Hello and welcome to this CG Cookie tutorial series on hard-surface modeling in Blender.
Through this series I’ll be giving you a complete introduction to modeling hard-surface objects with subdivision surfaces, allowing you to create anything from vehicles, to weapons, to environment props. Learn what you need to know to create all kinds of hard-surface objects by joining Citizen, unlocking the complete series. In this series I’ve chosen a small, stylized airplane as the subject matter, as it provides a great example of hard-surfaces that is fairly simple but also easy to learn.
The plane design is based on artwork and modeling sheets created by Tim Von Rueden at Concept Cookie. I’ll be walking you through the complete modeling process of creating this plane, demonstrating a variety of techniques and tools along the way. Extra add-ons and themes During this series I make frequent use of a custom add-on I developed that helps to speed up the workflow for common tasks. Create Realistic Materials with Cycles.
