Just practicing a small start to finish project.
Got a long way to go but I do see improvements even having a lengthy absence from Blender.
Using Blender 4.4, Machin3 Tools, Material Works and Affinity Photo.
i used one of STANISLAV KACHINSKII's Sci-Fi crates as a reference. He did a lot better job. I included his Artstation link of the crate below.
