This was my first own render after watching the CG Cookie Basics course. I made it entirely from a single cylinder! Back then (and honestly, still a little now), I was very uncomfortable using multiple objects and connecting them together — so I challenged myself to create the whole thing from just one cylinder and the knowledge I had at that moment so no fancy modifier only used solidify and bavel. I was genuinely happy with how it turned out. Before watching the CG Cookie Basics and Gamepad tutorials, I couldn’t even imagine a way to build this. But after going through those lessons, I was finally able to think a way to create it. Also… the hinges? Yeah, they’re not actually functional 😂I could’ve made them as separate objects, but I was afraid of using too many pieces. So they’re just standing there — purely for the look. It’s based on a mobile stand I actually own.
