NY resolutions: Blender render marathon

 

Sometimes 40 days long marathon to keep some activity motivates more than ambitions to achieve something in undefined future.

I'm about 4 days playing with Blender. Still not understand why 'shading' tab generates much more attractive picture with 'controls' as on image above than produces 'Render > Image' as shown belove.

So I made list of 40 topics I want to cover in next 40 days and let see what will happen.

1. Make water, sand, and grass texture objects and render them as photorealistic picture.
2. Find out why shadows from sun are on oppsite side than expected:
   
   
   
3. Check if I can make sectios in Blender, and materials can intersect each other if need.
4. what are difference between 'Transform' and 'Delata transform'
5. extrudes of different curves
6. how to create solids of revolution
7. can i make .svg outline from 'viewport' or 
8. can i put measurements
9. can we create a complex texture with just blender tools with no external image uploading
10. create a tree
11. create some people models
12. apply to people models different positions with specific activities (maybe by use bones)
13. made simple parametic object: ballustrade or bench
14. made parametric object like tree
15. make room interior
16. Put pillow and artwork hang on the wall
17. add beautiful window look from window in room above
18. Make a fire view
