Looking good, Robin!

Some parts (above the middle of the crate) are a bit too black, maybe….the ‘detail highlights’ on this corner, separating it from the background are very hard to see (could also be partly due to image compression):

[Robin Neidhardt]

Hi Martin,

thx for the hint 🙂 I made the back-light a bit stronger. I think the Details are now a bit more visible. I also tinted the fill light in red to create some coloured highlights.

[Martin Bergwerf]

That’s definitely better now, Robin👍🏼

Happy New Year!

[Omar Domenech]

Martin’s feedback helped a lot. Your crate must be top 3 of the best sci-fi crates in here. Top job man 🤘🏻

[Robin Neidhardt]

Thx so much! This really means a lot to me. This is the first time sharing my work in a 3D-Community, so this kind of feedback really surprises me.

And yeah Martin, you really helped me out!

Thanks again to both of you and have a happy new year 🙂

One of the best Sci-Fi crates I’ve seen so far! Awesome lighting. The changes definitely made those details pop. Keep up the good work, excited to see what you share next!

Modeling a Soccer Ball

Good practice for quick selection tools. Just added a bit of lighting and a Default Cube with a Hair-Particle System

Modeling a Logo

Cool scene, you went above and beyond. With the map of the world in the background and the hologram style on the cookie, I’d say he is at the World Council Human Affairs and Beyond meeting room and all the members are discussing super important matters.

Best-looking  cookie I’ve seen so far here!

Modeling a Low-Poly Room (Well… not quiet low poly)

First time not relying on a tutorial since starting out a year ago 🙂 Excited to hear your thoughts!

[Omar Domenech]

That is just an amazing result. I can safely say you’re not at the same skill level as a year ago, you leveled up big time 🤙🏼
