Antonio’s Progress in the 3D world

[Antonio Cribari]

I’m excited to join the CGCookie community to push myself further into the realm of 3D! My progress may not come from a 100% beginner level, but having something to keep track of where I’m going seems extremely helpful. I’ve completed a few tutorials on YouTube provided by Blender Guru and Grant Abbit and decided to come to CG Cookie for more focused learning. I’m definitely serious about honing 3D skills for various applications, namely VFX and video work. If I could get some 3D models into games one day, that’d be pretty fun too!

For this log, I’m going to keep track of anything I’ve created by means of CGCookie.

I’m starting the Fundamentals of Modeling course and I’ve completed the exercise in primitive modeling. My example here:

I based the pen off of one of my stylus-pens as seen here:

Oh, I like this!

Multiple objects, nice colors, simple, but very effective notebook and the pen is just gorgeous!

Welcome to CGCookie!

Looking forward to seeing more.

[Antonio Cribari]

Thank you for the encouraging words! I’m super excited to keep going, this stuff is definitely fun.

@antonioc  That looks great. I think we can expect to see some really good content from you in the coming days! “Welcome to da Cookie”

[Antonio Cribari]

@blanchsb Thank you very much!

I decided to give a go at making a robot in the Fundamentals of Modeling course. I wanted to add a bunch more detail, but I liked the simplicity far more. I was going for a music-bot kind of thing. Definitely fun to put together!

good job looks to be nice clean modelling, keep going…

[Jonathan Lampel]

Welcome Antonio! Those simple objects are looking great. Can’t wait to see what you can make by the end! 

[Matthew Fricker]

Great work , you are off to a good start. Keep them coming! 

[Antonio Cribari]

Thanks everyone! Your encouragement means a lot! Keeping a steady pace.

I took my time really playing with all of the tools today. After replicating the crate in the Fundamentals of Modeling course, I decided to make my own to put some things to the test. I think I made it a little too busy, but I definitely learned a lot with maneuvering the various tools and how they play together. Here’s my crate!

I don’t think it looks too busy, but why don’t you look at a really sweat guy, who knows what he’s talking about; coffee/ Blender expert ‘Gleb Alexandrow’

Wow! This is incredibly eye opening. I’ve always understood this concept with colors and composition for video work, but I’ve never considered it on the basis of objects. Thanks for sharing this! I’m definitely going to practice that concept moving forward.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted an update on my progress, so I figured I’d upload something now! I’m working on the room assignment slowly in-between working from home and other projects. I decided to create a kitchen. I like all of the little objects found in a Kitchen’s setting and it could be some good practice. I’m pretty happy with it so far!

I haven’t textured the countertops yet. I plan to add a kitchen table and some chairs, and more various items of course! Taking my time with this is extremely helpful in learning pitfalls and troubleshooting.

[Matthew Fricker]

wow you’re getting a lot of detail into that kitchen , great start!
