For Complete Beginners

Digital 3D sculpting looks scary, but it comes down to a few core lessons. In this course, you'll learn the exact 3D character modeling techniques used to create creatures for films like Alien Covenant and Pacific Rim Uprising.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Master Nomad Sculpt

Before you can sculpt your own projects, you’ll need to know the software well. You'll master Nomad Sculpt brushes, UI navigation, masking, face groups, alphas, and the gizmo until the app feels like an extension of your hand.

Digital Sculpting Fundamentals

This is where real sculpting begins. You'll learn to see shapes clearly, capture dynamic gestures, and learn about frequencies - from character blocking down to micro-details. We cover the anatomy of the skull, facial features, body anatomy, and a professional digital sculpting workflow for realistic skin and wrinkles.

Build a Character

Put it all together. Step by step, you'll sculpt a complete 3D character from scratch, using every tool and technique covered in the first two sections. It's all real time without any timelapses or cut content. You can easily follow at your own pace and create a stunning sculpt in Nomad Sculpt.
