Collab2021-WIP-MonaLoren

I like this so much. It’s got that hammered metal look going for it. It possibly a bit dark compares to the reference. But maybe that’s the lighting. Metals look is heavily determined by what it has to reflect around it. Try to find a sunny outdoor hdri as you make tweaks this week to get an accurate preview of how it will look.  Super job for this week.

 Thanks for the HDRI tip. So far I haven’t used one here. I also think it looks a little too dark. Finding the right one will definitely make a difference. I also can tweak the material a little bit.

Amazing job @monaloren! Your lanterns are lovely and DONE (!) as far as I can tell 👏

You can kick back and relax during week 4 or tweak whatever you like. I personally don’t think your lanterns need a dedicated color map but your’e welcome to explore that for the last week!

@theluthier Thank you Kent for all the work you put into this collab21.
I’ve learned a lot in the 3 weeks and now I’m slowly getting into sculpting. It’s a lot of fun.
Since I would also like to try out wood and stone, I thought about trying out something like that:

First try, nothing finished. Doesn´t have the edges I wanted. Sculpten looks easier than it is.

Brilliant extension of your lantern asset! You should do a presentation render and/or turntable of your lantern on the post when you’re done.

Thank you Kent for all the work you put into this collab21

You’re very kind @monaloren. Thank you for contributing! 🙂 🤝

week 4 – lantern variation

In this last week i wanted to try sculpting wood and stone.
There are still some issues, but this is what i was able to do within my time this week.

I practiced a lot to get handy with the scrape brush.I found this brush is not easy to understand and often does not what I would have expected. But it gets better every day. I have a lot of fun with sculpting and focused on it these week.Therefore only a basic render setup with an HDRI.

The last 4 weeks were very intensive and I would have needed more time for many things. But my challenge was to end up the things in time and I did it it ;)It was fun and I learned a lot. Many thanks to @theluthier for the time he spent for this collab.

Just for fun:

This looks so good! Thank you for all the hardwork you did over the collab. It absolutely shows. I really enjoyed watching your progress these 4 weeks. I hope you keep posting future works. Keep it up!

I love your render setup! It looks great! The compositing really sets a mood. It reminds me of world of warcraft, but this is way better,  so not a great comparison. 😅❤

thank you so much   @phoenix4690 . I should really think about opening a polybook. It also would forces me to practice regularly. Thank you for your support during this collab 🙂

 Excellent work, @monaloren 😀👍! Your lantern is a beautiful eyecatcher 😀!
