Already into week 4, thought I would try a couple of different simple builds this time around. Wooden Plant Box and a Glass Bottle of sorts…..
Starting with the box, my strategy was to make it the way I would if I was making it out of wood, so a bottom, four sides and blocks to hold it all together.
BLENDER WEEK 003
Continuing on from last week’s wooden table, I thought I would pull back a bit from using too many elements like the modifiers, I need to walk or even crawl before I can run.. So a table is still a good start and wood yes, going for just a simple slab of wood, and splitting it in the middle to make it look interesting in some way. Next I added four very simple cylinders for the legs. Again I added my studio sweep (getting good at making these), and then a few lamp light sources around my table.

A little reading, a little watching of video tutorials and a little playing around with Blender, so let’s get building…..
(more…)BLENDER WEEK 001
My first week with Blender has been kinda slow, I have been gathering as much information/websites/books/videos as I can and trying to absorb them.
New project, learn to use the 3D software Blender.
I have been playing with the idea for sometime now, but have really not put the effort into having a good go at it, and something like this needs just that, effort and time. Now I thought if I start doing maybe a weekly blog post about my progress, it might make me push myself more.
I am aware that I blog for myself more than anyone else, and that maybe no one will even read this, it’s still my way mentally to get my arse in gear…. As some of you may know my line of work is Photoshop. I had been a photographer for around 16yrs, then digital really took hold of the industry and I realized that the craft that I had learnt had gone, as it was no longer needed to get the right shot in one or two goes, you could shoot 100+ shots and pick one. So I looked towards the digital editing side of the business and trained myself until there was a position for me.
Really like what she has done so far and looking forward to The Paradise Edition – Out November 12th.
