BC1-1908 Homework, Avi

@ghujelk Its a real size house , the Barrel-like structure is 3×5 meters which in my mind , is a proper size for a small barn or guests house.

looks very cozy. This little House-barrel remind me on Empy´s Island-Titiwu and the home of the cleanly Wutz.
Or maybe a kind of hobbit home
I like this style.

@avirozenboim Nice, it reminded me of these barrel saunas I’ve seen. Here’s a pic:

@ghujelk Yes have seen these exact while researching. Thanks (BTW I just replaced the main image. On my work PC it looked too dark, its annoying that every monitor shows efferent results)

@avirozenboim I 100% affirm your aim to evolve your project this way. Evolving creativity is the digital artists’ lifeblood!

The model looks good and authentic for the most part. My only note there is to de-straighten some of the straight structural features as the art suggests:

As for the texture, my primary criticism is a lack of detail. If these are meant to be dwellings that humans/hobbits/elves/etc then the model and textures need to have enough detail to support the scale. Currently with the textures being more broad and less detailed, they look like miniatures. The art has a lot more fine detail like wood splits, roof tiles, and moss/grime at the base near the ground. 

So it’s a B for the lack of detail but I’m bumping it to an A since you’re pushing yourself in a great way 👍

Homework Submission- Week 3

Got long way to go with texturing and shading , could not get the the objects to look good , I think I should have kept it simple and not do such a complex scene on my first course , but anyway this is what I got. 

I was really disappointed to see that whatever I do , the render is always pixalated when I zoom in 🙁 

Thanks for a wonderful course , learned a ton , especially with modelling .

[Kent Trammell]

@avirozenboim I’m so impressed with this final result. It has a kind of impressionistic aesthetic to it that I never expected. From the way it’s lit to the unique sky texture…I can’t help but call it Art (with a capital A).

I also really like the procedurally textured ground pattern. It’s a great way to add some interest to a simple plane. On that note, the only critique I offer is that the edges of the plane are obvious:

This is a common issue that’s a dead-giveaway that this image is a 3D render. I recommend that you turn the plane into a circle and fade away the edge, it won’t be an issue any longer.

In the end it’s a very small note compared to how pleased I am with the final. It’s an A+ in my book! 👏

PS: Would you be willing to let me download your final .blend to possibly show how to blur out the ground plane edge in the stream tomorrow? If so, please pack your .blend file to include the textures (File > External Data > Pack all into .blend) then save with a new file name adding “_packed” in the name. Then use dropbox or google drive to provide a download link for me.

@avirozenboim Wow, I give you massive props for swinging for the stars and even more for sticking the landing!  Excellent effort, good balance of detail.  Not much to critique besides what Kent pointed out.  Good job!

@theluthier I am  blown away from your comments ! Thanks so much.

On Friday I took day off from work so I can complete the modelling (figuring out the very top shape was not easy task for me , but when I did it, on my own , the feeling was amazing , it was actually simple)

BUT over the weekend I just could not get the textures/shaders   to look good . I woke up Sunday morning and said , ok give up. 

felt great , like a stone was lifted from my chest …. but in the afternoon I said give it another go , forget what you are expected to do just do what you can  and love . Changed barrel material to be 100% procedural , and I felt like I am cheating , but as I was after more of atmosphere rather than realism , It was a good compromise .

Today I came back home and said , Ok you must do the treasure chest again ( I never got to the texture part of it) , but had no real energy . Trust me I am full of energy now!!!! 

I have shared the file with what I think is your email , please let me know if you did not get it.

I just figured out how to get a link so hope this one will work

@silentheart00  – appriticate so much ur feedback , even though I can only guess what you said , no one around me heard of these saying  🙂 Its ok Google help me … thanks 

[Kent Trammell]

@avirozenboim I’m glad you didn’t give up. Your perseverance paid off! There was a specific painting that your render reminded me of but I couldn’t think of it yesterday…then today I remembered:

“The Persistence of Memory” by Salvador Dali. They just feel like they belong in the same world to me. Cool stuff.

PS: Thank you for the file, Avi
