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

[Morten Fjellheim]

I see that i havent been given a grade for my homework. Is it because it wasnt acepted or because it wasnt good enough?

[panboy]

@theluthier Thanks, The Cosmo is not a real plane, its from the anime space battleship yamato, and from what i recall it never actually lands on anything so the landing gear is quite vestigial.

So ill have to think about whether its worth actually keeping the gear on the model. 

[Logan Meeks]

@theluthier Should be interesting to find reference images for the interior materials then XD

[Vlado Tasner]

My question kinda got burried by the chat so I will just post it here 🙂
QUESTION: How to handle when a quad is a bit skewed and renderer/engine is triangling it the way I do not want to.
I could manually triangle it how I want, but then I lose the quad and good edge flow.

I really need to up my topo game, one of the reasons I am here.

EDIT:
Andswered by @ullreym in chat later on. https://cgcookie.com/lesson/all-quad-junctions

[Darren McBain]

From stream question , Ill delete this post later as i dont have any online image storage at the mo,
Is it like that @doulos4iesou, so with a solidify to stop the bottom surface coming through if i were to move the main surface down?
the solidify should follow the main mesh verts.
not sure if im on the right track or completely off, sorry 🙁

Apologies for the late homework submission.
My dog ate my mouse.   

[Kent Trammell]

@adsb2035 Haha dog ate your mouse..no worries. Nice job with your plane and render! I love the scene.

Thank you @theluthier  –  learned a new technique because I started with box modeling. So yihaa for my first panel 🙂 … it’s just a start but can’t wait to do it all!

[Greg McKim]

Sorry I forgot to link the blueprints I found hope it’s not too late.

[William Miller]

I have color coded my blueprints.  It was a lot harder than I thought it would be.

[William Miller]

I added some detail to the cannon.  The blueprints didn’t give me much information, so I did what I could.

[Greg McKim]

I asked a question in today’s session about subsurface edges bleeding over, and I couldn’t describe it. I still can’t lol, but I did fix the problem by giving some thickness to the mesh (extruding the edge of a panel) and then setting corners where the mesh was bleeding to a crease value of 1.0.

That fixed the problem if anyone encounters that particular issue.

@adsb2035 Wow, nice render!

[Michallis Pashidis]

I like the technique shown in the stream much more than starting to block out, like Kent said, step by step with a finished panel each time. 

My second panel done, am I going in the right direction?

[Palo Piktor]

Hi guys,

Just started modeling my car. Here’s what i was able to achieve during day1. Hope you like it 🙂

And wires
