BC1-1908 Homework - Jack

Collaborations

I can't believe it's been a year, I shouldn't have got myself frozen! 

Anyway, this is going to be a busy month. I did the treasure chest course last week, and it was so much fun I decided to start a modular set for a fantasy tavern, take a look: 

I only  have a tillable floor complete and the block of a door with a frame and a wall. The barrel and sword are going to go along nicely! If I finish in time...

Also, the sword!

I'll probably try to make other pieces with a different style, to mix 'n match 'em. I love modular stuff.

I have no idea how I'm going to get enough time, I also wanted to make a demon king... decisions, decisions!

    Love the curvature of the blade, looks really organic

  • silentheart00 replied

    jack07 Oooo, extra challenge!  Looking good so far.

    Maybe for the tree part, you could sculpt it, then retopologize.  Give it a shot.

  • Jack (jack07) replied

    silentheart00 That's not a bad idea! I'm experimenting with curves, but I'm not sure it's going to look how I wanted.

    Maybe a mix of both will do the trick...

  • silentheart00 replied

    jack07 Go for it.

    jack07 yaay I'm thinking ahead, Blender really improves my prefrontal cortex.

  • Jack (jack07) replied

    We are definitely getting there! Thanks silentheart00 !

  • silentheart00 replied

    jack07 No problem!

  • Aaron Rudderham(thecabbagedetective) replied

    jack07 Looking nice! Maybe you could have some little twigs branching off the "handle" using curves? Though that might be overdesigning a tad.

  • Philipp Bauer(cruento) replied

    I am very impressed! Great work so far!

  • spikeyxxx replied

    jack07 Great so far! I love it how the tree looks like a hand!

  • richm replied

    Loving the aesthetic of the sword. Can't wait to see the full textured model even though that's far off

  • Jack (jack07) replied

    @thecabbagedetective Thanks! I'll see if I can add a one or two ramifications to the tips, thing is, those would probably break on first use lol.

    cruento  @spikeyxxx rrichm Thanks!!

  • Jack (jack07) replied

    The sword so far! I simplified the handle to make it more comfortable, I think the main shape is ready, but maybe it needs to be thicker? What do you guys think?

  • spikeyxxx replied

    jack07 Looks good, but yes, the handle could be somewhat thicker.

    Try putting your hand around it;)

  • Clint Johnson(clintjohnson) replied

    jack07 Neat idea Jack, the blade looks like it would feel great and a bit hefty - which is good!

    Homework Submission Week 1

    Disclaimer: The chest was done before this class, just wanted to add it to the scene.

    I ran out of time for this week, the walls took longer than expected, and need a lot of extra work. But overall I'm pleased with how it's turning out!

    Here's a better look at the items I made for homework:

    The regular sword keeps giving me the feeling it will spontaneously break...

  • Kent Trammell replied

    jack07 What a collection! I'm really liking what I see so far, Jack. I almost didn't notice the dagger on top of the coins. It will surely stand out much more obviously one textured and shaded. 

    I don't have any criticisms at this point. The quality of your modeling is evident and the fact that you're modeling 3 assets certainly earns you an A+ this week. Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see more from you👏

  • silentheart00 replied

    jack07 Nice work!  That scene is going to look so nice!

  • Jack (jack07) replied

    @theluthier Thanks a lot! I don't know why the blade is so difficult to see, I think it may be too flat? Maybe I should worry after shading lol

    silentheart00 Thank you!

  • Shawn Blanch(blanchsb) replied

    jack07 I was instantly on the look for that blade and figured it would be the prize in the chest. I wasn't disappointed. Nice work!
