About
3D World-Wide - Wendy Huther
I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has visited my website or YouTube channel. Balancing this hobby alongside the demands of life has been quite the journey over the past 24 years.
Hi there! I'm Wendy Huther, originally from New Zealand but having spent most of my life on the captivating Costa Brava in Spain. Together with my son Daniel Larrotcha, I co-founded 3D World-Wide, an educational hub dedicated to graphic design, 3D art, and animation.
Our journey with 3D World-Wide began in March 2001, and it's been a dynamic ride filled with evolution and growth. While my son embarked on his own pursuits, I've continued nurturing our platform.
In January 2011, I ventured into the realm of YouTube, and started Wendy Huther YouTube channel. We were excited to broaden our horizons and offer a vibrant visual platform to share our passion with even more people.

Finding Inspiration for Blender Art: How I Fell in Love with Low-Poly Style
One of the questions artists often hear is: “Where do you get your inspiration from?” For me, the answer is simple—it’s everywhere online. When I’m looking for Blender inspiration or fresh 3D art ideas, I often turn to platforms like YouTube and Pinterest.
Recently, I made a low-poly stylised well after browsing YouTube and Pinterest for ideas. It’s a simple scene, but I had a lot of fun putting it together—mixing different concepts I came across and experimenting with a bright, cheerful colour palette.
