Lesson 2
Modeling Fundamentals
This lesson will be all about getting comfortable in your 3D software. You'll go over UI, tools and useful concepts before building your own kit of small details which can be added to your vehicle design in the next lesson.
Note: Pablo focuses on ZBrush in this course, but the overarching concepts he covers can be applied to any 3D software. Pay attention to how each idea might apply to your own technique, and adapt it to work for your personal style. After all, great artists aren't defined by their tools!

Lesson 3
Design in 3D
Now that you're familiar with your 3D software, you'll begin building your vehicle. First you'll block out its shapes using very simple geometry, then you'll fill those shapes in with more and more detail. Now is the time to utilize those InsertMeshes you created in the previous lesson, so keep them in mind when adding details- they can greatly speed up your workflow. Finally you will create a turntable in your 3D software, so you can show off your model from every angle.
