Assembly
Lesson 6 of 9 Concept Design in Fusion
Now it’s time to take all the assets created in the previous lesson and apply them to your main hero asset, layering in detail as you go.
Organization Homework
To prepare for the assembly stage, take some time to clean up your Fusion file and get your model organized.
Assembly First Pass Homework
Begin adding in the small detail pieces you created in the previous lesson onto your main hero asset. Once you’ve layered in a good amount of detail, take some time to clean up your project once again. It’s important to keep on top of the project complexity as you add in more and more pieces.
Final Details Homework
Add in any final kitbash assets onto your model, as well as any last-minute details needed to finish the Fusion portion of the design. If needed, you can also rig any moving elements during this stage.
