Homework Submission – Week 1 – lantern 

@theluthier 

hi,

First attempt for the lantern asset. Any and all constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. Still very new to this kind of modeling:). Possibly a lot of silly mistakes or errors. And I am still thinking about the top part as it is a bit different in the artwork. But it is kind of hard to see.

Used for inspiration:

looking at the other entries for the lanterns I may have gone a bit haywire with the shape of this one :/

[yukino hatake]

nice work, its indeed diffrent from the others but i still love it 😀

[Ingmar Franz]

Excellent work, @szabi 👍!

[Szabolcs Regenyei]

thanks for the kind words 😀

I modified the top to be a bit more like in Vadim’s artwork

[yukino hatake]

great work the top looks much better this way 🙂

[Carlo]

Nice lamp, but maybe the bottom support is a little bit thin?

[Kent Trammell]

Nice job, @szabi! Very impressive for being new to modeling. You’ve easily earned full points this week 👍

I love the decorative detail at the bottom! Really interesting interpretation. Though it pains me to say…it should probably be omitted. Not because it doesn’t look good – It looks great! But it’s a detail that will be pretty small and likely to go unnoticed while requiring significant polygons. It’s possible to capture this detail in an alpha-mapped texture plane, but it’ll be easier / cleaner to remove it.

Sorry, it’s a lame note…after all it truly is an interesting detail you’ve added.

Would you be willing to let me use your .blend file during the demo tomorrow? If so please upload to this directory within the project files on Google drive: SPICE-VENDORS-HOUSE/SCENES/MODELS/TEMP

hi @theluthier,

Thank you for the feedback I really appreciate it.  I am more than happy to let You use this .blend. Unfortunately I think I don’t have the permission yet to sync my drive to the folder. (Or I missed something important.) I get an error messgae when I try to add the folder to my drive. If I find the solution I will upload it as soon as possible.

Homework Submission – Week 2 – lantern

@theluthier

Unfortunately had a quite busy week so not a lot of time to blend :(. This definitely felt a bit harder. But fortunately the stream was about the workflow on a lantern which was super helpful. Couldn’t have done it without it. 

I simplified the model (no more ornament :(:(:() and tried to match the shape of the top part  to the artwork as much as I could.

Definitely a lot to improve upon. Had to fight with my not so great topology also a bit.  I will definitely try to improve the sculpting if my time allows it next week.

[Kent Trammell]

Fantastic sculpting @szabi! Looks great – no constructive feedback from me. Keep doing good work 👏

Homework Submission – Week 2 – lantern

@theluthier 

Finally my inexperience caught up with me. This baking stuff sure made my head hurt. After the UV unwrapping process. I started the normal map baking. The first part went succesffully. The second one though I couldn’t get through. The part just doesn’t show up after the baking on the image texture no matter what I do. I’ve contacted my team for some help and I will try again tomorrow with a hopefully clearer head.

[Mona Loren]

@szabi I also had the problem that sometimes the baking was not showing on the map. Reloading the Image in the image editor worked for me

[Szabolcs Regenyei]

@monaloren Thanks for the tip. For me a complete restart for blender was the solution :/. 

I managed to bake the normal maps now. Unfortunately the cage part has a lot of rainbow going on in the normal map. Not sure how to handle that problem. Though the outcome is not so disastrous as I was expecting it.

 I am trying to tackle the cavity maps from now on.
