This is my final entry for the @CGBoost Gift Factory Challenge: a Insta360 Luna Ultra gift gets built and packed by a robot factory. Modeled, animated and rendered entirely from scratch on my phone - no PC, no render farm.

HOW I MADE IT: ON NOTHING BUT A PHONE HUMAN-MADE ( NO AI! ) Phone: Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, used in Samsung DeX with a keyboard, mouse and dockSoftware: Blender 4.3.2 (ARM64 Linux), running in an Ubuntu environment inside Termux with an XFCE desktop (Termux:X11) GPU: the phone’s Qualcomm Adreno 830, through the open-source Mesa Turnip Vulkan driver Render engine: EEVEE, 64 samples, rendered locally on the phone Template: the official CG Boost Gift Factory template (their Blender 4.5 version of the file, which opens in 4.3.2) Luna Ultra model, glass box, bow, lasers and robot arms: made by me in this file Blender runs on a phone. If you think you need a big PC to start, you don’t.

Thanks again to @cgboost for the challenge! #3d #b3d #cgchallenge This was my first competition ever. I’ve only been learning blender for less than 7 months, all selftaught, and I dont even own a computer.. Everything you see me post we have been made on my cellphone, a Galaxy S25 Ultra, Blender runs inside a Linux (Ubuntu) setup through Termux, using the phone’s own graphics chip. Yes, it’s as wild as it sounds, and yes, my phone get very hot.. \* ( i connect Dex to my TV with a keyboard and wireless mouse not but at first yes i just used my stylus/on screen key-board ) ![Screenshot_20261021_121704_TermuxX11](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/7/f/1/7f15c6914863969f938dae6619e23fab733742ee.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20261014_022107_TermuxX11](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/b/e/c/becec6f8962c4804ecda1ffaf2c1353b0d36e014.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20261013_235428_TermuxX11](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/7/b/8/7b86265678a5a78e2e313fb32c9c25340e8628ce.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20261013_184622_TermuxX11](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/4/9/5/4954f26f0211fa3baa3def6423fb0be20491f9a8.jpeg) ![Luna_Ultra_13_exploded_EVERYTHING_lenses-USB-C-screws-out](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/f/3/a/f3a53b66e9812b7960bd9c8dddd61b1c7e457b52.jpeg) ![Luna_Ultra_14_exploded_lens-stacks_closeup](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/9/c/5/9c5fc2bc4c9b05593e6e21fcdbd83a9bad9620fd.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20261018_004254_TermuxX11](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/4/9/5/4959f535f1c80d0de48e5e19f504ea3141b2d826.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20260925_204647_TermuxX11](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/9/6/d/96d1d23c4eb31d04a561f35a7e7e97b699597c72.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20260925_164604_TermuxX11](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/9/1/8/918646a80ab33258973242e2f75d33c7f055b5a7.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20260925_204900_TermuxX11](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/f/d/5/fd57597327d6cb9ea06356c055d0165cf6ffe2ce.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20260925_144036_TermuxX11](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/d/5/0/d507f143b3a61c910b7bb25c04e29d0c61e87e35.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20261006_203112_TermuxX11](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/1/7/8/1786e990dc6f09a7bb490aea95da80d9237a79f1.jpeg) ![Luna_Ultra_09_closeup_bottom_USB-C_SD-flap](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/e/a/f/eafc8e80549652244e3f0ebeb0308dff2fe040ea.jpeg)
