[ENDED] BC3-1806 – June 2018 Class Homepage – Vehicle Modeling with Blender

HOMEWORK SUBMISSIONS WEEK 1

I thinking about the Mach 5 from Speed Racer

[Omar Domenech]

I have to say this car modeling has been like a boxer, that has KO’d a fair share of opponents, and now is fighting a contender that just found out a weak spot on his defense stance and now all the punches our going through and he is getting massacred.  My car is just a wobbly mess. 

And @wesburke “Delete it and start over” advice really comes across when you realize you could spend hours tweaking and tweaking vertices and it is not going to make a difference, you have to delete it and start over. On to my fourth iteration.

Homework B3-1806 Week 1

Airplane :

Simple Airplane on Sketchfab

Sketchfab ate my cycles materials, and my gauges and one of the rivet paths, but I learned quite a few neat tricks from that series.

Primitives :

Simple Bridge made with primitives

I’m going to try modeling an Austin Healy 3000 MkII, here’s a blueprint;

I also found some reference photos for the interior over at automobile-catalog.com

Looking forward to blocking it out tomorrow morning.

[Kaj Suominen]

@dostovel Amen to that. thought i’d just continue with the old blockout i had done.. yeah. three tries later i think i have something that i can work with. 😀

Homework B3-1806 Week 1

The airplane’s kicking my butt!  I’ll keep poking at it and try to get it in by the deadline.

Modeling with Primitives

This was a lot of fun for me having constraints to work within.  I had lots of ideas, but I thought a garden would be the most successful.  I would’ve like to put more stuff in it, but that damn grass took for-freaking-ever, so I moved on.  At least it doesn’t look overly barren.  Might poke at it a little more and add more things.

Vehicle – Dodge Challenger

I like Challengers, and I thought the body would look really cool with the custom paint job.

I couldn’t figure out how to get the rivets to show up in my final render! They showed up for the previews though. Any ideas? 😛

For my vehicle, I chose the Dartz Prombron. I’m super excited to participate in the class 🙂

[Michallis Pashidis]

@silenthans nicely posed the airplanes 🙂

[Char Hunter]

Homework B3-1806 Week 1

I didn’t have time to do the primitives.  I attempted the airplane though.   I changed the two rods on the back tire to come out of the middle of the tire.  Bad lighting too.
Soooo late.  0

Homework Submission – Week 1

Modeling with Primitives Exercise

And here are my Blueprints for the Light Cycle 🙂

[Michallis Pashidis]

Hi, 

I’m blocking out the main form, but the moment I want to extrude some faces to make the nose, I have a vertex which is doing weird (looking with the subsurf). How can I get this right, I think that i have to wait adding supporting edge loops, or is it better to ignore this and deal with it later on?

when adding subsurf I get:

thank you!

[Omar Domenech]

@onelesspuppy Check in the Outliner, maybe the camera icon or render icon is disabled. You can sometimes turn it off without noticing via hotkeys.

[Omar Domenech]

@michallis How does the topology look without the sub-surf? It looks like the modifier is conforming to the shape since there is no loop to hold it. 

[Omar Domenech]

RPG metaphor coming….. this exercises are like a boss fight. Where you have been fighting small enemies that appear randomly on the map, easy, give you little XP and you have to wait ages to level up, you’re always stuck in level 15 and the XP gauge is like a serum with honey in it… now a boss battle comes, it’s hard, you need certain level to at least be a match, you will get game over a lot, but it has lots of XP to give if you defeat it and you’ll level up from level 15 to 20 in this match alone. You just have to keep at it and go defeat some small enemies to get some XP if you need to. 

[Kaj Suominen]

update. fourth body mesh. i think its getting there. 

Mirror modifier giving wieird line in the middle, even though the vertices are middle and looks ok. if i apply it, its ok.. so prolly a viewport issue. since render time its not showin.

[Omar Domenech]

@louhikarme Maybe is not showing in the render because the lighting condition is not enough to make it apparent. Probably you have some vertices down the center line that are a little bit up or a little bit down and are causing the shading issue. Try adjusting them and the bunching down the middle might go away.
