About: Transform your imagination into reality! Participants will learn digital sculpting fundamentals using Nomad Sculpt on tablets, creating original 3D models that will be printed on our Bambu A1 printer. This workshop introduces professional digital art techniques in an accessible, creative environment suitable for ages 12-18.
Workshop Flow:
- Object Development – Brainstorming and planning session where participants develop a clear concept for their creation using traditional media (paper and pencils).
- Nomad Sculpt Basics – Learn interface navigation, essential tools, and workspace setup to get comfortable with the digital environment.
- Sculpting Fundamentals – Master core techniques including form building, detailing, and refinement to bring your vision to life.
- Finishing & Print Preparation – Optimize your model for successful 3D printing, ensuring the best possible results.
- 3D Printing Basics – Understand the printing process and watch as creations begin their journey from digital to physical.
Project Ideas:
- Holiday ornaments
- Cartoon/anime characters
- Character figurines
- Jewelry and wearables
- Keychains
- Miniature creatures
Learning Outcomes: Participants gain hands-on experience with professional digital sculpting software used in creative industries worldwide. The workshop develops 3D spatial reasoning and digital design skills essential for modern creative careers. Each participant takes home a physical 3D printed version of their unique creation, while building foundational skills applicable to game design, animation, and digital fabrication careers.
Alternative Experience: For participants interested in exploring further, sculptures can be placed into AR environments using the gallery’s tablets and viewed immersively through VR headsets—no printing required!
Please bring your own refreshments and food.
All digital equipment and software will be provided by the workshop facilitators.
