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

[Aaron Rudderham]

@tbrbn Damn I’m really loving those panels, I really hope you return to it and complete because this looks amazing as is, so surely it could only be improved it. Absolutely great.

[Aaron Rudderham]

@csehz I’m liking it! I hope you shade your taxi in the shading class, I’d love to see that thing with the stripes on it! Glad to hear that you did better than you expected, I think that’s the case for a lot of us. A deadline and a bit of structure can do wonders for us.

[Aaron Rudderham]

@swikni Woah, we’ve barely heard anything out of you this week and you just drop this bombshell on us?! I love the sculpting on the gearstick especially. I hope you decide to render this with an HDRI at some point, could look amazing.

[Aaron Rudderham]

@shiennar Daaaang those are some sleek models! Really like how you managed to add the logo on the steering wheel too. Hopefully that car shading class comes to fruition so you can take this to the next level!

[Aaron Rudderham]

@vlado159 Oops, missed this one. I feel you with the scare references – at least initially – but you’ve done a damn good job with what you had. I really like the robust simplicity of the steering wheel, I hope you’ll consider shading this one day.

Homework Submission Week 3

This was more difficult than the exterior.  So many tiny details, and the usual having to start some objects over again a couple of times while I was finding out how to make a thing or create this or that effect.   I have learned a lot, but I feel like I have to now keep modeling stuff regularly or some of these tricks will atrophy in my brain.

Anyway, here it is.

All right so next week is concept sculpting right?  Looking forward to it for sure after this.

@jakeblended I wanna give up, this is just… wow. You even did some furry dice oh my Lord, this is just utterly fantastic. How long have you been doing Blender may I ask?

[Jake Korosi]

@thecabbagedetective I started seriously in November.  I tried poking at it earlier than that – I think I did the famous Donut Tutorial a year ago or so – but it never went anywhere and I never retained anything.  Everything I know solidly about Blender today comes from courses I’ve done here since November. 🙂

I think the renders might give the impression of more skill than I have; it’s really all materials.  I think Kent’s idea for an automotive shading class is an excellent idea because every single final model posted by anyone in this thread would look unbelievable with some materials TLC.

[Aaron Rudderham]

@jakeblended Damn you haven’t been at this much more that me, I really gotta step my game up haha. I guess that may be true about the materials, as in the shader forge it’s proven that a good model can look bad without proper shading and vice versa, but ignoring the materials your attention to detail is marvelous, you even modeled the speedometer!

[Jake Korosi]

@thecabbagedetective I think that’s just me having more time on my hands than you, heh.

I think @tbrbn  might edge me out in the detail department though.  The inside of his truck looks like an airplane cockpit.  I like the CB radio.  And so many gauges – I know it’s based on photographs and I can’t help but wonder what all the gauges are for; surely a big truck can’t be that much more mechanically complicated than a car?

This back bumper is looking great!  I’m going to remodel the front a little bit.  After looking through some more references, it doesn’t make sense with how it is now.  I’m a week behind.  Oh well.  The things we juggle through life…

[Jake Korosi]

@swikni So awesome.  It feels like this could be a CAD from the actual vehicle designer.

[Jake Korosi]

@shiennar I honestly can’t tell what you’re missing if anything.  Looks great.

[Aaron Rudderham]

@jakeblended Yeah @tbrbn ‘s is amazing, really looking forward to the shading class to see that and plenty of others come to life. And don’t doubt it, a truck – especially a truck designed to carry trailers – can be quiiiite complex. Trust me, I’ve played Euro Truck Simulator 2, I’m a bonafide expert.

[Aaron Rudderham]

@silentheart00 Ah don’t worry about being late, just concentrate on being great. Ooo that rhymed. But seriously you’re doing a great job so keep at it and don’t rush yourself.
