What Will I Learn?

• Learn how to separate a solid (dynameshed) model into pieces.
• How to clean up a model that has been split into parts.
• How to create and add "keys and holes" into your pieces so that they fit ("slot") together when 3D printed.
• How to quickly create additional modular options that use the "keys and holes" that you've created..
• How to check your pieces to make sure that they will work when printed, and how to edit your pieces when needed.

Requirements

• A foundational understanding of zbrush is required for this course.
• It is assumed that you already know how to get your files from zbrush to a 3d printer. All of our previous courses walk students through this phase.

Target audience

• This course is intended for sculptors who are looking to create variable modular options for their 3D printed models.
• Unlike our other courses, this course is not intended for an absolute beginner. However, if you have taken any of our other courses you should have all of the knowledge you need to complete this course just fine.
