Create Weekly Drill Project

Winner

SpaceX Crew Dragon
For this week’s drill I have created spacex crew dragon. Took image reference and tried to recreate it. Modelling is done in Maya, Textured in substance painter and Rendered in Arnold.

Second Place

#WeeklyDrills 013 - Quantum Engine Hard Surface Model
For my first drill submission I created a Quantum Drive Engine inspired by real rocket technology and some imagination. Modeled and textured in a week, the asset is game ready with blueprints for thruster movement and particle trigger.

Third Place

#WeeklyDrills 013 - Rocket Thruster
For this week’s drill, I created a rocket thruster. I used some photos of thrusters as reference but ultimately I decided to just have fun and added some details that aren’t realistic. I used Maya to model, Substance Painter to texture, Arnold to render, and Nuke to polish the raw images.

F.A.Q
