Description

In this course, you’ll learn how to model a simple but versatile truck inside Plasticity, a modern CAD program designed for artists and designers. Starting from the basics, I’ll guide you step by step through the workflow of building a clean, functional truck model, showing you how to control shapes with precision while keeping the process intuitive. Along the way, you’ll explore how to create different variations of the truck, experimenting with proportions, design choices, and unique details to make each version stand out.

You’ll also gain a deeper understanding of CAD fundamentals, such as working with curves, fillets, and boolean operations, while applying them in a practical and creative way. The course emphasizes not only technical skills but also how to think like a designer—how to approach a concept, break it down into manageable parts, and bring it to life in 3D. Also covered is quickly applying materials using V-Ray for Max and creating fast renders that make your designs pop.

By the end of this course, you’ll have the confidence to model your own trucks and use the same techniques to create other vehicles and objects. Whether you’re new to Plasticity or looking to expand your CAD modeling skills, this course gives you the tools to design with creativity and precision.
