@luthier 

Official homework submission for Week 2. I optimized the high-res mesh for the boards and sculpted using mostly Scrape, Draw Sharp, Pinch, and Clay Strips.

@createtaiwan That’s looking great 😀👍! Congratulations to well deserved full points from Kent @theluthier 😀!

PS: Kent’s username needs the article “the” 😉. So, I’ll tag your

Oh, dear.  All this time I have been tagging the wrong person! So there must be another GC Cookie member with that name. SO sorry, @theluthier!

[Ingmar Franz]

@createtaiwan No worry, can happen 😉! But I think that Kent isn’t maybe so unhappy if he gets tagged a little bit less 😉😁.

 Homework Submission – Week 3 – Fence

@theluthier

Here is my homework submissions for Week 3… by far the MOST FUN I have had so far. I am learning so much.

[Vincent]

WOW! 😮 👍

[Ingmar Franz]

Fantastic 👍!

If I ever need a fence, I will contact you, Dave!

[Dave Hudson]

Some say I am a little offensive. But I don’t take a fence.

@createtaiwan – This really looks great!

@theluthier @duerer – So, I have copied and pasted the ground plane into my WIP file, and I am starting to adjust the fence to follow the ground plane. I have two questions…

(1) Where the fence is visible in the original artwork, I am having a bit of a struggle matching the location on the art and still having it touch the ground plane. If I move it back away from the camera view to match both the ground plane and the artwork, I would have to scale it up, and then it becomes too big as a fence. So either (A) I can just lower the fence on the Z axis and not worry about matching the art exactly or (B) we will need to raise the ground plane in that area on the Z axis. Which solution would you prefer?

(2) There are about 90 pieces to the fence, and I built them by using linked duplicates from 7 original pieces. The original pieces are currently at the world center. Should I leave them there and just keep them hidden or move them somewhere else (like, below the ground plane in the basement of the house)?

Here is what it looks like if I lower the fence to match the current ground plane:

@theluthier @duerer – Okay, so here is the fence placed on the current ground plane. If you compare it to the artwork, there are a few places where it struggles to match, but maybe this is not a big issue.

I have saved over the MASTER file in SCENES–>MODELS, so it’s ready to link into the scene (assuming you want to use my fence).

[Dave Hudson]

One more thought… if I put the original wood pieces in a collection outside the MASTER collection (in the MASTER file), would the duplicates that share the data of the originals still contain the linked data? In other words, does linked data link across files? If so, that would make it easy to hide the original wood pieces.

Why not use the originals as well in the fence?  Saves 7 planks.
