FlowScape Masterclass - Course Starts Soon!

Fortunately there’s a great solution called FlowScape which provides an easier way to paint and quickly generate 3D scenes.

It removes many of the barriers and user interface challenges that you find in more expensive solutions to create natural terrains.

Yet FlowScape does have a wide range of options for scene creation and it can be easy to miss these, preventing full use of the software.

In this new live masterclass, led by Alan Smithee we are going to show you a Complete Guide to FlowScape so that you can:

1. Take FlowScape to its limits for useful artistic output
2. Learn all of the best FlowScape resources and tips in one place
3. Import characters or props into the scene with less headaches
4. Go beyond the “small island” or apparent terrain limit of FlowScape

This coaching group is for you if …

1. You want to create detailed natural scenes without technical barriers.
2. You feel frustrated with taking a long time to create a scene.
3. You struggle with 3D terminology

We’ve discovered that quite a few artists might buy the FlowScape license, which is inexpensive – but leave it on the shelf or just use it a few times before putting it to one side.

From our previous live coaching programs we know that some students achieve so much more by working in a close-knit group with live training. They end up using the complete potential of the software and use it on a more regular basis.

It is motivating to :-

This course is for you if you want to accomplish:

  1. A complete knowledge of FlowScape – found all in one place.
  2. Better control for editing terrains.
  3. Improved placement of assets in FlowScape
  4. Ridding the typical niggles experienced when using FlowScape
  5. Better control over importing new assets for FlowScape
  6. “Out of the box” thinking for using FlowScape in completely different ways

What other customers are saying…

Working with Paul and Digital Art Live has given me such a fresh approach upon my art. From a friendly and welcoming environment, to a supporting and cohesive set of tutors and support. Going on the Studio Mastery Course was the biggest leap of faith I have taken with regards to artistic endeavours, and I do not regret a single moment of it. Paul is a wonderful host and lead for the courses and demonstrates the ability to nurture people of all skill levels and help them blossom into the creative delights that they wish to be. I would pick up another course like this in a heartbeat to continue my journey and growth through the creative landscape of my mind.

My experience with Esha and your program for learning rigging is beyond phenomenal. I came in with the impression that this was going to be a quick tutorial on how to setup basic technical settings on how to do a basic rig in DAZ Studio. Boy was I wrong! In a good way! Every time we set up a session, I am blown away by how much detail and problem solving Esha’s sessions go into! I would not have imagined the advanced techniques and attention to detail she brings into each session! I’ve heard a few students call this information priceless, and I agree 100%.

The private forums are so full of information! Just reading people’s questions and people’s responses, it’s an invaluable time saver! When I read the questions and their solutions it reminds me, “I would have had to go thru those hiccups myself, and there’s the solution!”. The chat room creates a great sense that you’re not alone, and it gives you a freedom to test things out and get into “trouble”.  I am more than satisfied with this course. It has surpassed my expectations and more! I highly, highly recommend this type of session to anyone!

Course Conclusion

Here’s How it Works

Eight weeks of Support and Training

Each week we’ll have a live webinar meeting (up to 1.5 hours) composed of training , coaching and follow up.

The meeting will be recorded, which will be searchable and include captions (standard and VIP membership only). So if you miss a meeting, or want to go over something again then you’re covered. Basic membership level will include an MP4 recording for each meeting that will not be searchable or captioned.

The topics of these training sessions will be based on the needs of the group. We will share solutions, strategies and techniques to help you get results where you need them.

This is where everyone will share wins, goals, and challenges to get support, accountability, and feedback from the group and guidance from us.

You’ll have opportunities to get a focus just on you and have us as as a  group look over your goals and challenges to help help you leap forward in your creativity.

If needed, I’ll bring in trusted colleagues from my network who are experts in any extra areas we may want to focus on.

Private online forum to interact with the group between lessons

Any time you need some input or encouragement, you can turn to the private forum to connect with other group members, which will be inside the Digital Art Live STUDIO
This extends the benefits of the coaching group beyond the live webinar lessons. (for standard and VIP membership levels only)

When will the Course be Run?

We’ll run the course from April the 2nd until the 21st of May on each Saturday. Each live meeting will be run on Saturdays at 19:00 BST (London) / 11:00 PDT (Los Angeles) / 14:00 EDT (New York)
