A quick experiment (edit: now a WIP for the [mechanimal challenge](https://blog.sketchfab.com/sketchfab-3d-modeling-challenge-mechanical-animals/) I just discovered!) with hard-surface, and I still have a long way to go !

This model is (more than) based on ["The Timber Beneath"](http://www.scoobasteve.co.nz/2013/01/the-timber-beneath.html), a wonderful sculpture by **Stephen Lambert**.

The different "organs" as well as textures were just randomly thrown around, but with some more practicing, I definitely think I'll start enjoying this style and find a nice designing/modeling/texturing workflow, to hopefully design original models some day.

Also, none of the mechanisms make any "mechanical sense", which is why I did not animate the model. As before, that could change with some more attention brought to details, and a little bit of thinking before acting :D

Mechanical Shark

The Lancia Fulvia coupe is a car released in 1965 and derived from the sedan released in 1963. 
This car is best known for its rally victories  and contributed to the legend of Lancia.
The 3D is based on a 1967 rally version but with some modifications from the restyled versions.

I do all aspects of this project, which allowed me to learn a lot of things:
- Hard surface polygonal modeling, with Shrinkwrap Workflow on Blender
- Texturing with Substance Painter
- Rendering with Blender Eevee and making an animation
- Rendering on Sketchfab, what you can see here
- Video editing with Adobe Premiere.

Unfortunately I can't import my own HDRI in Sketchfab to have the same look between this and Eevee, but it's ok.

Please feel free to download and use it for non-commercial projects !

Whew! Just finished CGmaster's car tutorial for Blender, what an awesome course. If you want to improve at hard surface, I highly recommend it. Because not every car is available on Sketchfab for free! https://cgmasters.net/training-courses/master-car-creation-in-blender/  Sorry I'm sounding like an ad but honestly it's worth it. Rigged with the free Rigacar addon. If you plan to animate this, then be sure to check out their documentation on Youtube.

This car will feature as part of an upcoming BIG animation, so more to come. I'm planning on posting project files here so give me a follow if you're inclined. I'll continue to post free models as long as it remains fun :)

Corvette Stingray

This is a high-quality 3D model of a sci-fi combat soldier, fully equipped with futuristic tactical gear and detailed armor. Featuring PBR textures, realistic material definition, and advanced hard-surface design, this character is perfect for use in games, cinematics, or concept art.

The model includes a detailed helmet with sensors and antenna, modular armor plates, and a full-body tactical outfit with tech-enhanced details. Inspired by a mix of military realism and science fiction, this trooper could fit into a near-future battlefield or a galactic conflict.

🛠️ Features:

Fully textured with PBR maps (Albedo, Normal, Roughness, etc.)

Game-ready topology

Realistic sci-fi gear: helmet, radio module, utility vest, leg armor

Rigged and posed in T-pose (if applicable)

Ideal for FPS games, cinematic cutscenes, or VR environments

🎮 Recommended For:
Sci-fi shooters, strategy games, VR training simulations, or cinematic animation projects.

Sci-Fi Soldier / Futuristic Combat Trooper

A dark knight, inspired by "Dark Souls" and "The Lord Of The Rings". 
My focus with this project was to practise hard-surface modeling along with some animal study.

The groundstuff was made by using megascans.

The Dark Wraith

Hello guys! This is a simple sci-fi interior room. Refreshing myself with some hard surface modelling in blender. Hope you like it.

Sci-Fi Interior Room

**SCI-FI ENTRANCE **

**4K PBR TEXTURE FLOOR **

**4K PBR TEXTURE GATE**

**DIMENSION: **       LENGTH:2516         WIDTH:3260      HEIGHT:830

**POLYGON COUNTS:** 4606 faces   4847 vertices

As a hard surface artist,  I really enjoy creating a small piece of environment with lots of details.creating this sci-fi entrance  was a hell of a fun this one is apocalypse version with no animtion and no emmisive an no light. full version with holograms and animation will be availbale in the store . i really hope you like this model cheers;)

SCI-FI ENTRANCE APOCALYPSE

I'm currently following an hard surface modelling course of Elementza for in Maya.

This motor helmet was one of the objects I made and at the moment my favorite from all the models I learned making during the course.

The modelling and unwrapping was done through Maya and after that textured in Adobe Substance 3D Painter.

If you'd want to **hire me for freelance work**, please contact me on Discord (*@lukav2010*) or by email (*outlawgameshq@gmail.com*). I'm able to model anything in the hard surface modeling category. Guns, Cars, Buildings, etc.

I'm able to game-optimize and texture models at AAA level. 
I charge €16/hour, or a one-time payment for the entire project can be discussed.

McLaren MP4/4 1978

Another personal project to improve my hard surface skills and learn some new techniques. After a long-standing debate between me and a few of my friends, if the falcon can actually be called a cargo ship (when all the interior space we were shown is full of benches, chessboards and capes), I tried to build what a cargo ship in this class could actually look like. What I came up with is the YTS-27 light freighter. I imagined this ship as a Joint Venture between Latero Spaceworks and the Corellian Engineering Corporation, taking design clues from the praying Mantis from Jedi: Fallen Order and corellian vessels like the CR90 and, of course, the Millennium Falcon. This particular YTS-27 light freighter was named after its first owner, a Kowakian monkey-lizard, who was barely smart enough to "maneuver" it off the landing pad. After extensive repairs and a good cleaning of the cockpit, it now has a far more capable pilot.

THE INTRUDER XB982 FROM
VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS (2017)
WIDTH: 75 m
LENGTH: 72 m
HIGHT: 18 m

This is my version of hard surface modeling, NO UV mapping for the details. every hull plate, greeble, vent, scratch and dent are meticulously meshed to the surface. and i mean *into* the surface! this whole complicated thing is ONE SHELL. A hermetically sealed one piece 3d printable STL model. Normally this leads to stupidly high poly counts, how ever i managed to keep the thing down to a 12 meg, 251,968 polygon STL file.

This is a pretty darned accurate rendition of the CGI ship as seen in the movie, small liberties were taken in the name of the low poly Gods. the movie model obviously using huge UVs and surface detailing maps.

I made this thing as a public domain project, so unless the movie owners eventual try and copyright the design, not easy as the design is quite closely based on the 50 year old French comic series. she should be free for use.

Here is the final part to my anatomy study project. I really wanted to also explore some hard surface sculpting as well, and experiment with certain special effects. Hope you enjoy!

This is the model I created for educational and showcase purposes in my ship design mindflow video using Zbrush hard surface modeling techniques. This is an exemplary decimated version.  You can view the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZ8CDrkTedI

Thank you!  :)

A personal project about learning Houdini and procedural modeling.

Back when I first started learning hard surface modeling, I remember struggling when making  Picatinny rails haha.

Now I am back for redemption and can generate any Picatinny rail I want, both a high poly and low poly! Slap a smart material on it in substance and this is the result!
These 5 were made using the tool but many more variations are possible.

Hope you enjoy!

Art station and minor breakdown of the Houdini project itself coming soon :)
