Here is my latest practice attempt. Just cruising on Pinterest looking for interesting shapes that look asthetically pleasing but also pose reasonable challenges. There were a number of profile edges that were different in size and proportion so I had to experiment with using a combination of offsetting individual lines or sometimes the entire profile. Still haven't forced myself into using the instancing yet on larger projects. I feel like I'm coming over the hump with getting past the basics. I still find filleting and chamfering to still seem unpredictable to me. But it will probably just take some more practice to understand what order to start it in, etc. There are a number of edges that I gave up on because this was just for practice and won't be in any permanent portfolio work. Still on of the biggest hurdles is keeping motivation to finish the project. There were more than a few times I was so sick of looking at this thing, but I told myself I was going to finish it no matter what. I've already got too many half-finished projects from Plasticity and Blender on my hard drives as it is.

I am finally done with yet another helmet. Done in plasticity and rendered in Blender. This one took a lot of time and effort. Very happy with the outcome.

On the Plasticity Beginner Introduction Course, video 05 (Basic Modeling Operations) Nikita snaps to the center of the cylinder face and I'm not able to do it. Object Snapping is on but it only snaps the the center of the flat face from the rectangle, not to the middle of the cylinder. So can anyone help me fix this? I'm on version 25.2.8

still got a long ways to go with rendering, happy for now.
