About this Workshop: In this workshop we will be sculpting a 3d pumpkin to celebrate the spooky season! You will learn some of the basic functions of the software Nomad Sculpt including creating a basic shape, radial repeaters, mirroring, vertex coloring, sculpting tools like crease, drag, move, inflate, and finally exporting a rendered PNG! Participants can expect a relaxed pace and lots of time to ask questions and work with your peers. For anyone brand new to 3d sculpting or simply interested in learning about sculpting on a tablet this is a great introduction for you. Daniel will also be TA’ing so everyone can get 1-on-1 help as needed. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: Are Your Workshops Open to Beginners?A: Can you draw a stick figure? Well then, you are qualified to attend most of our events! Intermediate workshops will be noted in the title. If you are feeling like you need additional help with any of the concepts please let the host or TA know and we would be happy to schedule 1-on-1 time. Q: How do I access the training?A: Most workshops will be located at our headquarter office. Make your way to the entrance (in-between My Fathers Place and Slow Bar) and search for DIGITAL DABBLE on the door buzzer. We will be upstairs (follow the sign) PLEASE CALL FOR ASSISTANCE IF YOU NEED TO USE THE ELEVATOR. For partnership events please make sure to check the address listed on the event! Q: Why doesn't the password work for downloadable course files?A: Most workshops will have downloadable files/instructions but these are password protected and made available on the day of the event. This gives the host time to make any adjustments to the files before the workshop begins. Most workshop content is eventually made available as a free online course! Q: A lot of workshops mention Blender. So what is Blender?A: Blender is the free and open source 3D and 2d creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, even video editing and game creation. In addition, Blender has a powerful vector based 2d animation feature called Grease Pencil. Blender is licensed as GNU GPL, owned by its contributors. For that reason Blender is Free and Open Source software, forever. Q: Is there parking and is it free?A: There should be street parking around the training center and it is FREE on the weekend. If you take public transit there are options that should get you very close. Q: What happens if I show-up late?A: For events at Digital Dabblers, HQ we have a 15 minute buffer built-in to accommodate late arrivals. Shhh, just don't tell anyone! 🙂 If you are more than 15 minutes past the starting time of this event the doors will be locked. This is to respect the time of your classmates and the instructor. For partner events at other spaces it is best to arrive as close to the start time as possible. Q: Does the software cost money? A: Always check the event page to confirm. If we're teaching using Blender it is free to download and use forever! Just make sure to have it installed on your laptop/device before arriving. For other workshops like Procreate or Procreate Dreams, Aseprite, etc., the price of the software and links to download will be listed in the description. Q: Do you provide computers/equipmentA: There are currently 7 lab computers and 2 tablets available on a first-come first-serve basis. Q: What do I need?A: Please plan to bring your own laptop with the latest version of the software installed (unless you plan to use a lab computer). If you need a laptop we will have a few lab computers available but these are first come first serve. Make sure to arrive early if you need a device 🙂 CODE OF CONDUCT (Please read before RSVP) Expectations for Classroom Participation: It is expected that participants will maintain a positive attitude and a willingness to learn, be challenged, and communicate their needs to the host(s). It is OK to leave class for small breaks but we cannot hold-up the class for a student who is absent for more than 5-10 mins. at a time. Support Your Peers: At Digital Dabblers events it is impossible to offer a "one-size-fits-all," experience (but we do our best!). Some folks may join with more experience than others. If you are familiar with a topic, and notice a fellow classmate struggling, offer to help! If you are struggling with any of the material please speak up and let a host or classmate know. Because we cater to beginners and intermediate artists, it is essential that be build a supportive environment for folks at all levels to succeed. Persistent Negativity: When students are persistently negative this drags the mood and experience down for all attendees. As an organization and organizers we are not perfect! And many things
