Set the Scene
Open Blender and clear the scene to make room for your fruity masterpiece.
Pineapple Base
Add a cylinder to the scene and scale it to create the base shape of your pineapple.
Texturing Fun
Switch to the Shading workspace and create a new material for your pineapple. Choose a vibrant yellow colour for the base, reminiscent of a ripe pineapple’s flesh.

Use loop cuts and scaling to create the diamond-shaped patterns on the surface of your pineapple. These distinctive details will give your fruit that iconic look.
Leafy Crown
Add a cone or cylinder to represent the leafy crown of the pineapple. Position it on top of the pineapple base and adjust its shape to resemble the spiky leaves.
Texturing the Crown
Create a new material for the crown and choose a bright green colour. Add some variation with a noise texture to simulate the texture of the leaves.
