Advanced Sculpting Miniatures for Production

Master Creature Sculpting for 3D-Print Production

Take your ZBrush skills to the next level and walk away with two production-ready creature miniatures, sculpted, posed, and ready for 3D printing.

Creatures are some of the most in-demand and most difficult miniatures in gaming, collectibles, and toys. This intermediate/advanced course teaches you the techniques studios expect from senior sculptors, and you'll finish with a portfolio piece that proves you can do it.

Across 21 hours of pre-recorded video, Bob Plociennik walks you through two distinct monsters, from a simple sphere to final print-ready parts. You'll sculpt muscles, wings, feathers, fur, scales, and claws, add surface detail like wounds, scars, and veins, then pose both creatures locked in battle. You'll also cut and key the finished sculpt into parts for printing, just like working production sculptors do.

By the end of the course, you will:

  • Sculpt any creature anatomy, from wings and talons to scales and fur
  • Create believable surface detail and texture at true miniature scale
  • Pose multiple creatures into a dynamic, print-ready battle scene
  • Cut and key complex creature sculpts into clean parts for 3D printing
  • Walk away with two finished creature miniatures for your portfolio

What People Are Saying:

This is a great course, I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. This course gave me exactly what I wanted from it. I'd recommend this course to both beginners and advanced as there is always something new to learn. I personally am not new to the software used in this course.

Scott

The course was great. Bob took the time to explain what he was doing and why he was doing it. He even explained how big of a detail you have to make for it to show up and explained what constitutes as a miniature. He also provided feedback via the course Discord. I got what I wanted and expected from the course. I recommend the course.

Razvan

I think the course is great. Bob Plociennik gave me all the information I was not able to find online. As well as the expertise and tricks of someone who actually works in the industry and is willing to share with others without fear of creating competent individuals - not only on the artistic side but also in the industry way of doing things. I absolutely recommend the course. I have been able to start making a living from sculpting miniatures since taking the course and couldn't be happier.
