[ENDED] BC1-1808 – August 2018 Class Homepage – Getting Started with 3D Modeling & Blender 2.8

@theluthier Remember this “scaling rotated object on single axis” issue in 2.8? That’s seems to be a normal behaviour since 2.79 handles this the same way as 2.8. Another reason for not using scaling in object mode if it’s not absolutely necessary 😀

@yukinoh1989 You can paint it with a brush, but I don’t think you’re allowed to.

[Aaron Rudderham]

@williamatics Ah my bad, fair enough.

[Aaron Rudderham]

@yukinoh1989 If you disable the eye on the camera it just means that the physical manifestation of the camera disappears from the viewport but it still works like normal.

[Aaron Rudderham]

@yukinoh1989 You can paint it with a brush but like @williamatics said it’s likely not allowed, because it involves textures. The other way would be to apply the materials to separate parts but that relies going into Edit Mode which as we’ve been told is a no-no (mostly)…

HOWEVER!

Using the power of Booleans there is a way – albeit crude, but still effective way – to do this. First get your sphere, equip it with the Boolean modifier and spawn a cube. try to get you cube as close as halfway through the cube as possible (using Orthographic mode might be a good idea here) and set the Boolean to Difference, then apply it.

As you can see you now have a semi-circle.

After that, duplicate the semi circle then rotate it 180 degrees (typically on the Y axis).

Finally apply the appropriate material to each semi circle and you’re done!

@thecabbagedetective are we allowed to use modifiers in this homework? 

[Aaron Rudderham]

@nekronavt  Boolean is considered fine, but I think the others are off limits.

[yukino hatake]

@thecabbagedetective thanx a lot indeed that is a way to fix it. thanks for the help 

[Pavel Mazanik]

@thecabbagedetective I think mirror is even more acceptable than boolean then, isn’t it?

[Aaron Rudderham]

@yukinoh1989 Glad to be of assistance!

[Aaron Rudderham]

@nekronavt  It’d certainly make sense considering it doesn’t really affect the base mesh (same could be said of the Array modifier) it’s just I’ve only heard Boolean given the all clear. Maybe @theluthier can give us some insight?

[smurfmier1985]

@thecabbagedetective Kent replied this in curious’ homework thread, so I guess modifiers are allowed now 🙂

[Aaron Rudderham]

@smurfmier1985  Ah, fair enough. If that’s the case, go nuts people!

[Darren McBain]

@yukinoh1989  it was purely a screenshot to indicate the visibility toggle buttons which are for each object in the outliner and what they do.  the highlightings that ive done were purely due to lack of space and information.  

there may come a time down the blender learning journey where you may have multiple cameras, but for now i wouldnt worry about it, just be aware that each object has these toggles in the outliner.

[yukino hatake]

@oboshape
so multiple camera’s is possible then 😮 what happens then when you press 0 to go to camera mode ?
but i guess indeed i will maybe focus later on that and for now on the homework 🙂
@smurfmier1985  so we can use them this week too ? tought he meant starting in week 2
