Low poly Giraffe

thingiverse

Creating a low-poly giraffe model in Blender requires some skill and attention to detail. To begin with, launch Blender and navigate to the 3D view where you can start modeling your giraffe. Open up a new project or select an existing one that has the required settings for a 3D model. The default scene should be blank except for the grid which is used for measuring and aligning objects. You can adjust the units of measurement as per your preference in Edit > Preferences > Units. Start by creating a new mesh for the giraffe's body. This involves selecting the Add > Mesh from the toolbar or using the shortcut Ctrl + A to access the add menu. Select the sphere tool, which is ideal for modeling rounded shapes like the body and head of the giraffe. Draw a large sphere with your mouse, ensuring it matches the proportions you want for your giraffe's body. You can adjust its size by dragging in or out from the center of the grid. To create the neck, simply add another sphere with a smaller radius than the first one. Position this new sphere above the previous one, aligning them both along the y-axis. Next, model the legs and feet using cylinders and planes. You can use the extrude tool to extend these elements outwards from the body. For better definition, add some subdivision surface modifier on each of the legs so they appear smoother. Finally, create the tail by adding a new cylinder with its base at the back of the giraffe's body.
