Making a Sci-Fi Bench in Blender (Just for Fun)

I recently spent a few evenings experimenting in Blender, trying to design something that could exist inside a sci-fi world — a simple “maintenance bench” inspired by real workshop equipment.

Nothing professional here, just a small side project to learn more about hard-surface modeling, lighting, and materials. I focused on clean geometry, cold light tones, and that mix of realism and fantasy that makes sci-fi design interesting.

The mechanical structure you see in the render is actually based on a real handcrafted design from my small workshop in Italy. It’s a fun way to connect digital imagination with real-world craft.

If you’d like to see the 3D version and read a short breakdown of the process, I wrote about it here:
