BC1-1808 Homework, Andres

[Andres Altuve]

@smurfmier1985 Thanks Miranda, it has been really hard, but I’ve learn so much that is totally worth it. After I’m done here I will finish the modeling Bootcamp course and learn new things and get better at this.

@aaltuvem Andres I adore your consequent working style, exact plan what you aim to learn and how much time spending on it, thanks for sharing in such details.

Your Week2 submission is quite ambitious and the WIP already looks promising, keeping the fingers crossed to finish till the deadline

[smurfmier1985]

@aaltuvem Another nice WIP, I think it’s great you’re learning so much that’s the most important part, keep it up you’re doing great!

[Andres Altuve]

@smurfmier1985, @csehz  thanks guys! hopefully I will be able to finish.. At the moment I’m stuck in the middle part.

I came up with the solution of connecting the last edge in the end to where that part should end, added couple of edges using the knife tool and shape it a little bit.

Here is the result, a nice curve and now working on the details, hopefully this solution will work if not start from scratch that part again.

So far, besides learning the tools and how the edges flow and how affects the mesh I also learnt that a 3D model is like programming, a model is like a big problem that has to be broken in small problems then solve each little problem to resolve the whole thing. That is the approach im using.

@aaltuvem that’s a great description of how it works, good approach too! If this doesn’t work for the curved shape you could try using proportional editing, don’t know if you know it? If not I could find a video for you which uses that approach to create this kind of a curved surface for an anvil base (but maybe you already know it, it’s from blenderguru). It’s usually faster than the knife tool for this kind of thing and usually gives a more balanced result, better flow in the shape.

@smurfmier1985 Hi Miranda, I have no idea what proportional editing is, Im going to look for that video! Thanks for the tip!!

@smurfmier1985 THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

[Kent Trammell]

All this info you’re sharing is 💰. Thanks for that! And your model is really coming along nicely. Quite fun to follow. Keep it up!

[Andres Altuve]

@theluthier Thanks Kent! Still a long way to go..

Looking good!

[Andres Altuve]

I’m sorry guys but I won’t be able to have the pilder ready before the homework deadline, when I began the project I knew it was a challenge and this could be a possible end, I’m still stuck with the middle part, still need to figure out how to build it. I will keep working on it next week and have it ready before the last class of the course.

That being said, here is the homework submission for this week, it is an headphones, nothing interesting. It has a couple of details that must be fixed but I don’t have time to do it.

As for the pilder, I will start working as soon as I finish the next class homework.

[smurfmier1985]

@aaltuvem Aww.. but hey, now you got a kick ass awesome project for the last week! Good to take the time to make it really nice. Taking a couple of days doing something else can work wonders, when you come back to it with fresh eyes you see things you didn’t saw before. 

Your headphones look good! Nice job 😊

[Andres Altuve]

@smurfmier1985 Thanks Miranda! Yeah, I really want it to be done but there are still a lot things I don’t know.. I will finish it before the last class! 

Thanks again!

[Pavel Mazanik]

@aaltuvem Simple and cool for sure. 🙂

PS: I notice that the arc part of your phones probably has inverted normals.
