Reply To: BC1-1808 Homework, Katerina Novakova

Phew, I’m happy I managed to finish this one on time. I always find hard-surface modelling difficult to estimate. What seems manageable at the beginning quickly eats up all the time in details. Anyway. I’m sorry to say that I had to do this in 2.79. I started out in 2.8 but I found out that “apply scale” doesn’t work (it’s more of a reset right now). And since I wanted to model it to scale… well. I thought I might texture and render it in 2.8 but when I opened it with that version today I found out that Bevel – Weight option is also broken. So, 2.79 all the way. And while I’m listing my transgressions I might also add that I used MultiRes sculpting for the eagles and flower details. I don’t think that I could’ve done it with box-modelling.

The clock was made to match this reference from eBay (pretty decent place to go hunting for various angles of the same thing). I didn’t use any textures (apart from HDRI) – everything is modelled.

So, here are the renders, the Blender file for 2.79, and the blog post: https://honestmisskate.blogspot.com/2018/08/antique-clock.html
