      Hey there, I am new to CG Cookie. Some tutorials start with a snowman, so I just made one myself after 3 days of hours of watching videos. Fidgeting in Blender so much, until I found how to change material properties and sculpted a bit…

        That’s a great looking snowman, Jan!

          Woah! The render blew my mind when I saw it, haha.

          Definitely outside the scope of modeling with primitives, as mesh editing is apparent, but this result is a breath of fresh air injected into the collection of snowman renders from that course, including my own…

          Nicely done!

            I don’t know why, but the hat reminds me of Vivi from Final Fantasy IX. XD

              Hah yes, I get that with Vivi!

              Yesterday I tried to combine noise textures to displacements and also used subsurface scattering with a blue tint, rendered a bit longer then. A few tweaks later I improved my snowman more 😀

              I see why the middle ball is more noisy than the rest. I used the object as mapping for the noise and the middle topology is one subdivision modifier higher, so more fine snow-detail. Could just apply one more SDM to the other 2 balls and lower the noise detail, or decimate the middle one…but…I think for “starting” I already overdone this snowman project and should move on xD

                Wow super update, it now looks very realistic. One of the best snowman’s we’ve had man, nice.

                  Testing volumetric materials! I saw that little deco orb in my bedroom and needed to quickly model it to test out how volumetric materials work 😀

                    I also created some marble with procedural texturing, because after digging into modelling and sculpting, I wanted to concentrate more in texturing and shading.

                      And I just made some fancy lava material~

                        And of course after making the classic donut tutorial I also tried the anvil to get a bit into mask mapping and baking textures…

                          Sculpted my plush dog from childhood day’s here :]

                            Here I tested how hair systems work. I thought about those coal critters from Chihiro’s Journey 😀

                              Talking about rather easy geometry. It’s just an orb, but with NASA photography to texture it!

                                  Lots of cool stuff. I like the hairy creature. It’s like he’s in electrical shock forever.
