My first attempt to create a 3D model only from photos of a knife in Amazon. Then after retopology and baking the model is exported to GLTF format for rendering in the web page.

Modeling of the Wizard's Lab scene which is full of realistic details.

Practiced the complete scene modeling and animation of the “Sword in Stone” tutorial. The following skills were involved: Modeling of hard surface objects Texturing with PBR materials Environment texturing HDRI environment texturing Simulate fog effect by using a volume scattering shader Particle effects Simulate dust effect with the particle system Animation Keyframe animation Composition Adjust the color balance and gamma value of the final image through Blender’s composition stage Sword Image #1 The sword handle, the guard and part of the blade.

Continue learning: modeling low-poly objects, symmetric objects and using of more complex modifiers. Car Blender Project: A simple low-poly car. Mirror modifiers were used to simplify modeling process. Pure color material were used for rendering. Handheld Fan Modeled with basic shapes. Center symmetric objects like the front and back cover, fan blades were modeled using empty objects and array modifiers. Pure color materials were used for rendering. The light band on the handle was modeled using an emission shader.
