I never would have thought I was capable of building anything like this. Now for the next part which is the texturing, lighting and rendering. Gonna be a zillion polygons! Thanks Nikita, for such great tutorials! I even made it through the bonus tutorials and came up with my own light design. I will highlight that more in the final renders. I also added some details like a sprocket and chain, and an instrument display, and tried to come up with a bit of a mechanism for the steering.

Is there a space on here for a gallery? for folk to display their work. It'd be cool to see what others are up to :)

I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck with hard surface objects designing them in Plasticity first, and then taking it to Zbrush to sculpt on for high rez wear and tear details, UV'ing the model I guess at some point in-between depending on how much cleanup you need to do on the model after Plasticity to keep Surfaces super cleanl. Ultimately what does a workflow look like for making a low rez and highrez models using Plasticity starting with Zbrush and going to substance painter. And then if its worth it to even use Plasticity or just sub-d model to start with.

I've just installed Blender 4.3 and there seems to be some kind of problem with keyboard response while in Object Mode. Basically Blender doesn't respond to any key presses while in Object mode. The odd thing is that when I switch to Edit Mode the keyboard works just fine. If I switch back to Object mode I don't have a keyboard anymore, which is totally weird. If you've installed 4.3 do you have the same issue? I have reported this as a bug.

I don't know if anyone is interested in this, but MODO has reached end of life and is giving away their product with a 10-year license. Per Pixel Fondue.
