BC1-1801 Week 2 Homework Submission

It is a little late, but here is my assignment for week two. I used the array and curve mod for the shield. I only used a mirror mod for the sword and sheath.

[Kent Trammell]

This is late. IT DOESN’T COUNT.

I’m feeling goofy. Sorry… Actually, a really great model @az93! Super clean and very minimal. Nice work: grade A 👍

Thanks for sharing about the structure you used for your models.

sorry but for this week I do not have that much time. Have watched the live stream. And have decided to send in some of my old works this week. This is a ship that I made for a theater performance. That is also made in real life.

[LJ Simpson]

Sweet. Which show?

[LJ Simpson]

Looking good!

Here’s an interesting video with creative use of the modifiers on an icosphere to create interesting patterns. (Which goes along with last week’s discussion.)

it is made with blender.

[Kent Trammell]

Woah that’s wild. So you modeled the ship and the set crew built it based on your 3D model?

[Matthew Ullrey]

I have heard of theaters that have their own machines that carve large blocks of styrofoam with computer driven routers. What a neat job!

My copy of “Fantasy Characters…” by Bernadette Cuxart’s book should be arriving today. Thanks for fun tip!

[Katerina Novakova]

That’s a really interesting video, @gradyp , thanks for sharing it. I have used the Wireframe modifier like this before but I never realized it could create such elaborate patterns. I must remember to use it in one of my future projects 🙂

[Jaz McDaniel]

Thanks for the replies and feedback.  @ScottMcClellan, I didn’t use a lattice modifier, I still have a ton of work to do with modifiers.  

[Alice Hart]

Thank you guys for your kind words, I really appreciate it!

@theluthier   I’m really glad you feel that way. Personally, the dream of mastering 3d art feels more real after taking this class!

@ullreym  I’d be really happy! Willy Wonka is such an inspiration 🙂

I watched the sculpting course and did melvin over the weekend since i didn’t know how much free time i would have this week, but then the snow storm gave me the day off, and consequently, plenty of free time to jump right in today.  So here is the homework.  The question I have after doing it is how to know when a sculpt is done (or done enough).  Finding the balance between “it needs appeal” and “that can be fixed in retopo.”  It’s probably something that just comes with practice, but if anyone has any rules of thumb, I’d be happy to hear them.  Both Melvin and the frog are far from perfect, but I feel like if I were to take them to fully animation-ready characters, it may be a time sink to go much beyond this point before retopo.

I moddel in blender (I think that I am totally not good at all). Then I will divide the files into blocks with Rhino 3D and generate the G code. This then goes to a large CNC machine. Where everything is made in faom. The separate parts are then nicely made back together.
