Hey Family, Today I’m sharing a steampunk airship I’ve been working on. I really enjoyed every step of the process, and I hope you’ll like the final result!
I started by gathering references on Pinterest to explore different design directions.
At first, I hesitated between using a balloon or going for a pure flying machine with engines and wings. This led me to create an initial version based on that idea.
Later on, I decided to push the concept further. I thought a large balloon could add more character and readability, so I redesigned the upper part with a massive airship balloon, added engines, and introduced more pipes to enhance the steampunk aesthetic.
After modeling, I moved on to UV unwrapping and texturing in Substance Painter. I wanted something a bit unique, so I incorporated subtle Egyptian-inspired elements — just to give it a creative twist.
Finally, I rendered the scene in Blender.
Here you can view the 3D model.
Feedback is welcome!
