Do you know what I am talking about?
One word: persistence.
I never gave up.
I always believed.
Always...

Ever since the whole pandemic began, I was looking forward to the next time Blender Conference would be hosted.

They look awesome, right?
But how to create them!
Supple curves mixed with hard angles can be a superb combo.
It is a great way to spice up your folio and hone your hard surface skills.

Blender is easy to learn, especially if you follow our tutorials.
The main goal of Blender Bros is to help YOU get better at hard surface modeling, and Blender in general.
But wait! We go far beyond that!

For most people, it was a period they'd much rather forget.
Being forced to sit and listen to stuff you don't care about for 8 hours per day - ugh. We'd much rather be working on something more productive!

Sometimes it's just fun to play around with random shapes in Blender.
It allows you to maintain and test your skills, improve your workflow, and create fun pieces to add to your collection.
