This 15-day Nomad sculpt challenge will surely help Digital Sculpt Beginners to learn…Nomad sculpts basics..

Welcome to day 09 of the Nomad Sculpt Challenge:

Using Nomad Sculpt on an iPad to create a Nutcracker can be a project that is both enjoyable and demanding. The following is a tutorial that will walk you through each stage of creating a basic nutcracker sculpture in Nomad Sculpt:

  • You should begin by launching Nomad Sculpt, creating a new project, and selecting a cylinder as the beginning shape for your model.
  • Make the cylinder take the basic form of the body of the Nutcracker by manipulating its position using the Move tool. You may refine the surface by using the Smooth tool, while the Clay tool allows you to add and remove material from the model.
  • Make cuts with the Cut tool to remove the arms, legs, and head from the figure. You can specify the edges of these features by using the “Pinch” tool in your toolbox.
  • Make use of the Reference Image option in order to bring in an image of a nutcracker that can serve as a guide as you sculpt. It is possible to align the reference image with your sculpt by making use of the Grid tool.
  • Include any additional components that you’d like on the body of the Nutcracker, such as the belt, the buttons, and anything else that comes to mind. Make use of the Crease tool to define any edges that are very pointed.
  • Use the Move tool and the Clay tool to form the features of the arms and legs, such as the curves and the angles. This may be done by clicking and dragging the respective tools. Make use of the Crease tool to define any edges that are very pointed.
  • Make the mouth and the teeth with the Cut tool, and save your progress. You can specify the edges of these features by using the “Pinch” tool in your toolbox.
  • Utilize the Move tool in conjunction with the Clay tool in order to give the head its distinctive features, such as its nose, eyes, and ears. Make use of the Crease tool to define any edges that are very pointed.
  • Utilize the Material tool to apply distinct materials to the various components of the Nutcracker. For example, you can use wood for the body of the Nutcracker, metal for the teeth and the belt, and fabric for the hat. Altering the setting and lighting is another option for achieving the desired appearance.
  • After you have perfected your sculpture to your satisfaction, save it as an OBJ or STL file so that you may use it for 3D printing or some other purpose.
  • Don’t forget to save your work frequently as you go along, and don’t be hesitant to try out new things and experiment with different approaches. You are free to design the Nutcracker according to your own ideas thanks to the extensive toolkit and feature set offered by Nomad Sculpt.
