This is my thread documenting my progress in the Collab2021 project.
Homework Submission - Week 1 - Crate
@theluthier
Here is my blockout of the crate. All the pieces are there. Cracks and blemishes are still missing. I added tha last planks and redone alot of the existing planks, because i overdid it with bevel and the facecount got quite high
nice work , its a good blockout :) with some extra details or sculpting it will increase even more
Great work, amblender š! I'm looking forward to your version with cracks and blemishes š!
amblenderĀ Just a quick reminder. We still need a name for our team? What's your vote?
[Note: I know that one of the proposals is from you. It's just for having your final vote]
1) Shabby ChicĀ
2) All Access(ories)Ā
3) Shabby Fresnel ChicĀ
4) The Stan DalonesĀ
Finally setup the camera and corrected the normals. Now everything is a nice blue
Excellent work for week 1 amblender! Are you the one who had the idea to add shelves in the crate? Ingmar told me and it was a resounding YES in my modeler soul. Brilliant way to introduce function while remaining true to the art. You get full points from me this week š
I saw below that you're starting to add wood grain details into the model. Maybe wait for the stream tomorrow to see how sculpting works with assets like these :)
Question: @createtaiwan and duererĀ
During Kent Stream i realised i only use a few different forms of planks. And for the sculpting porsion it would be easier to only have to sculpt those few planks.
1) should i just use linking the object data between the similar planks?
2) @createtaiwanĀ You use 4 modeled pieces to put together your fence. Is that a method i could use or something similar?
amblender I would use the method of repeating a very small set of basic elements that Kent @theluthiers proposes hereĀ (scroll down to the orange frame) for the construction of the fence. It's also the method that Kent applies hereĀ in his "Treasure Chest" course: Reusing duplicated planks rotated upside down or backside to the front helps to reduce the work significantly. And who can tell that you reused a plank from the crate part visible in the artwork on in a hidden place š?
I decided on shared objects as well for nnow i have 5 different planks to sculpt, i might look into Ā reducing it to 2, then i can use my time sculpting.
I`m not shure if maybe a 3rd board of the short planks should be sculpted. for more variety and not too obvious repetition.
amblender with 15 planks along the long side of the and 4 possible orientations of the two planks together it sounds to me like a good idea to sculpt a third plank for more variation. I would maybe add a few dents to the edges of the long planks as well as you already did on the short planks (bottom right corner of your screenshot above).
