BC1-1801 Week 2 Homework Submission
It started off as a homework submission and ended up being one of my weekly scenes. I just hope it doesn’t count as flexing 🙂 The modifiers I used are Subsurf, Mirror, Bevel, and Array. To make the outline visible, I added Wireframe (and turned off Subsurf).
busy week. allmost didn’t have time to finish this. And damn, so many good works here already!
I have long project on doing my desk items and I’ve been putting it off. decided to start with a mug and line 6 ux2 unit. I found this especially useful since i’ve been doing so much stuff from head and used reference as a guide to make things cool, so in practice point this was good. ux2 needs textures which is something i’ll do later, now just quick render with principled shader and nothing fancy.
BC1-1801 Week 2 Homework Submission
I call this “Tire, Rim, Coffee Cup #7.” I know, breaking apart the tire is soooo derivative… Didn’t get wrapped up in realism so much as getting comfortable with working with the tools again. Learning a lot! One thing that was reeeaaally difficult for me this week was to stay on task and concentrate on working within (maybe a little beyond) my bounds. Such incredible work out of so many attendees, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and attempt something that would just lead to frustration, doom, broken vertices, and oh yeah, no submission at this point. Just buckled down, redid the coffee cup project from the demo then focused on doing the tire. Didn’t really play around with the lattice much but got a lot of use out of the Array, curve, subdivision surf modifiers. Used both crease values and holding edges. Was interesting to note that there were a few instances when using crease instead of a holding edge led to a weird pinch in the mesh. When I would reset the problem edge to 0.0 crease and use a holding edge the issue would generally clear up. Thanks for the tip on using this for the exercise submission to Kent. Wagon ho!

This is my 2nd week homework. I guess there’s no much to say of this other than I now feel a bit less shy of mesh modeling and modifiers.
Haven’t had much time to browse this thread since past week (at the time I’m writing) but from what I saw I feel there’s so much skill and dedication on this class as seen from your homework and insightful comments. Awesome work guys!
BC1-1801 Week 2 Homework Submission
Hasn’t been a good week for me (blah blah blah whine whine whine). Well… flu kept me off the laptop for a couple days and then 6 hours (YES SIX!!) wasted trying to figure out how on God’s green earth to manipulate a bezier curve to use an array modifier on. Unfortunately, the resulting submission is nowhere near the imaginative and detailed models that I’ve seen posted so far this week. I’ve gone through my office and picked out things that I’ve always been wanting to model and for whatever reason haven’t. I tried to tell a story from those few items, so here goes…
This table is comprised of 4 parts: top; runners (which you can’t see); table supports; and a crossmember. I used a “mirror” on the top and legs (supports). Found out the hard way on the legs that you don’t work from a smaller piece and try to grow to a larger piece. I was coming up with faces that didn’t work a play well with me. Better part of a day screwing around with this, but it came out well. The table top is meant to come apart to accept leaves.
The chair back support is what cost me dearly in timw trying to manipulate a bezier curve. If anyone has any pointers, I’m all ears I wound up using a bezier circle and appied the modifiers and in edit mode cut the damn thing in half and manipulated what was left to form the back. There are two kinks that I’m not happy with. The smaller back posts are all inset into holes I made in the seat (thank you shrinkwrap modifier). Most of the chair was constructed in mirror mode. Again separate parts for the seat, back legs and supports.
The candle, holder, and flame are all separate objects. I realized afterward that the lattice modifier would have been extremely helpful in modifying each candle (but I was too late – will practice that later). For lighting in the scene I placed point lights in each candle flame.
Dice bag is just a sphere that I played with (moocho proportional editing). And with that, I give you…
