[ENDED] BC4-1810 – October 2018 Class Homepage – Shading & Lighting with Blender

[Zsolt Cseh]

Turning into the last week of the CG Cookie classes in 2018, let’s increase the interest with some gamification and spicy statistics 😀

Who were the best students with the highest XPs gained in the particular classes?

The answer is in the All-Star Hall of Fame:

BC1-1801 – January Class – Katerina Novakova 190XP

BC2-1803 – March Class – Matthew Ullrey 180XP

BC3-1806 – June Class – Aaron Rudderham 178XP

BC1-1808 – August Class – Miranda van Elst & Aaron Rudderham 195XP

So who will be the best in the BC4-1810 – October Class? 🙂

@csehz Sadly… I’ve gotten no points this month. 🙁 that I’m aware of.

[Zsolt Cseh]

@gradyp Thanks that you reported the issue again, being aware that you mentioned already in this main thread. I just believed that Kent will perceive your comment, but you know it can be tricky to manage 50+ submissions this month which is record high. 

The diagnosis seems that @theluthier  Kent probably is going by the names on sheet ‘BC4-1810 – October Class’ in the report card and that is why not grading your weekly submissions, because your name was not added on the first week accidentally.

So to help him I added your name now, presumably Tuesday he will continue the grading and the things will be corrected

I am going to monitor this case, surely your work will be graded and the well deserved XPs got, no worries. Your work last week got even to the favourites of Kent so he remember you, just being not aware that the grades are missing.

Anyway nice to see that already 52 members joined this month, great community have been raised up here by the classes in 2018 🙂

This is the first class I’ve taken on CGCookie and I really like the format.  Are the other classes still available or planned to be rerun?

[Grady Pruitt]

@csehz Thanks, Zsolt. I think the first week, I got missed because my homework thread title wasn’t quite formatted correctly, so was missed in the searches. And I did see my work in the video. Kent just never commented on my thread and I hadn’t seen my name on the spreadsheet 😀 Glad all that’s fixed now, esp since I have posted every week 😀

[Kent Trammell]

@cthulusan I’m glad you’re enjoying the format! Yes I will certainly schedule more classes soon including reruns. In next week’s stream (class conclusion stream, to be scheduled asap) I’m going to discuss the immediate future of streaming and classes.

[Kent Trammell]

@csehz Thank you for adding Grady’s name! I’ve no idea how he fell through the cracks each week, but I’m going to fix that today 🙇🏻‍♂️

Its ok if the scene for this week homework is focused  on something more industrial like?

[Grady Pruitt]

Not sure how to get that first one rotated but…

This last weekend, I was at the Dallas Arboretum and took these. I show them, because they show lighting like we’ve been talking about this month. this first I intentionally took because of the rim lighting.

This second one I took in the shadows and is an example of a scene primarily lit by diffuse (indirect) lighting.

And this last is in direct sunlight, lighting it as it from a single Key light.

The first I did take for the rim but looking through the others I took I saw these. and that rim on the pumpkins wasn’t the only rim I was noticing. I saw it in faces and lots of other places. I think I took a lot of these more for reference if I wanted to model a pumpkin or try to texture one, but I can see how this shows a lot of what we’ve been talking about too.

And as I’m posting this… I’m even noticing contact shadows and more 😀
