This is the Blender collaboration 2022, week 36 challenge. Don’t be afraid to join, a lot of us are beginners. This is all to practice, have fun, learn, and get together.
This week’s subject is “Steam locomotive”.
A steam locomotive is a locomotive that provides the force to move itself and other vehicles by means of the expansion of steam. It is fuelled by burning combustible material to heat water in the locomotive’s boiler to the point when it becomes gaseous and its volume increases 1,700 times.
The rules are simple. 1 subject, 1 entry, 1 week.
You create whatever object or scene or whatever you can think of that has something to do with the subject. It can be as simple or complicated as you want, all entries are welcome!
Post your picture here in this thread. And at the end of the week, we start to vote. And if you are the winner, you may choose the next subject and win a unique badge.
Although I see dozens errors just looking at it, this steam locomotive was my first “real” project after (I guess) 6 learning sections with Mikey, some tutorials from outside sources and many hours spent playing with Blender. I know it is useless, almost completely created from n-gons and probably with hundreds of overlapping issues (since I didn’t know about snapping tool back then), but still I was proud of it, and I still kind of am.
i have been looking throught the hall of fame, and i realised that i have NO idea how any of it is made. the node thingies in shading? the only thing i can do with them is add an enviromental background.
Not remotely going to be done for the collab, or this year probably knowing me.
Thought I would do a ‘simple’ one the first one.
I found this great reference from a model engineer site. Ten or more pages of measuered drawings. Ok, I did not do any checking that it is roughly right but odds are such a person would have known what he was about. Down to the last bracket!
So I had to take it on, progress is slow, but fun trying to get it all right.
Looks awesom!
I hope that I get mine ready in time, then we can combine the cheer power of imagination → no I have not the same idea as you with the “wooden toy locomotiv” dont worry , when it’s done it should be something like a cardboard mixed with normal objects you could finde in your home :3
