[ENDED] BC1-1801 – January Class Homepage – Getting Started with 3D Modeling & Blender

What a great use-case for a modifier-based model: A fancy gate. Awesome job with this. Also with the details of the columns: Easily an A  @monaloren 👍

Thanks for sharing details about your workflow!

I love that you named the sword. Investing in your models creatively, giving it some story, is a great habit. Nice job @galledark!

The model looks pretty good overall. I can’t tell 100% the wireframe as Blender by default hides random bits of the wireframe. If you turn on “Draw All Edges” in object properties, it will fix that. Never known why that’s not on in the first place..From what I can tell, the wireframe looks nice and even.

And I agree with @pffsfs’s critique. The small, thin dimensions of the handle makes the hilt and blade feel massive. A simple scaling up of the handle by 1.5 (maybe 2) would fix that.

Even with that, it’s still an A in my book. 👍

@motsu
Repetition is a great way to learn anything. Many of us start an object, realize it’s not going to work out the way we are approaching it, then trash it and start over with a better plan. It does eventually start to fall into place.

Crazy, Andrew! Looks great. One model but lots of cool parts! Technically it counts. Right?

[Kent Trammell]

The missing machine enemy from “The Matrix”! Nice job, @abuttigieg. The wireframe in the screenshot is pretty weird. Especially the bevels on the feet. But it’s quite a clean wireframe on sketchfab. Good stuff: A+ (a lil’ extra for Sketchfab upload)

And thanks for sharing details about your workflow 🙇🏻

Repetition is a painful but effective teacher. No matter how true I know this to be, I HATE doing things more than once 😅

But it appears that you’re getting the hang of it. Your bottle looks great. Even the ridges on the bottom remind me of the bottom of a classic coke bottle. Unless that’s an unintentional subsurface artifact ha.

You should be encouraged because you definitely accomplished the assignment with an A 👍

[Kent Trammell]

Excellent soap dispenser @tanya53. I see nothing wrong with this at all: A

I’m bummed to hear you say “hopefully better than the fish.” The fish WAS NOT BAD! It’s just inherently difficult to purely mesh model such an organic object as the fish. Considering that, you did an impressive job.

Was it much easier mesh-modeling this dispenser vs the fish?

[Kent Trammell]

Thank you for this tip @louhikarme! Creases, sharp edges, edge split modifier, bevel modifier…how did I get confused on the stream? [facepalm]

I need to get this approach straight. But I’m reminded why I stick to holding edges ha. Do you use this approach over holding edges much?

BC1-1801 Week 2 Homework Submission

I discovered that if your models lack a peel, and you are two tired to go on, Porg™ yourself a cup of coffee.

[Paul Haynes]

Kent Trammell … second and third models have been added to original post. (Page 16)

[LJ Simpson]

The mug looks great!

[LJ Simpson]

Sweet!

[LJ Simpson]

Great chair!

[Scott McClellan]

Punny and nice models too

[Grady Pruitt]

I was just about to ask if that was a Porg mug… and then I saw the description 😀  

Ya know, they were such a cute and adorable thing in the previews… but I found them annoying in the movie. But that’s a discussion for another thread.

Excellent work on the modeling!
