    For anyone following this tutorial in 2022 and beyond, the new shortcut to switch to different objects while in Sculpt mode or in Edit mode (mentioned at 14:30 in the video) is Alt + Q. And it's now enabled by default; you don't have to go into preferences to turn it on.
  • @hiankun
    For Blender 3.0 users who getting stuck around 14:54, press "Alt+q" when the mouse is on your object.
  • @MR-vg7yn
    As a Blender newbie with a programming background that Pose brush is just mindblowing black magic.
  • I think this is the most comprehensive intermediate/advanced tutorial on sculpting that I have ever seen! Thank you so much!! it is amazing!
  • @JamieDunbar
    Wow, I can't believe what a good job the Autoremesher does! That's almost production ready. Give it another generation or two and AI will be doing our retopo for us.
  • Just glancing at the title I thought for sure this was just an ad for a paid course. Now that I see how great the content is I almost think it should have been! So many thanks for sharing
  • @AaronRotenberg
    Even when you think you know Blender pretty well, there's always so much more stuff to learn.
  • @ScottVanKirk
    Hey, I haven't been blendering in a while and I have to say, your skills and your tutorials have moved to the next level over the past year. Nicely done and thanks for the excelent tut!
  • @valleybrook
    This tutorial is pure gold. I like the level and speed you are using. Really focusing on what is of interest. Excellent work!
  • This reminds me so much of Spore's character creator. I love the tutorial, I just bought a 3D printer to try and make my own miniatures and with tutorials like these I feel like I can pull off making my own miniatures.
  • @mov4736
    HOLYYYY!!!! I was literally struggling with sculpting (not the tools, but getting stuff to look decent). This came at the right time!
  • @PsychoGod9898
    Awesome tutorial. I really like your combination of detailed explanations and the time lapse parts. And for someone who used the sculpt mode the last time maybe one or two years ago, it is incredible to see how many helpful features where added to Blender <3
  • @davi.alexandre
    Your sculpting tutorials are awesome, man! I always learn something new, and they're great to watch when I need to remember stuff that I sometimes forget.
  • I just wanna be real, I have wanted to create 3D models and my own characters since I was a little boy and I thought id never be able to do it, but your youtube videos are a blessing and really do help, thank you. Genuinely made my dream come true, and I can't wait to be on your level of skill! keep up the good work and don't stop!
  • @anzatzi
    Zach is back! Hope this means a general update of the CG Boost sculpt course.
  • im like 25 mins in right now, and the amount of new knowledge you've taught me so far is MINDBLOWING, thank you so much, this is probably one of the best tutorials on sculpting ive watched so far!
  • @jameshughes3014
    Thank you. I've seen so many videos about what sculpt tools 'do', but seeing how to use them start to finish really helps.
