Blender 3D Incredible Machines – eBook

Blender 3D is one of the topmost pieces of 3D animation software. Machine modeling is an important aspect of war games, racing games, space games, and animated action films. As the Blender software grows more popular and powerful, there is a demand to take your modeling skills to the next level. This ebook will cover all the topics you need to create professional models and renders.

Blender 3D Incredible Machines (PDF) will help you develop a broad skill set that covers the main aspects of mechanical modeling. Through this ebook, you will create many types of projects, including a pistol, robot, spacecraft, and a racer. We begin by making a Sci-fi pistol, creating its simple shape, and adding details to it. Moving on, you’ll find modeling techniques for larger objects such as a spacecraft and take a look at how different techniques are needed for freestyle modeling.

After this, we’ll make the basic shapes for the robot and merge the meshes to create unified objects. We’ll assign materials and search the various options for freestyle rendering. We’ll discuss methods to build low-poly models, create a low-poly racer, and explain how they differ from the high poly models we created earlier.

By the end of this ebook, you will have mastered a workflow that you will be able to deploy to your own creations.
