Ryan (Owner) and Sean (Director of Development) of Heleus here! We are looking to start streaming more D&D content, and have several plans in the works. Right now we have a Curse of Strahd live stream every Sunday that is a couple sessions in. But most notably, we wanted to inform you all that we have started a live class series called Visceral Storytelling, which covers a widespread amount of topics for D&D and 3D Modeling, and we’d like to invite you all to come be a part of it!
Essentially what we’re doing is breaking down D&D into its component elements, discussing each of them individually and in depth, and then following up by bringing those concepts or elements to life with 3D Modeling and Animation.
As an example: Our very next class will be held this Wednesday, September 1st at 7 PM EST, and is on D&D character creation, where Sean (who is heading up the D&D side of things) will discuss what’s involved in creating a well balanced character, as well as what steps to take and what details to sort through, while attempting to develop a detailed, convincing, and intriguing backstory for your character.
After this, Ryan will be taking the character created during the previous class, and showing how to efficiently translate that character into a lifelike 3D model. This will include, base modeling, detailing, hair design, clothing design, and texturing, as well as talking about some of the nuances and clarifying some of the concepts that confused him when he first started modeling and animating.
This class will probably happen every Wednesday at 7PM EST, and will most likely last upwards of a year. The goal is to help our attendees, whether they be players or DM’s, develop a deeper appreciation for world creation, and ultimately create incredible, intriguing, and visceral stories.
The class is completely free of charge for anyone who watches or attends live! Most likely, the finished product will be compiled into a course and uploaded to Udemy, but portions of the finished course edits will be made available for free via our YouTube channel.
So if this interests you, or portions of it interest you, feel free to either watch live, via our YouTube channel linked below, or participate in the live class as a part of the stream and ask questions, via the Discord link, also included below.
