Just because you say this it doesn’t guarantee that your model has clean geometry or is tailored to meet your specific needs.
While you may be familiar with modeling, the real challenge lies in doing it efficiently and understanding clean topology. This is crucial for the subsequent stages of 3D work, including:
Without clean topology, you can encounter serious issues such as:
These complications can lead to visual artifacts that detract from the overall quality of your work. They can also:
Ultimately, poor topology leaves your 3D models less effective and polished than they could be, undermining your efforts and creativity.
This is exactly why I want to simplify the complexities of modeling, teach you the basics of clean topology, and introduce you to various modeling techniques that you can use in your workflow. By mastering these concepts, you will enhance the quality of your work, streamline your workflow, and ensure your 3D models are both visually appealing and technically sound.

“So far so good. I can see my T-Rex wanting to be sculpted and created. I hope I can do many cool animations with it.”
“Nothing else worked, this course is helping me so much. Words cannot describe how much I appreciate this.”
“Great friendly teacher that shows you the whole process without skipping steps! Even if you get lost you can easily backtrack since she's very organized!”
“I'm loving the techniques I'm learning to model organic creature low poly following a reference and then eventually sculpt detail, i've just made the middle toe at this point so will see how it goes but i am enjoying it”
Early Bird Registration & FAQ
Great question, the price will go up x5 - so now is the time to secure the discounted price!
My goal is to push out at least 3 lectures a week, probably more than that. But 3 lectures are what I can guarantee!
I am using Blender version 4.4, but honestly any version from 3.0 and up is fine!
Yes! There are no paid add-ons required to complete the course.
Yes! I have uploaded English captions.
No, it is purely modeling.
Yes! I will acknowledge 30 days from the date of purchase.
Absolutely, feel free to email me at [email protected] I'd be happy to help you :-)
