Week 1 Homework Submission

The class thread has been so active. I have mostly been reading the comments, questions, and answers. So far with my experience in 2.8, I am finding the Outliner to be a bit of a challenge. I created collections with objects and later found some collections empty and the objects in the orphaned area. So sad. I was unsuccessful in “adopting” them back into an active collection. I definitely need more time with that editor.

Here is a screenshot of my house project. It seems a bit sickly…. bad case of the “shingles.”

Locking nice, the shingles looks great and give it quite the nice look

For the collections I find easy to assign them by selecting o nthe viewport and then pressing M to move them to the desired collection, even gives you the option to create a new one.
Also under view menu you can find open GL render, this will render the 3D view as an image if you need to.

@ullreym Those shingles are awesome. My modeler’s eye immediately went there 😅

Overall the whole house is good. Love the support timbers. Very detailed for a primitive exercise. A+ from me, good sir 👍

PS: I too have found the collections to function…curiously. Like objects will get orphaned and I’m left scratching my head. Thinking it’s just a WIP status thing.

@theluthier If this is what I think it means about Collections, I think you have to select the one you want to work within in the outliner, and added objects should be under that Collection. Otherwise it defaults to the Scene Collection, if that makes sense.

@silentheart00 I think you’re right about that being the functionality. Perhaps I’m selecting and/or deselecting a collection in the outliner without thinking. Still very much getting used to it..

@theluthier Yeah, something to get use to, but at least you can still move things with M.

@csehz I am honored to be listed with such amazing artists. Thank you for your kind service of maintaining the statistics of the courses. I find it a fantastic tool to measure individual progress, boost a healthy level of competition, and ease Kent’s gracious distribution of CG Cookie XP. 😁

Week 2 Homework Submission

This week I worked on modeling with modifiers and recreated the iron torch holder from the Romeo and Juliet balcony scene in Verona Italy. I added some plants and a brick wall with cracked plaster. The flame is from the new Grease Pencil tool.
