  This week I made two cabinets, a high cabinet and a low cabinet and I learned that a lot of small objects that look complicated are usually stitched together with simple things.

After I learned the basics of blender, I decided to practice modeling interior scenes. Since I didn't know anything about it, I looked for a cartoon-style tutorial rather than a realistic one to help me get started with indoor content. This week, I finished the basic scene - the floor and walls, doors, Windows and light switches.  In this process, I focused on learning the use of interpolating surfaces and the use of bridging loop edges. Especially the bridge loop edge, which I find very useful when making Windows, doors, or when you need to connect two identical objects. My window and simple dumbbell models here are made using this knowledge.

 I use rotate rotation and add random value to  control the random direction of the sprinkles to increase realism. Then I learned something like how to make sprinkles more natural.Such as using  the node  distance min to change the density and increase the scale of sprinkles to make it looks more thick. I learn how to use nodes making colorful sprinkles.

 How to make different donuts such like making different sprinkles  ·using modify:simple form to bend the column During this process, sprinkles are still straight and looks so strange. Rotation is a good way to change direction of sprinkles. I rotate the original four initial sprinkles to change the whole disrection of spinkles and apply rotation otherwise it will not save the data of Rotation.
