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 "I don't care for Blender's sculpt system" - out of interest is this because you use another software or just not too interested in sculpting in general?
cptken It's more like the settings are a bit difficult to understand instinctively. What the heck is Subdivide Edges or Subdivide Collapse? I'd rather just sculpt and have it update than to go fiddling with settings half the time.
silentheart00 Good star on your character's head bust so far 👌 I relate to what you mean about Blender's sculpting system being unintuitive at times. The way I think of subdivide edges is "subdivide" + "edges", where subdivide suggests topology will auto generate and "edges" means that edges can be maintained. Subdivide collapses is the same meaning of subdivide, but "collapse" suggests edges aren't maintained and geometry will perpetually collapse based on your detail size.
Hope that helps at least for those settings.
Week 3 WIP 2
Got a bit busy yesterday, and friends are visiting this weekend, so we'll see how far I can get.
silentheart00 Ah, it's starting to look like your picture! Great progress 😊 hope you will have enough time to work on this some more, love to see the final one.
ssmurfmier1985 Thanks! I'm glad it's starting to look like Kilyn. Taking a break right now.
silentheart00 wow what an improvement . really love it how it is going . you already see the resemblence . good job hope you get it finished but even if not this is really good already :D
yyukinoh1989 Thanks! If I don't get this complete this week, there's always next week!
silentheart00 ears are hard. Especially non human, but human-like :) Looking good so far.
silentheart00 Looking good! Try making the nose a bit smaller and also check the profile of the forehead. The forehead is a bit bulgy and seems too far forward. Other than that it looks like it's getting pretty close.
