Collab2021 – WIP – blendernan

This is an on-going thread documenting my progress through the 2021 Collab Project.

…and this is a bit of extra text to avoid triggering spam-prevention.

@blendernan Just a quick reminder. We still need a name for our team? What’s your vote?

1) Shabby Chic 

2) All Access(ories) 

3) Shabby Fresnel Chic 

4) The Stan Dalones

@duerer Thanks for the heads up, I’ve thrown in my vote over on the thread for (4) Stan Dalones 🙂

My first pass at blocking out the barrel came out like this:

I’m going to try a second pass based off of a lower poly cylinder, with one face per plank.

[Ben]

Okay, I think this lower-poly topology is going to allow me to get closer to the original art style.

Okay, after going through most of the treasure chest modelling tutorial, there’s a lot about this I’m going to want to tweak. Also, I’m noticing the scale is off, mostly that it’s too tall, when comparing to the existing blockout – because I didn’t initially use the master camera’s perspective/FOV. So lots of fixes to be desired…

With that said, I’m submitting what I have thus far for week 1:

Homework Submission – Week 1 – Barrel

@blendernan Thank you for your answer 😀!

[Kent Trammell]

Nice job on week 1 @blendernan! It’s a perfectly adequate blockout and worthy of full points. It looks like you already have an idea about how you want to update / improve it. My only note would be that you could reduce the amount of horizontal edges so your faces aren’t so skewed:

*Note I’m recommending to remove the red edges.

Have fun building this! Hopefully you enjoy adding sculpted accents in week 2 🙂

[Ingmar Franz]

Congratulations, @blendernan , to full points! I’m looking forward to your sculpted barrel 😀!

[Kent Trammell]

Any progress with this @blendernan?

[Ben]

Hi @theluthier ,  @duerer ,

I’m sorry, I haven’t made much progress since my week 1 submission. I don’t think I’ll be able to catch up for the week 3 and 4 submissions.

I got much busier than expected for April, and this was one of my first responsibilities to drop. I’ll still try to follow along roughly, but at this point I probably need to be dropped from the collab 🙁

I’m sure the final barrel will be fine in wograebn’s very capable hands.

[Ingmar Franz]

@blendernan Real life has always priority! So, don’t worry, you’re always welcome 😀! And you’re free to finish your barrel later if you wish it or to come back with a new project. In every case, I’m looking forward to your next creations 😀!

[Kent Trammell]

@blendernan No worries – very understandable. Cheers and happy blending!
