Learning Blender 3-D software is slow, but progress is being made in re-teaching myself modeling with a zillion new keyboard shortcuts and a zillion more functions on the screen that hide the basic ones. Twenty-five years ago I could really kick polygons in Lightwave 3-D, and now it's back to basics. Plus, my topology sucks. Below is the first object, a viney decoration using Payne as a background. The object is fraught with uneven polygons, interior polygons, and other basic mistakes, but hopefully it will print. I abandoned the Anycubic Photon Mono 3-D resin printer, which is still in the unopened box. It was only a 2K resolution printer. So, in order to guarantee these tiny ornaments preserve the detail of the computer models, I purchased a new Elegoo Saturn 4 12K printer. Huge upgrade in resolution. It should work much better for tiny parts for the
Sovereign. The old unused Anycubic printer will be sold off dirt cheap ($75). The next step will be to either make some more models or attempt my first printing of a couple test objects, then print this first decoration.
