Some renders of my recent doodle model I made. Did this one over a couple of days due to the distractions of life and the World Cup. Modelled and rendered in Blender. ...

I started with some lined paper and ended up with a little note book. Not an overly complicated model topologically most of the work was in the texturing. Here’s the Wireframe of the mesh: And how it all started:

Some virtual fruit brought back to life Some years ago, back when I still using Modo as my daily driver, what a stupid term, as my main modelling tool, that’s better, I made some fruit models.
