Description:

Join our one-day Blender intensive, “Sci‑Fi Landing Gear & Deployment Systems,” where you’ll learn to design and model fully articulated, 3D‑printable landing gear for your spacecraft! Starting with core hard‑surface modeling techniques in Blender, you’ll build robust telescoping struts, shock‑absorbing mechanisms, and folding leg assemblies—all engineered with real‑world movement and structural integrity in mind.

The afternoon focuses on 3D‑printability: you’ll refine your models with proper tolerances, design living hinges and locking pins, and optimize geometries for support‑free printing, ensuring your landing gear isn’t just visually striking but also fully functional and ready to bring to life on any FDM or resin printer. Leave with a complete, articulated landing gear assembly, a custom texture set, and the skills to tackle any mechanical sci‑fi prop with confidence.

You Will Learn:

• Fundamental concepts of Blender 3D modeling specific to sci-fi themes
• Techniques for creating detailed landing gear and deployment system components
• Applying modular design principles for complex sci-fi machinery
• Texturing and shading futuristic materials for realistic deployment systems
• Rigging and animating landing gear for smooth deployment and retraction
• Incorporating mechanical and technological details to enhance realism
• Using reference images and concept art to inform accurate designs
• Exporting and preparing models for animation, rendering, or game engines

Join us and unlock your creativity in the captivating realm of 3D design!
