Learn 3D modeling by creating a Futurama Style Spaceship

Requirements

• Download Blender 2.8 (available for free)
• A 3 button mouse would be great bot not necessary
• Excitement and Imagination

This project will cover the basics you need to get started like the interface, modeling, and some materials, but won’t cover so much that you feel overwhelmed. Don’t worry I didn’t forget to make it fun either. Instead of doing just any model we’re going to make a spaceship inspired by Futurama’s Planet Express Ship. As a bonus, you’re going to learn how to make your model look like the 2D version from the show. This is a really awesome skill because you can still light and position the model the same as you would in a 3D scene, yet the finished product looks like you drew it. Your Friends are going to say WOOOW, you drew that? To which you can say, kinda.

Who this course is for:

• Beginner 3D modellers eager to learn how to do a cartoon-style spaceship.
• Artists who want to learn to bring their work into the 3rd dimension
• Game developers who wish to expand their skill set to making game assets
