Project Overview

SpaceX’s Starship is the world’s biggest, most powerful rocket ever built and flown.

The goal of this project was to be able to make a realistic and detailed model of not just the (version 1) Ship and Booster, but also the launch site, tower, launch mount, and other related assets.

This project was a learning curve, as I learnt a lot of modeling and texturing techniques over the course of making these models.

I will say that while these models were not modeled in the best possible way, and are not as accurate as what I might be able to do today, they were still able to look detailed and realistic enough to create several detailed (even closeup) renders.

As time went on, I slowly added new features and remodeled certain parts, which made the model look better, but in modeling terms kind of jankly.

I was also able to experiment with making some smoke and fire simulations that actually turned out to be a bit too low of quality that I expected.

I made not only the infrastructure and vehicle assets, but also a terrain model for Starbase, along with an ocean shader.

Regardless, this still taught me a lot of important lessons I will keep in mind for future models, and I'm really proud of how they turned out, as it made for plenty of pretty renders!
