Caprica_Kirito's Showcase Thread 🖖

[Capricas_Kirito]

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]

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.

Really cool, the lighting is amazing. I like the motion blur in Eevee more but I prefer the reflections in Cycles

and the finall challenge for BCC Section 1 is:

follow the bouncing ball…

My Prototype human eye. I couldn’t get the material for the cornea to be transparent so it’s still lacking a bit of realism.

EDIT
Turns out I’ve been fouled by Eevee yet again… I was able to render the cornea just fine in Cycles.

Thank you Jada

Finished up the animations for Blender Character Creator Sec 2 Lesson 41 this morning and made these renders…

Ticking Eyes

Googlie Eyes

Apperently, they got together in Pinicle while I wasn’t looking and this was waiting for me when I got back…

[Capricas_Kirito]

Was just checking new posts on the forum and came across @mayoco’s bookstore. Seeing that reminded me of this which I did a while back…

[Capricas_Kirito]

For my BCC Section 2 End of Section Challenge I made the following three Animations.

[Capricas_Kirito]

Complete Blender Creator (v2.8)
Section 4 - Chess Scene

For this section of the course I decided I wanted to do something different than I did before shown here

Guess I’m doing a more ‘Traditional’ board this time . So, to start out I decided to go with a varnished plywood board…

7_cp_cbc The Bevel Modifier
for this lesson I too my earlier work shown here and added just a bit of detail

Weell… I had to back up and get rid of the depressions at the bottom of the base as they were creating havoc with my ability to UV Unwrap for the texture. In addition, I’ve potentially descovered a problem with the texture itself as it’s not rendering properly on the pawn.

guess I’m gonna have to try and figure out a fix

[Capricas_Kirito]

Weeell, back to Animation…

8_cd_bcc Quick Textures
for this one, I made two new models and then grabbed one from my first time the Complete Blender Creator course for the third…

Ironically, while the queen took the most time to complete, it was the die-6 that was the hardest to texture!

[Capricas_Kirito]

Texture for my block person. I think it could certainly be improved but, I’m honestly surprised by how well I was able to draw with my graphics tablet.
