I’ve often found myself gazing into the void, wondering what Blender modeling project to tackle next. Then it hit me: what if I started sharing project challenges inspired by my everyday surroundings through the Freshly Baked newsletter?
For the past five weeks, I’ve been sharing (mostly) simple Blender modeling challenges with our Weekly Freshly Baked Newsletter subscribers. The responses and creativity have been fantastic, and it’s thrilling to see participation grow each week. If you’re seeking a challenge in Blender with no prizes or rewards other than the satisfaction of knowing you did it, these Blender Art challenges are perfect for you.
These aren’t just weekend Blender projects. I encourage everyone to dive in and tackle any of these challenges. Inspired by the amazing community response, I decided to collect these challenges in one place on our site, which is why you’re reading this blog post.
So, let’s grab our virtual sculpting tools and dive into these Blender modeling projects. ☕️
Project 01: Modeling a House Plant
I’ve found that modeling simple objects around the house can be incredibly fulfilling and challenging. This reference was a bit spontaneous but contained some challenges to solve as a Blender artist.
Being the first one, I didn’t take many reference photos (Just this one above), but still, many of you rocked out a model!
Project 02: Modeling a Brio Toy Truck
I love these little wooden trucks. There is something fun about them, and what an exciting material and modeling challenge.
Project 03: Modeling a Tea Pot
3D Studio Max users worship the Tea Pot (I did, at least), so why not make one in Blender?
