Follow along to see how Kenny models, shades, lights, composites, and renders a glowing stylized honey jar in Blender, start to finish. Kenny walks through the whole scene from an empty file: the glass jar, the honey inside, the cork, the drips, a custom label, and the final animated render.
This is a perfect 2nd Blender project if you've taken the Blender Donut tutorial.
