Nomad Sculpt Beginner Series: Kodomo-no-Hi Mini-Shop in Nomad Sculpt Part 2

🏮 Part 2 – Sculpting the Tiled Roof & Wood Trim (Kodomo-no-Hi Mini-Shop)
In this episode we tackle the trickiest, most technical chunk of the diorama—the curved ceramic roof and its wooden support boards. You’ll see how to squeeze maximum detail out of Nomad’s Tube + Array combo, build custom tile profiles, and finish with lightweight wood grain textures that won’t bloat your file size.

What you’ll learn

Step Skills covered
Tube profiles 101 - Designing repeatable roof-tile shapes with the Profile editor
40° barrel-tile angle - Snapping, 5-degree increments & keeping symmetry honest
Array modifier magic - Duplicating inner & outer rows, aligning gaps with sub-tiles
End-cap ornaments - Creating mirrored left/right end-tiles with dedicated presets
Low-poly wood planks - Box remesh, roughness/normal maps, emissive tint for grain pop
Texture scale & UV reset - Fix stretched maps via re-remesh and live material adjustments
Grouping & instancing - Wrapping the whole roof in one tidy folder for easy moves
