You just summarized by entire college education in topology and mapping in under 10 mins! 0. 0 And better too!
EXACTLY LOL she'd make a great professor!
Id really love to see a rigging tut in blender. Most of them do not really focus on stylized/cute game characters. So its really a pain to fiddle around wiht all of this.
Love your videos. Easy to follow and nice to listen to your voice
I came here expecting a technical tutorial and ended up learning so many topics that I’ve struggling to understand for soooo long lol. I started doing 3D because I love video games, but I have always feel intimidated by game asset creation, but you made it so easy to understand, thank you very much! You have a new follower:)
You are too kind. I am happy the video was helpful ♥️
Rigging is available in Naomi Animation app! This video helped me decide on using an ipad to make 3D animated short films
That video was amazing! Every step is explained clearly, along with some basic guidelines to follow and get started: thank you for this!
Yay thanks you so much for the kind comment! I am happy to hear the video was helpful 🥰
Thank you sooo much for this, I've struggled for years trying to wrap my head around retopo and this app looks like the perfect solution for my personal difficulties! I love all your videos and they've helped me come so much farther with 3d than I ever thought I could ^^
Super glad to hear the video was helpful. Thank you for the lovely comment!!
Love this would love to the rigging and animation video next
I am one of your patrons and I really appreciate your vids! As a new Nomad user, you have helped me so much
Thank you so much for your support Sara, we truly appreciate it 💕I am happy to hear the videos have been helpful
If only cozyblanket wasnt so incredibly expensive... the free version is fine but you can only use it for basic retopology - any other tools is behind a really big paywall last time I checked :( I wished the app had a middle-tier price offer.
I use the Lite version of CozyBlanket, it's $20USD. You don't get the fancier tools, however it will let you do everything I did on the video :)
@@SmallRobotStudio Thats the comment I was searching for.
It is a great tool, UV-Layout on my iPad?? WTF :D
@@lln6123 Yeah, I wish I could work that way in the pc!
Even lite version is asking more than nomad, I won’t pay for cozy simply because it’s “cozy”
Like I have mentioned in other videos. There are other more cost effective tools. You don't need it
Nice! Thanks for the tutorial. I tried the same workflow for a project I’m working on a week ago. You also can bake normals from high resolution to low resolution in cozy blanket and import that in procreate, with normals. You have to import the whole folder to to do so. It’s still not an ideal workflow but I think it’s good to know that it’s already possible. I learned a lot from your nomad videos, thanks!
Thanks for sharing your process, I'd love to see what you are working on. I had not though about importing the normals to Procreate. I've got to experiment that!
This is so much good info
TOTAL COINCIDENCE I needed this for the future project I wanted to always try for the longest time THANK YOU!!
Wooohoo! Happy the video was helpful :)
Wow I didnt expect to learn so many things thx !!
Interesting pipeline, will try this for the next game project
This is the best video I’ve seen yet, exactly what I needed. However, I do have some issues with the unwrapping etc, It keeps overlapping, I’ve remade the model about 4 times now and it just keeps overlapping whatever I try.
You can adjust manually the location of the UV isles so they are not overlapping :)
@@SmallRobotStudio I’ve tried to do so, but whatever I try, the maps still overlap somehow.
Great video, full of amazing tips. It's been great watching you make this character, through live streams and the process videos. I wonder how far you intend to take this character. Is this the last episode or will you show the animation procress, or even the process of implementing it into a game engine. Either way I'm excited to see what you do next.
Thanks Joel! :) I'm in the process of building a proper rig (the one on the video was mostly automated 😶🌫) I'll give it to Michael to animate and then play with engine integration. I'm still debating what kind of video to make about it given that it's a bit outside of the channels specialty. It's relatively new territory for me to teach it confidently!
You are awesome
thank you for that amazing video!
these videos are so neat! thank you! :D
You are too kind! Thank you so much 😊
Oh nice tutorial... nomad is really good especially with organics... being an environment artist, i would like to see you do the same thing but with hard surfaces.. maybe a pipe set, some furniture, a wheel and tyre or a scifi crate or something? That something you could do?
im very new to cozy blanket but thanks to your video it made it very less intimidating!! just curious on how id be able to retopo a mesh that isnt symmetrical without having to freehand the entire model, using symmetry in some areas and not all. if youd be able to help or provide assistance id be very greatful!
:)
I am happy to know that the video was helpful! :)
Ohhh boi, you ask a great question. Unfortunately I am also looking for the answer. At least on the mid tier version of CZ I don't believe there is a way to work symmetry in isolated areas. This would be an amazing feature. I recommend reaching out to the developers to suggest it. They can be contacted thru twitter :)
Is there an alternative for cozy blanket for my pc? I use an android emulator to use Nomad sculpt
I didn’t realize you had to pay to export anything in cozyblanket while I was practicing on it, does anyone know of any other iPad apps that have the same functions and is free of more affordable?
Cozy lite is 20 dollars
Hi Erika, finally i bought cozy but i have a big doubt. If I have alphas for example in a wood chest, in cozy blanket the result is incredible... I tried the bake option and it shows like the original model but after I send back to nomad or procreate and the normal texture is lost... do you know how to fix it? Maybe cozy is not exporting normals map with uv? Please, help me
Great and inspiring video. Will this method work too for more highly detailed 3d character model creation to be imported for Unity or does this only work for simple characters? Also, would would using Blender instead of Cozy Blanket work too or is using Cozy Blanket much easier?
It's a yes for both answers. You can add a lot more detail to a model by baking Nomal maps and Unity can def handle much larger models. Blender is not bad at all, especially with the addOn RetopoFlow it's pretty good. I personally prefer CozyBlanket because it feel gamified but I rarely use it for larger models.
I love these videos! I learned so much already and had a lot of fun 💕 I'm a 2D concept artist and illustrator learning 3D. I hope it'll help me find work in the future 😄
Thank you ❤️
Thanks Lena! I'm also a 2D artist that got into 3D and it has opened a lot of doors professionally :) Keep learning and apply your 2D knowledge to create amazing assets!
do you have a separate video for UV unwrapping, mapping and packing?? You go through it really fast here.
感谢你的分享!
I was very interested in the content of the video, could you tell me if you can upload the characters created for VRChat?
Not sure what the pre-requisites for VRChat are, but I imagine you would need to rig for animation which you can't do in Nomad.
@@SmallRobotStudio Got it, thanks a lot for answering, I'm going to try to create a character using this app and animate it in a program that VRChat supports, then it might work.
One question,if we are animating it,what soft ware do we use to animate it? And is the software for mobile?
The ideal choices for rigging and animation are Maya or Blender. There are a number of mobile apps that let you do 3D animation but I have not tested them to be able to recommend
@@SmallRobotStudio thank you!
Kinda new to this. Any tips or ways to get the texturized painting style of how the final is just within nomad? Not disneyesque smooth ones. Similar to n64 or ps2 but not all blurry. Just simpler. All the tutorials I see are blender. I have procreate as well. I’ve picked up that painting the details is ideal for the style but am new to 3D modeling.
I'd recommend searching with the key words unlit, hand painted textures, or baked light textures. Where you paint changes the control and type of tools you can access but you can ultimately use Nomad, Procreate, Substance etc.

Can you do a tut on how to do this for android???
No chance, this was made only for ipads
cozyblanbket needs ring retopology like topogun
hey i dont have nomad sculpt but inhave sculptura, is that okay?
Does the file type matter when you save and take it to blender?
or can I just export from app then throw it on blender and work on it there?
Procreate really needs x-symmetry for 3d model painting. I also believe I once tried to overlay the uvs of left and right side to “simulate” symmetry and it didn’t allow (procreate) to use overlapping UVs…. Idk, as of now this is really the worst part of the workflow when using iPad. I just cannot bring myself to the point of doing twice as much work simply cause a feature is missing - whilst for simple characters this is acceptable, complex characters require symmetric painting substantially more in order to actually make them properly - it is beyond me why procreate still doesn’t allow for this. It’s been forever at this point since they introduced their 3D suite.
Do you know of any workarounds for this issue? It would be amazing (other than - for example - simply mirroring the maps after creating them and making sure to do the same to the object | which would require another step of post-processing I would rather avoid).
Anyways, as always awesome video! Nomad and Cozy are just… wow. I love them so much. 🎉
Is it possible to make a videogame map on nomadsculpt?
Like taking blueprint as reference and making objects/walls on it?
You can import image references into Nomad to sculpt any kind of asset you want. The cool thing about undeforming ones if that you don{t have to manually retopologize, decimation will do the trick!
Hi erika, any option of bake nomad sculpt high poly for use on the low poly cozyblanket object? I'm not sure how to do it or the steps. Maybe paint in procreate the nomad sculpt version and after use those uv on cozy low poly version?
Javier, for any bake you will need UVs first. Cozyblanket can create the Normal bakes if you switch to the BK room just under UV. Nomad can also do it, you can even reproject detail from a high poly mesh into a low poly. I'll make a video about it soon!
I have an ipad 9 can i do this too?
Hi! Pretty new to this, are all 3 apps required to create the model, or is it possible to make it in 1? (Preferably nomad or procreate)
I won’t be exporting the models for rigging or anything, I just wanna make some silly models of my characters yknow?
If you are just creating models, then Nomad is more than enough! My latest video shows how you can paint on it too
nomad best app
how to export to unity
Please make animation on prisma 3d
To be honest I am not an animator, but I might do at least some Nomad to Prisma workflow video
hi 🤗l from myanmar how can learn
normad app andriod. tutorial please advice me /waiting for you reply me🤓🤗
Hello! There's plenty of videos in our channel, I recommend the Beginner's Guide Tutorial. Start there to learn basic tools. Then pick things to sculpt and practice. Start simple and then go for more complicated item.
I’m upset that it took a whole year to find this! This actually helped so dam much 😭🫶
