Sci-Fi & Product 3D Modeling Course by Nikita Kapustin

This course is a focused, project-based guide to Plasticity for anyone wanting to blend sci-fi and product design. You’ll build four distinct models, each one introducing new workflows and techniques. No fluff, just practical steps to get you from a basic understanding to creating complex, portfolio-ready assets.

🎯 What you’ll learn

• Master the core modeling tools and workflows in Plasticity.
• Create hard-surface sci-fi props and detailed product concepts.
• Apply advanced techniques like lofting and surfacing for complex shapes.
• Replicate a real-world professional product (DJI Mavic Pro 3 camera module).

✅ Requirements

• Skills: Basic understanding of Plasticity’s interface and navigation.
• Tools: A 3-button mouse with a scroll wheel.
• Hardware: A computer capable of running Plasticity (Indie license or higher, version 1.2+).

📝 Description

This course skips the repetitive basics and throws you straight into real projects. You start with a simple sci-fi prop to get comfortable, then ramp up to a detailed grenade that forces you to combine different modeling approaches. The real challenge comes with the drone, where you’ll tackle lofting and surfacing—techniques that sound intimidating but are broken down into clear, manageable steps.

The standout bonus is the final module: recreating the DJI Mavic Pro 3 camera module. This isn’t just a theoretical exercise; it’s a practical lesson in precision modeling and replicating real-world geometry. You’ll then integrate that module into your drone, creating a single, impressive final asset. Every action is explained, not just shown, so you understand the why behind the workflow. You get all project files, OBJ exports, and reference images to follow along.

🧑‍🎓 Who this course is for

• 3D artists and hobbyists looking to specialize in hard-surface and product modeling.
• Designers who want to add a powerful, non-destructive CAD tool to their pipeline.
• Anyone with a basic grasp of Plasticity who wants to level up with structured, project-based learning.
