End of Class

The wine glass project is the last project for the class... I am thrilled with how well you both were able to dig in and embrace the work with great results!  Look how many projects you completed and how professional they look...

I will post the grades on Sunday, which is the deadline the registrar has set and will close the grading portal after that....

Thanks for being in this class!

Final projects

Hello!

I just wanted to know if there are any other projects that need to be completed that aren't on the list.  The last one listed is the wine glass and the only other one I wasn't able to complete was project #18 because the link brings you to project #20.  Thanks!

Wine Glass

This project was really fun.  Mostly because drinking wine has become an occupation for me over the years lol 😅😅😅 The first glass I made I messed up the stem somehow.  It looks pinched in two places.   I went back for the second time and chose a different glass and that one spun better than the first.  By the time I tried for a third time, I was able to get the glass looking like it should.  I think I rushed mapping out the points in the beginning and went much slower on the last one.

Radial Sculpture - AP

I went off on my own a bit after watching the video for this one! Had fun with the form and lighting - really liked the shadows the light and shapes created. This project did take more time than I thought to render..

Geodesic Dome

This project was fun but I got lost somewhere in the tutorial and my dome wasn't looking like the example in the video.  I kept changing the materials around but ultimately had to start over from step 1 and build it back up.  Not sure what I missed but I managed to get it looking like it should on the second time around.  I played around with the materials and made a couple of domes that look like Daenery's dragon eggs from Game of Thrones (couldn't resist lol 😅😅)

Radial Sculpture

This was another simple but interesting project to complete.  I always struggle a little with the box tool when selecting faces or vertices but I got the hang of it after a couple of tries.  I tried it out with a couple different textures and of course the glass is still my favorite one to use. 😎

Cup and Cloth - AP

Like Nneka, I was surprised at how quickly this project came together. I liked the video, and picked up a few new Blender tricks while watching it.

Nested Cubes - AP

I loved this project - the final outcome is one of my favorites. I opted to not choose smooth shading for the 2nd version and I really like the modern edges.

Glass Bowl/Cloth Napkin

The tutorial was really easy to follow and the project came together quite quickly.  The only tricky part is positioning the cloth in a way that it will drape in a nice dramatic way over the bowl.

Nested Cubes

This project was really easy to put together and really cool to look at.  I tried doing the array with other shapes and materials to see what I could come up with.

Vertical Grid

With the duplicate function, this comes together very quickly like the other grid projects.  I enjoyed having the off centered planes inside the cubes to give it a more textured look.  It was also nice to see the effects of the spotlight shining through it and onto the plane.  I enjoy turning some of the objects into glass figures because it reminds me of my old lego sets. 😅😅  Very fun and cool project!

Vertical Grid - AP

Fun project! Once I started playing with the colors, it reminded me of a honeycomb, which influenced the placement of planes and cubes in my 2nd attempt  :) What I hadn't realized until I began rendering is that one of the planes was not centered in the cube.

Quick Question about some assignments

Hello Professor Nevins!

I was looking through the project list and numbers 15-17 and 19 we have already done.  Should we redo these projects a second time?  Also, project #18's video link routes to the video for project #20.  Can you repost the correct link?  I went ahead and checked out the other video links for the rest of the listed projects and those are fine. Thanks!

Cup

The first time I tried to do this following the tutorial was successful. However, when I went back to create more cups with alternative dimensions I ended up with cups that had a million vertices which made it impossible to add loop cuts and a handle.  After about 5 times of starting all over I finally figured out what I did wrong.  When I applied the subdivision modifier, I clicked on apply after changing the views and render to 3.  When I didn't click apply and continued on, I didn't have the vertices problem.  Not sure why that made a difference but none the less I had fun once I got the hang of it!

Cup - AP

I was surprised at how easy it was to create the mug, and the tutorial was great.. I liked using the point light, something new to play around with..  Cheers! :)
