Homework Submission – Week 1 – Barrel

@theluthier 

Submitting for this week. Will update tomorrow based on the feedback 

[wolf.gang]

Updated to be vertically symmetrical once more per Vadim’s feedback 🙂

[Ingmar Franz]

@wograebn Looks fantastic 👍😀!

[Kent Trammell]

Brillain WIP thread @wograebn! From collecting reference, to analytical modeling, to sculpt tests – It’s the kind of pro workflow I love to see. You’ve earned full points and then some 👍

I really don’t have any constructive feedback to give…just keep doing your thing! I can’t wait to see your sculpt tests applied to the barrel 🤩

[Ingmar Franz]

@wograebn Congratulations to 130 points 👍! I can barely wait to see your sculpted barrel 😀!

Homework Submission – Week 2 – Barrel

Really sorry I’m late on this one. I *seriously* underestimated the time it would take me. And fear I got carried away and drifted too far away from the requested style into simplified overtly stylized territory. I’ll take another swing at in more in the style that I am seeing ladymito, Dave, etc producing. I also checked in the file to Google Drive in case you want to take a look up  close and check if I did it right 🙈.

Oops and forgot to tag @theluthier

Is this test perhaps closer in style to what we are after? Finding it hard to really get it consistent

Actually, I’d say (but who am I…), wood is mostly made into planks and the the edges are beveled slightly (not rounded!)

So, the water wheel’s example doesn’t look anything like wood to me.

Your homework submission looks great!

Let’s see what Kent has to say;)

[Ingmar Franz]

@wograebn This is already looking great 👍! Maybe some of the wood pattern lines are a little bit too curvy relative to the plank edges. The curvature pattern in your reference image above (bottom left) is what I would use.

[ladymito]

@spikeyxxx Weathered wood 😂🤣
Water flows… wears out
I have to admit that I’m not 100% happy with my sculpting either. But this week I didn’t have time for anything. Let’s see if I correct next week.

And, very nice job @wograebn 

[spikeyxxx]

@ladymito stones would round out by the flowing water, not wood 😉 That would also be counterproductive if thwe ood became ‘streamlined’,  the wheel needs to keep turning…

But still, it’s your interpretation! Just looks weird to me 🙂

[wolf.gang]

Oops didn’t think that would be so controversial 😂 I thought it looked really nice @ladymito but I am still a beginner. Anyways, tried to take the feedback on board and do a king of ‘best of both worlds’ approach.  Thoughts @spikeyxxx & @duerer ? If this is more on target I need to move on to baking etc to finish this week’s homework on time (don’t want to be late again!!)

[Ingmar Franz]

@wograebn This now looks much more like wood to me! I’m looking forward to see how this looks textured 😀! I could only happen that the finer details get “washed out” by the shading. But it’s worth a test. I’m wondering whether @theluthier still has some tips.

[Kent Trammell]

@wograebn Ok first I have to ask:

…but I am still a beginner.

Is this true? 

I’m just surprised given the quality of work you’re producing! Honestly I’m happy with all the styles you’ve achieved. This might be my favorite:

But go with whatever your latest is. No constructive criticism from me. Keep doing what you’re doing!
