I made a robot for my primitive modeling challenge.
I made a shark! Finished up the Fundamentals of Digital Sculpting with Blender 2.8 and produced a hammerhead. Sculpting is a lot of fun! It's so easy to get lost in little details though. I couldn't quite figure out what to do with the eyes!
I printed my shark! He's about 4.5 inches long. The side fins are a bit too thin to make them print well at this size, but it's fun to see something real come out of my computer.
I've been spending my time lately trying out the animation bootcamp course, which is super fun but soooo much work! Today I took a break to try to sculpt something. Here's the beginnings of a turtle character. He will eventually have proper hands and feet. I haven't figured out what I want to do with the shell yet, googling turtle shells for inspiration and now I'm overwhelmed with options.
Maybe some day I'll get the skills to animate it, and then we can all watch it waddle! I remembered to shade smooth this time!
Ah! It's been a minute. I've been trying to work through the animation bootcamp, but not posting those here:
But most recently I've been working on 3D printing Christmas gifts. My kids and nieces/nephews are really into "Among Us", so I created these cookie cutters in Blender and 3D printed them.
It's been interesting trying to get a good workflow for taking the image, tracing it with bezier curves and then turning it into a mesh that doesn't contain a bunch of overlapping faces and non-manifold edges...
I've been trying to get back into my Blender learning tracks. I'm working through fundamentals of texturing now, so here's my Lava Shader :)
This was really challenging - I was trying not to copy other tutorials exactly and understand what the nodes were doing - took me way too long to go back and re-watch the videos and realize what step I'd forgotten about... Anyway, it was fun!
joshcanfield I very much like how you make use of Blender for the creation of practical things 😀👍! And it's looking sooooo tasty 😋!
This is so COOL! I'd love to have a 3D printer for some low poly models.
Just as an overall comment to your thread, there's some amazing work in here. You can tell you really have a knack and, I would assume passion, for detail as shown in your low poly room.
It's really impressive all round!
Thanks ponchismaaan and duerer ! Blender is fun, I just keep having to remind myself to do something with it more often!

If anyone wants to jump on and grade this in the next couple hours I'd appreciate it!
Still plugging along on my course work :) Today I textured an Axe for Fundamentals of Texturing in Blender
Following @jlampel is always a pleasure!
in between tutorial sessions I've been using Blender to make things for the 3D printer. This weeks project has been learning to do filament changes to make multi-color keychains for my daughter's soccer team:
And... if you're up for a quick task, I submitted my tire to close out an old exercise I started many moons ago and could use a review :) https://cgcookie.com/exercise_submissions/26852
I've started texturing the motorcycle - having too much fun adding the glowy bits!
joshcanfield This reminds me a bit of a Tron bike. @jlampel and 
chunck modeled their Tron bike versions here. See also Chunk's result here . I'm looking forward to your final result 😀!
Hey duerer! Thanks for the link I took a look at the video and that was a fun watch :)
