@theluthier The construction vehicle is a cool idea as well, every time I see one of those things I have to cover my ears and walk faster because it always screams, model me! model me! Though for that you have to really really commit several livestreams to pull it off. It could work if one stream is focused on one or two particular pieces, put them in collections and link them in a file and start assembling it like a jigsaw puzzle, add a piece every time one is completed.
On the other hand, a decorative ornament that has tricky modeling topology could be done in what would be a month of class maybe? What I like about it, is the smart approach it requires with several modifiers. That top white part is probably a flat plane with the designs contours punched through them, with a solidify modifier for the thickness and a simple deform to twist it 360 degrees?
The other parts start to get trickier, where one shape morphs into another, like the bottom left picture. The flappy things that branch out of the steam feels more like Bezier curves with 3d thickness maybe? Or the base that has a repetitive patters that could be pulled off with tiny piece and an array and a rotated empty?
Anyways, cool ideas that in the meantime can stay in the mental oven, until one day they could be ready to serve.
