Pencil study

I created this pencil as a mesh modeling practice. I was especially interested in the tip, that I created using a boolean of a cone and a 6-sided cylinder.

I’ve been thinking of getting back into writing tutorials (not videos - old school written style) by writing ‘Tiny Tutorials’ for techniques like this. Would that be of any interest to anyone?

I featured you on my gallery, have a great weekend!


Anyway nice, a bit too sharp geometry with procedural imperfections, the render will come out better.

Nice one! Pencil, btw, was one of my first projects that I’ve done in Blender.

Every idea starts from sketches on paper so yeah, a tutorial like this would be a great thing, especially for newbies

Thanks for the feature, @pafurijaz + @Dayn :slight_smile: I like the suggestion of adding imperfections, perhaps that’s for another exercise come day.

Great exploration. Did you use rigid world to position the pencils like that?

Tutorials would be great, I love short written tutorials with a couple of screenshots.

Yeah I dropped them with a rigid body system, it’s an easier way to create some believable chaos :slight_smile:

Nice one.
I tried to make a similar image a few months ago… and failed miserably the texturing part :sweat_smile:
The modeling was interesting though.
I forgot to say that I used the same technique : boolean ftw! *
