Homework Submission Week 3
Well, gonna have to call it a week here. Really hoped I coulda done more but this was a week I was meant to be taking easy (aka playing XCOM 2) so I’ll be going back to this sometime after class. Seeing as I was advised by @smurfmier1985 to not pursue the retopo and fur due to the time it would take I instead focused my time on adding a few details, touching up proportions and putting the bear into a pose, which without rigging is… annoying.
Here’s a close up of his mug. I feel like I coulda put more detail into the gum but I think for now it looks decent.
I decided to not really adjust the primitives exercise. It’s not perfect by any means (cube could be more sharp, same with the cone though I quite like it with the curved tip personally) but I think it’s good enough.
I tried uploading the Melvin sculpt to Sketchfab but it’s not working for me for some reason so I’ll upload it tomorrow. For reference though here’s the original exercise I did which was 4 months ago apparently, jeez. Time flies. Naturally I wouldn’t want that counted for my homework though so the redone version should be here by midnight Monday, I’ll update this post.
I don’t have a turntable for you today I’m afraid, but I was messing around with the rotate tool and found this oddly hilarious so maybe you’ll get a chuckle out of it too.
With that being done I hope you’ve all learnt quite a bit this week, sorry again for being rather inactive and not being too helpful but I’m hoping to pick up the slack in the upcoming week. Have a good one!
EDIT: Melvin 2.0 is done! The Sketchfab link goes here but just for old times sake here’s a rendered version!
You can probably tell I like experimenting with lighting…
In an attempt to one-up my original, not only did I go off reference only and not watch the tutorial, I managed to get this done in a couple of hours as opposed to the entire day the original did (there’s a link up above to my original one) whilst also adding extra details. Sometimes when learning skills you feel like you’re never getting anywhere but simply looking back can do wonders for morale. Don’t get me wrong it’s far from perfect, but I truly believe I’ve made strides.
With that being said I wish you all a goodnight and to have a good one, come tomorrow I’ll have absolutely no Blender work whatsoever (unless I decide to touch up on the primitives) so I’ll spend my time catching up on the individual threads and see what I’ve missed and possibly helping a couple of you out. See ya!
