In 2017, I decided to build an art nouveau door using Blender. I felt that this would be a significant challenge for my skills as they were then. This post is how I went about that. It is not so much a tutorial as a record of my efforts.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Inspiration and initial design<\/strong><\/p>\n

I like to start by finding something upon which to model my thoughts. In this case I really liked the following door that I found on Wikipedia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I decided that I was not going to completely replicate the door in the picture, but just get the essence of it. To do this I used MS PowerPoint to draw a rough draft of what I wanted to achieve. I use PowerPoint because it permits me to draw very simple shapes and, at the end of the day, most objects are made up from simple shapes. Notice that I created two objects:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. the hole in the wall for the door<\/li>\n
  2. the door itself<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    As you will see,\u00a0my vision was to create 4 elements in Blender:<\/p>\n
