Hard surface, landscape, environment — my first project without any help from tutorials.
I was thinking about NFTs — how plots of land sell for real money — and how this could be a plot in the metaverse.
A cabin in the woods
I was inspired when I saw a tutorial on building a little cabin. I didn't follow it, but I wanted to design my own cabin in the woods, and these are my results — I even adapted it for my video Christmas card. It was a fun, great training experience: I used every trick I knew up to that point, plus a few new ones. But I realized I needed to focus on smaller projects — big ones eat up the time you could spend practicing more skills. I recommend lots of small projects for a better learning experience.
Cabin gas
As with anything, nothing lasts forever. I built the cabin knowing that one day I'd figure out how to destroy it. After a year in Blender, I returned to the cabin to say farewell.
