Another attempt at an anime style head

Pad.jpg The shoulder pad is a Loft object: drawing a straight line, then an upside down U shape to make the Loft. Then added Thickness in object properties panel. Next, Pull Brush with a pointed brush shape to pull out spiky shapes. Duplicate the shape to add another layer to the pad. Finally add a...

Using "Mesh/Fit To... /Drop to Surface", and detailing with spheres and slabs using Reverse Surface to make them look like cut outs rather than extrusions.

Also added extra highlights by duplicating surfaces and using "Glow" mode to add a second additive layer to the material.

On the left the SubD mesh, I only had to model half and used object symmetry.

Seeing how far I can get using primitives instead of sculpting

This bug is fixed in 5.1.11

I think Curvy had problems working out the overlap to weld to parent. In these cases you can cut parts of the meshes out with the lasso tool, Mesh/Join them, and use Mesh/Stitch Holes to join them together. Voxel Merging will create meshes with a number of triangles proportional to the surface area ...

Very curious - thanks for the update, will investigate.

You can now export to gltf format, which can load animated models into game engines like Unreal.

I recommend sculpting with "Mirror Sculpt" turned off for Clay and Flatten brushes - then use "Mirror [Ctrl+M]" to make the object symmetrical.

I will continue working on a fix for "Mirror Sculpt", but it won't be soon.

It seems to be linked to "Mirror Sculpt" mode. I will investigate - thanks for the bug report!

This can happen with double sided objects like the Loft. If you sculpt on the back side of the object the sculpting effect is reversed.
