Create a polished, appealing 3D character in 6 weeks.


The NEXT 3D Character Workshop:

Studio Cohort - Ranger Edition is opening soon.

Nomad Sculpt. On the iPad. One character, start to finish.

Early access. Limited seats.

WHAT THIS IS

  • A focused 6-week cohort led by Shane Olson
  • We build one complete character together
  • From concept to fully posed, rendered sculpt
  • Weekly live sessions and Q&A
  • Feedback focused on appeal, taste, and clarity

This is about making a character that actually looks good - not just finished.

WHAT THIS IS NOT

  • A disconnected list of tools and features
  • A software tour without context
  • A production pipeline course (retopo, UVs, print prep)
  • An open-ended membership

You’ll learn Nomad Sculpt as we build the character - tools and brushes explained in context, when they matter.

THE CHARACTER

Studio Cohort - Ranger Edition

This cohort centers around a single stylized character designed to teach strong blockout, form, and appeal.

You’ll start from the same concept and finish with your own version - guided step by step.

Concept by: Joshua Black

WHO IT'S FOR

This cohort is for artists who want to stop half-finishing characters and start creating work they’re proud to show.

  • Beginners who want structure and guidance
  • Intermediates who want better results, not more tools
  • Artists who like learning by doing

No prior Nomad experience required.

TIMING

  • Enrollment opens late January
  • The cohort begins early February
  • Seats are limited to keep feedback meaningful

The waitlist gets first access when enrollment opens.

Early access. Limited seats.
