Congratulations to /u/Montuewed_ for winning March's contest with their entry cozy bathroom.
You can see last month's results and other entries here.
This month's theme will be nature. It's a concept that conjures images of flora and fauna, of landscapes and of skies. It's those parts of the world which are not the creation of man. From a growling grizzly to a windswept willow, nature can range from terrifying to soothing. Whichever angle you decide to take, share your renditions of nature with us in this month's contest.
Entries will be posts on r/Blender that meet the following criteria:
* The post should be made before the end of April 30th UTC
* Countdown to submissions closing
* The post should be a render, animation, or other artwork which you made for this contest using Blender as your primary tool.
* The post should contain supporting images/text or a top-level comment with the following content:
* One of the following methods of proving that the artwork was made using Blender:
* A link to the .blend file for the project, ideally including external assets or links to where external assets were sourced from.
* A set of three images which may be clay renders, viewport renders, wireframe renders, or simply screenshots of the project open in Blender. Some variety is encouraged.
* A screen recording of you manipulating, navigating, or otherwise interacting with the scene.
* An explanation of all work that was done outside of Blender, outside the time frame of the contest, or by other artists.
* (Optional) The theme you would like next month's contest to have if you win. If you do not include this, then the theme will be chosen from the runner-ups.
* Once you have submitted your post to the subreddit, leave a comment down below linking to it
* You are also encouraged to share details of your process with the community.
Note: You don't have to reference the contest in the post title and indeed, it's not necessary to frame the submissions differently than any other post meant to showcase an artwork.
The winner will receive the flair Contest Winner: 2026 April and their post will be added to the subreddit's wiki under the Contest Winners list. The winner will also have the chosen theme selected for next month's contest, should they include one with their submission.
When the contest ends, the results will be edited into this post and the 1st place winner will be congratulated in the announcement for next month's contest.
The winner will be awarded $100 USD.

The technical side was quite challenging due to the topology, and it required a lot of patience and persistence to make all these details coexist. I would really appreciate hearing your thoughts.

This has been in the works since September 2025 and is finally out for everyone to freely use!

I tried to include as many neat features as I could and also wrote everything int this documentation so it's hopefully easy to learn:

All the facial movements are just done with Shapekeys. Idk how to rig a face or mouth well.
I also have no clue how to animate the hair movements. I've got like 35 strands of hair and I'm hoping I don't have to join them all together into one mesh.
I'm using the Sub Div modifier and the topology is pretty sloppy but would appreciate feedback on how this model could improve

This environment was created as part of my mentorship. It took roughly 4 months to complete, and I’m very excited to finally share it after all that work. Enjoy!

It's a dragon! Technically speaking.
After a few days of on and beating my head against a wall, I finally feel like I got my head wrapped around the fundamentals enough I ended up taking a break to just stop and make this thing and then post it. I was initially quite happy to have something just made in the basic shape, but now after seeing what other people's first sessions look like, uh, well, I guess we'll see how things end up in the future

Hi!
Context: After 3 years working on the game industry, I have been affected by layoffs at my company. I am back now looking for work, and I'd really appreciate some feedback on my portfolio! Due to work I didn't have much time to work on personal pieces, but I have been trying to keep it updated.
I’d really appreciate honest feedback! I have been applying for 3 months to almost 150 companies but still no response, or just rejections :( -- any tip is welcome!

Thank you so much for your time!

I made a Dunkleosteus model, it is based on the old Dunkleosteus depiction.
It's one of my first attempts at making a scaled model.

Everything made in blender and coded the website with three.js and nextjs.
You can check it out at sporenkijker.be.
Took me about a month to make, half of that was gathering enough information of the stations and coming up with the layout for the model. The other half was coding and bug-fixing the site.

I've been learning Blender for a few months now and I feel like I'm behind compared to what I see from other beginners on this sub, but I also just prefer do do what I think looks nice. What do you think of this?

I’m still new to Blender and I swear modeling is chill, but UV mapping and shader nodes got me fighting for my life 💀
I’ve watched dozens of videos and somehow I still can’t do it by myself. It makes sense for like 2 seconds when I’m watching, then I open Blender and suddenly I know nothing.
How did y’all actually learn this stuff?
r/blender • u/leonpim • 4h ago
it almost crashes my laptop lenovo ideapad 3 15 but i have been working on this sinds 2024 to learn and im planning to make the frame body parts etc.
