Homework Submission Week 2
Welp, Monday is upon us, and you know what that means, homework deadline! I think I did pretty good with the time I had though I didn’t have any time to tell stories this time around. First up is the car, in which I used the limousine I made in the vehicle modeling class. Again, here’s the render from that class:
And here’s my finished (for now) result from Eevee:
(Update: Thanks to @gradyp for helping me realize a couple flaws, it has since been improved slightly, though when I have more time I intend to improve it further) It has its problems, naturally. The weird artifacting on the number plate is bugging me (shoulda probably tried using is as a texture instead but didn’t have the time), there’s not much in terms of imperfections (though being a limo I imagine it’s kept in tip top shape) and due to the previous render being rather dark I thought I could get away with a fairly low-detailed engine under the hood, but now it kinda sticks out. Oh well, when the next episode of “Storytime with Aaron” arrives I’ll be sure that’s fixed.
Speaking of fixing things I was going to take shots of the interior as well but as of right now I just do not have the time nor the skill to do it justice procedurally. I made the leather and plastic look nice enough from a distance and for now I think that will suffice. Trying to do that glossy finished wood stuff is a lot harder than it looks haha.
Also full disclosure, the road is a texture, this one specifically, but I did use nodes to give it a wet appearance, also the sidewalk and the sidewalk brick divider thingy were done procedurally. If this is a problem by all means tell me and I’ll change it.
NEXT!
It appears that @specialfx is the gentleman who provided the inspiration for this week’s lighting match, namely this scene, so be sure to give him some love if you already haven’t. I decided to use my own plane from the HSM fundamentals course in an attempt to replicate it the most.
^ Goal ^
^ Result ^
Good lord my plane has not aged well lol.
But back on topic, there are some issues, like the shadows are sharper and lighter in areas in the goal than the result, also the goal just generally seems darker. Still, don’t think I did bad for 20 minutes. Here’s the setup I used:
Well, that’s that done for the week! If anyone has any questions or wants me to share something by all means go ahead and ask! With that said though I think I’m going to take a bit of a break from Blender and relax for the next few hours. Have a good one!
