Title: Blender 101 – Blender 221: Hard Surface Modeling

Info:

This is a project-based course where we will create Captain America’s motorcycle from the 2011 movie, “Captain America: The First Avenger.” I have taken photographs of the motorcycle at the Harley-Davidson Museum for use as our reference images. You will not only be introduced to new modeling tools, but you will be shown the techniques and strategies needed to tackle a larger modeling project such as this. In the end we will add materials and textures, as well as light and render the iconic motorcycle.
