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

@jakeblended Shrinkwrap is indeed the key ;), I abuse the hell out of it.

[Jake Korosi]

@baukepost YES SHRINKWRAP ALL THE THINGS.  I first learned about the modifier in the Intro to Retopology course, but I never realized its true usefulness until this class.  I don’t know how I ever tried modeling without it!

[Jeremy Pouillot]

@jakeblended thanks !

[Morten Fjellheim]

I was unable to submit anything due to sudden illness this week. I will attempt to sculpt something for this weeks homework.

[Tobias Schmid]

I have skipped this weeks homework. But i grabbed my rarely used tablet and prepared for the next week with some sculpt exercises in Blender 2.8. I’m excited about this last part.

[Omar Domenech]

@theluthier Yes, the dash is in the middle in this Toyota. I had this car for 8 years and it always blew people’s mind when they saw the dash. Not only for being in the middle but it is digital and has some kid of depth of field 3D effect on the screen. Very rad. But after 8 faithful years it was time to sell it, now I’m immortalizing it in a render as a thank you for the years of great service.

Hmm, I’ve got a problem.

I know, it’s terrible.  But I need that to be a sharp corner.  Help?

[Bauke Post]

@silentheart00 You’ve got a six-sided pole on a curved surface, that’s a no no :). I think Kent had a section or exercise about this in his sci-fi helmet course, you might find some answers there.

[silentheart00]

@baukepost Yeah, I figured that 6 pole was a problem.  I’m trying to think of a way to resolve it without altering the existing geometry too badly.

[Bauke Post]

Hey guys, I’ve got a question about UV mapping: when you are unwrapping you model unto the UV map, do you have every island pinned at the end so they don’t change rotation (and position) when you unwrap again or is there a smarter way? I’m also using the rectify tool from Textools so I don’t want to lose those edits.

[Aaron Rudderham]

Got a bit of an issue where whenever I go to apply a material there’s a chance Blender will slow down to a crawl making it impossible to do anything and I have to reload. Any know about this?

[Jake Korosi]

@thecabbagedetective My Blender always lags a bit too when I set the viewer to Material or Texture mode, but never that bad.  

Maybe turning off the visibility of some modifiers?  

[Katerina Novakova]

@jakeblended Wow, thank you for such a detailed answer. 🙂 I’ve been using shrinkwrap modifier quite a bit, but I’ll have a look at the video all the same – seems like there are a lot more uses of it that I haven’t thought of. (In this project I used it mainly to position a circle mesh where I wanted a circular cutout. Then I joined the circle to the original mesh, deleted vertices in the middle of the circle and filled in the topology. Long live the F2 addon.) I haven’t had any issues when applying the shrinkwrap, though. I just had to move it to the top of the stack. I’ve seen it mess up the mirror modifier, but that’s luckily not too hard to fix.

Homework Submission Week 3

my interior is not finished but this is what i could do for this week.

[Aaron Rudderham]

@jakeblended I’ll certainly give it a shot, cheers!
