Polybook of NumberNine

Been participating in the daily model thread. I don’t plan on following every single day (want to spend some time on the character too) but it’s pretty fun.

Some more stuff from the daily thread

Some good news is that I’ve somehow managed to get a paid internship position at an architectural bureau where I’ll be helping to make renders of interiors / exteriors of various projects. I’m psyched, but also kind of scared. We’ll see! 

That does mean I’ll be posting less frequently since I’ll be busy with work / learning new software other than Blender, but I intend to keep making Blender stuff in my spare time! Here’s something I started today. Based on 2D artwork by Samuel Youn

@numbernine Congrats on the internship!  From what you posted so far, you definitely have some chops.  Good luck!

[numbernine]

@silentheart00 Thanks! 🙂

Messing around with subsurface stuff.

(WIP)Doing more sculpts based on art that inspires me. I want to improve my technical skills foremost instead of getting stuck trying to think up of my own designs. Does anyone have a tip concerning eyelids? I’ve always had trouble getting them right, mostly because some of the folds where the creases overlap are very tricky to pull off. I know that a good way to get nice creasing is to use ‘subdivide edges’ and the inflate brushes, but I find it hard to control in a delicate area such as the eyelids.

Thanks for the kind words!

Just watched the first stylized eevee environment stream. Drew myself up a bit of a quick concept of the feeling I was going for. I want to have a lot of it blocked out and at least one prop done for next week’s stream.

I landed on a scene and composition idea for the simple eevee environment challenge. Currently just playing around with a lot of things, trying all kinds of wacky things to see if I can stumble upon something nice. I still need to work out the theme and design a bit more, then move on to categorizing all the props that need to be made.

@numbernine That looks great, except I can’t tell what that thing on the top is.  Is it a tornado or a waterfall?

[numbernine]

@williamatics 

I do need to work on making that a bit more clear. The scene started as a giant cenote, so the original scene was originally inside a giant cylinder with a hole in it where the sun could shine through. Putting a giant waterfall back there actually sounds really dope, wonder how I didn’t think of that; totally stealing that idea, thanks 😀

[William Miller]

@numbernine What’s a cenote, and why is “dope” a compliment?

[numbernine]

@williamatics

A cenote is something like this

And ‘dope’ can mean many things. Apparently the origins behind dope meaning something like ‘cool’ or ‘awesome’ started in the the 80’s rap scene. I learned something myself today.

Threw in a quick placeholder waterfall; it actually looks really fitting.
