📣 Assignment #3: Finalize 50% of your chosen Part
May 14, 2020 – June 7, 2020
For the assignment period between stream 3 and stream 4 the focus is finalizing aspects of our chosen backhoe parts. We all know by now that this level of complex modeling is slow and tedius. Therefore my expectation for assignment #2 submissions is to complete at least 50% of your chosen part. You can of course go further than 50% if you’re able but 50% is the minimum goal.
Everyone start from the same file
I still think this approach is best. After each stream I will upload a .blend for everyone to the corresponding stream page. For example, on the stream 3 page you will find the MASTER_caterpillar-434e_model_03.blend file available to download.
*Note that the scale of all objects (including reference images) has been increased slightly as I mentioned in the 3rd stream. Everything *should* be accurate for measurement checks.
Assignment Submission
I’ve added a new tab to the Google Sheet labeled: #3: Finalize 50%
The names of contributors are carried over from the second assignment. To submit for assignment #3, contributors just need to make a comment containing a link to their .blend file in the Attempt cell beside their name
The DUE DATE for assignment #3 submissions is JUNE 5, 2020**
Individual Forum Threads
We’ve outgrown this main thread. Every day it’s more difficult to make sense of our communication. So we decided in stream 3 to create individual threads for each contributing artist. The idea is for all communication regarding specific parts to take place within individual threads. Still check the main thread for general communication, questions, assignment prompts, etc.
Calling all contributors of the Dog Pound: Please create a new forum thread (as a homework submission) with a title following this naming convention:
Backhoe Contribution – Username – Part Name
I’ve created one for my part as well if you want to see an example.
Showcase Trailer (WIP) from @pfbourassa
If you missed the premier, here’s the wicked cool trailer pfbourassa is working on. Imagine how cool the final cut will be when we’re done modeling 🤩
Tire Demo from @spikeyxxx
Don’t miss the chance to hear the voice of a legendary CGC member! Spikey has taken the time to record a quick demo of his clever tire-modeling approach. Spoiler: It’s way better than the one I showed on stream.
