BC1-1808 Homework, Aaron Rudderham

@thecabbagedetective If you really want the bear standing, then might as well start again and sculpt it standing if you have no interest in rigging it.  But that’s just my opinion.

@thecabbagedetective I LOVE those spinning things of your!! Can’t get enough of it 😃

Cute bear you sculpted 😊

I watched the rigging course and found it all so difficult that I didn’t even start on the rigging a dog exercise…. so I would start over too, but that just me 😉

Really amazing work. btw how do you make them turning animated? love it how you work. the bear also is amazing but indeed if you redo it maybe sculp him in the pose he should be . but he is really Nice sculped

@thecabbagedetective Rigging is a tricky thing. If you haven’t dabbled much, it’s probably going to be faster to start the sculpt over than to get a crash course in rigging. This is a solid blockout though. I’m excited to see where you go with this.

Love the character turntable btw. You nailed those guys.

[Aaron Rudderham]

@silentheart00 Yeah @theluthier seems to be saying the same. It’s a shame but it’ll probably be quicker anyways, cheers.

@smurfmier1985 Why thank you, by the end of Week 4 you’ll certainly be seeing more of them so stay tuned!

[Aaron Rudderham]

@yukinoh1989 Whilst I could explain it that’d be quite a long post so instead I’ll direct you to this video which shows you how to get a turntable animation set up and then this video which details how to render an animation. Do note though that there are a few things different things you’ll need to do if you’re using 2.8 but if you’re having issues just ask and I’ll do my best to help!

[Aaron Rudderham]

@theluthier Aha, thank you! Thanks for your and everyone else’s insight, I appreciate it!

[smurfmier1985]

@thecabbagedetective I’m already hooked to the ‘Aaron show’ so I’ll keep some snacks close by while being glued to the screen waiting for some awesome stuff to twirl by 😬🍿

[Aaron Rudderham]

I love the skin modifier, it’s so reliable. I love when it looks perfect then I move one vert by a fraction of an atom and the entire model implodes on itself like a black hole.

[smurfmier1985]

@thecabbagedetective That pesky skin modifier.. 😫 

‘don’t you dare tease Aaron he has to make some cool stuff!’ 

[Aaron Rudderham]

Day 1.5 done!

Just a mini update. I tried making a new sculpt standing up like was suggested but due to the skin modifier being a pain and just generally not being *that* great at the sculpting stuff I wanted to throw my tablet out the window and decided “screw it” and used a combination of the rotate, grab and thumb brushes to make my previous model stand up. Not anatomically correct by a long shot but it’s a great starting point I feel. If there’s anything glaring you feel the need to point out (example would be the stubby snout) be sure to to!

[silentheart00]

@thecabbagedetective Well, do what you can to get that thing modeled lol.  Looks good as far as I can tell, but I don’t look at bears all day, so I don’t know the proportions.

[smurfmier1985]

@thecabbagedetective Nicely done! 😁 does look a bit like he’s balancingg on his toes, maybe the feet should be flatter? Dunno much about bears though so that’s about all I can contribute.. very curious what for scene you’re gonna make!

[Ken Claassen]

@thecabbagedetective Great start, looking good so far. 

I had a look at some pictures of standing bears. I notice that their legs (knees) aim a little outward and are a little more bent. Additionally I assume you’re making a bear with raised arms ready to attack in which case they all seem to have their arms bent down a little and then up rather than being straight out.  The other common bear pose I see on google search is with arms hanging straight down in front but it depends what you’re going for I guess. Of course you could totally be planning to do these things  already since this is just a blockout but thought I’d mention it anyway. Additionally maybe separate the arms from the body a bit more (underneath) and make the snout a bit longer.
