Blender Ice Cream Truck: Model & Animate a Sweet Scene

Learn to model a car trunk using blender: create trunk with cube and rectangle, add wheels with cylinders, apply boolean modifiers, shape details with insert, extrude, and bevel.

Continue building the ice cream truck in Blender by adding and resizing cubes, cylinders, and planes, extruding window faces, applying bevel modifiers, joining parts, and mirroring to assemble the truck.

In this Blender tutorial, model the ice cream truck, add tires and back details, and use solidify, bevel, subdivision surface, and array/loop cuts to shape and duplicate parts.

Create the ice cream model on top of the truck using a UV sphere and cone, add bevel and subdivision surface for melting details, then set up floor and camera.

Decorate Part 1 continues shaping around the ice cream truck in Blender. Use solidify, bevel, and array modifiers, plus extrude, to add awnings, ice cream boxes, and a cash register.

Continue decorating the ice cream truck by adding cone and cup models, applying bevel and array modifiers, shaping chairs and tables with subdivision surface, and arranging them around the truck.

Decorate the Blender ice cream truck by adding cubes and spheres, extruding and beveling faces, using array and subdivision modifiers, and creating lampposts and plant pots for a final scene.

Continue decorating the ice cream truck by adding cube, cylinder, and circle shapes, applying bevel and array modifiers, extruding faces, and adding text and a license plate.

Position and rotate the area lights in Blender to illuminate the ice cream truck, switch render modes, duplicate lights, and focus lighting for the next part.

Create materials for the ice cream truck in Blender using the shader editor, gradient texture, mapping, color ramps, glass with roughness and transmission, and text emission with awning wave textures.

Refine materials on the blender ice cream truck, from chocolate ice cream and cone textures to brick, metal, wood finishes, using principled bsdf, bump nodes, noise textures, and color ramps.

Continue applying materials to the floor, chair, grass, lamp, decoration using noise textures, gradient textures, color ramps, bump nodes, and emission, then switch from Eevee to Cycles to preview.

Master camera-driven animation in blender by setting lens angles, inserting keyframes with I, adjusting scale and frame timing, adding rotation and zoom to reveal ice cream, then previewing before rendering.

Insert keyframes for each model, adjust spacing, and preview the Blender ice cream truck animation to ensure smooth motion before rendering.
