This is one of the first projects I completed in Blender, and it was a really exciting challenge for me. Inspired by Polygon Runway's Tutorial, I wanted to create a coffee shop scene on my own. The tutorial gave me a good starting point, but I was determined to figure out the rest—especially the materials, lighting, and camera work.
One of the toughest parts was getting the lighting just right. I played around with different light positions, strengths, and colors to create the atmosphere I had in mind. After a lot of trial and error, I feel like I learned a lot about how to set the mood using Blender’s tools, and that was pretty exciting for me as a beginner!
Overall, this project was a big confidence boost. It helped me get more comfortable with Blender, and I’m excited to keep pushing myself with more ambitious projects in the future!
