Part 1 Kind of But Not Really Done!
Okay, first thing’s first, I know I usually do daily updates and the like and I haven’t been doing that this week (and will unlikely be doing throughout this class) and for that I apologise. It infuriates me because I love doing the best I can and thinking outside the box somewhat when it comes to homework but this month I just have absolutely no time. This is mostly due to the fact that the Epic Pumpkin Contest has been taking up almost all of my time, that combined with a couple commissions I have, I haven’t worked this hard at Blender since the vehicle modeling course. I still read every message sent my way and I’ll do my best to answer as many questions as I can, but I hope everyone understands why I might be a bit slow at times.
Now, to the important stuff.
I decided to tackle the vehicle shading part first, which required returning to 2.8. Whilst I must say it’s grown on me a bit I’ll be returning to 2.79 when the class is done because right now it’s way too unstable and buggy for me to work with (crashed ~15 times today).
Something that’s surprised me this week is it seems not a lot of people in this class came from the vehicle modeling class, as I haven’t seen many cars from that class. In a way it’s a good thing though, shows CG Cookie is growing! As you can probably tackle from that I’ve returned to my vehicle from that class (for the unawares it was a Rolls Royce Silver Spur II Limousine). Whilst I was proud of what I had created that class I still didn’t feel like it was good enough to put on my gallery due to meh shaders, so hopefully that’ll be rectified in the coming days. Now whilst I haven’t finished them all (exterior is pretty much done aside from the ground though) here’s the render from the vehicle modeling class (2.79 Cycles):
And here’s the one I recently did (2.8 Eevee):
Still can’t get the hang of shadows…
Well, that’s it for now, if you’ll excuse me me I’m gonna head back to Blender for a bit before I fall asleep, and for you guys I wish you all the best in your Blending!
