Freshly Baked Weekly Challenge 13 - CG Cookie Coffee Mug

CGC Modeling Challenges
Wes Burke

Hey Blender Fanatics! 

With CG Cookie's birthday on September 5th (Happy 16th Birthday), I felt motivated to challenge us to model some swag. Enter the cliche coffee mug model! 

This was one of the first pieces of swag we created for our little project. It sports the classic CGC eyes. 

A coffee mug is a great object for practicing 3D modeling. It’s simple in shape but provides opportunities to explore modeling techniques like creating curves, handles, and hollow objects.

You can also experiment with texturing by adding different materials, like ceramic or glass, and even try a logo or design on the surface.

It's manageable for beginners while offering enough depth to feel rewarding!

I challenge you to create this 100% in Blender! Let's go!

    My version of the coffee mug.

    Unfortunately I messed up the lettering, that's why i only show it discreetly haha. I probably should have used an image instead of a mesh - next time.

    Is this mug actually for sale somewhere, I somehow fell in love with it. Happy blending ♥cup2.png

    You mean you made a typo? No I really want to see the other side.

  • Leo (wod) replied

    unfortunately no typo. Here on the left was my problem. I created a text object and then converted it to mesh and tried to put it on the mug with shrinkwrap.

    On the right I created an image with gimp. It's not accurate but now I have a workflow for next time.

    Hi Leo wod ,

    That is mostly a matter of tweaking the Shrinkwrap Settings, I think:
