I’m done it! I hope to add a rig to it next week or two and figure out how to give his body a soft body type feel so that it looks like it’s filled with stuffing when animated. A lot of work. But i think it’ll turn out awesome. This took about a month of very non-intense work to do. Enjoy! I used the tutorial here: http://vimeo.com/4622616
Finally finished a project i’d been putting off for months. The wood texture is horrible, but my main focus was on modeling the meshes and glass materials. But mainly the meshes. I’ll put up the screenshots of just the meshes tonight.
Lookee! Pretty objects!
Meshes to come soon. :) Glad to come back to Blender. I’m planning on working 30 min a day at it. Discipline… You know there isn’t any sold on Craigslist? How would i know this?
Another of my interests is music, for which i’m currently focusing on composing and trying to evoke certain moods. For that purpose i made this neat and short and VERY simple soundtrack for an old animation enjoy. Hopefully my work will be far better in the future, but everyone starts somewhere.
Render of a crystal glass i made. Shadow not really there. But that’s not why i was modeling it. The edges are a little boxy, but i’ll figure out how to prevent that next time. The main point was just mesh modeling experience, and material experimentation.
It's made out of frozen lime juice, so whatever drink is inside tastes limish. Drink quickly.
TADA!
Oh and here’s a super cool animation i found on Youtube:
I’m attacking blender outside of the tutorials, and trying to get good at each aspect as i need it. I’m working toward a short film, the working title of which is ‘Black and White’. I’ll post more about that later. But i’m practicing sculpting now, and this is the first result of the effort:
Mr. Old Man. Hope i can turn out to be like him.
Not much, but i want to track my progress as i go. Those eyes are sorta creepy looking. But no matter. More in the future. When i get a sculptĀ i like i’m onto rigging, skinning, and animating.
I’m trying to work on projects and learning the skills i need as i go. It’s a lot more motivating.
