3D Character Design Workshop with Nomad Sculpt
I'm Dave Reed and 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. So join me, I look forward to seeing you in class! Instructor bio: Dave Reed is a 2D and 3D illustrator and digital creator based in Brooklyn, New York. He holds a BFA in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts in NYC, where he developed his craft in both traditional and digital mediums. With a passion for visual storytelling and design, Dave brings a creative and practical approach to his teaching, helping learners build the skills and confidence to create their own illustrations and digital art.
