Done with this for the moment I think. Got a couple of days work for clients to do, so I'll just let this percolate somewhere at the back of my mind.

Progress on #HangarBay73…

Just followed a YouTube tutorial on how to create a slightly knackered, dirty, glass texture in Blender.

Looks fine. Absolutely no idea how or why. It's not really a tutorial if its just "…add a colour ramp, no add a mixer, now add a light path…".

Now turning things off and on, to figure out 'why' it worked.

Might be making a rod for my own back here, but I think the next thing I try to build in Blender, might be a Star Wars spaceship dock - like Docking Bay 94 from ANH. Or Peli Motto's Hangar 3-5 from The Mandalorian.

I will, of course, have to design a SW ship to go in it.

@eldritch48 Hey Seth, complete Blender noob question - why/how are different elements different colours when you're building? Thanks!

The 'Kuiper Belle' touches down on Enceladus, with supplies for the Herschel Outpost.

Could do with a name for this. Scrap/salvage ship. Ex asteroid mining vessel. Plying its trade between Ceres and Mars.

How much time should I spend modelling a landing gear on a spaceship? Rhetorical question. Especially if your answer is less than an hour.

thisnorthernboy, 22 days ago to scifi

Scrapper Ship. A repurposed asteroid mining vessel, with lasers still in place. Now home to a single crew member, scraping a living between Ceres and Mars.

Scrapper Ship. Work in progress.

When I started messing around in Blender, I never thought, for one second, I'd get to the point where I was taking time to model a latch mechanism on a hatch on a spaceship.

You really do get sucked in.

A couple of reasons I started to try and learn Blender (again)…

I thought not being able to draw my ships in 3 dimensions, was really holding me back. Building simple models to help this seemed like a good idea.

A lot of my clients pass my drawings on to 3D artists to model. So there's a possibility of tapping in to that and providing clients with models directly.

Latest bit of Blender practice. A support vessel, based on a sketch from a while ago.

#b3d #Spaceship #SciFi

Blender 3D render of a spaceship. Long, vaguely half cylindrical - the bottom is flat but covered in engines and greebles. At the back a couple of sensor domes sit above the engine nozzle. The main spaceship is a mix of cream and orange. Underneath glows blue in places. The engines glow red from the heat.

Sketch… Render…

A little Blender model of a space tug. A cylindrical body, with a goldfish bowl style cockpit at the front. Underneath, a yellow cylindrical cargo unit is attached

Glowy!

Just need to work out why the angle of the radiator fins is affecting the output.

Did I just build a simple model of a spaceship to try and learn UV Wrap in Blender? Did I make it way too detailed? Yes I did. Shall I practice on a simple cylinder first? Yes I shall.

Progress. Lot's still unfinished, plenty to fix, lots more to figure out.

When you're learning something new, it's sometimes the littlest things that can give you the greatest thrill.

Adding glowing lights to a spaceship model in Blender.

Just takes me back to the joy of the cool Space Lego kits that would sometimes come with lights.
