Practical Sci-Fi Design

Looking to level up your 3D modeling skills with a sci-fi design focus? This course is designed for beginner to intermediate 3D artists eager to create compelling sci-fi props!

This step-by-step course guides you through a series of projects, building your confidence from simple to complex designs. Learn to transform everyday objects into sleek, futuristic creations. We'll take common items like thermoses, crates, shovels, helmets, concrete barriers, medkits, glasses, traffic cones, coolers, and game consoles and give them a distinctive sci-fi makeover.

You'll gain proficiency in industry-standard software including 3D Studio Max, V-Ray, and Plasticity. Discover fast design techniques, including the efficient auto-crease workflow in 3D Max.

But that's not all! Master procedural materials in V-Ray, allowing you to instantly add intricate detail, damage, and grime to your models – without the time-consuming UV unwrapping process or needing to use Substance Painter. We'll leverage V-Ray decals for quick and easy addition of stickers and logos.

Furthermore, learn to easily render your scenes and apply post-processing effects, volume lights, and lens effects directly within 3D Max, eliminating the need for external programs like Photoshop. 3D Studio Max and V-Ray provide everything you need to bring your visions to life.
