3D generalist rebuilding skills in Blender. Documenting my learning journey.

Tried modeling a wine glass today...
But of course, I didn’t stop there. 🍷

I dove into liquid simulation for the first time — just to fill it with wine.
Blender was sweating. I was sweating.
But it worked 😮‍💨

First liquid sim ever — how’d I do? 👇

@BasheerShaikArt That's what I aim! Glad you got it! 😁🙌

My first ever Blender animation!

No idea what I was doing — just clicked what made sense and hoped for the best 😂
Not perfect, but I’m proud of this one.

Swipe to the end & tell me what you think!

Day 23!

And here is the coffee table mentioned earlier. So happy how it turns out!

Saw a cool coffee table while hanging out with friends last week.

Didn’t think much of it… but the shape stuck.

Guess what I modeled today? 👀

Day 22 – modeled a lone chess pawn standing guard for the king ♟️
Felt like creating a “last stand” scene — underdog, clutch, the chosen one moment.
Kept it simple, but the story hits.
Might build a full battle next time…
What vibe do you get from this one? 👇

Day 23 — Crate Box 🧱📦

Tried using decals in Blender for the first time, and wow — tiny stickers = big #texture upgrade.

Adds just the right amount of imperfection to make it feel real.

New favorite trick in #blender3D unlocked 🔓

Have you tried decals before?

@TheRougePrinxe Thanks mate! 🙌

Day 21 – Treasure chest unlocked! 🪙✨
Inspired by those glowing loot scenes in video games — chest in a cave, light pouring out, gold everywhere.
Tried capturing that magic moment. Still learning, but this was FUN.
Too much glow or just right? 👀

@thepentitan Thank you so much! 🙌

Day 20 — made a bed (sort of).
Tried cloth sim + just learned you can sculpt it with brushes?! Wild.
Ended up with a nap-in-the-outdoors vibe after tossing in an HDRI.
Still messy, still learning — but this one made me smile.

Day 19 — accidentally magical?
Started building stairs with no plan, switched halfway, and now it kinda looks like a Harry Potter scene with floating staircases.
No idea how I got here, but I’m not mad about it.

Ever had a happy accident in #Blender3d ?

[Ava @avaarts3d]

@TheRougePrinxe I get you! The more we spend time the more we are into it. 3D is so addictive to me too 😂

[Ava @avaarts3d]

@TheRougePrinxe Can't wait for it 🙌

Day 18 — Vase 🌿
This one took more time, but I’m really proud of it. Used multiple techniques I’ve picked up over the challenge — and finally starting to feel the progress.

Inspo? Pinterest, moodboards, even online ads.
Slide 3 to see what sparked the idea 👀

Day 17/30 — Made a book and tried UV texturing for the first time.
Still messy, but I’m finally starting to get how it works.
Also played with mood and tried to make the clay render look more “cinematic.”
How’d I do? Any tips for UVs or clay shots?

Day 16 of 30 — modeled a simple bookshelf, but today was all about mood.

Tried capturing that golden hour vibe: soft light, tree shadows, and quiet warmth.

Not chasing complexity, just chasing a feeling.

Tell me what you feel from it — brutally honest please! 😭

Day 15 – from basic to bold
Started with a plain table on this account.

Today I created a unique coffee table I saw on Pinterest in Blender — and added some mood with better composition + lighting.

It’s not perfect, but it feels like progress.

Brutal feedback welcome 😭

To anyone else doing daily art or personal projects:
What keeps you going?
And how do you deal with the off days?

Let’s talk 👇

[Ava @avaarts3d]

What started as a simple “let’s just show up every day” challenge…

has turned into something way deeper.

I’m only 2 weeks in, but I already feel different. Here’s why 🧵👇

[Ava @avaarts3d]

If you’re on the fence about starting your own creative challenge…

Do it. Start small. Show up daily.

The growth will surprise you — and the motivation? It comes from the progress.
