Initial Modeling
Lesson 3 of 9 Concept Design in Fusion
In this lesson you’ll begin blocking out your hero asset, adding in the largest and most important shapes to give it personality.
Blockout Homework
Create the initial blockout for your hero asset, the main project you plan to work on during the course. Focus on major features and large shapes.
Keep in mind that you don’t need to create something that looks like Ivan’s design. You don’t have to create a vehicle at all! This is a course about design, and you are free to design whatever you are interested in.
Initial Modeling Homework
Working from your blockout, begin to add some of the most important large shapes. These don’t need to be highly detailed, but should read from a distance.
