FAQ

Why make a Sculpting Course focused on heads?

Sculpting heads is one of the most popular skills artists want to learn, but it can be challenging and takes skill. There is a lot to learn and it also requires a lot of practice.

This is why I am making this course dedicated for sculpting heads. In the ⭐ Basic Version you will have a good introduction to sculpting heads both in theory and practice. The ? Ultimate Version is for serious artists who want to continue getting more content to practice and learn more on sculpting heads.

Are there subtitles in this course?

No, currently there are no subtitles present for this course.

Which Blender version will be used in this course?

Blender updates quite often, adding features, improving things, fixing bugs, changing the UI at times, etc. For this reason, I highly recommend following any Blender course using the same version used in the course to avoid any potential confusion (especially if you are new to Blender). You can always switch back to the most recent Blender version after you finish the course, things taught in the course will be more than relevant to other versions.

It is of-course more than possible to follow the course using other Blender versions if you are experienced, but I don't see why you should, just use the same one.

The course is recorded using Blender 3.5.0 (Latest version at the time of the recording). A link to the exact version of Blender used will be provided in the course.

You can have more than one Blender version installed on you PC so you won't have to worry about uninstalling a current version you are using.

Is Blender Free?

Yes, the program used in this course is completely free.

Can I follow the course with Zbrush or any other sculpting program?

Yes! As long as you know your tool there is no reason not to be able to follow what I teach in this course.

Can I stream the content on Gumroad instead of downloading the video files?

Yes, after getting my course you can decide to either watch the videos by streaming on Gumroad, or downloading the video files if you prefer. Streaming it is ideal if you have a slow internet connection to download the files, or if you want to save some space on your pc/laptop.

This course is in $, your other courses are in €, how come?

No matter what currency is set on the course, the price will be shown in dollars and processed in dollars at checkout. This can potentially cause confusion when a course is set at a currency with a specific price, then you end up seeing a different price at check out.

This is why I decided to set my content to $ from now on. Sadly in Gumroad we can't change past products currencies, but in the future you can expect all my content to be in $ sign instead. I apologize if that causes any confusion, but rest assured you can get products with any currency no matter what currency your country uses.

Will there be updates to the course?

YES! I don't consider this course finished yet, and I have some plans to update the ultimate version with more content and chapters. There will be some small patches to fix some parts if needed, and bigger updates to add content. When I update you will be notified by email as long as you are subscribed to me on Gumroad, so make sure to do that!

Check the update log at the start of this page for more information on the course updates and changes. This will help you understand what changes with each patch/ update. If you already own the course, you can use that information to update your files when needed!
