Homework Submission Week 5 4, Part B

I should have submitted this earlier, but the local climate went from 27ºC to 6ºC in one night and I was not prepared…

Anyway, AXE!

I made some extra maps by hand, I was tempted to bake some AO…

Homework Submission Week 4 Update

I was able to send just the geometry and then the textures separately to Sketchfab. @jack07 confirmed my suspicions about the process. Many thanks to you Jack. I was using the technique outlined in the Axe example about packing the textures in the .blend file which worked perfectly… for the axe. I found that Ulbricht needed special uploading procedures.

Here he is with all of his high resolution errors visible now. The weight painting and shape keys were challenging. Like herding cats, those errant vertices wanted to do their own thing.

Thanks again @theluthier for a fantastic class.

Holy smokes! Incredible work @malhomsi !

Homework Wk 4

Bob, in all his Sunday glory! Thanks for the amazing class @theluthier! Looking forward to the next one!

I encountered a loooot of bad artifacts where my paint would lay down well past my brush’s boundaries.

I’m guessing this was due to 1) having a crazy-complex Smart UV Unwrap, 2) maybe too much bleed, and 3) not retopologizing.

Edit: Actually, I don’t see any bleed-interference. Unless I hear otherwise I’ll write off the artifacting to the convoluted Smart UV Unwrap.

[Jere Haapaharju]

Once again I don’t know what to say. He is just perfect

[Jere Haapaharju]

Damn! He looks so much better! And the affection for his mallet is seen better now haha. What a great expression

[Jere Haapaharju]

Well the textures look really good imo. Even if the unretopolized models UVs look pretty messy since there are so many islands, the ending result is fine overall. Good job Ryan @stonewing !

[Ryan Brewer]

Awesome work @ullreym ! Just like your axe, the textures look fantastic!

[Kent Trammell]

Ooo yes, love the additional geometric fidelity.

[Kent Trammell]

I agree with Jere that the paint job looks quite good imo. It really finishes off the character well. Bob has come a long way since the initial sculpt. Lovely work @stonewing; an easy A 👏

The method of smartUV’ing a dyntopo mesh is supposed to be quick and dirty but it often turns out overly dirty in my experience too. I need to see if I can iron out the workflow to avoid the artifacts better..

Thanks for participating this month and sharing your work, Ryan 🙇🏻‍♂️

[malhomsi]

thanks my friends for the lovely words. u r awesomes !

@theluthier  u honored me with ur words , thank u ,it means a lot ! i didnt have time to make the axe , i going to do that soon ! forgive my laziness  🙂 

i have the blues .. i already miss this class !

[Matthew Ullrey]

@theluthier “Geometric Fidelity” you should trademark that. Don’t look too closely or you might see some “vertex infidelity” going on. Ha ha. I have to tell you that some of the texture work is borrowed from you. The pants and sweater textures are from the Pancake Hobo and believe it or not, I painted the hair, mustache, and beard with your Pore Detail modeling texture. To use it, I employed the Alpha check box and Angle: Rake check box, plus the Image Sampling: Alpha and Calculate check boxes. I liked how fun it was to paint, almost therapeutic.

Oh, and in the seventies, my dad had a belt that looked almost exactly like Ulbiricht’s. It appeared in so many of my drawings that my dad gave the belt to me (in a good way). Here is a picture of it.

[Jack]

Oh my! He looks so much better now! The wood textures are so great, they even look like they have a normal map, but they don’t!😱

[malhomsi]

so good , it looks much better ! i lovely result ! r u going to make a shaded still render .?

[Jack]

Looks really nice! Each time I see him I keep imagining a short of him trying to get breakfast…
