3D Tutorial | Sci-Fi Box Design in Blender

In this Blender tutorial, Fox Renderfarm—a well-known Blender render farm and cloud rendering service provider in the computer graphics industry—will offer a Blender design lesson for making a sci-fi box.

Design Composition

We will start by taking a basic rectangular shape and creating some basic design cuts. After comparing different options, we have selected the sixth design as the one to work on.

Texturing Process

The texturing process usually requires quite some time and therefore, you need to be relatively patient with it.

Next, we will create the desired material for our design.

Decal Detail

We will then add decals, screw holes, and other small sci-fi mechanical details to greatly enhance the design.

We will use two plugins, Decalmachine and KitOps, to add various intricate details to our box design.

Lighting and Rendering

We will use the 3-point lighting technique, which includes the main light, the rim light, and the backlight, to illuminate our designed box.

Here, we will utilize Blender's built-in Cycles rendering engine to render the final product.

The above is the main content of this tutorial, we hope it is helpful to you. If you want to improve the rendering speed of Blender, you can try using cloud rendering services, such as Fox Renderfarm, to speed up the rendering process of your Blender projects.
