Six hundredth blog post! Bananas seemed to be an appropriate topic. I'm really beginning to get the hand of modelling in Blender. So - here for your delight, I present, 3D rendition of a banana above and the paper version printed out using the Blender Unwrap tool.  

I'll reveal the secrets of the design and supply a file for you to make your own (!) shortly but it is getting late. Time for a hot choc I think.

I look forward learning more about Blender. I am sure I have not given it the time that it deserves.

What might be interesting is for you to create a similar model in SketchUp and for us to compare notes.

A model of an organic shape, in Sketchup...? This sounds challenging. I will give it a try and we shall see what happens.

Okay - the gauntlet is thrown down! Or the banana skin dropped...

If you have dropped the banana, then I have taken it up.

We shall see which program offers the best (a)-peel.

Looking good!

I see your banana and raise you a peeled banana.
