Admittedly it’s not a work of art but it’s my first project. I am hoping to make some LEGO parts at some point. Also, although it’s difficult, you can also do 3-D animation with Blender. I haven’t figured that out yet, but I’m going to take a class based on blender, so hopefully, I’ll learn how to do it then.
