Reply To: I really enjoyed the course!
Hey, I made another one. After RELIC and TREAD I was finally able to finish a piece without looking anything up.
The most difficult piece was the pattern on the metal grip and the chalice. For the Grip I fiddled around with Geometry Nodes, got close, and gave up. If you have an Idea on how to create these woven, spiraling, flat metal strips with that crease, I’d love to hear suggestions. I ended up using the normal texture of the Vinyl Couch in InstaMat.
The chalice was pretty tricky as well, the topology ended up not that great and I had to use a cage for baking. The problem that I was not able to fix is the rhombus shape. I tried adding support loops, but the subdivision kept rounding it out. Would you in this case try to Bevel after the Subdiv? Or do you have other ideas?
