Blender Modelling and Game Assets - Learning & Tutorial

Mechanical arm and Sci-Fi Crate created for a 3d diorama scene. The original intent of the scene was to build something that I could use to work on my ongoing educational series.

I created the crate first as an introduction to modelling in Blender. The mechanical arm is a more complex model, which I thought would make a fun asset to go through the game asset pipeline in Blender. While I was creating the assets, I also made a decal and trim sheet set, which I planned to use in the larger scene. I already had plans and several requests to do a trimsheet/decals tutorial, so this felt like a good time for this as well.

I managed to get a lot of tutorial content out of this small project, and I am releasing the Blender tutorials today here:

The beginner intro part is completely free, so if you are looking to learn Blender and haven't taken the plunge yet, feel free to check it out! I will be working on the trimsheet/decal tutorial next, so keep an eye out for that as well.
