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

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.

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.

Weird Field spaceship progress. I quite like the plastic look of the model without any texture added. Just makes me want to build a kit of it, or make it out of Lego.

The next thing I try and model in Blender, is going to be one of my Weird Field spaceships. Not sure which one yet. If you have a favourite, let me know.

I've started building a little toolkit of WF tech.

It's @nyrath 's fault I think about cooling fins.

Calling this done for the moment. I'll come back to it after I've done a bit more studying.

Pretty happy though, ten days ago I didn't know a single thing about Blender, or 3D in general.

Going to try and model this in Blender next. Very much running before I can walk. But hey, it’ll be fun right? Right?

First cracking at making a spaceship in Blender. Really just playing around with the modelling side of things, while I get used to the controls and shortcuts etc.

If anyone is interested, and is a complete Blender newbie like me, this is the tutorial I'm doing, by Chris Plush on Udemy

It's really VERY good.
