I started the Blender Environment Artist course this week and I’m really happy I did - learning how to use textures and shaders is something I really need to dig into. To nail it all down, I thought I’d do a side project as well, something I’ve been wanting to do for a while - there’s a long way to go still, but I’m loving the shader editor right now. I’ll update with pics along the way 
Behold, Mall Rocket!

Coming along nicely, but the day just flew by. The only hassle I’ve had so far is trying to use the Array with a curve to get the studs on the seat back in a circle - no matter what I tried I couldn’t get it to pick up the circle/empty as the target object. At least doing them by hand makes them look a little irregular and… hand made
A few more details, some lights, a mall plant maybe and then a kid…

Someone in the community on discord provided some pointers.

Geez Ray, that took all of five seconds for me to do, thank you for this!! Not quite as easy as Illustrator but at least it works!
What course? Rabbit holes of course!
Blender secrets is the way to go. I bought his eBook. Worth every cent.
Blender Environment Artist is next. I’m back to the Ogre course.

Mall plant pot done, plant to come tomorrow. Maybe a kid…
