Course Description

Start creating 3D art with your iPad or Android Tablet with Nomad Sculpt! No experience needed for this beginner Course. 3D doesn't have to be scary anymore, it's actually pretty fun! You can also sculpt anywhere anytime as long as you have your iPad, iPad Pro, or Android Tablet. This beginners class starts with opening the app, and covers everything you'll need to get started with the application. You'll complete and render your first 3D character, and have fun doing it!

What you'll learn:

  • Opening the application and adding primitives (Basic shapes used to initially start your modeling process)

  • Setting up your scene and using the Gizmo (Controller function, used to manage your 3D Objects)

  • Construction of a simple (but cute) character (Adjusting shapes, sculpting, joining and voxel remeshing your 3D mesh)

  • Getting familiar with some of the modeling and sculpting tools (There are LOTS of tools, so we'll cover the basics!)

  • Techniques for lighting the character and scene (Simple and effecting way I on just about every model I produce!)

  • Coloring the character (Using Layers, to create colors that can be easily adjusted or changed)

  • Rendering (Exporting) your finished Image

You'll need to download Nomad Sculpt Application - Available for IOS and Android tablets.

This application is a one time purchase; currently 15 dollars USD. Well worth it for what it can do!

At the time of recording, Nomad is at version 1.76 (updates come frequently with this app) So in the event changes do happen, i'll try to keep the course updated if possible.

Great introduction to sculpting on NomadSculpt. The instructor delivers on what is promised and the downloadable resource is very useful (a custom light map for Nomad Sculpt). I gladly await more courses on modeling in Nomad Sculpt from this instructor.

This course got me up to speed, brilliantly, with Nomad. Now I have digital sculpting on an iPad this is definitely where I’ll stay for personal projects. Dave’s delivery, calm, measured and informative got me from a standing start to playing with the app without fear. I’m going to do some stuff myself but I’ve just gone and ordered the Wolverine tutorial sight unseen because this beginners course proved his teaching style just works. Thanks Dave

This happens with software, between being on a different OS (Android) and most likely a newer version, the interfaces do not match 1 to 1. Ironically his looks way more logical in it's layout, so it kind of sucks to have to scroll through side bars to find the right tool/setting. Other than that, it was... OK. I mean I completed it, made the model, colored it, etc. But it seemed I has having to fight the program WAY MORE than he was and I have no idea why.

Pretty great course. I'm going to be taking his intermediate ones as well. My only criticism is tripped me up when there were details on the model not applied till later in the course. Should be an easy video edit on his end, or possibly just reshoot a video or two. All in all though, I'd recommend it.

By Rüdi Äshikovsky on 6/17/2024

The explanations of the tools are definitely helpful and well presented. I also think the method of making a small project with the functions is great. The end was a bit confusing, with a lot of jumping back and forth. As I participated at the same time, there were some parts that I had to look at twice.

Such a fun and amazing course! It was so easy to follow, fun to watch, voice was so clear and soothing and pleasant to listen to, and Dave did such a good job explaining all the details and things we might need!! I’m really so impressed with this course. I have ADHD and it’s so hard for me to focus and finish courses but I did this in a few days and it didnt even feel like I was learning. Just felt like fun :) THANKS DAVE!!

By Jas R on 12/12/2023

Thank you so much, Dave, for your amazing course! Within two days, I was able to complete your course and create my first character in Nomad Sculpt. I love how it turned out, as well as how much I learned in just two hours! Your teaching style is also wonderful, and I just can't wait to enroll in more of your Nomad Sculpt courses! Thanks again.

great course, perfect length and has really helped me get into nomad. I had only tried sculpting once before taking this lesson and I was nothing but lost, with this course I have now gained a greater understanding on how to use nomad and how to sculpt; Looking forward to doing the more advanced lessons next.

Hace unos meses compre Nomad Sculpt ya que me interesaba aprender a modelar en 3D, pero se me hizo algo complejo y no entendía muy bien por donde empezar. Busque tutoriales en todo internet para poder aprender y no lograba encontrar, hasta que llegue a este curso de Udemy, y FUE EXCELENTE!! Estoy muy contento con todo lo que aprendí, además de que fue super rápido y entretenido, sin duda una GRAN CLASE.

By Alyssa on 5/15/2023

I love how calmly he explains the process and help you to get a nice finished model by the end of the course. You are free to customize it along the way. I only would love to see lot of other settings explained, but this is a great tutorial to get you started! Love it, and a great artist
