Blender Market Product #2 shǎndiàn Jiàn (Lightning Sword Combat Vehicle) Progress

 I'm still waiting for the people at Blender Market to review my Terrain Map Pack 2025. Hopefully, that will return in a day or two with minimal issues to address. I spotted a duplicate word on the front page about a minute after submitting the product, which locks the content until after the review.

While I'm waiting, I continue to build a space vehicle from Orbital Elements. A military vehicle built by one of the Chinese 3FO Jovian settlements. 

Command section (cone and ball) and Mission section (wedge arms)

Mission pods are bristling with ordnance. 

 
I wanted an inflatable bladder-style fuel tank. This was stolen from my earlier model of a Shift Carrier. I like the fabric blisters, but the whole thing is a bit too big.



The fuel bladder and the cargo modules have been shrunk so that they don't add too much bulk to the vehicle.

Midjourney added textures

I fed a render into Midjourney and asked it to give the plain model NASA space vehicle textures. This one came out great! This is the look I'm going for, with maybe a few colour bands and some Chinese labels here and there.

Not my strong suit...

 I knew this was coming. UV-unwrapping and material creation remain very weak skill sets. I really make a horrible mess. I may need to go aw...
