OM3D Vault

Real mentorship sessions and lectures, cut into short clips. You watch me open a mentee's actual file, figure out what's off and talk through the fix. New clips go up every month.

Big thanks to Lukas and Jack for letting me share their sessions.

Car Modeling: Topology Critique and the Hip Bump

With Lukas Allenbaugh (ArtStation)

Unreal Cinematic Cameras: Scale, Thirds and Focal Length

With Jack (his finished render)

Fill, Rim and Color Temperature

Lessons from film, from a lighting lecture

Things mentees asked me

"I just find the blockout to be incredibly boring."
"What is UV padding? I couldn't find a good answer online."
"I spent too much time cleaning up the high poly, making sure it's all quad based."
"It's actually kind of hard to decide what I want to model."

Every one of these gets worked through in the Vault, with the reasoning behind it.

"Clean quad based topology does not matter for your low polys. What matters is the silhouette."

What's inside

15 Clips at Launch

Mentorship sessions and lecture clips, each one on a single topic, from modeling and UVs to lighting

New Clips Every Month

There's a big backlog of mentorship sessions and lectures being cut down, so new clips keep coming

Files and Store Products

Project and source files, modeling captures and scripts, plus everything I sell on Patreon, ArtStation, Sketchfab and Gumroad

A few of the downloads

Datsun 240Z Resto Mod

The full SubD car model with a detailed interior, UVs and opening doors. Maya, Blender, FBX and OBJ files.

AGL Long Colt Revolver

A game-ready low poly and a SubD high poly, with the Blender scene, Substance Painter file and 4K PBR textures.

Mandalorian Helmet Capture

Three hours of real-time capture modeling the helmet in Maya. The workflow carries over to any software.

Who it's for

These are recordings of real sessions, not scripted tutorials. You'll hear mentees ask questions, and some clips start mid-conversation. That's kind of the point. You get to see how a problem actually gets worked out.

You know the basics and want to see how decisions get made on real projects
You're stuck on something specific, like topology, baking or lighting, and want to watch it get solved

It isn't a step-by-step course. If you want a structured path from the start, the Modeling and Topology Masterclass and the Game Art Program are built for that.

"Don't be too scared to just remodel it sometimes. It'll actually go faster the second time."

The 15 launch clips

Mostly Blender, Maya with Arnold and Unreal Engine, with some Substance Painter. They cover modeling, topology, UVs, baking, texture planning, lighting, cameras and color grading.
