First Scene (yes, I know its bad)

[kandrei99]

My first scene created in Blender based on the Blender Basics tutorial by CGCookie. Yes, I know its bad. But I figured I’d post this  because whether I know it or not, this is a major milestone in my 3D journey. Im excited to make cool stuff but it all starts with making bad stuff. So here’s to pushing through the bad to get to the good! Cheers!

Congrats on doing something and accomplishing it!  We all start somewhere, and your journey is just beginning.  This scene is a good start, but here are some ideas to help improve it:

• Add some depth of field!  You can really play with the image by using some depth of field.  Go subtle or extreme.  Experiment.  It can also bring the eye towards what you want, which is probably the snowman.
• Add some more lights!  Depending on what kind of atmosphere you’re going for, maybe add some more lights.  It’s a touch too dark for me; a little hard to make out the subjects.  Or alternately…
• Use the compositor to brighten it up a smidge!
• Make sure all the objects are smooth!  There’s some weird faceting on the torso, maybe because the sphere isn’t quite as smooth as it could be.

Overall, congrats on making something!  Now, polish it up and on to the next challenge!

For you’re first scene this is good. My very first models didn’t had colors. Didn’t knew how to do that so don’t worry. In time you’re gonna. Start making awesome models. You’re on the right track

Cool, keep going!

Just one thing: get in the habit of naming your objects!!! Otherwise you’ll very soon end up with scenes filled with Cube, …, Cube.067, Cylinder, …, Cylinder.011, etc. Then try to find something;)

Do this from the start, not when it gets confusing, even with simple scenes.

Good luck and have fun with your 3D journey; it’s a hard road, it’s a long road, but it’s very satisfying. That’s a promise!

Learning photography basics will help you better understand light, exposure and composition. It is almost always about creating an illusion for the viewer.
