My latest Blender project “The Sea Angel”: an industrial submersible on a mission in the abyss.
This submarine is designed with a retro-futuristic aesthetic, heavily inspired by mid-century military hardware and Vietnam-era aviation.
I wanted to capture the “lived-in” feel of that era, specifically focusing on the vintage nose art culture. The inclusion of pin-up decals and hand-painted style markings is a nod to the pilots who used to personalize their aircraft, adding a human touch to a rugged, industrial machine.
The modeling was done using Fluent Power Trip, which allowed for a very efficient hard-surface process. For the shaders, I used Fluent Materializer to layer the wear and tear, giving the submersible its weathered, veteran appearance.
