Intro to 3d Sculpting in Blender

Welcome to the Blender 3D Sculpting, Intro Workshop! Are you ready to carve out some time to join us at Portland Digital Dabblers Events for a fun hands-on workshop? Together we’ll learn the basics to sculpt a 3d human (or humanoid) head (giving ourselves the freedom to make whatever grotesque creatures come to mind). Whether you’re a beginner or looking to enhance your skills, this workshop is perfect for all levels. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to boost your 3D sculpture, and 3d modeling game!

• We will start by going through an overview of Blender, the UI, settings/preferences, and leave time for open Q/A (10 mins)
• Next we will begin trying out essential 3d sculpting tools such as grab, pinch, smooth, flatten, draw, etc. (30-45 mins), this will cover the basics of 3d sculpting in an open-ended and stress free way.
• After this we will add some style to your 3d sculpture! (30 mins)
• Last, we will render our creations and compare results in two render engines (Cycles and Eevee).

But that’s not all – we’ll also have plenty of coffee, tea & snacks on hand to keep you energized and focused throughout the workshop.
