Lion-O Collectible 3D Printing Course

 

Learn the full process of creating a stylized collectible for 3D printing, from sculpting the character to preparing clean, printable files.

This course includes over 30 hours of recorded training where I walk through the complete creation of a collectible character in ZBrush, including two full poses, sculpting decisions, print prep, cutting, keying, and presentation.

You’ll also get guest lessons covering both major printing workflows:

FDM printing with Wekster
Resin printing in Lychee with Derek

Inside the course, you’ll learn:

⭐ How to approach a stylized collectible from start to finish
⭐ How to sculpt and refine a dynamic character pose
⭐ How to create two finished pose variations
⭐ How to prep a sculpt for 3D printing
⭐ How to cut and key parts for assembly
⭐ How FDM and resin workflows differ
⭐ How to think like a collectible artist, not just a sculptor

This is a great fit if you already know the basics of ZBrush and want to see how a professional collectible-style character comes together from beginning to end.

Includes lifetime access to the recordings.
