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

[Deborah Douglas]

I am working on week 4’s assignment.  I started with a base mesh that had holes for the eye sockets.  I tried adding a sphere for the eye but it kind’ve sits behind or to the side.  I can’t seem to get it in the socket.  What am I doing wrong?

BC1-1801 Week 3 Homework Submission 2 of 3

Here is the link to the sculpt on SketchFab: https://skfb.ly/6vTTx  (I tried submitting formally at the end of the course but for whatever reason I could not complete the process so I am just putting the link here. 

I’m having a bit of time juggling brush sizes, strengths, relative vs constant, subdivide collapse/edges, etc while attempting to get clean creases.  I’m really learning a lot – and plan on doing a lot more sculpting so I can really get comfortable with the tools.  Attached below is a screen shot:

I too loved the way you combined everything into one scene!

@theluthier i don`t know why but it seems like Dyntopo doesn`t work correctly. It doesn`t create additional faces as a result i get bad geometry. When i was making general form of Melvin it was ok, but with mouth it is pretty hard.

It looked better in my head (of course) and I got too far into it try and start with something else before the deadline.  I had planned to do the mountain background but Blender started getting very slow, even with decimating all the models.    Also, the columns are a combination of push-pull, modifiers, and then sculpt, so it is not a ‘pure’ sculpt scene.

I agree with @csehz, @shiennar. Really magical! Something for us newer 3D artists to shoot for.

[LJ Simpson]

Woah! This takes me back. Nice one.

[LJ Simpson]

Great words to work by @gradyp! One more habit to work on…

Perhaps you could consider the ground the third object of the assignment?

[Matthew Ullrey]

Hi Deborah, in Edit mode you could select the edge ring of the eye socket and snap the 3D cursor to selected. Then in Object mode select the “eye” sphere and snap it to the 3D cursor. The center of the sphere will be right in the middle of the hole. Then you can make minor translation and scale adjustments from there.

The City on the Edge of Forever looks totally trashed. Did you use Blender’s Obliterate Modifier by accident? 😉

Love this scene! Great work.

I was hoping to get a little more done in this assignment. So I did what I could with the time I had. 

[Grady Pruitt]

I think Grant is right. with the Constant Detail setting, you want higher Resolution and with Relative, you want a lower Detail Size.  It seems a little counter intuitive, but think of it this way, with a Constant detail, to increase the amount of geometry, you want go Higher. If you’re using Relative, you’re doing the detail across more screen pixels, so the geometry will be lower.

[Grady Pruitt]

It’s a bit more advanced topic for this particular class, but you can set up render layers and render your scene in different pieces.  Or use old “TV” tricks and overlay the foreground on top of a “background” that has the mountains, with the sky being yet another layer or as a part of that background layer. Either way, great job! I thought it seemed familiar when I saw what Matthew said 😀

Very good scene, nice ratios around
