Kudu's Ringblade speeder

This project was primarily to try out Substance 3D Modeler with hard surfaces in VR, but I used the opportunity to create a sci-fi vehicle for Kudu (the main character of my course The Extra Mile). The sculpt of the 'ringblade' speeder is not super detailed because it was intended to be used in a wide-shot like the main render from the side, but with the help of the textures, it doesn't look too bad in closeups.

In case you are curious the speeder is a single texture set at 4K. If you want more info about the TEM course, here is the link:

I made the 'Ringblade' specifically for the wide shot so the asset is not 100% polished for a closeup but from this angle is not too bad
