      Great idea Jonathan, just finished rendering day one, I only saw your post this morning ( Germany time).

      This is really good for me, because I sort of got stuck. I am really slow, so having a deadline is a great stimulation and it’s fun!

      So here’s my sofa:

      I gave up on sculpting, because it made it look like leather;) But still, it’s not about realism now, is it?

      I will have a four day time-out, because I will be going to Holland to visit my family, but as I understand, that won’t be a problem.

        Here is my render. Didn’t use any textures for it. It’s based off a lamp I have in my place. Need to figure out how to cast lighting with emissive objects and have SSS for the glass. I did learn a quick way to create wires using the path curve.

          Day 2: Lamp

          I decided to make something modern / industrial looking to compliment yesterdays sofa. I also updated the sofa with a little bit of proportional editing on the cushions and a displacement modifier on the whole thing to make it look a bit more organic. And I played a bit with the lighting in Eevee. It was fun! Pretty happy with how it all turned out 😊

            @jgonzalez nice shapes! curves are wickedly easy for wires, great job on that. 

            As for emision: I would just stick a Point Light in it. If you want to see a bulb you can also stick a sphere in it with just a simple emissive material (just use an emission node instead of principled shader), but if you’re using Eevee that alone won’t work well so you have to use both the point light and the emissive sphere, but if you’re using Cycles you’re settled with just an emissive sphere. And maybe make the glass material transparent and play with the roughness and such. SSS won’t help you here, that’s something for human skin and leaves… 

            Things like transparency and SSS are all build into the principled shader so playing with those sliders can get you some nice quick results. Fun to experiment with! This is a great tutorial on all it’s features.

            Hope this helps..

              Here’s my lamp. I didn’t get to texturing much or putting a light into. It will go into my file of almost done desktop models I have. Someday I will render desk.

                  Updating the original post to include the object for June 3 for all those on the other side of the world. Hopefully this schedule of releasing later in the evening works out better for everyone. Great renders so far!

                    A day late to the affair but time to get started! Finished the lamp here in about an hour (not including rendering) and I’m pretty happy with that, not sure how I feel about the textures as that’s always been a weak spot for me but I feel it’s getting better along with my modeling. Read a little bit earlier in the thread about using SSS with the glass which I didn’t do here, and I’ll be damned if that doesn’t intrigue me, ready for next time!

                      @jgonzalez Yeah this is great! Now I can look for reference during lunch break and get started right away when I get home from work, instead of rushing it late in the evening… and in weekends I can even get started in the morning. Awesome, thanks Gonzo!

                        I’m sorry for being late but I still wanted to participate. I’ve been feeling so lazy modeling all of these smaller models to my current project eternity and this feels like a good way to get some motivation. In the best case scenario there are 30 more items added to the cottage environment by the end of the month!

                        With that said, the theme is going to be oldish or maybe almost primitive.

                        Here are my sofa, lamp and bookshelf, or what’s left of it 😄

                              Here’s my lamp, thank you Jonathan, I learned a lot today! Riging with Bendy Bones, the Screw Modifier and some other tricks. Normally, I would have spend at least a week adding details and tweaking shaders and lighting and what’s more, but somewhere you’ve got to stop, and knowing when to stop is kinda hard;)

                              Anyhow here’s my lamp:

                                intresting idea . question i see june 1 sofa , june 2 lamp , june 3 book shelf. do we need to follow that or just follow the rule of home theme ? so like for example june 1 we could also sculpt a table , june 2 bath etc …
                                kinda am curious . might not be able to do all days but i like the idea . first want to know how things works of course :p

                                  Great Idea. I just saw it this morning.  So I start with the Day 3 Bookshelf.
                                  I already notice that I will learn a lot.
                                  I hope to be able to do something every day because honestly – I clearly need more practice 😉
