Thanks to YouTube, most people think you're supposed to start from a sphere and sculpt a creature entirely from scratch. In reality, professionals rarely do this. It simply takes too much time and client's aren't willing to wait that long. Or pay that much!Most studios have a secret library of assets they use to 'kitbash' new creatures, effectively skipping the process of making a bashmesh and allowing them to get to the detailing (and more fun) stage of sculpting that much faster.I spent over a year collecting, modelling and preparing one of these 'secret' libraries, so now you can have access to the same types of assets and workflows used by professionals.TUTORIAL LINKS:Installing: youtu.be/1EG8lNf8KPsWorking with booleans: youtu.be/xoeccez8xgAAdding your own assets: youtu.be/NIDY1I49ITMSubdiv and Multires: youtu.be/yyR7WpwivFg
