Challenge 3: Why This Capstone Matches Blender Fundamentals' Own Capstone Shape — Solution Walkthrough

Summary:

This capstone builds one complete character end to end, step by step,
in the order a real character production would actually use each
technique — the same narrative-session shape Blender Fundamentals used
for its own simpler still-life scene, rather than the side-by-side
shape used by Raster Editing Fundamentals, Vector Graphics, and Figma.

Why the capstone shape follows from the course's own type, not its
scope:

Per this chapter's own tip box, this shape fits because Blender
Advanced, like Blender Fundamentals, is a single-tool course — there's
no second tool being taught alongside Blender throughout either
course, since (per Chapter 1 of Blender Fundamentals) Blender has no
single clean proprietary counterpart the way Photoshop/GIMP,
Illustrator/Inkscape, and Figma/Penpot each had. A side-by-side
capstone only makes sense when two tools' own equivalent workflows are
shown together at every step, which never applies to either Blender
course.

Why this holds even though this capstone is genuinely more ambitious:

This capstone is a considerably more complex production than Blender
Fundamentals' own simple still-life scene, but that added complexity
doesn't change the underlying course type — both are still single-
tool workflow courses, so both get the narrative-session shape,
scaled up in scope rather than changed in kind.

Why this isn't an arbitrary repeat:

Capstone format follows what a course is actually teaching. Both
Blender courses independently arrived at the same narrative-session
shape because they share the same underlying course type, exactly the
same reasoning already established across this site's other single-
tool courses.

WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER
------------------------------
This exercise checks that the narrative-session capstone shape is
correctly traced back to Blender being a single-tool course in both
Fundamentals and Advanced, not to how complex or ambitious a given
capstone happens to be.
