Hey guys, for years I wanted to design my own podracer from Star Wars and finally I gave it a try. This is the result. What do you think? ![Podracer_final](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/d/3/0/d30c764b2c0951600485331e70e368711f0fb64f.jpeg) ![Podracer_clay_final](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/3/2/d/32d1622958e7488bd6db3315d0441c9d373e822b.jpeg) ![Podracer_Wireframe_final](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/3/1/3/3137637d0e70b3e587cdc136a43e07c5c167092f.jpeg) ---

I agree with @Stan_Pancakes, great job! Color grading straight from Lucas film! ---

How the?! How did you do texturing? And how did you get the electric effect looking so good? ---

Texturing was done in Substance Painter. Blending some procedurals and grunge Maps with some smart masks. The electric effect was done in in Adobe After Effects. There is a built-in effect called “advanced lightning” which produces remarkable lightning effects in no time. I haven’t found a satisfying solution in blender for creating nice lightning effects yet, so I added it in post. ---
