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

[Zsolt Cseh]

those area lights do not yet understand how awesome Eevee is, so they’re teasing us a bit 😛

@smurfmier1985 Exactly that is the approach! 🙂 

Thanks just again yes probably light source is too close to the mirror, anyway no I am not using reflection plane yet, but per your question will try to Google how to use it.

[Kent Trammell]

@arev Yes just so long as you’re pointing to the artist the best you can. I’ll credit the username if they don’t show their full name. But I always hyperlink to the artist’s portfolio (artstation for example), linkedin, facebook, twitter, or personal website. The link is more important than the name imo.

[Kent Trammell]

@csehz Here’s the .blend for that light setup if you want to take a look. The background cylinder is grey but the world is a teal color and the cylinder soaks up a lot of it. I’m not exactly sure what you mean by the white sparkling shine from the bottom 😅

..the gradiants are so nice delicate..

Yeah gradients!

[Zsolt Cseh]

@theluthier Thanks a lot that is very generous Kent providing the .blend file, I totally missed the color of the world out from the calculation, I understand the logic of the pattern now

[Chris Carroll]

My submission. Candle lit bathroom

[Zsolt Cseh]

@sirchced I would say Chris that looks awesome, very interesting atmosphere there

[Chris Carroll]

@csehz Thanks Zsolt

[Omar Domenech]

Kent said something about filling a questioner, where is it so I can fulfill its purpose in the universe.

[Kent Trammell]

@dostovel I’ll post it today along with the closing post. Within a couple hours is my goal

THUS ENDETH THE CLASS

---

Here’s to the biggest class yet! More participants, more homework submissions, more grades, more XP all suggesting that more was learned this month than any other class month before. That’s pretty cool. Being the final class of 2018, I’d say that’s a good way to go out.

THIS COMMUNITY: It never ceases to amaze me how truly exceptional you all are together. You help each other, you encourage each other, you critique each other, you cheer for each another, you challenge each other, you laugh with each other, you create cool art with each other. In an internet of trolls, you stand apart. I am incredibly proud of how well you conduct yourselves during these classes.

Consistency: I know it’s a lot of work and time to stay committed for 4 straight weeks. Out of 53 total Citizens that submitted homework, 21 submitted all 4 weeks. These people deserve some commendation for tolerating me:

• Pavel Mazanik ( @nekronavt )
• Miranda van Elst ( @smurfmier1985 )
• Aaron Rudderham ( @thecabbagedetective )
• Jere Haapaharju ( @swikni )
• Katerina Novakova ( @shiennar )
• Zsolt Cseh ( @csehz )
• @silentheart00
• Yukino Hatake ( @yukinoh1989 )
• @n647
• Mahir Tasin ( @mahir07 )
• Grady Pruitt ( @gradyp )
• John Sanderson ( @procyonlotor )
• Omar Domenech ( @dostovel )
• Markus R ( @slemgrim )
• @cthulusan 
• @jack07 
• Tania Pinheiro ( @tcmpinheiro )
• @arev 
• Nathan Foster ( @blenderrender1993 )
• John Monterone ( @jm3d )
• @mjans 

Volunteer Instructor’s Assistants: 3 galant members heeded the official call while 3 others earned honorary VA status, proving themselves very valuable resources to me, the class, or both. I can’t thank you enough but here’s an all-caps THANK YOU!

• Zsolt Cseh ( @csehz )
• Aaron Rudderham ( @thecabbagedetective )
• @silentheart00
• Miranda van Elst ( @smurfmier1985 ) for being particularly present and helpful in all class threads
• Pavel Mazanik ( @nekronavt ) for also being particularly present and helpful in all class threads
• Katerina Novakova ( @shiennar ) for cutting a homework reel every week

Highest Grade: Pavel Mazanik takes home the most cookies this month with 176 XP! Remember to check Zolt’s Report Card to see how you did. Reminder that I calculated the total value for everyone based on this scale: F/- = 0, D = 10, C = 20, B = 30, A = 40, + = 5. I will manually be applying individual XP totals to your account in the next 24 hours.

NOTE: If you see that I missed a grade, please let me know – I want you to get all the XP you’ve earned.

Your Feedback is important. In an effort to improve the class experience and give you a chance to cast your votes for classes in 2019, please take a few minutes to fill out this questionnaire. I would greatly appreciate it 🙇🏻‍♂️

Thanks for joining BC4-1810! Classes will commence again as “Workshops” in 2019 🍎

[smurfmier1985]

@thecabbagedetective Lol, we got the same amount of points again just like last class 😛 Pavel beat us by 3 points 😆

@nekronavt Well earned best of class!! Your Eevee experiments and Metal Pumpkin inspired me this month, awesome job! 🤘🏻🎉

@theluthier Thanks for another awesome workshop class! These are such a learning boost and your teachings inspire me to do better. Looking forward to the next workshop in 2019 😀😄

@ all my classmates, thanks for another awesome class! Your feedback, encouragement, explanations and the cool stuff you made is a great inspiration and very motivating. Keep up the good stuff and hope to see you all for the next one! 😎👍🏻

All righty, going to fill in that questionnaire now 🚀

@theluthier its been great to follow this from side. only regret is that i wished to participate, however, having dayjob and a 3d gig at evenings meant that i had to put hold everything else. and what really sting is that i needed the shading and lighting stuff,  but eventually i will have time to go these through, its going to be relatively soon since the 3d gig is coming to an end. But guess its what it is when you are trying to change career, time and patience. and knowing the limits. Burnout is no joke. 

Keep blending everyone. Never give up on your dreams. Stay in health!

[Aaron Rudderham]

@smurfmier1985 3… points…

In all seriousness thought this class was awesome, shoutout to @nekronavt for kicking ass both in having the most points and just being an all around Eevee guru. It’s a bit embarrassing when I can’t help as a VA ’cause I haven’t much of a clue about Eevee but your prescience was very much appreciated.

Welp, that’s a wrap guys. It was fun. It was stressful. Mostly fun though. For me this is a class I had wanted for a long time and I genuinely feel my lighting has changed almost night and day thanks to it, so thanks to @theluthier for conducting an amazing class and thanks to all of you for making the experience even more enjoyable. If you’ll excuse me I have a date with Red Dead Redemption 2 but I look forward to seeing a lot of you again come January. This isn’t “goodbye,” merely “see you soon.” Yeah that sounded a lot better in my head. 

[Pavel Mazanik]

@theluthier @thecabbagedetective @smurfmier1985 

Thank you all, I’m glad I was helpful to anyone 🙂

And thank you all for company and feedback during this class. I’m both glad that I can rest a bit now, and sad that it ends. Those live streams was really a mood maker for the week.

 If you’ll excuse me I have a date with Red Dead Redemption 2

Damn, last months make me want to buy PS4…
