BC1-1808 Homework, silentheart00

Collaborations

My homework thread for the  August 2018 Class

Week 1


Week 2 Submission

Because my head and eyes hurt, and I can't figure out how to save the bloody UV unwrap map, here's my submission.

I was in a dark place the beginning of last week, listening to depressing music, and this piece was on my list.  Every single lyric in that piece resonates with me so very deeply.  I didn't have the happiest or smoothest upbringing. but music and art have always been my refuge; it has always made me pull through despite what I'm feeling or thinking.  My go-to outlet has always been music and art, so with those feelings of last week I put in them front of you now despite some bumps with 2.8.  There are things I still want to add, things to tweak, but I can't work with a headache and eye strain right now.

Sorry if some details get lost; still figuring out the lighting situation in Eevee.


Week 3 Submission

I did this a while ago, and I think the decimate modifier left some funky geometry.  Oh well.

Did the primitives.  The hardest is probably the cone.

Extra Credit

No hair, but some piercings.  Not loving the ears, but I guess I should do some ear studies, then.  Not loving the eye work either, but practice will help.

    silentheart00 Nice, getting some architecture here! Want kind of room will it be? just curious 😉

  • silentheart00 replied

    ssmurfmier1985 I haven't really decided yet.  I know the objects I want, but not the room.

  • smurfmier1985 replied

    silentheart00 Then I'll just wait and see how it evolves. off to a good start at least! 😁

    silentheart00 Ohh boy I'm keeping an eye on this one, I like architectural modeling and rendering!

  • Morten Fjellheim(arev) replied


    silentheart00 Very good, is it eevee?

  • silentheart00 replied

    aarev Yeah, it should be rendering in Eevee by default.

  • Kent Trammell replied

    @silentheart00 Your desk scene is shaping up nice. BTW I see you RSVP'd to this livestream - this scene could work well for that 😎

  • silentheart00 replied

    @theluthier Heck yeah!  I will take any classes you have!

  • silentheart00 replied

    Modeling a flute is going to take a lot of work.

  • Aaron Rudderham(thecabbagedetective) replied

    silentheart00 OH GOD THE BOOLEANS

    Good luck though my dude. Maybe instruments could become your thing? Look forward to seeing it.


  • silentheart00 replied

    thecabbagedetective That is a great gif lol.  The problem with modeling instruments is each manufacturer has their own dimension variation, so there's nothing online.  I'm using my own flute to get measurements.

  • Mahir Tasin(mahir07) replied


    silentheart00 Looks very nice good start. Maybe you can create a computer set if you haven't decided yet.

  • silentheart00 replied

    mmahir07 Thanks!  No computer set in this image.  I'll explain in my submission.

  • Kent Trammell replied

    I personally have found the default 2.8 viewport settings to be...less than ideal for modeling. Currently it's hiding your details imo. Maybe play around with other studio light setups or matcaps to do your model more justice.

  • silentheart00 replied

    @theluthier There will be simple shaders and the like, but the lighting I want to get is going to be a problem for the details.  Something to experiment with and figure out.

  • silentheart00 replied

    Quick test of lighting and materials.  I haven't messed with these as much as I would like.  Been a little busy.

    At this light level, you cannot discern any reflections or shiny things at all.  I want the lighting to be subtle and quiet, if that makes sense.
