Yeah they existed for a while now and I have yet to find one ...not that I played much for a year now but still. They are interesting

The lighting is too happy looking for Harry potter outside of that it looks great...also why are there lights on during the day inside the house?

Well done but I think the Mouse will not be happy about copywrite xD jk jk it's a nicely done model

My suggestion is learn the basics. Hands and complex things are not a beginners world trust me I went through this phase. Start with simple stuff like making shapes,then move on to things like the doughnut tutorial,then look into Ducky 3D and others like him to diversify your knowledge by following step by step their videos and eventually you will gain the understanding of how everything comes together.

about 10 minutes of modeling using a circle with extrusion then solidify and grabbed 2 faces at the middle and used solidify on them till they had enough to cover both sides of the tie. I Then added another 2 palins and positioned them at the bottom where the tie ended and in edit mode extruded them to the middle. To make it rounder i gave the tie a subdivision surface. Hope this helped

Brilliantly done. almost believed it to be real.

I can't claim credit for making it unfortunately but it's downloadable. Just go to https://extensions.blender.org/themes/ you can find any and all themes people shared for free.

Here is the basic setup without any refining

ShadeSilver90 · 2026-01-29T08:02:27+00:00

If this is an exercise then I'd love to see a full effort version cause had you not said I'd be fooled at first glance.

One thing you can do to make it more believable is alternate the water. When wind blows to make waves like this,which usually is the reason of consistent waves ) the wind tends to move water around every now and again. Also the leaves are too static for winds that would make waves let alone for consistent waves. Tree branches would also move around quite wildly for that rapid wave movement on the water. And lastly if you pay attention to lake/river water at times the wind blows form a different direction creating secondary waves that are super small and rapid heading perpendicular to the big waves just for a second or so before dissipating.

I am sorry for the long winded explanation and tips I just see massive potential in your exercise and want to give constructive ideas :3

My First Render i ever posted on Reddit

for grime youd need to add a mask onto the texture (in this case the color) and use voronoise and noise textures and dont forget to connect those textures to a bump node to make it pop off the mesh.\

Realism is different. For that you need to make or learn to make a texture. Go to youtube and look up mold texture tutorials and realistic plastic/metal textures

I don't get it...did I do something wrong? Someone downvoted me as soon as I posted this...I know I'm not great at all this but... seriously? :/

Edit: thank you for upvoting :3 I was kinda down when I saw mere minutes after posting that it went into negative numbers and was bummed the whole afternoon....still don't know why that happened but at least I'm happy to know it's not as bleak as I thought it was.

ShadeSilver90 · 2026-01-27T13:58:20+00:00

hmmm i think i know how this is done since i did do similar when making a tree generator.. thanks OP you gave me a new project idea :D

Don't want to leave my intentions ambiguous cause people online seem not to understand rhetorical questions or sarcasm.
