Sketchbook: ColoradoCaleb

ColoradoCaleb

Just started modeling earlier this year(started with very limited prior OpenSCAD experience, mostly small electronic enclosures and mechanical parts for 3D printing/rapid prototyping), no modeling experience besides headdesking in Blender and barely figuring out how to make a cube. I've been working on a project a week for school (The Digital Animation & Visual Effects School), and thought this might be a good way to introduce myself. I'm open to critique on my work, always room for improving.

Week one: a model based off the 22WT concept art by Junji Okubo



Week two: a model of a SCAR-H rifle



Week three: A SOO 6060 train





Some renders Using Maya(project requirement)



Week 7's project at the DAVE School, I'll try to get the previous projects up sometime this week.

All quad mesh, up for input. Keep in mind, struggled to model a LEGO in Modo prior to starting this program.

One of this weeks projects, todays progress so far

The model was given to us for a class project (http://crash-3d.com/glock19/), we are texturing it in Unreal 4

Mellon3D

Looks cool!
Did you have time to check their newest build? 4.5
They added special new map for testing assets

You should defenetly check it out

ColoradoCaleb

Thank you Mellon! I saw that this morning! some really sweet stuff for sure. We aren't going to use it in class, but as soon as I get approved for this https://www.unrealengine.com/blog/unreal-engine-4-free-for-students-through-github I'll be burning up my puny gtx-285 in no time

Today's Progress. Still need to do the bullet and get rid of the cloudiness/sharpen up the magazine

Todays Progress, just about done with the Glock and started the Browning

Mellon3D

Love the handle, but there is something wrong with flashlight(or whatever it is) it`s too dark
It could be for differnt reasons, did you use this values for your textures

Tonights overnight project, building out a high poly to do a low poly bake for texturing practice.



and reference

ColoradoCaleb

And here's the progress, we had a 500 poly limit for the monitor case and keyboard for our low poly build.

Started to do a side project by Andres Maquinitas Planning on using making realistic textures for it.

All the work from the last 3 weeks:

This weeks one week project, fun stuff. Made a little mountain biking trail diorama.

Last weeks project was our first full character texturing project. Did the high poly, low poly, baking, and all maps based on concepts provided by the school. Roughness map used in place of spec so it looks a tad glossy.
