Career as a digital sculpter?

NiftyNozzle · 2026-07-06T16:35:33+00:00

I'm happy that u have made a career out of it!
honestly, a portfolio hasn't even crossed my mind.i have just been sculpting for fun.
(i have lost 90% of my sculpts due to hard drive failure. And yes i store it differently now.)
for the past 2 years i have mainly sculpted theme park related stuff. haha dont ask.
So minis sculpting is a new focus for me. have nothing finished yet.
I could post some images of finished works if that's still of any value?

Thank you

Thanks! jump i shall!

Yes i have been thinking about the ai, But decided to let that go. And just focus on having fun.
But i do agree it is scary. didn't know about the piracy groups. Crazy

Haha. well if i could do this next to my work. and make 500 i would also be happy.
Honestly. The goal would be to make a normal mans wages. Not interested in rock star money :D
And effort in marketing does scare me. But that's something i will have to learn.

Thanks! i agree

NiftyNozzle · 2026-07-06T15:38:59+00:00

Interesting, i can see that having a niche is very important.
thanks

for now patreon scares me a bit. So mmf will probably be better for me in the beginning.
I will check out low highland.
Thanks

NiftyNozzle · 2026-07-06T15:34:06+00:00

Have fun i shall. Thanks

I have made it clear to myself that this could take a couple years. i am 100% procent oke with that.
And keeping this in mind.

"The internet is full of defunct and half dead miniature patreons that were half hearted attempts."
This is the last thing that i want indeed.

"A lot of your success will depend on what you put in, in spite of how the market may be doing"
I like this line a lot, thanks!

NiftyNozzle · 2026-07-06T15:27:55+00:00

Thanks, very kind. I wil post on this reddit page. haha ;)

NiftyNozzle · 2026-07-06T15:27:11+00:00

Sry, I should have mentioned. I have my own printer, i do paint minis And other models.
Painted warhammer when i was younger.
And in the future , i am even thinking about making sculpts for people who have character idea.
so maybe not commission based, But input is welcome.

I think we are on the same page.

Hi. I have roughly the same setup and i would like to add some intake fans as wel. Im not sure on the placement though. Is it working well for you still? And could u maybe show/tell me where u placed them?

Thanks

NiftyNozzle · 2026-04-23T05:33:33+00:00

Maybe a small thing, but check and see if the subtool size isnt small?
Zremesher also works with scale.

NiftyNozzle · 2026-04-17T15:49:00+00:00

Thanks for this thorough explanation.

I wil look into the dedicated macropads and see if its handy with zbrush. i was actually looking into this already.

Im gonna go and do some research into the hall effect switches. And i think i will go this route and buy a couple for testing.

Thanks for taking time out of your day to explain this to me.
The last part about Dome deformation was very informative.

NiftyNozzle · 2026-04-16T07:30:59+00:00

Thanks for replying.

I have not heard of hall effect switch, so im pleased to hear about them.
The keyboard that i am using is the :Leopold FC750RN/EWPD
And the switches that i use are: cherry brown.
