Tinkercad : Easy Modeling for Crafting DAZ Studio Assets
March 30, 2024 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm GMT
Rgcincy (Richard Schafermeyer) is an experienced modeler who has written his own 3D modeling software (Shape Magic) plus is a very experienced DAZ Studio user.
Over the last year he’s discovered Tinkercad, a free on-line modeling tool. It’s easy to use for creating models destined for 3D printing and producing assets for 3D software, such as DAZ Studio. Rich has been very impressed with Tinkercad and he’d now like to show you the benefits of this application.
Rich will show you Tinkercad so that you can…
- Understand the Tinkercad interface comprehensively
- Create simple to more complex 3D models.
- Transform your models into a Minecraft or Lego style
- Export the models for use in 3D printing and 3D programs
- Import the models into DAZ Studio and add textures
- Learn how to import models from DAZ Studio for modification
- Utilise the Tinkercad library of pre-made models in Daz Studio
- See how models can be animated by using gravity in Simlab
- Play with materials and connectors in Simlab.
This is for you if you…
- You want to get started in creating 3D models without learning a complex modelling program
- You need a 3D prop or figure accessory that is not available or too expensive to buy
- You want to get into 3D printing and need a simple, free CAD program to make models
- Creating models by stacking and combining simple shapes sounds like fun
Rich is going to show you how to use Tinkercad even if you…
- Have little or no experience with 3D modeling
- Have never used a CAD program before
- Are new to importing/exporting 3D models
What set’s this event apart?
- You will be guided by an experienced modeler who has written 3D modelers of his own and has used Daz Studio for years
- It’s a live class where you can ask questions to better understand how to use the software
- You’ll be learning with like-minded artists

About the presenter Richard Schafermeyer (rgcincy)
Rich Schafermeyer is a long-time 3D artist and programmer. He got his start with the original Poser and Bryce 3D. In 2001, he wrote his first 3D modeler that evolved into Shape Magic. He began to use Daz Studio in 2012. With a research and engineering background, the physics of dForce grabbed his attention! He decided it would be helpful to others if he shared his learnings which he also does within the DAZ forums. He’s now working with Tinkercad and it is his modeling software of choice when creating assets for DAZ Studio.
