@smurfmier1985 Hi Miranda, yeah I’m trying to use my new knoledge I’m going to finish it by the end of the week and hopefully will have the pilder ready by monday!!

Back to the Pilder :D, after watching more videos of the modeling bootcamp course I was able to identify a couple of errors I made, the biggest one was that the model of the pilder was high poly. By working with less polygons I have more control on how  the model flows and was able to build the middle part of the body. While being stuck in one part I built the engine.

Now I can say I’m loving how is coming together. My plan for today after I finish work is to see more videos learn few tricks and keep building.

@theluthier  Hi Kent, I was disappointed too but I didn’t have the time to work on the pilder, but you can be 100% sure that we will see the pilder before the class is over!

@thecabbagedetective  Thanks Aaron, I will finish it!

@silentheart00  yeah I will keep working in it, I’ve been watching the modeling bootcamp and so far I got new knowledge that will help me to finish the pilder and on top of that Julian pointed out the normals issue.

@bsdwerbeagentur Julian THANK YOU SO MUCH!! While making the pilder I got a lot of parts with the blueish color, and didn’t know the reason.. Now I know! Thanks for taking the time to explain me!

@jakeblended Hi Jake, I’m finishing the pilder! I did the headphones because I’m taking the class really serious and didn’t want to miss a homework..

Thanks!

@nekronavt Hi Pavel, thanks! How can you tell the model got inverted normals?

Thanks again!

[Andres Altuve]

@smurfmier1985 Thanks Miranda! Yeah, I really want it to be done but there are still a lot things I don’t know.. I will finish it before the last class! 

Thanks again!

I’m sorry guys but I won’t be able to have the pilder ready before the homework deadline, when I began the project I knew it was a challenge and this could be a possible end, I’m still stuck with the middle part, still need to figure out how to build it. I will keep working on it next week and have it ready before the last class of the course.

That being said, here is the homework submission for this week, it is an headphones, nothing interesting. It has a couple of details that must be fixed but I don’t have time to do it.

As for the pilder, I will start working as soon as I finish the next class homework.

@theluthier Thanks Kent! Still a long way to go..

@smurfmier1985 THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

@smurfmier1985 Hi Miranda, I have no idea what proportional editing is, Im going to look for that video! Thanks for the tip!!

[Andres Altuve]

@smurfmier1985, @csehz  thanks guys! hopefully I will be able to finish.. At the moment I’m stuck in the middle part.

I came up with the solution of connecting the last edge in the end to where that part should end, added couple of edges using the knife tool and shape it a little bit.

Here is the result, a nice curve and now working on the details, hopefully this solution will work if not start from scratch that part again.

So far, besides learning the tools and how the edges flow and how affects the mesh I also learnt that a 3D model is like programming, a model is like a big problem that has to be broken in small problems then solve each little problem to resolve the whole thing. That is the approach im using.
