Are you an artist who wants to expand from 2D to 3D art? If you have an iPad or an Android tablet, you’ll be surprised as to what YOU can create!

Welcome to Introduction to 3D with Nomad Sculpt! I’m Drugfreedave, and I am completely obsessed with creating 3D art. I say 3D art because there are so many different ways to be creative with 3D; you can render your art as images, dive into 3D printing, you can even create a model in Nomad and further develop it in programs like Blender for rigging, animation, or game assets.

This class is geared toward absolute beginners that may have little or no experience at all with 3D or art in general. I know it looks complicated and intimidating, but I really take my time giving direction and create an environment that’s easy to learn in at a pace that's easy to follow.

Nomad Sculpt version 1.82 or higher

Here are some of the things you'll learn in class:

Opening and preparing our scene. Getting familiar with the Nomad Sculpt UI (User Interface, the program)
Adding primitives to our scene. “Primitive” is just a fancy word for a simple shape.
The idea of using primitives to block out a simple character. “Blocking” is like sketching but with shapes!
General overview of tools and other functions that we will use to help form our character
Voxel remeshing: The process of combining shapes together to form one solid piece
Simple scene lighting
Post Process: This will add the final touches to our character and make it ready to render

These terms will make sense as we work our way through the course. There are also multiple ways to achieve things when working in 3D, so as you develop your skills, you will find new and creative ways to get the look you want for your 3D sculpts. I look forward to seeing you in class!

What you'll need:

iPad, iPad Pro, or Android Tablet (with Apple pencil or pressure sensitive stylus)
Nomad Sculpt application (iOS / Android)
Snacks (optional)
