r/3Dmodeling (about 1.5M members, directory rank #711) is for showing 3D models, artworks and designs. Blender-specific help and animation news each have clearer homes.
See also blender vs 3dmodeling on SubMouse. Unrelated directory names are omitted.
Stay on 3Dmodeling to showcase models across tools. Use blender for Blender software community help, animation for animation news and shorts, and Design for broader design discussion.
