BC1-1908 Homework – N647

[Jake McCluskey]

@n647 That’s such a clever use of modifiers and reuse of your pieces to make that barrel. I like how warm the colors are!

[Philipp Bauer]

@n647 , I love your painted wood texture, really impressive!

[Kent Trammell]

@n647 Welcome back to class! You sure know how to make an entrance 🤩

Your chest is gorgeous. A truly exquisite example of the treasure chest and barrel projects. I love LOVE the wood knots you included in the wood textures. Also the fleur-de-lis detail is lovely. Texture quality is fantastic…it’s all just beautiful.

You’ve earned an A for week 1 and an A+ for week 2 both for the quality of the work and for sharing insight into your workflow. The way you re-used pieces to achieve the whole object is very clever. Nice job!

I know this whole scene will look amazing shaded and lit 🤤

@n647 Beautiful work! I wish I had made the chest. 🙂 The details like the fleur-de-lis, hinges, and handles look perfect.

[n647]

Thank you all for the nice comments, I m happy you liked the little extra details here and there, hope the little WIP and description of the process was clear too.

[n647]

@theluthier Thanks, I was looking into the chest tutorials for a while so this was the perfect chance to jump in, hope the little insights are useful to someone.

Was also looking into using some simple deform on the floor planks to slightly warp them and create a bit more variation

[n647]

Started working on the materials, set up the metal and some compositing for the render

Added little speckles to the metal and the hammered like effect, but used the blur we saw at the end of the class to soften this a little
still deciding on the HDRM and maybe add some lighting

[n647]

Worked the wood material now, since I had a per element AO map that highlighted the crevices, I used that to add to the bump map too.
And as I read in another topic, I went for a fireplace HDMR with a orange light and added a spotlight on the back with a slightly blue tint to get some rim light and make like is light from a window or door

@n647 Sorry, I’m late to the party.  Great work, dude!  Not much to critique.

[Kaj Suominen]

@n647 good stuff, i’d change the floorplanks color bit more darker than the chest and barrel. Kent’s Chest course goes through this setup perfectly.

[n647]

@silentheart00 Thanks, well everyone seems to be quite busy, thanks for stooping by and checking out

[n647]

@louhikarme Thanks, yea I just finished watching, and did some adjustments, also was rendering with the wrong HDRMI

[n647]

Well here we go, changed the floor material and put the right HDRI and the spotlight for the rimlight
also added some bloom and

Also made a second render with a more dark and less saturated HDRI

Maybe should up the saturation a bit on the second one

[silentheart00]

@n647 Personally, I think the higher saturation really helps to sell this as a stylized piece.  Do what you will with it; it is yours, after all.

Homework Submission Week 3

Ok I decided to go with the second HDRI and add a point light on front for the warm light

Also added a lattice to the chest to give it a few curves, but apply as a shape key, so I could dial the deformation later, or could be used for a animation, also made most coins silver with a few gold ones

Lastly I added the coins inside with a simulation, made the coins a static object for this you have to apply visual transformation, also coins falling trough, I solve that by increasing the physics steps where collisions are calculated, this is on scene > Rigid body world, and then increase the step per seconds and solver iterations.

with that think I will call it done here

*edit: added the logo decal on the barrel
