KIT207 Self Study 1 - Devlog

Starting to learn the use of Blender, working through the tutorials provided on KIT207 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MF1qEhBSfq4 and  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HggtU6Nzlao specifically). As such I have made a Barrel, using textures I downloaded from https://polyhaven.com/ to give a worn, used look to the barrel (specifically using https://polyhaven.com/a/worn_planks for the planks and https://polyhaven.com/a/rusty_metal_sheet for the rings)

I have also modeled a Tasmanian tourist attraction (the Penguin penguin). I didn't use any textures for the penguin, instead opting to paint it in blender myself. I am debating whether I like this approach and may change or edit the penguin future using third party textures as they do seem to look a little better.

All in all I am looking forward to seeing where this portfolio project ends up taking me.
