In this month’s explainers we’ll use the popular Unity asset ‘uModeler’ to introduce basic 3d modelling tools and techniques to create a simple car model based on the Simpsons ‘Canyonero’ vehicle…
Here’s the ‘original’ Canyonero in action in the Simpsons!:
Here’s what you could go on to create using the powerful uModeler asset!
Over the series of seven explainers, we’ll…
- Install the Unity Hub and Unity LTS
- Create a new Unity project and install the Umodeler asset
- Create a UModeler object and explore the UModeler interface
- Navigate the scene and scale, rotate and move 3D objects
- Create unique shapes by adjusting vertices, edges and faces
- Block out a simple Canyonero-style car model
- Create materials and textures and apply them to the model
Your 3D skills could go on to help in awesome career roles like these:
- Social media and marketing
- Architectural Visualisation (ARCHVIZ)
- 3d modelling
- Animation
- Computer aided design (CAD)
- 3D printing
- Creating teaching and training resources
Once you’ve learnt the basics of UModeler you could go on to use their professional-level UModeler X asset!
The explainer series runs every Tuesday and Thursday until our Canyonero is built and ready to hit the road!
