Batman! Nomad Sculpt Full Tutorial (Udemy.com)
Step by step 3D character design course for Nomad Sculpt mobile application!
Created by: Dave Reed
Last updated July 2023
What you will learn
- Create 3D Fan-Art - Just for renders and for 3D printing
- Building 3D models from basic shapes using Nomad Sculpt
- Proficiency with Nomad Sculpt application (Advanced)
- Full Lighting and background environment finishing to complete 3D renders
Course Description
In this slightly more advanced course, we'll build a 3D sculpt of Batman from the ground up. We will start with blocking and step by step form our shapes that will become the body, armor and cape. You will create the full character design from a 2D reference. As always, experimenting and making this your own is encouraged! Currently running Nomad Sculpt v1.78
We'll cover
Blocking the shapes using primitives
When to voxel merge / when not to
Using various tools to achieve the details and look we want
Keeping our model efficient in size
Lighting
Coloring and logo design in Procreate
Adding a backdrop / custom environment
Post process and rendering
I'll be using an iPad Pro 2021, but Nomad is available on many different tablets/devices: We won't get too high with vertices, so most devices shouldn't have any issues with the project. (I think around 5mil Max, my final render is 2.95m) I've also included some extras like my Custom environment, image samples, and the final Nomad file that you open, examine, and reference as needed!
This is the perfect class for those interested in creating 3D model characters and also for 3D print style characters.
This class is also perfect for those looking to learn how to model/sculpt for miniatures as well! Whether you’re familiar with 3D modeling, or just getting started, nomad sculpt is a really fun way to sculpt anywhere anytime. You can also export files to other applications like Blender to continue to work with your sculpts as you need.

He did a good job teaching how to go from blocking out to final pose! I already had knowledge of the program, but I did a different process. I prefer this way now for my sculpts.

Nomad Sculpt is a powerful app, but it needs a great amount of skill and knowledge to operate it to its full potential. Dave manages to do just that! Masterclass!

Super cours, j'ai adoré faire ce projet Batman. (j'ai décidé de faire une version du Batfleck car j'adore ce personnage) Très bien expliqué, je suis français, mais je comprends bien l'anglais et Dave parle de façon très compréhensible, c'est pour ça d'ailleurs que je suis abonné aussi à sa chaine Youtube et que cette formation complète parfaitement en faisant un projet de A à Z. Je remercie Dave pour la clarté de cette formation ! Je pense aller regarder tes autres formations.

Before this I did Dave's crash course on Youtube, which helped a bit, however, as a complete beginner, I had to check carefully every move he made to keep up with the process, it took me very long, but in the end I learnt a lot! My batman looks good, well at least to me!

Deutsch: Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Kurs! Ich habe bereits ein wenig vor Erfahrungen mit der App gehabt (aber schon etwas länger her - 2 Jahre) und habe eine paar sehr nützliche neue Tips & Vorgehensweisen über Nomad gelernt. Es hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht! Im generellen war die Erfarhrung sehr gut! Besonders hat mir die ruhige Art von Dave, während des Prozesses, die sich überträgt und damit sehr hilfreich ist, gefallen. Ich habe ~14 Std gebraucht um ihn zu beenden. English: I am very happy with the course! I've had some prior experience with the app (but it's been a while - 2 Years) and have learned some very useful new tips & practices about Nomad. It was a lot of fun! In general the experience was very good! I particularly liked Dave's calm manner during the process, which carries over and is therefore very helpful. It took me ~14 hours to finish it.
