[Darren McBain]

@michallis thats one of the beauties of this format we all get stuck in and help each other out during the month so dont be a stranger if things are niggling you 🙂

I must say the last couple of classes have been amazing how it brings everyone together.

[Michallis Pashidis]

@oboshape Thank you for this encouraging message. I had some doubt as I started some months ago with Blender and committed myself to work each day for 2 hours on cgcookie and exercises. Nice to hear the community is so supportive!

I’m back to CG Cookie and I can’t wait for the class. 🙂

@flowizard Welcome back! This month will be fun

[William Miller]

[Kaj Suominen]

@theluthier hopefully i’ll get time for this, busy modeling tails and wings for drones.. 😀

[Bauke Post]

My car exercise is nearly done, I’ll post it later today. You can expect it within 6 hours 🙂

[Aaron Rudderham]

Chewing through the Mesh Modeling Bootcamp now, this topology stuff is gonna be vital.

[Morten Fjellheim]

I have already done the homework when i followed the courses a while back. Can i upload those models or do i have to do them noe more time?

[Bauke Post]

You can now see my car exercise in the gallery (there are multiple renders): https://cgcookie.com/u/baukepost/projects/car-f20de755-3568-4dab-a8d9-98279227977f.

[Kent Trammell]

@baukepost WOW. Awesome job! And this is what you built to prepare for this class??

[Jeremy Pouillot]

@theluthier hey, I’m not sure to understand how works homework, do we have to make it before or after the week event ?

For this start i’ve already model the airplane 

and done the primitives exercice :

https://cgcookie.com/exercise_submissions/12087

I’m currently looking for some steampunk vehicle (if it’s allowed, I’m not a big fan of cars … ).

So back to my question, this I have what’s needed in homework but for next week, homework has to be done before or after event ? (it’s seems it’s before …)

choosens model can be any type or ground only (planes, boats …)

[Kent Trammell]

@dieedi Excellent job on the plane, Jeremy! Homework can be submitted anytime during the week, just as long as it’s before the end of Sunday. So it’s totally fine to submit before the live event but it’s not required. I say end of Sunday assuming weekends are the most available time to work on homework each week.

A steampunk vehicle is certainly allowed. I’m not sure anything would be not allowed so long as it is a “vehicle” including cars, boats, planes, etc. I’ll talk about this during the event today as well.

Homework Submission Week 1

Here’s my Airplane:

And here is my Modelling with Primitives exercise:

Anor Londo by jack07 on Sketchfab

I did it three months ago, time flies too fast!

I started doing this guy last week as practice: 

And this is what I have so far:

I still have to work on the wheels, add more details and prepare it for subsurf, but so far it looks so cute <3 

However after looking at what other people are doing just for practice, I’m no longer sure if I should continue it for the class. The design is too boxy, it feels kind of cheating. 

My other option is one of this guys:

Should I continue my little truck or go for a different vehicle?

Also, I found a bug in the site! After adding two Sketchfab embeds, I can no longer scroll back to the beginning of my reply. I hope I wrote everything correctly haha.

Edit: Sketchfab embeds are not showing up, I looked in the previous class’ thread and they are not showing up there either.
