Nice render, I particularly like this one :+1: !

Thanks so much, bro! Listen…
I told the penguin about climate change and how her habitat might disappear in the coming years–and she fainted.
I just wanted to surprise her by saying I’d gift her a deep-freezer if that ever happened, but she passed out before I could tell her!
Get up, stand up …
Stand up for your right…
Don’t give up the fight…

Can I sharpen it? Let’s see… no one’s going to kill me if I fail.
I have an initial idea for the process (actually, two methods) and I hope it turns out well.

This method perfectly mimics reality.
The pencil is modeled as three meshes within a single object: outer paint, wood, and graphite. two paintbrush rollers apply Dynamic Paint (Displace), and a shape key nudges the wood forward just enough to hide the paint behind it after baking. There are also two displacement areas to make the edges slightly irregular.
Complex? Yes. Boring? No. Ignored? Maybe… but you might need it later!

The second method – a simple trick
The pencil passes through a cone (Boolean-Difference) placed between the two helical blades.
Coming out of its “torture chamber,” the pencil carries the cone by order of Mr. Constraint.
Simple and smooth? Ya.

Nice work, I like the audio, where did you get that from?

If I had such a tool, I’d record audio as I did before, I’ve never seen or used this model.
There are countless free sound effects available online.
As for this specific case, I converted a pencil sharpener video to mp3, selected the desired time range, and added fade-in/out effects.
Thanks so much for boosting morale.
Don’t forget to wear your safety goggles. :grinning:

I’m absolutely blown away by the work done! I worked in the advertising and development department at a company that dealt with hand tools. I remember those tools with great fondness and the time I designed labels and packaging for them.

This is a certificate I truly cherish and am very happy to have, especially since it comes from someone who was surrounded by metals, plastics, and the smell of cardboard.
I’m grateful to a professional in my field.
