1962 C-10

I wanted to make a truck since my friend loved this truck. I also wanted to see how far my current knowledge of 3D modeling would take me in this personal project.

Supplies

You will need any 3D modeling software and a 3D printer

Step 1: Idea

The idea was to model the image since my friend loved this truck. I needed to know what I was going to do and where to start.

Step 2: Research

I need to see what the body would look like and how big I would like it. In addition, I would also need to know what parts of the truck will need to have detail.

Step 3: Starting

I need to sketch an image of the C-10 to have the size and body correct. Then extrude all the sides so that I would have the sides that have the same size would be together.

Step 4: Modeling

Since I have a boxy outline of the truck. I would need to add some details so the truck is not as bland. I added headlights, grills, and windows in the model by adding an image to trace and then extrude.

Step 5: Detailing

Adding the name of the truck and air vents to the engine. The name was added to the grill and air vents were added to a flat spot so the sketch would match. After all the prepping, I extruded what was need to be extruded to create the name and the air vent.

Step 6: Smoothing

For all the edges I would like to have smooth to my preference. I smoothed out the sides of the whole truck so it would have a nice feel when you rub your fingers around. The tool used to create that would be called something like fillet or chafer. Then the 1962 C-10 truck is finished.
