Thanks, I’m linking a lot of posts into this thread to bring it up to date.

The water is a simple plane with some displacement modifiers.

Challenge 32 from Complete Blender Creator (v2.8 Remaster)
17-ba-cbc Adding New Scenes_

for this challenge, I started out by copying and pasting the info from my animation file into a new scene within the main “Bowling Scene” File. Once I had that done, I renamed the two scenes “Default” and “Animation” then created a 3rd scene for the actual challenge assignment and named it “Ball Strikes Pins”.

So the last couple days I’ve been working on a ship model. Haven’t made it too far as I got to a point where I was trying to do a High poly version of the hull in order to get a proper normal map and realized the dimensions were off. Needless to say, that sent me down a couple of different rabbit trails only to realize that the published specs don’t match the description.

After a bit of fiddling about, I came up with this for a deck plan

That, of course, led to a day and a half of trying to get the shape of the ship right.

Which do you think looks better?

This model is inspired by the description of an Explorer Class Scout found in Nathan Lowell’s ‘Smuggler’s Tales from the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper’.

Started the Character Creator Course today and felt motivated for the 8th challenge so I did this

6-si-bcc

Capricas_Kirito · March 6, 2019, 3:58pm

for 8-si-bcc I did this simple animation. It took me longer than I would have liked to set it up, mainly due to creating/importing materials, and looked like crud in the Eevee engine so I rendered it in cycles overnight.

While reflecting on my day (I do that often) I realized it looked like crud in Eevee cause I forgot to turn on a bunch of settings (still don’t understand what all the hype about more fraking clicking on boxes is all about) and came back this morning and rendered it with Eevee.
