【Course Introduction】

In four months, our program will guide you through various techniques for creating garage kits using 3D software. The program will strengthen your basic sculpting skills, introduce the rules of garage kit production combined with 3D printing technology, and provide hands-on experience with the full process—from early-stage model creation, mid-stage supervision of 3D printing, to post-production work such as polishing and grey-spraying. After completing the course, you will be able to independently create garage kit prototypes and use them for mass production. Outstanding students may be directly interviewed and hired by top domestic companies, and we will also recommend other prototype artist positions. Alternatively, you can start your own studio and become an independent commercial prototype artist.

【Target Students】

1. Artists with experience in 3D game art production or animation production who wish to bring their works to life in physical form.

2. Sculptors who are skilled in using materials like clay, plaster, and resin to create garage kits, and now wish to utilize the latest 3D technology to complete their prototypes.

3. Current art students, enthusiasts, or beginners who aspire to pursue a career in related fields.

4. Industry professionals who are interested in the 3D printing process and workflow for garage kit production.
