🍪 Freshly Baked Weekly Challenge 8 - Brio Crane

CGC Modeling Challenges
Wes Burke

Hey everyone, 

Apologies, as I felt drawn to dig through my son's toys again and grab a cool-looking crane. :) 

This object will be fun to model. With its simple shapes and different materials, it gives off a complex vibe. As a bonus, in your final render, include the first Brio Toy Truck from Week 2.  

You'd think we should be sponsored by Brio... 🤔

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 your final renders and how it was to model it below with the rest of the community.

Happy Blending!

    Dangs this is a cool one. Why are toys looking cool all over again as a grown adult? Perhaps it's true that life goes back around after a while.

    it wasn't easy for me. this time i only did it by eye and i had to realize again and again that i made parts too wide or too small but it's called "challenge" for a reason :)

    My green container may also be too big, but I don't need it to be 100% accurate at the moment. The fun should still come first

    I've finished the toy crane! If you watch the video, be sure to check out the reflections. It was a bit tricky to get them just right, but I'm happy with how it turned out. Thanks for the challenge—it was a great learning experience
