BC1-1908 Homework – silentheart00

[silentheart00]

@drgnclw Thanks!  With the new wonders of woodworking, you too can create this device!  Just have a block of wood and a knife ready!  Presto!  In as little as 100 man hours, this device can be yours!  Order today!

Or, y’know, 3D print it or something lol.

[silentheart00]

@jack07 But of course!

@silentheart00 It is looking great seeing as how you had other priorities to attend to. My one thought is perhaps having the ability to trigger the bow from the wrist action (like the spiderman “thwip!” wrist gesture). It’s your model though haha. Just trying to picture how it gets triggered to release the bolt (crossbow arrow).

[silentheart00]

@blanchsb That’s what the front plate is in front of the bow, the trigger.  The concept was it would shoot a bolt as you punched to deal extra damage.  There was a video on how a crossbow worked that showed the inner mechanisms but I can’t seem to find it.  Luckily, I copied it down and altered the design to work with a punch instead.  Good suggestion, though.

[Shawn Blanch]

@silentheart00 Ahhhhh. Got it. My bad. That is an interesting use for the cross bow. I thought it was designed for more range, but I can see how that works.

@silentheart00 Sorry to hear life got in the way this week. That kind of thing happens a lot doesn’t it. On top of that the time you’re spending helping as a VA is likely taking away from the project itself..

Still you’ve made great progress! The shapes are reading well – certainly like a believable crossbow. The only thing lacking is some detail, as you pointed out, like dents and dings (assuming you want the aged look).

I feel like a jerk for this, but the stone-cold grader in me says B+

There are just a couple of details to settle and it is done on the modeling front

If you add those details this week I’ll add a + to week 2’s grade 👌

[silentheart00]

@theluthier That’s tempting.  I better get rolling!

[silentheart00]

Oh holy moley, I am quite far behind.  It’s been a crazy week, and I’m doing my best to catch up, not only on my model, but also on this Volunteer Assistant thing.  Phew!  There are quite a bit of you, and that is really awesome to see!  Let’s do our best!

[Zsolt Cseh]

@silentheart00 Silent what can say is that this model is awesome, in spite of any of your difficulties with the time. Very interesting construction there visually and even wooden elements are included now.

In quality you are around at the top and surely being not far behind at all

[Omar Domenech]

@silentheart00 I like how it looks like a spaceship from that angle. It is looking cool. 

[Aaron Rudderham]

@silentheart00 It’s amazing what small details can do, those dents have really brought this thing to life, I’m really looking forward to the textured version!

[Jack]

@silentheart00 Woah! Those details really make it pop!

[silentheart00]

Thanks everyone!

I have really struggled this week between all these lovely random events popping up.  I was working on the textures last night and my power went out.  So…….. I am going to try my hardest to get as far as I can today.  Have mercy, Almighty Kent.

Onward!

Week 2 Homework Submission

Phew!  I did it!  This thing is textured!  I might mess with the cavity map a little bit to help really make those edges pop.  I’m excited for the shader section next!

Hey @silentheart00,

that’s a nice job you did here! I think you choce good colors for the leather straps, the metal pieces and the bowstring. The texture painting you did on the wooden part is awesome. I love how you did the vein. I can’t wait to see the result after week 3. Keep it going mate!
