BC1-1808 Homework, Aaron Rudderham

[Aaron Rudderham]

@smurfmier1985 It would appear you would be correct! After applying both those things it looks significantly better so cheers for that!

[Aaron Rudderham]

@yukinoh1989 Why ta very much! I’m interested by what you mean by more detail on the nose though? Like maybe hollowing them out more or something?

[Aaron Rudderham]

@carrotnl THAT’S IT. Looks so much better now, appreciate it! Obviously still not a 1:1 but this was some great insight.

[Aaron Rudderham]

@silentheart00 Huh, not a bad price, thanks for the recommendation! My Birthday is during the next class so maybe I’ll pick it up then, maybe sculpt a character to light lol.

[Aaron Rudderham]

@smurfmier1985 Ayy not a bad choice! By the way if you ever get your hands on a PS2/PS3 I also highly recommend the first 4 games, they’re the best imo, but I beat the remake 3 times so you’re definitely in for a good time! I also decided to comprise a picture of a few (read: a lot more than a few) games that I’d recommend. The higher up it is, the more I recommend it, if that makes sense. I’m gonna assume you have a PS4, Switch and 3DS but if there’s a system I missed (or added you don’t have) then just say.

Bit blurry so I’ll just write them out (all Vita games here are on PS4):

Top tier: Persona 5, Yakuza 0

Second tier: Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse (best to play base SMTIV first though), God of War, Yakuza Kiwami, Bloodborne, Super Mario Odyssey

Third tier: Zero Escape: 999: Nine Persons, Nine Hours, Nine Doors (yes that’s the whole title), TLOZ: Breath of the Wild, Bayonetta 2, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Nioh, Zero Escape: Virtues Last Reward, Zero Escape: Zero Time Dilemma

Fourth tier: Danganronpa 1, 2, Ultra Despair Girls (haven’t played V3 yet), Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, Until Dawn, Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, Monster Hunter World

Fifth tier: Metro Redux, Diablo 3, Pokemon: Ultra Sun/Moon (only if you haven’t played base Sun and Moon and you’re not a Pokemon nut), Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

A few games I forgot to add were South Park: The Fractured But Whole, NieR: Automata, Doom 2016 and XCOM 2, but if you’d like a detailed explanation or reasoning behind any of these I’d be more than happy to give it to you. Happy gaming!

@thecabbagedetective bear nose 

you see.in the middel there should be a crease . as well near the side . hope this helps

[smurfmier1985]

@thecabbagedetective Heh heh,     spinning bear attack, lol 😆

Looks so much better!! Great work Aaron. Good you’re taking a slower pace. Still kicking ass with this bear so kudos for that 😬 glad my suggestions helped 🙂

Loving the teaser! Never listened to Manowar before, made me think of Dragon Force and Iron Maiden. After this I’m thinking it might be a rough though warrior bear with all kinds of cool dented scratched armor and blood on his paws. Could be totally wrong of course but that’s what I was thinking 😎

You will post it in your gallery right when it’s finished some time after class?? Wanna see it 😄

[smurfmier1985]

@thecabbagedetective You were almost right! Since I was a very disappointed owner of a WII with a horrific sweeping  controller I haven’t bought any more nintendo consoles, only handheld. Instead I saved up my money and went for PlayStation. So I got a PS4 and a 3DS.

I don’t have too much money I can spend on games since the bills come first so I only have a few, here’s my modest collection (they all fit in one photo lol 😛):

I love gaming! but I’m not good at it (played ratchet and clank only couple of hours Thursday and have died at least 15 times already lol), but through trying again and again I usually get there after some time 😬 Most of these games I have not started or finished yet, so I’ll probably be busy with them for a long time still, since I also spend a lot of time at work and learning at cg cookie 😉

Most of the games you mentioned I don’t know yet, which of these are in the same kind of genre as the games I own? So I think if I sum it up I like action rpg / adventure, platform games, bit of puzzles in between, good storylines. I don’t do online gaming or co-op, I’m a single player gamer all the way. And yes I’m a Pokémon nut too 😉

@smurfmier1985 I got my daughter into pokemon a few months ago. Now she is a crazy pokemon fan. She’s almost finished Pokemon Pearl and she is only 4 years old! 

[smurfmier1985]

@cptken That’s awesome! They learn so fast these days with all the technology we have 😄

[silentheart00]

@cptken Kids are such sponges at that age, it’s incredible how they can pick things up.

[Kent Trammell]

@thecabbagedetective Glad to hear you’re taking this week easier. Even still you’re making solid progress on your bear.  The legs feel a bit long to me. They could use some shortening and the torso some elongation to make it look less human and more bear-ish.

Also I really like the anatomy adcivefrom @cptken. Studying anatomy specifically won’t do much more for a modeler than studying images of the human body and learning to interpret shapes via light and shadow analysis. That perspective should free up any pressure to learn the names muscle groups and bones in favor of simply learning to form [any] shape.

PS: If you’re an aspiring CG professional, studio gig or freelance, you’re in the right place with CGC. Everyone here wants to facilitate an environment for our members to develop professional level skills. And I’d say you’re well on your way to getting there 👍

Day 5 done!

Most of what I got done today was looking up how to do fur properly, still not feeling the most confident about it but you never get anywhere sitting on the fence! Just not looking forward to making a low-res version of the bear to put the fur on, as advised, that stuff takes a whiiiiiile. I also redid the three primitives but I’ll probably tweak them a bit by tomorrow ’cause of areas like the lumpy cube.

With the bear I took the advice I was given, making his legs a bit stumpy (though they could possibly need a bit more), his body being simultaneous more elongated yet rotund.

Also I was showing this to my friend and he says that the mouth may be too big. I think he may have a point but I’ll let you be the judge.

Honestly if it’s the best idea to retopologise a variant of the bear to put fur on it I might forgo fur for this class in favour of just adding more details. Well with that being said be sure to give your thoughts, and have a good one!

[Aaron Rudderham]

@yukinoh1989 Oooooh I getcha now, something to add. Cheers!

[Aaron Rudderham]

@smurfmier1985 Why thank you! I don’t want to confirm nor deny your guess as to alleviate spoilers but you can bet it’ll be on the gallery when it’s finished.
