Introduction
Hi, my name is Ryanwill679, also known as TrashCG. I’m a 3D Artist who is primarily self-taught through YouTube tutorials and a lot of trial and error. My journey into 3D art started from a desire to create video games, and I thought learning how to 3D model would be a useful skill. Along the way, I discovered a genuine passion for 3D art, which led me to explore Blender as a hobby.
Blender stood out to me because it’s free and supported by a massive, passionate community. There are countless high-quality tutorials available, one of the most well-known being the Donut Tutorial by Blender Guru, which helped me early on. Also, the availability of powerful add-ons like FLIP Fluids, which I use for most of my water simulations in Blender.
The Waterfall Project
This particular project began after I was browsing for references and came across an image by James Turner. It featured Mario chilling on a Question Mark Block with grass and a tree on top. That scene inspired me to create something similar with my own twist.
