Introduction
Look at this 3D plant in a pot. In this video, you will create a pot, soil, stem, and leaves in Blender, then render it realistically. Hello, welcome to Cerdas Inovasi Digital. In this tutorial, number 6, we will create a decorative plant in a terracotta pot in Blender, with leaves arranged in a circular pattern. Then we will render it. Let's start.
Delete the default cube
First, delete the default cube. Click on the cube, then open the Object menu and select Delete. Scene is now empty and ready to use.
Pot body: Cylinder
Open Add, Mesh, Cylinder. In the Add Cylinder panel, set Vertices to 64, Radius to 0.45, Depth to 0.9, Location Z to 0.45. Select the object and name it 'pot'.
Edit Mode, Face mode
Press Tab in the viewport to enter Edit Mode, then press 3 for Face mode. Click on the top side, then press the letter S for scale, type 1.15, and press Enter.
Widen the pot mouth
The top side expands, making the pot look like a truncated cone.
Inset top side
Press the letter I for inset, type 0.07, then press Enter. This leaves the pot wall.
Extrude the pot cavity
Press the letter E, type minus 0.4, then press Enter. The soil hole is formed.
Pot cavity band
Press Tab to exit.
bo bana Auto Smooth
Add a bevel with amount 0.02 and segments 4, then Object, Shade Auto Smooth.
Material terracotta
Assign a material with hex color B5593A, with roughness 0.7, like terracotta soil. Add a thin cylinder as the soil.
: Soil inside the pot
Location Z 0.85 and scale 0.44, 0.44, 0.03.
Soil inside the pot
Assign a material with brown color and roughness 1.
Plant stem
Add a thin cylinder for the stem. Location Z 1.35 and scale 0.03, 0.03, 0.5.
Gen an
Apply a dark green material and shade smooth.
Plant stem
Add UV unwrap, make the face look like a leaf with scale 0.4, 0.12, 0.03,
One leaf from UV Sphere
Location X 0.4, Z 1.55, and rotation Y minus 25. Then apply all transforms so the center of the leaf moves to the center of the pot.
Duplicate circular leaf
Since the center is already at the center of the pot, we just need to press shift D then enter, and fill in rotation Z 60 degrees. Repeat 5 times with a multiple of 60, so the leaves surround the stem.
Floor: Plane and material
To prevent the object from floating, we add a base. Add a plane, change the scale to 5 on all axes, name it table, then apply a material with suitable color and roughness.
Adjust the camera
Now the camera. Click the camera in the outliner, open the object tab, then fill in location X 3.85, Y minus 4.38, Z 3.12, and rotation X 70, Z 41.3. Click the camera icon on the side of the VE port to view from the camera perspective.
Adjust the light
Set up the lighting. Click light, open the data tab, then fill in power several hundred and radius 0.8. A larger radius makes the shadows softer and more natural. Open the world tab and fill in strength 1.2.
World lighting
This provides soft environmental lighting, so that parts not illuminated by the light are not completely dark.
Render engine Cycles
Open the render tab. Change the render engine from EV to cycles, the rendering engine that produces the most realistic images. In the render section, set Max Samples to 64. Denoise is already active to clean up noise spots.
Render » Render Image
Open the render menu and select Render Image. Wait a moment while Blender calculates the light, shadows, and reflections. And here is the result, it looks like a real photo. Press Escape to close the render window. Finally, save through File,
Save the .blend file
Save As, name it tanaman pot.blend, then click Save As. Done. Subscribe, like, and share. See you in the next tutorial, Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Want to master creating 3D models with Blender?
