Refining the Base Meshes

Now with the block-out finished, we will begin to add more detail to the sculpting by going back and adding more geometry to each part with the necessary details, going into further depth on the distinct aspects of the human anatomy covered in the previous chapter. This process is essential in order to properly refine the look of any character since here is where we make our character believable and give it some personality.

In this chapter, we’ll cover the following:

  • How to refine the block out, adding more detail to each part
  • The suggested brushes each step of the way based on the shape of the area
  • How to properly join the meshes, smoothing the division between each part of the meshes

By the end of this chapter, you should be able to sculpt decent-looking humanoid figures.
