From Idea to (virtual) reality

How to make a 3d printed statue
Create a Simple Statue or Figurine With Minimal Tools
One on One live online course
Learn to Create Your Own 3D-Printed Statue — From Concept to Finished Piece
In approximately 10 one-hour sessions, you’ll learn the essential basics of digital sculpting and modeling in Blender (or any sculpting software you prefer). You’ll also discover how to prepare your model in Lychee, verify and repair it in UV Tools, and finally set up a 3D printer, choose the right resin, and finish your printed piece.
We begin by selecting a model together and scheduling the lessons at times that work for both. I’ll demonstrate each tool and process live, then guide you as you practice, correcting any mistakes along the way. If you need more time, no problem — we continue until your statue is complete.
You can choose to pay for all 10 hours upfront or pay after each session.
