🍪 Freshly Baked Weekly Challenge 7 - Chemex

CGC Modeling Challenges
Wes Burke

Blender Project Challenge 🍄 Let's model a Chemex in Blender!

Last week's challenge, while potentially simpler on the modeling side, was heavy on the materials side. 

This week, I wanted to venture into Glass. 

I remember the first time I rendered glass in 3D. It's up there with my first bouncing ball. 

Occasionally, I'll make good coffee with good coffee beans. When I do, I break out the Chemex and watch the liquid filter through the ground coffee beans. 

I want to challenge you to model this object 100% in Blender. If my reference images are not strong enough, there are many examples of Chemex's online. 

Share it below. 

Happy Blending!

    Ooooh! This is a good one! But how dare you add water droplets on the glass! (heeheehee)

    Hah, I was thinking about it as I was taking photos of it. Freshly washed, but we can consider water droplets as a personal stretch goal!
