@spikeyxxx , thanks for the deeper explanation of color and diffuse reflection. A better understanding at color management always help to work smarter. And if things are confusing me a bit, I need to think about it and this helps a lot to keep it in mind. 

@blanchsb, I will definitive try it, thanks! I already used HDRI image. If I use only environment light without image the colore looks better but not so realistic.

@theluthier wow thanks a lot!

Thanks to the whole community, and the class format, which helped me a lot to improve my work in the last weeks. Not only my own project helps me, I love to look at the other projects and also learn from them. It is very impressive to see how creative folks worked with this topic!

This was my first class and I definitively will join the next one 🙂

OMG! I have so much fun by looking the video 🙂 I think I am grinning 3 minutes 🙂

Very great job!

WoW I love the Blender-Coins 🙂

First board and first painted:

Nothing special.

Second board third painted:

I just tried to fix the problems by cutting out the text. It helps for the Texture-painting but not for the shading issues.

I need an edge split modifier to fix.

Third board forth painted:

The Best result is with crating a face loop around each letter. Now i really know why it is important. Takes a long time 🙁

At the beginning it was very frustrating, but at the end I improve my speed a lot (could not believe 🙂 and it was pure fun to push and pull all these vertices WooHoo 🙂

I think my topology is not sexy but it works for this project.

Fourth board and second painted:

UV-Map:

The map looks a bit odd. I forgot to over paint the old painted texture.

@n647 thank you!

I think that I have 4 boards with different styles is a little bit odd 🙂 I try many technics of drawing and adding the text to the boards. There are 4 names of individual persons and so all 4 boards are also individual and told the stories of my personal development.

Homework Week 3 Submission 

Planks from the background are procedural texture. Haven’t enough time to draw them. Try to show some making of and setup tomorrow.

@theluthier hihi thanks yes that’s right. But if I didn’t try it I didn’t know it 😉 Thanks for the background info of wood pattern, i thought I saw something like this before but I didn’t remember where this was. I will try something to fix this problem because I am sure I can need the knowledge (hope can forgot the pain ;).

@theluthier thank you! OMG now if you say it I see it so clear 🙂 I like the style of diagonal wood lines, but you are right wood never cracks diagonal to the wood grain….why I don’t see it by my self. I think the middle boards need a new UV-unwrap, I have to cutout the text because there are a lot of stretching and the painting was very odd. Post some pictures in the afternoon.

@cthulusan just great!

[Philipp Bauer]

@n647 , I love your painted wood texture, really impressive!

[Philipp Bauer]

@dostovel yes it could be 🙂

The meaning of the Celtic symbol:

The Tree of Life commonly represents the interconnections of everything in the universe.

It also represents the connection to one’s family and ancestors. The Tree of Life has an intricate network of branches that represents how a family grows and expands throughout many generations.

@ghujelk , @spikeyxxx I am glad that you like it. The Font was not available in Blender, so I model it by my own. By applying the Boolean I had a lot of shading artifacts but it’s ok now. I think it would work better if I make edges to the vert’s of the text, but then it is a high poly mesh 🙂

Homework Week 2 Submission

Sometimes I thought it would never be finished. To unwrap the boards with the text was horrible and isn’t good but time is gone.

I really learned a lot….I need some more knowledge about different blend types and shortcuts to switch between the tools.

I am very bad at drawing and so the result makes me even happier 🙂

[Philipp Bauer]

@spikeyxxx thanks! I also will try this 🙂 It looks much cleaner. Is it necessary to apply the Boolean modifier?
