Overview of this book

Blender is a massively popular and powerful 3D program, with versatile modeling abilities that make it a great way to enter the 3D modelling world. Blender 3D Incredible Models is an extensive guide for those new to hard-surface modeling with Blender, helping you understand the complete range of tools and features it offers and how to employ those efficiently to create realistic models. You’ll be led through progressively more challenging modeling projects— from an assault rifle and an army tank to a sci-fi spaceship model—giving you a glimpse of all the skills you’d need in Blender’s vast ecosystem of features and functionality, ranging from textures, rendering, and UV mapping to lighting, rigging, and beyond. Each engaging project builds upon the last until you’re equipped with everything you need to tackle your own modeling challenges, whatever they may be. By the end of this Blender book, you won’t just know how to create the models covered here, but you’ll be able to turn your own concepts and references into 3D Blender models too!

  1. At the bottom of the rear, create a long cube with two loop cuts.

  1. Scale the two outer-face loops to make them wider than the middle. You can also expand them with Alt + S.

  1. Bevel some of the edges to create a shape like the one shown in Figure 8.61.

  1. Add a plane and reshape it to cover the rear of the tank. It should look something like Figure 8.62. Feel free to add some details,...
