BC1-1808 Homework, Aaron Rudderham

[Aaron Rudderham]

@silentheart00 Yeah you got a point, I toned it down a bit. I wanted to do back details but aside form spots I wasn’t sure what to do. I believe you were the one to make him bootylicious so I didn’t wanna steal that haha. Thanks for the feedback!

Day… well not really a working day, but a day done!

Today was a good day methinks…

It was honestly kinda weird doing absolutely no Blender at all today. A part of me feels bad because “wasted time” but I know deep down it’s important to cool down, and hey, these two games – one being a new arrival – helped a bunch!

Gonna start work on the final project tomorrow, concerned if I’m gonna be able to finish it so I’m just gonna have to go full throttle ala previous class and then have a serious cooldown period come the class’ end. Speaking of the class I’ve been looking at some of the submissions you guys have posted and daaaaaamn you guys have been doing good, makes me wish I tried a bit harder haha. I haven’t looked at all of them yet but hey that’s what tomorrow is for.  For anyone tidying up their sculpts I wish you the best of luck and I wish all of you the best. Peace!

@thecabbagedetective Sounds like time excellent spent to me! 😉 Very curious what ya gonna make this week.. I’ll stay tuned!

@thecabbagedetective Two thumbs up on the torso/legs proportional shift. It looks way more bear-like imo. Overall a great job on the bear! He’s come a long way. It’s awesome seeing progress like this through your WIP images 🤘

Primitives is good, especially that sphere – wow, super spherical. Melvin 2.0 came to rawk. Good stuff, Aaron – A+ this week 👏

You can probably tell I like experimenting with lighting…

You’re going to love October’s class.

@thecabbagedetective R&R&R: Rest, relaxation, recharge 🔋

@thecabbagedetective Even if it was just spots on his back, it would feel like it was at the same polish quality as the front, if that makes sense.

@thecabbagedetective Aaron your personal class room seems bigger meaning longer than the main thread of the Class 😀 

Great sculpting again, you again put everything into the week which was possible

Anyone got an idea on how to cut a hole into a cylinder side whilst still being topologically correct? It’s also on a metal surface so I want to use the bevel tool around the edges to sharpen it up. Can’t really find an image of what I want to do unfortunately…

[smurfmier1985]

@thecabbagedetective maybe the tips here help?

Day… 1 done?

Bit of a late start for me, research needed to be carried out. I’ll just have to pick up the slack in the coming days but I must say the discoveries were worth it. I learnt that Yakuza Kiwami 2 is indeed a great game and you should get it (though get Yakuza 0 first).

Whilst I don’t want to give away what I’m working on *too* much I will say that I’m expanding on my week 2 homework, the Clank one. For today I was working on this female infobot which shows up in the second game and is promptly never seen again.

I gotta use my imagination a bit because my PS2 is in the attic and there are no good reference images online (aside from this one I suppose) so I’m gonna need to fill in the blanks. Here’s what I got so far:

No one would believe I like this HDRI…

I’ve already spotted a location or two in which it can be improved but I like what I got so far. Now would be an excellent time for a turntable… IF I HAD ONE. Promise you’ll get one tomorrow! With that being said I’ll be catching up more tomorrow, both in my exercise and in the threads, and I look forward to what you guys are creating! See ya!

[Aaron Rudderham]

@smurfmier1985 Didn’t get a notification for this, odd. Either way that could definitely point me in the right direction, so cheers! I’ll have a more in depth look when I wake up.

[smurfmier1985]

@thecabbagedetective Yesss! I was hoping you would carry on in the Clank area, love that stuff 😬 Looking good so far! Very nice shape 😎

[smurfmier1985]

@thecabbagedetective Google and I have a special relationship, he’s always secretly showing me things he hides from others.. 😜 all kidding aside, I’m glad I found something that might help you on your way. Looking forward to your day 2 pic!!

[Kent Trammell]

I like that you’re continuing the Clank project @thecabbagedetective 👌

[Aaron Rudderham]

Day 2 done!

Wish I coulda gotten this robot done within the day, but what can you do? Decided against it because the eyes would be a little complex so I decided to do some smaller props (which I’ll have to hide due to spoilers) to compensate until my brain works. Unfortunately I might have to delay this until Monday ’cause even with the compensation I haven’t done as much work as I’d have liked, I hope that’s n big issue.

I’m rendering the turntable now but it looks like it’ll take a while so I might need to upload it tomorrow instead, we’ll see. With that being said I hope you guys are doing well and I’ll see you next time.
