Ode to Blender

Compilation of early Blender models

A compilation of all the models I built at the start of my training, dedicated to Blender and the tutorial artists.

After many tutorials

After many hours and a lot of tutorials, I wondered what I could do with everything I'd learned to create. So I made a short epic using most of the objects and characters I'd built from awesome YouTube videos — a tribute to Blender and all the online tutorial artists. Many thanks.

The cast: the robots came from Ryan King Art's easy-to-follow tutorials, the plane was the result of the Crossmind Studio 7-Day Intro to Blender series, and the doughnut was the very first tutorial I did — the classic from Blender Guru.
