3Daily - Elm

Elm

This may fail completely as I've never tried something like this. But I hope 3Daily will motivate me to finish overdue work and improve a lot faster! Not sure if everyday will happen, but maybe every other day until speed increases.
Work coming soon. 
Sculpts, Models, whatever needs to get done.
Would like to look back on this at the end of the year and laugh at how clueless I was about modeling.

You can do it! its hard but thats the point if you have time to poop everyday you can spend 5min a day to model a cup lol. I believe in you

Elm

Day 5 
Not amazing, but a late night/early morning quick one. Baby Rabbit to go with the mother I'm working on.

Elm

Day 8 (oops) 
Low Poly Pram for said baby rabbit
Realising I'm not a modeller

Elm

Day 9
Wasn't started today, but something Id like to call 'finished' for now and What I spent most of my day on. Need to move on to retopology and texturing. Though I acknowledge some parts are a little rough.

Elm

Day 11 + 12 
Welp! Haven't been posting, because I was stuck on retopology. I managed to retop the entire portrait, but realise I've done the process of hair backwards, so ended up laying down several planes and cubes to bake the sculpted hair onto. Not sure if it'll even work. 

Elm

Welp my days were spent on baking, texturing and retopology. Still not too great at any of them.
Day 15

Day 16
Baking Portrait and finished retopology

Day 17 - Baking

Day 18

Day 22
@Fortereal
Yes aha, it was a bad idea to do it like that, and didn't work out great. I'll have to try again another time.

 Keep forgetting to post here. 
Here's how the bunny went this week put together and textured. 


Also with texturing that portrait

some roughness


beautiful

Nice work! Keep it up! 

Elm

Day 24
Couldn't think of anything to model before bed. So here's some rocks. Need to pick up a new project. 


Will probably move onto foliage or props. 

Elm

Welp, so what happened was. I went back to school, and got quite busy doing concept and 2D related things. I missed a whole month! But I figured I won't show my 2D things since this is 3daily not 2daily.

So I've got a month worth of things to catch up with! Hopefully the busy 3D project I've got right now will help me get to 365 worth of updates. So without much ado, here's a shameful comeback.

The current project is inspired by Firewatch.
So I will be posting very many rocks and foliage from here on out.

Day 25 - Rock Cluster A High Poly Sculpt

#33 Rock Cluster I

Elm

#34 Root C


Soon, I will have to retop, and texture all of these.

Elm

#35 Not very great, but quick trap thing.

Elm

#36 Manage to try out some grass for our project. They didn't take long so I dont think i'll be cheeky and count them all seperately. 


How the blockouts look in the game as of now without the bakes. I'm not responsible for the hard surface modelling or lighting. Leaves are placeholder! They will be actual tree shapes soon.

CrazyYuan

Looking quite nice so far . I also like the trap thing very much, good job on sculpting there!

Elm

This is quickly becoming 3Dmonthly. 
#37 Tree G 
The trees in our scenes, need normals and real foliage, so that's what I've been up to. 

Elm

#38 The foliage for Tree B + Baked Normals

Elm

#39 
Today I have Tree D

Elm

#40 Rock A Textured


#41 Rock B Textured

Elm

#42 Rock C Textured

Elm

#43 A Fern, own textures. Will be coloured with a shader


#44 Textured Rock Cluster A, trying to go for a stylised... flat highlight look 

#45 Shrub 02
Doesn't really seem right to me.. Still need to get used to laying down planes. 


#46 Rock Cluster C - Textured 

Elm

#47 Rock Cluster E 


#48 Rock Cluster F Textured 


#49 Rock Cluster H Textured 


#50 Rock Cluster I Textured 


I feel as though I won't be able to create enough assets to make 365, or atleast work in 3D 365 times. 

Elm

#52 Rock Cluster G - really hope this is like my last rock forever. 

Elm

#53 Tree A with normals and foliage

Elm

So that's the trees done
#54, 55, 56

2 more trees and a baked log. Probably doesn't look great to anyone else, but this was all a major learning experience. Although what I have learnt is to just use speedtree next time. 

Spent a good portion of the day texturing everything in this picture. Very quick rough ugly textures. May touch them up before I share.

Elm

#57 Didn't share the texture work i did over the past few days but hopefully this is a nice substitute. For our second year project, we've made a trailer and all the organic assets I made can be seen here in all their lit glory.  I should make a separate thread for this.. in a moment. 

Team of 4 students over 3 months. 

Aerial_Knight

awesome work!

Elm

Very minimal stuff aha. But coming back to the forest project. Made some quick mushroom bases, that I can take into Zbrush in a bit.

oh this is interesting  

Elm

Didn't really use the Mushrooms in the next version, but I did end up sculpting them after!
