BC1-1808 Homework, Aaron Rudderham

[Kent Trammell]

@thecabbagedetective If I understand your question correctly, the material looks plenty close to the reference imo. However the environments (for reflections) and lighting is what’s really different. Try to find a city-at-night hdri.

@theluthier Haha why thank you, it’s like that with pretty much everything I’ve made so far, just that niggling feeling of “Yea you did good, but you coulda done BETTER,” it’s a mindset I need to get out of really.

You’re right about the HDRI too, though I feel another thing is I have to make the black materials more accurate as well, I’ll definitely give it a shot!

[Aaron Rudderham]

@smurfmier1985 Ta very much! Definitely a good point, though with the idea I have I think the chrome will be much better. It’ll allll make sense soon…

@thecabbagedetective Just waiting patiently over here.. 😉

Good work so far.

Day 2 done!

Managed to get the majority of the body done, just missing a few details like the coil under the arm or the screws on the hands. Was kinda hoping I could manage to get Clank completely finished today but oh well, not sure if I’ll manage to get the full scene done but hey, nothing stopping me to do so after class is finished! Also I think I found a balance for the main material I like, and @theluthier was right in that a different HDRI really improved its look, so thanks!

Also as a small bonus here’s the Day 1 WIP animated, which I wanted to show yesterday but due to it taking a while to render I had to wait. There’s quite a few dents but most – if not all – have been ridden of now.

[smurfmier1985]

@thecabbagedetective This is looking good! The other HDRI helped a lot I see, the material looks awesome. Keep going you’re doing great 😄How do you make that cool animation?

[Julian B]

@thecabbagedetective Looks awesome so far Aaron! Can’t wait to see the final result!  🙂

thats quite a great job so far 😀 , you really did a lot of work in quite a short time

[silentheart00]

@thecabbagedetective Good work!  There’s some pinching on the top back at the corners, if you’re not aware.  Otherwise, good work!

[Kent Trammell]

@thecabbagedetective Ahh yeah, that HDRI is working much better. Good choice! And overall the model is lookin great. Looking forward to day 3 🍿

@yukinoh1989 Ta very much, it’s probably my favorite series ever so I got some extra incentive to do a good job lol.

[Aaron Rudderham]

@smurfmier1985 Whilst I would explain that’d take a loooong time, so here’s a video on how to get a turntable set up, then once you’ve done that this video will tell you how to render an animation. Do be warned though, they take their sweet time! If you have any questions detailed in the videos let me know, but be aware that they’re in pre 2.8 but ultimately the process is the same (there are a few differences though, like how to stitch the frames together instead of finding the video editing drop down you instead open a video sequencer window).

@bsdwerbeagentur Glad to hear it, thanks!
