I’m wondering if there’s a place where you can download finished *.blend scenes or models. I’m pretty new to Blender (and modeling in general), and I think I could learn a lot from seeing a completed project.
I’ve already done lots of tutorials, but I think looking around a finished project inside of Blender would teach me a lot, as well. And by projects, I mean projects that are a bit more complex than your usual tutorial…
Yes. Drop by BlenderNation, and take a look around their Repositorities. There are repositories with materials, spaceships, furniture, rigged character models, buildings, candle flames…
That’s true, but those files might be a bit overwhelming for someone who is “pretty new to Blender (and modeling in general).” But you’re right, they are the best examples of a finished project available for Blender.
If you are more looking for static scenes, I have a couple of blend files of architecture projects of mine downloadable on my website. But they are just buildings, no animation…
