@dostovel I’m so happy to hear that, Omar! 3 cheers for edge modeling ✊✊✊

[Kent Trammell]

@freddie82 I think that’s a great idea. It’d be a natural next step since we’ll all have sweet car models. Perhaps the next class after I re-run the beginner class in August 🤔

Hello,
I made little progress on my model.
My intention is to model something like that, may be not with all the details, but having one single mesh like the real structure. I want all the doors to be functional.

It’s not easy, but i think i’m on my way. There are still geometry to add and fix, and topology of course.
May be you don’t see it imediately, but i’ve fixed a lot of things since last session, with the help of references.
I placed some new elements and reshape things there and there, and prepare for next steps in the front.

I want to model the holes in the metal in front of the car. I also blocked the interior limits.
I take my time to update the overall model, instead of modeling piece by piece in detail.
It allows to move parts and modify without having to redo or deconstruct what would have been made in a hurry.
Also, i wanted to be sure what i can’t avoid to model and what i can before going ahead in details.

I realize i have a different workflow or method than most of you.
I don’t use the subsurf yet, I stay in flat mode and I model the overall instead of piece by piece.
I want to have the right proportions and coherence before modeling details.
Well, i don’t know what is the best but i feel more comfortable this way, regarding the choice of car.
With modern designs i would use your method.
Also, having this big complex single mesh (light blue color) can’t be done just like it was a single plate or piece.
Well, still blocky for now,  but i have everything in place to start detail modeling.

Thanks for watching !
right clic on images to display them

I noticed my submissions are missing on the Consolidated. Two F 🙁

@freddie82 How about shading in general?  Week one could be about metallic materials, week two about refractive materials, week three for organic materials, etc.

[Kent Trammell]

@lollito_larkham Your model is coming along nicely! Good job with he super clean topology. Candy to a modeler’s eyes 🤩

If you’re modeling primarily from images instead of a blueprint, I too would likely block out the whole thing first then subsurf it after. But as I and most others are modeling from blueprints, there’s not much worry about whether the proportions will be correct. Still though, the variety of workflows is one of the things that makes CG beautiful! Your method is clearly working 👍

My apologies about the missing grades. Then again this is why I shared the spreadsheet – so you all could call me on my mistakes lol. Your grade has been updated.

Hi all, yesterday a can’t stay in streaming but stealing time to model my ¿car? Here it is my progress

[Kaj Suominen]

@williamatics looking good, in this kind of situations were you have blueprint and this tank actually exists in real world, you could look for reference pictures and see how the gun mantle is built. But since you were concepting this aswell, that looks good. 

[Kaj Suominen]

@theluthier had to bailout half during the stream, just finished. excellent stuff. got couple aha moments. 🙂 

also, when you do G-G and slide the loop, E and F control on the fly which side the loop aligns. saved me countles of hours. 

[Morten Fjellheim]

The hood completed, more or less! Only some minor cleanup.

[Palo Piktor]

@kjcummings Great work on that plane, love the result.

[Palo Piktor]

@theluthier Thanks, Kent. Fun part begins with front bumper. 

Reading posts here i found i have missed a info with blueprint link requirement. So here it is https://www.the-blueprints.com/vectordrawings/show/14840/renault_grand_scenic/  sorry for that.

Discovered this class just on Saturday with a lots of courses to watch beforehand. So i was in a bit rush with a plane modeling to deliver it on time. But still couldn’t find the time to watch modeling with primitives course. Finished  watching Hardsurface modeling bootcamp just yesterday right before the stream. So my question is, can i deliver primitive exercise model like  till the end of this week ? I really want to complete it but time runs against me.

[Palo Piktor]

@llusd You did this in one day ?

CLASS ANNOUNCEMENT #4 (June 13, 2018)

Week 2’s stream recording is now available to watch if you missed the broadcast. Also the additional timelapse video mentioned in the stream is available here. It’s a little over an hour of work sped up 250%; not the whole car but most of the front half.

[mrdojo]

such amazing models in here. Keep up the good work all! I started my own model today. This model is really going to push my modeling skills but so far its allot of fun.

@llusd Excellent progress! Nearly done it seems to me 👍
