it[br]selects my rock brush just there.

0:04:25.996,0:04:28.756
The other great thing is[br]that I can press file, new.

0:04:28.816,0:04:30.536
And this time, I'll open up a sculpting file.

0:04:30.746,0:04:32.306
I won't save any of the changes.

0:04:32.576,0:04:35.176
And even though I haven't saved any[br]changes, if I come down to here,

0:04:35.316,0:04:36.776
you can see there's my rock brush.

0:04:36.866,0:04:40.656
And amazingly, it has the texture[br]still there, and I can click and drag

0:04:40.776,0:04:42.776
to add my rock texture to my sphere.

0:04:43.116,0:04:43.766
I'll undo that, though.

0:04:44.136,0:04:47.046
Press R, bring my voxels down.

0:04:47.046,0:04:48.716
CTRL R to do the re-mesh.

0:04:48.836,0:04:51.556
And then let's bring out[br]some lovely rocks again.

0:04:51.556,0:04:53.006
That's amazing, isn't it?

0:04:53.006,0:04:56.656
So hopefully, you can see how this[br]asset shelf for our brushes is going

0:04:56.656,0:04:59.846
to make things a lot easier within[br]Blender's sculpting workspace.

0:04:59.966,0:05:04.066
And keep an eye out on this channel for more[br]videos about the individual brushes themselves.
