MacBook Pro | My 3D Modeling Process

Welcome to the first video of the "My Process" series. In this video, I will show you my process for making the MacBook Pro M3. You will see how I use reference images to create all the features of the MacBook. This video will not have any commentary, to test your skills a bit more, but as usual, I have included a guide to all the sections below, along with all the shortcuts and tools I have used.
What You'll See:
- Using reference images to make an exact replica of the model
- Creating custom textures using modes and images
- Lighting Setup
