I started off by making a single cube and bevelling all sides of it to give the little bit of curve, and also so I could give it a black border, so it looks a bit more like a real Rubik's Cube. I scaled this cube down, so it was 2cm each way, making it 8cm³ like a regular chunk of a Rubik's Cube.

I textured the Rubik's Cube using a reference I found online showing the colours of each side, so I could make sure I got it correct for what colours are on each corner. Now that my model is textured, I decided I want to randomise it so I can do the solving animation and to make sure that i could make sure i get the moves right and I don't have to solve it myself. I got a website to generate a randomisation algorithm for me so that I could just animate the reverse of each move. Very glad I thought of that because I did not want to have to solve a Rubik's Cube myself...

The Rubik's Cube is the first model I actually finished, although I started making some a while ago and decided I would make them as I am not very happy with their quality. I think this model has come out really well, and I also animated it, which I will attach below, but before that, I will talk about the process of how I made it in the build-up for the final product I have with it animated.

Next i used a few array modifiers to get the 3x3x3 of the cubes to make a total of 27 so i could then go on and texture them with each colour for the different sides and make this look like an actual rubiks cube.

This is the randomised cube i had an i will attach the animation under this, i think it came out quite well to be honest and im pretty happy with the outcome of it and the fact i managed to get it to done in good time even though i had some issues trying to get it animated until i worked out the correct way to animate it.
