I’ve been messing with this for a while, I wanted some practice before I model the train from season one of Loki.

I’ll do a short video clip tomorrow and share it here to show you. Thank you for your kind words too.

I used a full circle for the blades, a half circle would have been faster in hindsight.

Thank you, I feel I must give some credit to you and your team for making this software so easy to use, it’s like, Fusion 360 & Blender had the perfect child together and Shapr3D is that child. I love that I can be sat in the park relaxing, getting some sun and fresh air while I model.

Yep, keep practicing! You can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel now, but maybe, one day, in the far, far future, you’ll see a flicker of a candle.
