Homework Submission – Week 2 – Roof
I wasn’t sure if this submission should be titled as week 2 or 3, but decided for 2 since it’s the sculpting work I should have done last week ^^’
Fun fact, I had tried to start sculpting with my mouse at first but quickly realised that it was far from optimal, and was lucky enough to have a friend of mine agree to lend me her tablet for a few days 😀 I think it really helped me not to get frustrated too much x)
Here’s a screenshot of what I think is the final product (the four tiles without sculpting will be duplicates of the first on the left):
I really enjoyed this, and at least now I know I need to buy a tablet for the sculpting :p
Among the issues I encountered, here’s a screenshot of something that happened quite often, and I haven’t been able to find out what exactly caused this “seam” to sometimes appear while I was sculpting.
Another mistake I kept doing for far too long before realizing it was that I used the multi-res modifier without high enough subdivision values. I did most of the wood beams before thinking about trying a level 5 subdivision (instead of 3), and so I kept wondering why a lot of my brush stroke looked kinda “meh” and “pixellated”. Had to go back and redo almost each one of them, but then I also realised some of the planks (one of the smaller ones and one of the medium ones) had some geometry issues, with crossing edges and not really correctly placed vertices. I did my best at fixing those too.
Anyway, not the greatest sculpting I’m sure, but for a first time, I’m still quite proud of how it looks ^^ I should have a bit more time next week so I hope I’ll be able to catch up with the rest from there 🙂 Thanks for reading !
