Lesson 1:
Hour 1: Getting Started
An introduction to the Gizmo (transformation and rotation) and primary tools (Brush, Clay, Crease, Drag, etc.), followed by a brief practice session.
Step into the world of 3D sculpting with confidence as we demystify the essentials. You’ll get hands-on with Nomad’s most powerful tools—Brush, Clay, Crease, and more—while learning how to shape and rotate your model using the Gizmo. It’s your first step toward turning simple spheres into show-stopping sculptures.
Hour 2: Getting Technical
An introduction to the user interface and secondary tools (Layers, Materials, Lighting, Importing & Exporting, etc.).
Now that you’ve got your hands dirty, it’s time to sharpen your control. We’ll decode Nomad’s user interface and explore layers, lighting, materials, and file management. By the end of this hour, you’ll not only sculpt—you’ll sculpt smart.
Lesson 2:
Hour 3: A Closer Look
A deeper dive into primary tools (Fur, Painting, Tube tool, etc.) and secondary tools (Remeshing, Decimation, Boolean operations, etc.).
Let’s level up. We’ll expand your toolkit with detailed techniques like fur creation, painting, and tube modeling. Then we’ll dive deeper into structural refinements using remeshing, booleans, and decimation. It’s where precision meets creativity—and your work starts to stand out.
Hour 4: Sculpting Together
A live feedback session with real-time tips and techniques.
It’s showtime. Watch me sculpt in real time as I walk you through tips, problem-solving tactics, and decision-making on the fly. You’ll learn not just the how, but the why behind sculpting choices—because seeing the process unfold is where the magic really clicks.
Lesson 3:
Hour 5: Final Teachings/Tips + Resources
Q&A, a review of tools or features you’re less confident with, and a behind-the scenes look at some of my own model - including the techniques and workflows that went into them. We’ll also explore helpful resources to continue your sculpting journey beyond the lessons.
Still unsure about a few features? This hour is your safe zone for questions, refinement, and clarity. I’ll also share exclusive behind-the-scenes techniques from my own work—and equip you with resource gems to fuel your growth long after the lessons end.
Hour 6: Second Live Feedback Session + Conclusion
A second live feedback session with real-time tips and techniques, focusing on a tougher subject.
Let’s push the envelope. In this advanced live session, we’ll tackle more challenging subjects while I give live critiques and adjustments. It’s the perfect way to wrap the course—with confidence, clarity, and a next-level understanding of your own sculpting style.
Lesson 4 (optional):
Hour 1 & 2: The Photoshoot
Rendering a finished model in Blender - setting up lighting, cameras, and materials, then exporting the final image. You'll create a polished render suitable for a portfolio or social media showcase.
Time to go from sculpt to showcase. We’ll bring your model into Blender and learn how to light, frame, and render it like a pro. By the end, you’ll walk away with a stunning final image—ready for your portfolio, your feed, or wherever you want to show off your skills.
