Sci-Fi Drone Hard Surface Modeling and Rendering Tutorial

Hey tutorial heads, this time we're gonna learn how to create a small but very menacing little droid.

In the 3d modeling portion of this tutorial we will create the basic shapes and try to find interesting design ideas. Afterwards, we will model various kitbash pieces that we can place around our mesh to make the design seem more complex [KITBASH IS INCLUDED]. Then we will render our creation using very basic lighting techniques that you can apply to any renderer of your choosing (Arnold, Keyshot, whatever!). And with some final touch-ups in Photoshop, we will convert our renders into portfolio-ready images!
