What is the product I am selling ?
A Dalek, the second version and the one they used throughout the original classic run. This version had a number of colour variations, but for this downloadable version, is based on the colors used in the 1960s. Color variations used during the 1970s and 1980s will be uploaded in early 2024, continuing the show's 60th anniversary.
Why did I do this model ?
As a fan of Doctor Who since 2005, I love many aspects of the series, be that The Doctor, VFX, and the monsters. With its 60th Birthday (23rd November), I wanted to celebrate by doing a number of 3D models including a number of variations of the Daleks as seen here with the 2nd Dalek design used from the late 1960s to the 1980s.
I strongly believe fans of the series who are looking to work on their own Doctor Who projects, will be happy and pleased with this 3D Dalek, that they return for other related models I will upload in 2024.
How the file works
Within the downloadable folder, I have included two different blender files. One of these files (Procedural_Texturing_Dalek_1960s_1980s_Version_02) all the textures/materials are included, using a wide variety of procedural nodes. For those unfamiliar with this, it means you will be able to modify any node, specifically the look, style and layout of any material/texture, thus allowing you to make changes to suit your own preferred taste/style specific to your own project needs. This Blender file will suit any level of experience as the node layout is quite simple and easy to follow.
However, for those who want the ease and comfort of downloading the file without worrying about making changes, all the textures are baked as .png files. This can be found under the Blender File (Dalek_1960s_1980s_Version_02). To use correctly just link texture ZIP files, (all included in the Texture Folder/zip file), and link them in Blender or your own 3D program.
All the components (for both files) are parented to an Empty (located at the bottom of the skirt) which will allow you as the user, to move the Dalek around either for animation or static imagery. As a bonus, the eye stalk, laser and plunger can be moved in any direction with their respective pivot points located at their ends. This model is not rigged.
