10 3D Modeled Teddy Bear

      Created as an early Blender project, this 3D teddy bear was modeled from scratch to practice soft-surface sculpting, proportions, and character modeling fundamentals. The goal was to create a playful, stylized plush form that could be rigged or printed in future iterations.

      Using a combination of primitive shapes and proportional editing, I built up the form and applied subdivision modifiers for smoothness. Basic shaders were added to give the model a soft fabric-like appearance.  

  • Full-body model built using Blender
  • Explores stylized organic modeling techniques
  • Subdivision surface workflow for rounded edges
  • Basic shader applied for fabric visualization
  • Project focus: sculpting, proportions, and cuteness

      This project represents a personal milestone in 3D modeling, bridging technical form-building with character design practice.
