I used to sculpt in clay as a hobby for a while, but the limited space and constant struggle to manage it have made it mentally challenging to continue and turn it into something more than just a hobby. For now, I’ve decided to put traditional sculpting on hold and focus on digital art, which takes up much less space. Over the years, I’ve revisited Blender on and off with long gaps in between, but this time, I’m committing to giving it a proper go, starting with the basics once again.
Completed an Intro to 3D Modeling. For extra practice, I also modeled a volleyball and a basketball. I’m really pleased with how the volleyball turned out. As for the basketball, I’m not entirely sure about it, but I think it turned out pretty good for a beginner.
Also, thank you so much for your kind words on my first post.
Oh, is that what a volleyball looks like? I love that pattern!
It does have some ‘bumps’ however, that probably shouldn’t be there:
But well done and great that you made 3 (completely) different balls!
I was so proud of myself when I managed to model a volleyball, and the fact that it wasn’t super smooth didn’t bother me at first because I wasn’t sure how to fix it. Thank you Spikey for the nudge with those red arrows! I went back to the ball and was able to smooth it out using the Smooth Vertices option in Edit Mode.
Completed the Hard Surface modeling lessons and a hard drive exercise. To challenge myself, I also modeled ports, a lock button, and a power button at the back. The process was full of ups and downs and required a lot of patience, especially with the Boolean modifier. My laptop frequently lagged, froze, and even crashed Blender a few times. I figured out a way around the modifier by applying it immediately after finishing with it.
To everyone reading this: Wishing you happiness, ambition, and boundless creative energy in 2025!
Set bold goals, embrace learning, and create with passion!P.S. Subdivision surface modifier exercise. x 2 mugs and a sugar bowl.
