I call this scene “Desk Golf.” My lamp model makes a comeback in this lesson! This time, it’s helping a golf ball reach the hole at the top of a stack of books. I cheated a bit by looking up a tutorial on how to make the golf ball. And somehow, even with the tutorial, I managed to mess up the golf ball. The dimple pattern is weird in some places. But, I have to remember that golf is weird in some places. Looks like I just turned this bug (ugly ball) into a feature (ugly ball...because golfers like it that way). Also, the transition from the cylindrical metal eraser ring on the pencil to the hexagon shape of the pencil is pretty jarring. I’m excited for future lessons where I might learn about ways to fix this. A few things I learned while making this that I can apply…
Always follow passion. Right now, I have a passion to learn more about 3D modeling. It sure doesn't hurt that I'm having a ton of fun doing it (Fun is the strongest direct motivator).
Daunting project + audience I care about = motivation.
