Gumroad Tutorials List

Jeff Parrott

EDIT (3/26/16): This thread got too long to properly edit. Also it was getting a bit unruly. So we've moved it to the Polycount Wiki:

http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Gumroad_Tutorial_List

Please keep posting new gumroads here, any sales you all have, etc. Just my advice but to use your name or company name. Listing a tutorial by X42dogg does not tell the buyer anything about you. That's just my 2 cents though. The list will get updated either way. Even for X42dogg.

There's a ton of great Artists doing gumroad tutorials these days. Here's a list to get started. Feel free to post others that you know of (Some of these fit into multiple categories. I'll do the best I can) and I'll add them.

Come check out my latest tutorial on 3D Creature Modeling for Production!

https://gumroad.com/chungkan

In this tutorial you will learn how to model and sculpt a 3D creature bust using sculpting and polygonal modeling techniques that are used in a professional production environment in both games and film. Not only will you learn the technical aspects of 3D creature modeling/sculpting but also my approach to creative design.

Thanks so much for sharing this. Absolutely what I was looking for.

Hi Guys,

Here's a tutorial i just finished. It starts with a sketch and cover how to paint and and control photo bash, as well as a tips and tricks video where I cover the techniques used and a few others. Both videos with voice narration.

Im confused from the video it looks like your just pasting source images together or do you actually paint ?

He mentions in that post that he covers how to paint and photobash, so he's using a combo of techniques.

Looks like a solid tut, I'll check it out when I have time.. so many awesome tutorials in this thread.

Never understood why it's called GumRoad, what does it mean like a slab of gum on a road ?

:poly142:

I think I was trying to sound cool in that interview.

The real answer is (as a comment on the original answer guessed) less interesting: it wasn't copyrighted yet, the domain name was available, and it sounded nice and memorable.

CreativeSheep

I'm not sure what gum has to do with "creativity through color", but there you go.

Exactly what I was, and always have been thinking, even before knowing what it supposedly meant.

For what information you can learn online, there sure came some quirks.

Muzzoid

Think we could get a new section for software ?

https://gumroad.com/l/ColorConstructor

WarrenM

So ... I'm wondering ... Gumroad has an awful interface. Discover-ability is basically non existent and you have to get direct links to actually find anything.

Is anyone making more than pocket change there? Is it worth producing content for it?

Feel free to PM me if you want to share but don't want to do it publicly. I'd appreciate the info.

Muzzoid

Wait awful interface? Are you even looking at the same website, it's by far better than any of it's competition. It's user analytics are amazing, and in terms of publishing it's a ridiculously streamlined system.

The point of Gumroad isn't a market place, it's a store page you can link to other markets. If you want a market place go elsewhere, but expect to pay %30 fees for any marketplace worth your time.

I can't speak for long term profits, but through word of mouth alone i've sold ~300 copies at $7 a pop in about a day.

Make good content people want to pay for and people will come.

Cool, that's the kind of information I'm looking for. So it's for easing commerce, not driving sales directly?

skyline5gtr

Does Gumroad have some kind of search function? This is the one thing i wish

WarrenM

It doesn't. But that makes sense now in the context of they are a commerce site. A way to sell stuff with them only taking 5% of the sale. That's a good trade off, IMO.

ChungKan

Since I've been receiving a lot of technical production questions on the next steps after creating the 3D Creature Bust (https://gumroad.com/l/RQjK), here are two new gumroad tutorials to hopefully give more insight on the process.

https://gumroad.com/chungkan

Finalizing Base Mesh Topology For Production - https://gumroad.com/l/bQFHo



Displacement Map Setup For Production - https://gumroad.com/l/uSHa

DireWolf

Following your Gumroad now Chun Kan! Very, very impressive.

Jeff Parrott

Updated.

Added Pierre Benjamin and software section (awesome btw Muzz!). Rest were already added.

Hiya guys, I've started a new series of creature sculpts from a recent client of mine. In this series I was given a 3 day timeframe for each character since they were being created for an Ipad game called Contact 2320 from Lucidwizard. The client didn't want me to spend tons of time on each character so I decided to record each creature's sculpting and polypainting process to see what I can actually achieve within an 8 hr timeframe. (Time I allocated to myself)

At times I can be a very unorthodox modeler as you'll see in these 8 different alien creatures. In total each model you will see took 3 days from sculpt to real-time model. I hope you enjoy and possibly learn something new.

I decided to make them free with the option to tip if you wanted to be overly generous, but I'm more about sharing my experiences here.

Jeff Parrott

Updated again cause Tito.

Muzzoid

Wow right at the top :O!

Hope I'm not being annoying, but just a correction, my name is spelled Murry, not Murray. Thanks!

Jeff Parrott

Updated for Marray.

Muzzoid

Better than what i sometimes get at cafes anyway.

"I've got a coffee for a MAVI", "Cap for Maria!"

You could just use google, try a search like this:

Thanks to those who downloaded the first video in this series, it's very much appreciated.

I released today the Spy - creature 2 of 8 in my pay what you want (PWYW) series.

Similar description as in my previous post http://www.polycount.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2322802&postcount=392 .

The Spy was very fun to creature, I loved his look and feel white creating it, and I hope you enjoy this new vid.

Hey guys, I'm setting up my Gumroad page now. Should be releasing my first tutorial in a few days, but for now the link is here https://gumroad.com/katmachiavelli/ (I'd fall under concept art) if you want to follow me in the meantime. I wonder though why I can't seem to get the background image to show? I uploaded it and saved the changes, but it doesn't show. Anyone know how to get around this?

Also I've got a Patreon which will include more tutorials and serve as a kind of natural follow-up to the first Gumroad, if you guys are interested. You can follow me there at www.patreon.com/katmachiavelli .

Good stuff Tito, but going from 8hrs to one is 8x and its very very hard to keep up sometimes

What music in first video in sounds familiar but I cannot place it and I love that style

lildragn

Hiya skyline, yeah I hear ya on that, I'm still trying to find a balance with length, anything above an hour feels too long still, but you could slow the speed if you're using VLC or similar.

Thanks for the feedback though, I'll keep looking into balancing it out.

For the tracks check FreeStockMusic.com , I believe the first 5 mins is from them, awesome site.

Cheers!

[edit] Should I break up the video into smaller clips that are half the speed? Would that work?

Jeff Parrott

Updated.

/Added Sakimi and John Wallin. Everyone else was added or had no content.

Im not sure about everyone else but I sit al watch all of it no matter how long. Few series im watching are 8 hrs long, seeing it as you think it helps , id say 2x - 4x is good speed up

I just started up my gumroad, only have one video there yet though with a very very basic modo introduction, but i will add more soon : )

Ok, I'll try that out in the next vid... thx!


Btw, good one Tor! Just followed ya, Maya has its hooks in me, but I'm looking forward to seeing what you add.

Not a tutorial, but I'm selling a pack of high poly models that I used to create my Arch Vis Polish Pack #1 that is selling in the Unity and Unreal marketplaces.

https://gumroad.com/l/avp1

Includes LXO file and a few flavors of FBX files.

Will continue to sell these in the future if this goes well...

Jeff Parrott

Updated.

/Added Noah Bradley, CountDown, Warren Marshall's, and Tor.

I bought Warren's model pack and would just like to say that I'm very impressed with the quality and quantity of the package. Each model is so meticulous, and the use of edge weights and subdivision surfaces is absolutely perfect. It's simple, clean, yet very professional. You can really tell this pack was done by a man who works in games as opposed to your average arch-viz seller -- you don't end up with triangulated or broken models where you basically have to redo the entire pack yourself : ) If anything, these models even teach you proper technique. And the amount of models also surprised me a bit, as there are several more in the pack that are not included in the picture (sprinklers, vents, sensors, keypads... several little things that can be quite nice to have on hand for your architectural detailing). Overall a solid package in my opinion, of things that you generally don't come across that often and at this modeling quality. Thank you, Warren!
