Vase

This next tutorial I did can be found here. Their server seems to be down and I couldn't get the texture files for the floor and vase, but besides that I think I had some issues replicating what they had. I still managed to play around with it, and am overall satisfied with the result even though it was kind of exasperating. The render actually took quite a while... like all of dinner time... after I added some ambient occlusion or whatever.

Blender N00b

Instead of working I was up til 5am fighting through Blender tutorials. I've always wanted to step into the 3D realm of art but have not had the chance to really tackle through the nettlesome interface. This time I started slowly with the basics: Noob to Pro tutorial. Then I went back to do some stuff that I looked at before but either failed to complete or didn't even try: A Simple Winter Scene and Dolphin. Before those I actually tried this head modeling tutorial, which let me familiarize with some of the million shortcut keys but I think it's a bit more advanced than the others. I hope one day I can post my original art online... For now I'm posting my tutorial-generated pieces.
