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

[Kent Trammell]

You submitted perfectly. Nice job with your scene! I like that you were inspired by something artistically and told us about it. It’s grade A, no doubt.

[Kent Trammell]

@alexsr Love this one! Something very artsy, minimalistic, and intriguing. I like the seemingly huge water drop ripple compared to the size of raindrops and trees. And the colors accent each other well. Great job: A+

BC1-1801 Week 1 Homework Submission

It’s looking pretty dark but this was challenging to not use edit mode to modify my objects. This took me about 45min to complete 🙂

[Kent Trammell]

Fantastic scene @pffsfs! My mind immediately flashed back to that shot from Fellowship. I love the detail and creativity with primitives. A++ work 👏

Thanks for sharing where you’re coming from with Blender/3D. It’s a big help for me to understand that about the community. Very glad you’re apart of the class, Old Dog 🙂

[Scott McClellan]

45 minutes?!? Well now, you’re no slouch. I love the flames and how it gives just enough light to show off the rest of the details in the scene: trees, logs, rocks. I take it the white floaties are fireflies. Really like it.

HOMEWORK SUBMISSION, BC1-1801, Week I

Can’t make the livestreams due to work, but excited about the potential of classes and wanted to participate.  I am a post-beginner, but still have a whole lot to learn. I was impressed by everyone’s creativity in their homework submissions.

[Kent Trammell]

Whoops, missed the questions you asked somehow. Thanks for the assist @rcdavis4! In their answer to #1, you can use the down arrow button (below the + and – on the right side of the material panel) to reveal more options. There you’ll find “Copy material to others” which copies the selected material to all selected objects.

#2 can be done in the world tab, just as @rcdavis4 says.

#3 also just as @rcdavis4 says. Unlike Maya – which stores all object operations as ‘history’ and can be accessed anytime throughout the model’s manipulations – Blender only gives you those options immediately after creation. Once any other operation happens, those options are gone.

Personally this was never an issue for me despite being an avid Maya user. Rarely did I find myself digging through the history much beyond immediately using a tool..

[Kent Trammell]

I agree with Scott – what’s this about being askew? I really like the perspective of the shot! Makes me feel like I’m in a low-altitude helicopter ride, and I like that feeling. Great job with this scene: A+

[Kent Trammell]

I quickly noticed the headkerchief as well – Very clever approach. Awesome scene overall. I feel like this must have been a solid 3-hour-tour of work 😉 A+

And thanks for sharing about your experience level. Always a help for me to know about a member’s context.

[Kent Trammell]

Could you have picked a better object to be all primitives? Nice job! It’s a perfect little xylophone. A+

I’ll use Scott’s phrase: Just WOW! I mean..this is one of my favorite submissions, if not the favorite. Splendid application of primitive only modeling. 👍👍 A+++ 

What kind of experience do you have with Blender/3D, @shiennar?

[Flowizard]

Thanks for feedback!

I think the time you chose is actually quite good for Europe/America. I see many twitch streamers stream at the same time. It’s just that Tuesday is a bad day for me personally. If it was any other day it would be fine. I went through the lectures already so I’ll try to ask here on forum If I have any questions and I will be able to catch the week 4 stream anyway.   

[Kent Trammell]

That fire looks so nice when I see 11° on my thermometer. The flames’ shape is well done! A+ overall. Good work.

Nice one @procyonlotor. I love the stone path! And the blurry frostiness of the windmill. Very good primitive scene.  A+ Though I think I spot some smoothness in those clouds…. 🧐

And thanks for sharing where you’re coming from with Blender/3D!

[Alexis Mayfield]

No, I’ve been using Blender for a little while. I actually created an animation called Matter of Time with Blender that was selected to show at a small film fest last summer! It’s in my gallery if you wanna check it out.
