This gallery contains 3 photos.
I made the model, then downloaded an apple texture and applied it with UV mapping.
Cloth (animation)
I’ve been experimenting with Blender’s cloth physics simulator and using my human head model.
Shadow (image)
A fun experiment with shadows in Blender. Click below for the gallery.
