Creating a Spaceship in Blender: A Mini-Course

This mini-course is designed to show users how to create a hyper-detailed spaceship using Blender's microdisplacement and some greebles. You can create your own spacecraft with or without the suggested addons. There's a Table of Contents at the bottom of the Description. To download the scene file, just join my Patreon for $1 and you will also receive a KPACK with the greebles and the the materials, as well as a SYNTH greeble recipe (use KIT OPS PRO or KIT OPS FREE). https://patreon.com/chippwalters Products mentioned in this video: K-Cycles: https://blendermarket.com/products/k-cycles?ref=295 Shape Generator and Plating Generator: https://blendermarket.com/creators/mark-kingsnorth?ref=295 KIT OPS SYNTH: https://blendermarket.com/products/kit-ops-synth https://gumroad.com/l/kitopssynth KIT OPS PRO: https://blendermarket.com/products/kit-ops-pro-asset--kitbashing-addon https://gumroad.com/l/kitopspro KIT OPS FREE: https://gumroad.com/l/kitops https://blendermarket.com/products/kit-ops-free Displacement Guide: http://cw1.me/displacement JSplacement: https://windmillart.net/?p=jsplacement TABLE OF CONTENTS 00:00 - Start 01:40 - Introduction 01:57 - K-Cycles 02:31 - Preview Spaceship Construction 03:00 - Displacement Explained 04:00 - Displacement E-Guide 04:46 - Shape and Plating Generators 05:25 - JSplacement 08:25 - Create the Spaceship shape 09:58 - Scaling the Spaceship 10:16 - Generate Plates on Spaceship 11:30 - Bump Material 14:03 - Displacement Material 16:25 - Troubleshooting Microdisplacement 16:48 - Adding Materials to the Spaceship 17:41 - Apply modifiers 17:56 - Using Materials with UV Maps 18:57 - Setting up Displacement on Ship 20:56 - Set faces for Greebles 21:20 - Creating Corridor in SYNTH 22:53 - Adding the Corridor with KIT OPS 24:30 - Greeble Placement Faces 25:15 - Creating Solar Dust Shield 26:07 - Adding Bump Material 27:23 - Use SYNTH to create Greebles 29:43 - Displacement Viewport Tips 30:25 - Adding Bevel to Ship Edges 30:46 - Viewport considerations 32:01 - Scene Setup
