Ok, so not too sure about how cyber this punk is or anything but I did learn an awful lot about how much I don’t know, hahahaha!

What happened with or is the dark gray bottom halve?

Also, this is the “Antique” collab, not the Cyber punk.

Oops! sorry, wrong reply… Can I delete it and repost it in the right place or should I just leave it and do better next time?

Do you mean the foreground? It’s out of the light, I suppose. I now also notice a little triangle in the bottom right hand corner. Much room for improvement.

LoL.
I was thinking on old furnitures when I was thinking about the theme. But it makes sense anyways.

That was my first thought as well, as I have a few pieces of antique furniture, as well as odds and ends placed on some of the antique furniture that can be designated as antique as well, though I’m not sure exactly how old they are. :wink:

I’m celebrating! I finally manage to successfully mirror an object. I know, I know, it’s been explained and seems obvious, but I’m happy anyway. I really need to get back to the courses, but just having so much fun. The incomplete, mirrored item, is from a wedding either in 1880 or in 1907.

I started this one on a strange order.
I started from the photoshop even before opening blender! I wanted to make sure I still knew how to use it and get the correct texture. If I couldn’t I’d change the subject.

Luckly I was able to get close enough to what I wanted:

Curiosity, some old clocks use the IIII instead IV for the number 4:

Having fun is the important bit! :grin:
Where do the specific dates come from? Or rather why one or the other? Just curious :wink:

I thought clocks and watches with roman numerals had IIII instead of IV so that, as the last explanation says, there would be four of each. Four I’s four V’s and four X’s. I like all the other possible ‘reasons’, but I still believe it’s a matter of aesthetics or consistency or balance. Interesting read.

Each explanation I read said something different… It’s hard to believe in any of those =/

These theories about why the IIII instead of the IV remind me of a scene in a film (probably set in some distant future) where an archeologist digs up a small round, red and white metal something. They all gather around, carefully looking at it, discussing it, and eventually agree that it must have been a religious artifact … it was a coca cola bottle cap.

I was searching for low poly mummies on Google for inspiration and the search threw this:

I said mummy google, not mommy! :rofl:

There were two weddings in the family related to silverware. This item is from either Madeleine and Leonard in 1880 or from Henriette and Jean-Marie in 1907.

Antiquity ----------> Antique >Vintage >Retro.
Pre Middle ages>100+ ------>50+ ---- > recent.

Ok, I expect we do not actually care about the supposed definition for collab purposes. :grin:
