BC4-1810 Homework, Aaron Rudderham

[Aaron Rudderham]

@yukinoh1989 I answered your question, hopefully that’ll give you a push in the right direction.

But yeah, when you first start something always prioritise being precise and being correct over being fast, with repetition the speed will come. I’m still a slow poke when it comes to certain things and I’ll still got a lot to learn, but you’ve been progressing at an impressive rate so keep it up!

@thecabbagedetective Thank you for the compliment 😊

Maybe the scale is off? I think the floor planks should be wider, considering this is a small toy truck. At least that’s what my gut feeling is telling me..

[Aaron Rudderham]

@smurfmier1985 Hmm, you may have a point. I redid it and it looks much better so cheers for that!

[smurfmier1985]

@thecabbagedetective Yeah that looks a lot better, awesome 😬

[Aaron Rudderham]

Also this is completely unrelated to everything but I posted this in the Discord server (which y’all should join btw) a while back and meant to post it here, but turns out you can’t get triple digit notifications. I’m sad to say that CG Cookie is now completely unusable and this must be rectified ASAP.

Thank you for your time, and now back to Blender.

@thecabbagedetective That’s the best looking bedroom I’ve seen posted in this exercise. No question about it. I was aiming to have an exclusive truck party in my… erm… livestream thing, but this is so good it needs to be in there. The colours, the mood… splendidly done. 🙂

@thecabbagedetective what can I say… You rock, man 🙂 And Suzanne easter egg 😀👍

[smurfmier1985]

@nekronavt @thecabbagedetective Wow I totally missed the Suzanne Easter egg, lol! 😆

I think the main problems with the robot arm are:

1.  It isn’t shiny enough.

2.  It needs to be brighter.

3.  It needs dirt and scratches.

4.  The lighting should be more plain; exotic lighting just makes it look weird unless it has context (such as the rest of the robot).

5.  The background should be different.  I’m not quite sure how, though.

You always put 110% effort. You’re nuts!

Are you using Eevee on the toy truck render? I’m seeing some non-cycles evidence where the wheels aren’t casting believable shadows on the floor:

The wheels end up looking like they’re floating.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone texture the simple bedroom. Both day and night turned out pretty well! My only real note on the daytime scene is that the pillows look plastic-y when I would expect them to be diffuse fabric. It’s got a great mood to it in general though.

The night scene is a little dark imo. We know from the day scene that there’s a lot that’s hidden in the dark which is sad.

I gotta give you the A++ for effort this week. You always go above and beyond. Don’t burnout again though! The ++’s aren’t worth that 😅

[Wilco Wilbrink]

@thecabbagedetective Wow! Love your daytime bedroom textured scene. Great mood! Me to didn’t see the hidden Susanne until Miranda mentioned it. I just gotta ask: are you British? 😊

[Aaron Rudderham]

@shiennar  You flatter me, thank you! Sorry about throwing a spanner in the works though lol, glad to hear you’re doing the slideshows again though!

[Aaron Rudderham]

@nekronavt Ayy someone noticed it! And thank you very much, it’s appreciated!

[Aaron Rudderham]

@williamatics Alrighty, lets get in depth:

1. You think? If I remember correctly the roughness is at like 0.2, but it does still look rather plastic-y, I admit. Odd.

2. This seems to have been a pretty common criticism throughout the week, but I’m not sure if I can sacrifice the mood any more, and it’s meant to be dark and brooding but obviously bright enough so you can see what’s actually there.

3. Absolutely! Though fortunately the arm is merely a WIP that’s meant to tease a different project, so they’re definitely going to get added.

4. You really think so? I personally quite like the lighting. Though you definitely have a point about context, which the finished render definitely will have.

5. Yeah I have to agree, seems a bit bland maybe?

I really appreciate your in-depth feedback, so thanks for that! I’ll certainly take what you said on board.
