Darius's Blender progress

I wanted to track my progress so I wrote this. I am a complete beginner right now, I hope things will change. This is the low poly rocket from the course for beginners.

    The rocket looks great and some motion blur is also included 👍!

  • Florian W(elcangrejo) replied

    I really like the size you chose for the smoke particles! They look really cartoony and kinda joyful!

    I am following the 3d modeling fundamentals course right now. Here is a sword I did on my own to exercise for the course.

    A weird Robot I made

    Thats cool! Keep up the good work!

  • Shawn Blanch(blanchsb) replied

    Looking good. Once you feel more comfortable with these exercises go to @jlampel course called the Mesh Modeling Bootcamp. You look like you are getting close in experience level to take that on.

    Thank you for the tip, I will look into it.

    The sci-fi crate I made from the 3d modeling fundamentals course.

    This is my low poly room, I may add something on the desk, It feels a little bit empty.

  • Ingmar Franz(duerer) replied

    Looks already great👍! I would just add a chair and a carpet and give  the walls a warm color.

  • Jonathan Lampel replied

    Nice one! Love the chess board. The scale and thickness of things feels a little off to me. If you measure and model accordingly, I promise you'll be surprised by how much difference it makes. Keep going! 

  • dariusjohnson replied

    I tweaked things a little bit and added more color. I am not sure about the scale but the desk seems a little smaller than it should be.

  • kroneborge replied

    go out and find real world dimensions for things in your scene.  That way you make sure to get the scale right.

    Last update on the low poly room.

  • dariusjohnson replied

    I created a car wheel using modifiers for the Modelling with modifiers course.  I am going to try sculpting next.

  • dariusjohnson replied

    This was extremely frustrating and difficult to make due to constant crash and low framerate. I would have liked to refine it but I have come to a point where if I do anything Blender crashes. Guess I have to postpone scultpuring until I have a better computer (the one I have right now is pretty old).

  • Ingmar Franz(duerer) replied

    Excellent model, especially the face expression👍! The shark really looks hungry and I hope that I'll never meet him in real life 😉.

    I can also recommend you spikeyxxx 's tire treads modeling tutorial. It shows an advanced technique using drivers and is definitively a tutorial jewel✨ so that I've added it to my bookmarks!
