i guess about a year or two ago, i downloaded blender. had problems with it crashing. just downloaded it again and followed a simple tut on youtube making a coffee cup. here is mine...



i hope some day to try and learn car modeling. i know that is a hard thing to learn, but hey i got time...lol

very nice job rd

Wow!
That's pretty cool.

Very nice. I don't use Blender very much as it's hard on my system.

Definitely like the reflections. Just wish I could get motivated to do 3D. Thanks for sharing your effort RD.

Much better than my

rdgracer: nice job on that and good luck learning blender - hope you don't let it take all the time and energy from your painting though.

Nice job rdgracer71. Blender isn't easy to learn and I admire anybody who can create things with it.

Wow, rd, that looks real. A tad thicker china than most mugs, but it still looks very real.

Nice work! I opened blender once....then I closed it.

well hey guys, thanks for all the comments. haven't touched blender since i made this. i only hope to do maybe one car from start to finish. learning this seems like it may take a while. i will never give up painting with gimp. and some day i want to try another painting with oils. once i start something, if it don't work out, it bugs me. i tried working with blender months ago and i never made anything with it. i deleted it from my computer, but it has always been there in the back of my mind. i wished i knew blender as well as i know gimp. anyways, nice being back. see you guys around gotta run..

Very nice render rdgracer71! The blue square gives a nice reflection on the cup. Good luck with learning Blender - it's a complicated tool but can do some pretty amazing things.
