Plasticity Tutorial #34 | Modeling a Y2K Pager with Keychain

Details

Description

In this Plasticity modeling tutorial, we’ll create a retro-inspired Y2K pager from scratch.
This beginner-friendly project includes modeling the main pager body, adding a small carabiner, and preparing the asset for rendering.
We’ll export the model to Blender, apply materials, set up lighting, and achieve a polished final presentation.

Perfect for anyone who wants to practice hard surface modeling and learn how to combine Plasticity with Blender for quick, clean results.
