Looks friggin awesome! 😀

[Carlo]

Thanks! How’s your sculpt progressing? 

[Carlo]

Some more sculpted wood, still a lot of pieces to go. Room for improvement but I want first to have everything sculpted and then I’ll come back to every piece, if I have the time 😅

 

[Beau Kromberg]

@lucky Looking great! 😍

I’m in the same boat.  Just trying to get things sculpted to a state that I can go and fix everything up later. 

I figure next week will be waaay less intense and offer lots of time to tweak things.   I’m planning on changing some of how mine is held together (brackets, bolts, etc)

Homework Submission – Week 2 – Water Wheel

@theluthier 

Here are my sculpted models, didn’t get to the metal parts, I’ll do them tomorrow. No to happy with the large arc piece, I’ll probably redo that one. File has become quite large (1,3 Gb), don’t know if I should upload it to Google Drive, maybe wait until after the bake.

Update, sculpted some metal parts.

Another update, sculpted some more stones.

@lucky I ran into the problem of my file ballooning as well. I noticed that some of my duplicates had multires on them still, so it was duplicating the sculpt data. Not sure if that’s your situation.  I know my file size is still around 600mb, but it was at over a gig. 😅

@lexicolopolis Unfortunately it’s not the case with my model. I have a really dense mesh, probably too dense for baking on a 1024 px texture. I wonder how many detials will show up in the bake. It all depends on the texel density of your UV’s. I’ll probably use multiple texture sets for the wood.

[Beau Kromberg]

@lucky I’ve been baking onto 2048px with acceptable quality. 1024 certainly won’t cut it with all these pieces unless they’re spread over multiple. Granted, my UVs are extremely unoptimized right now, just wanted to get an idea of the sculpt to normal map effect as I went. 

When my file went over 1.5gig Blender started stuttering frequently. : / Hope you get your sculpts in without it wiggin out.

@lexicolopolis Keeping my fingers crossed but I can still sculpt smoothly. Kent talked about keeping the texture map at 1024, let’s see what he will say tomorrow during the stream.

[Kent Trammell]

TOP-SHELF SCULPTING @lucky! You’re flowing through this asset beautifully. I applaud the quality of sculpture and modularization of pieces. Just awesome. Keep doing what you’re doing!

Kent talked about keeping the texture map at 1024

Indeed this is what I said on stream but have since changed my mind. Check out the 3rd announcement in the HQ thread if you haven’t already for the updated texture expectations.

Okay, I think I’m done sculpting. My last couple of stones. Onto baking…..

[Mona Loren]

Wow I really like this stones. hopefully I have time to try it out too , at least one stone. Very great work.

[Carlo]
