Welcome to my 3D Character Workshop in Nomad Sculpt! The ability to design characters in 3D has been a game-changer for me, and has been a joy to learn with Nomad Sculpt. I’ve been able to export my 3D Sculpts to Blender for more in depth work, and also create physical art that I can hold in my hands with resin 3D printing. This type of character lends itself well to 3D printing so it's perfect if you're looking to sculpt things you can print!

This class is geared towards those of you who are familiar with the basics of Nomad Sculpt, and are interested in getting better at 3D character design. This little character isn’t too complex, but still has a lot of elements working together to be a good challenge if you’re looking to improve your skills.

I’ll go over each step I'm making and why I'm making it.. 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 results you want with your own workflow.

Here is what we will go over in class:

Opening and preparing our scene for sculpting.
Importing our reference image
Blocking out our character using simple shapes or “primitives”
Tailoring the shapes to exactly what we need
Adding details like teeth, tongue, and fingers
Simple scene lighting and painting techniques
Post Processing to make our art ready for render, or to send to other applications

If you have been working in Nomad for a while, you’ll still discover new things to add to your arsenal from my workflow. I continue to learn new aspects of the program and more efficient ways to sculpt with each and every project. I look forward to seeing you in class!
