So far, Iโve gone through the Basics course twice, then revised the Gamepad course twice too โ really wanted to make sure I didnโt miss anything. Now Iโm moving into the Core Fundamentals series, and Iโm ready to level up my skills.ย
I created this topic to:
Track my progress over time.ย
Share renders, notes, and thoughts.
Stay motivated and connected with the community.
Iโm still new (just a couple of months in), but Iโm trying to be consistent, and I really want to grow as a 3D artist. Feedback is always welcome!
Letโs go! ๐
1st mission completed
Uhh i see now...not gonna lie i was kinda worried ๐..
Thank u martin as always.
Okay, so Iโve completed this vintage rotary phone model today.
As usual, Martin and Omar helped me a lot. Well, I canโt say this time that I made this model completely without watching a tutorial, because I had no idea how to make the coil cord so I had to check that on YouTube. I also watched a quick 5-second video just to figure out how to arrange the dial holes evenly. The method was simple, but I was getting confused, so I had to take a quick look.
Any feedback guys?
Thank u omar and martinย
Omar after using subdiv level 2 the probelm solve. Thnak u for the feedback.
First of all, thanks again Martin and Omar for helping me out with another prop! ๐ Here it is โ I finally managed to make it the way I wanted, just like in the reference image, and even added some extra details too. Didnโt need any tutorials this time either! ๐
What do you guys think?
Feeling much better today โ and I finally finished this model! ๐ Core course lessons helped a lot with edge adjustments after the Boolean workflow. Big Thanks to Jonathan Lampel (Awesome Teacher ๐)
Wow that is a lot of good looking models there, that is a lot of work that went into that.ย
Now you have to go for the art side of things and make some good renders out of them. Set up lights, camera angles, go for the good shots and materials to make an appealing visual render.ย
Wow I think this looks great. Such a smart idea to model a series of objects that integrate into a single scene. You'll have to unwrap and texture all this now :)
Ohh, I didnโt notice your messages earlier โ thank you so much, Martin, Omar, and thehomme! ๐
I was sick again, so I couldnโt work on Blender or check messages for a while. Iโm feeling a bit better now and finally caught up with what you guys said.
Omar, thanks a lot for your suggestion. What I was thinking is that Iโll first complete the challenge Jonathan Lampel gave us after the Core Modeling course โ to create 30โ50 objects and make an isometric room. Since that part of the course focuses only on modeling, I want to build a strong foundation there first before moving on to other things.
As I continue learning more sections of the course (like lighting, materials, and texturing), Iโll apply those directly to these same objects โ that way Iโll get consistent, hands-on practice. But if you guys think I should tweak this plan a bit, please let me know โ Iโd really love to hear your opinions.
Also, I finished a simple model today. Itโs full of n-gons, but I used bevels and the Weighted Normal modifier to fix some shading issues. Itโs just a flat piece, so I went with basic modeling this time. Here is my vintage cabinet, yes u can open the doors and the drawer haha.
Thanks again, Martin, Omar, and thehomme โ you guys are the best! ๐
It's completely up to you and really it depends on your goal. Keep modelling if that's all your interested in but I'd extend and test yourself by trying to UV unwrap and texture one of your models - the desk should be fairly easy and is a big object in the scene. The telephone or the radio will be harder but not too hard. The fundamentals of texturing is longer but better than the equivalent Core course

That sounds like a solid plan to me, Deb!
And I think it's a good thing to get some N-Gon modeling in there as well๐๐ป
Another model finished! A Chesterfield sofa ๐ค
I needed a bit of YouTube help for the patterns since I had no idea how to make those ๐
So its a still win right ๐ค?
