My Blender Bender, Part 1

Added 2022-03-18 17:13:17 +0000 UTC

So while Elden Ring captured my inspiration at the start of the month, for the week or two after that i've been seriously exploring blender for the first time. I've watched a buuuunch of tutorials and i think i'm finally getting the hand of how to use the space you're given, and the way to manipulate things to your advantage, in a basic level at least.

I started off with the donut, as i'm sure most people do, and branched out from there. I made a bouncing cup, a spinning coin, I remade my entire Wintech logo in 3D which you can see here, and I made starts on the repair shack but naturally i had to give modelling my own sona a try.

It's a lot of work and it's a bit a different skill set than i'm used to with 2d art, but damn it if Blender's not entirely addictive - once you know how to actually get around the program that is. For sure Blender has a brick wall for a doorway. Here's hoping it starts to pay off. It's a tonne of fun.

I'm currently in the process of retopologising Winty to make the mesh a bit more computer friendly, and after that is done i'll be texturing and rigging for animation baby! (i'm also experimenting with a low poly PS1 era winty as well, but that one is taking a back seat until i get the high def boy done!)

Suffice it to say this blows the possibilities for what I can offer out of the water if i can get it right, so i'm excited as hell to share all this.

I could maybe stream my learning process if anyone was interested? I dunno just yet though. Let me know ^-^
