This is an evolution of the Carol Channing model I created back in the day. The original suffered from the shortcomings of being a physical model built on a super-tight deadline and budget. But what if I designed and built it today, using CG technology that wasn’t available at the time? This tramp freighter is what it might look like.
I created the geometry in Autodesk Fusion 360, and textured it in Adobe Substance Painter. Some of the background elements in these renders came from Midjourney AI image generator.
Once the render model was complete, I went on to adapt it to be a physical 3D printable model kit. I created the printable geometry in Autodesk Fusion 360.
