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.
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 Sorry to hear you were in a dark place, but I'm glad you got music and and art to help you through. Can relate to those being best friends in a situation like that.
Your render does look moody indeed, nice stuff lying around there, well done!! 🙂
silentheart00 The Earth Song is very melodious. Hope the pain subsides and is replaced with a brighter week. I like the detail in the drawer handles.
silentheart00 Don't know about the lighting but colors are really good
silentheart00 Eevee is different in a lot of ways, I don't understand all of them either. I see that the shading class has been scheduled for October and Kent plans to spend some time on Eevee shading - that's going to be very useful I think.
I'm glad you're able to cope with problems using art - lots of people say it's very cathartic. I don't know if I find a similar outlet in my own stuff yet; I focus on realism it seems, and there's not much room for expression there I guess. But when I'm working in Blender - like if I've got a good few hours to just sit and do nothing else, I hit a kind of groove and the outside world just disappears for a while.
Thanks ssmurfmier1985 swikni jakeblended
It was a tough week, but things aren't as bad as they were now. Frank Ticheli is one of my favorite composers because his music is so rich in sound; it's a pleasure playing his work. I just have to remember it's a bad day and there will be better tomorrows, but it's easy to get lost in the moment.
Looking forward to that shading class, Jake.
silentheart00 Damn, I hope you're feeling better now, both physically and emotionally. I appreciate the experimental use of colours, both in the materials and the lighting, good stuff.
silentheart00 Oh my, what a musical accompaniment. Changed my mood in an instant. The colors and low light certainly reflect it. Thanks for sharing your personal side to this submission as well as the work itself. It's an A from me 👏
@theluthier Thanks. Hopefully I can figure out a texture workaround and add more to this later.
Week 3 Melvin & Primitves Sculpt
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. On to the extra credit!
silentheart00 haha that posterior indeed! All 4 sculpts look really nice. You work fast too 👊 Go crush that extra credit.
nekronavt yyukinoh1989 @theluthier Thanks! I thought it'd be fun to give Melvin a little booty lol.
silentheart00 That booty is funny 😂 I've been looking forward your sculpt since I saw the drawing, hope you post some WIP's in between!!
ssmurfmier1985 Thanks! I don't care for Blender's sculpt system, but I'll try it for this class. Gotta start somewhere.
ssmurfmier1985 Thanks! Definitely need to sharpen up some spots, but getting there!
