Hi! Below is an Ice Cream Van based on the 1973 Bedford model.
It is the main focal asset for a 3D scene I am working on however I decided to first make it standalone by theming it more generic.
The new 3D scene centers around a family of polar bears that have travelled to a colony of penguins to sell them some “ice cream”.
When I import it into my polar scene I will update it to feel more like a family of polar bears have been living in it!
I filled the van with lots of props and hand drawn decals to give it a little bit of personality here are some of the textures I created with Procreate:
I used 3 textures from https://cc0-textures.com/ one for leather , a wire mesh and subtle surface imperfections for the paint.
Environment texture is Snowy Cemetry from Poly Haven .
Everything other than the textures above were made in Blender and rendered with Cycles.
Renders:
and the same renders in clay:
I look forward to starting on the rest of the scene and I will make sure to share how that goes!
Thanks,

I really did
There were probably at least 3 points I could have just stopped based on what I was making it for, but I just couldnt let it go!

I’m in love with this model! Looks almost identical to the one that used to turn up outside my nans house when I was a kid!
Would you ever consider selling the model and the rights to use it in a small indie video game I’m working on?
I love it
