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

[Aaron Rudderham]

This is the part I’ve been dreading most, may the Lord have mercy on my sculpting skills.

[Thibaut Bourbon]

@baukepost Your progression is seriously impressive and really inspiring ! Great job, keep it up!

[Kent Trammell]

@dieedi Excellent job! From your first WIP post to end of week 2, your steampunk car has come a long way. It’s got a style that reminds me of the old 90’s animated batman show, which I adored. And the topology is very clean. I’ve a couple minor notes; nitpicky notes:

First, the trunk area is a a little wobbly on the car body side (red line), while the trunk door edge is not (green). Evening out the red edge would be 👌

Second, I see some holding edges on the side that make the topology unevenly distributed and it shows in the smooth shaded view. You could kill them with a diamond junction to remedy this (green is new topology, red is removal).

Remember those are nitpicky notes. Overall its a solid model! A in my book.

@michallis Awesome work! You’ve made incredible progress since your first WIP post. Your surfaces are extremely smooth, edges are crisp, details are excellent. The amount of effort you’ve put in this week is evident and it’s paid off. You’ve earned an A fo sho 👏

@draniction I’m sorry to hear you’re bowing out. But I understand – we’ll run this class again in the future! Thanks for posting your progress on the hood. It looks really nice! I toss you a D+ (15 XP points) for what you’ve done. Thanks for participating! Till next time, Peter 🍻

[Aaron Rudderham]

Damn these homework submissions are just pouring in, you guys are doing an excellent job! Getting a little jealous if I’m honest haha.

[Kent Trammell]

@doulos4iesou Thanks for the wires! They’re looking good. You’ve struck a balance between even quads and optimal amount of geometry 👍 You’ve earned an A

[Kent Trammell]

@doulos4iesou AFAIK porting a model + textures materials to sketchfab is basically re-making the materials with sketchfab’s interface. I show a bit of that process in this lesson.

@theluthier oh the friggin bumps. missed those. thanks, will adjust those. 🙂

[Kaj Suominen]

I see everyone has done great job with their vehicles. 🙂 awesome looking beuaties coming along. 🙂

[Kent Trammell]

@silenthans Um…I think the curves on the vehicle underestimated the modeler! You crushed the body shape imo. I’d like to see a wireframe-on-shaded view (or sketchfab upload 🙏) just for some added confirmation on the model’s quality, but as far as I can tell, this is an A-level model easily. Great job, Hans 👏

@oboshape 

gotta love this community 😉

Amen! I never really understood the truth of this statement till these classes. Nearly brings tears to my eyes 😊

Being aware of your narrative this week, I have to commend your effort and perseverance. And look what it’s done for you! Your vehicle model is shaping up very nicely. And you couldn’t be more correct that this is a very involved project. So much so that I’m considering the option to give you guys the choice of bypassing the interior to continue working on the exterior.

Objectively speaking, the model feels about 85-90% accurate to the real thing. So while there’s room for improvement – as you say practice practice and yes, you will get there – but the quality of your model combined with your effort has earned you a B+ in my book. Great job this week, Darren 👏

[Kent Trammell]

@az93 It’s well on its way, Matt. The wireframe is holding steady, shapes are taking form. Based on completeness, it’s a C+ in my book. Keep up the good work 👍

[Kent Trammell]

@thepainter Haha I know the eyes of which you speak 😅

[Kent Trammell]

@ullreym Holy smooth curved surfaces, Batman. You’re shaping the curves very well – not an easy task either. Overall it’s excellent work. The one questionable area to me is the body panel above the rear wheel:

With respect to completeness in conjunction with quality of the model, it’s a strong B+ in my book. Good work, Matthew 👍
