May Live Critiques – Submit Your Blender Art!

[Kent Trammell]

This May, all Blender Live Events will be dedicated to community critiques. That means each week in May we will select a handful of Citizen Pro members’ Blender projects to critique live during a stream.

If you would like the focused eyes and insight of Kent and Jonathan Lampel to help push your Blender Art to the next level, please submit one of your projects to this thread. Both of us specialize in modeling, texturing, shading, and lighting of which we’re most apt to critique. But I’m confident I could convince Wayne Dixon to guest-host an animation critique if we get interest in that.

Instructions for Submission:

NOTE: All active Citizen members have access to watch these live critique sessions and submit art to be critiqued in this thread.

1. Post an image or embed a video to this thread representing your Blender Project for critique.
   • Optionally, if you have multiple images, post a link to your project on cgcookie.com.
2. IMPORTANT: Please provide context for the project with a description that gives us an idea of what you’re trying to achieve.
   • “I’m going for realism but something feels off and you don’t know what…”
   • “I’d like to match the style of ______. What should I do to get there?”

I made this image for the “Infinity” Weekly CG Challenge.  I call it “Beyond Fractals”.  I want the viewer to feel a sense of mathematical wonder.

@williamatics I like the abstract nature of this. Thanks for submitting and for the context

[William Miller]

@theluthier You’re welcome.  As soon as I saw the word “Infinity”, I knew what I had to make.  I love mathematics.

[William Miller]

As I type this I am rendering an animation I want to submit.

first scene project , did that i year ago , i was going for realism , i was inspired by the old school american tatoo icon ! 

in my head i wanted some post apocalyptic retro vegas !

[Kent Trammell]

@malhomsi Love this image! We’ll dig deep for some constructive feedback 🤓

[William Miller]

This is an animation that I would like a critique for.

My browser won’t show either of the video formats.  Can you see them?

[Kent Trammell]

@williamatics Uh oh, no I can’t. I’ll notify our dev that we need to exclude the video upload option from the reply UI.

Could you embed the video via vimeo or youtube?

[William Miller]

@theluthier No.  I’d send you the blend file, but it won’t let me pack the frames into the file.

[William Miller]

Here are some individual frames:

(Frame 1)

(Frame 6)

(Frame 11)

(Frame 48)

(Frame 75)

@williamatics Looks like a rigid body sim?

PS: It’s 2018 and you don’t have a youtube account? 😜

I made this to work on my texturing skills and also to test out the hair particles, I would love to know your thought on it? thanks for reading this.
