Addictgamer Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Well, I have taken up 3d modeling to waste my time... here's my first creation, mainly just to explore blender. That one looks like some kind of weird creature to me. Has two eyes, a cube bottom, and 2 arms. This was caused by exploring. Look pretty weird to see a monkey popping out of a cylinder. A TV on the moon. I've improved, followed a tutorial. Written for a old version of blender, which made the process much harder. I hope to improve soon. Maybe, a month or two... Will probably add more as I work on them. Which is when I have nothing better to do :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrem Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Um... Looks like a blob to me. Good luck with your modelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addictgamer Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 It is a blob of meshes. Just happened to look like a figure when I rendered the scene and fiddled with the camera and lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymouse Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 It is a blob of meshes. Just happened to look like a figure when I rendered the scene and fiddled with the camera and lighting. Did you add a NURBS sphere? NURBS is hard to work with, it's better to use a UVsphere (Add>Mesh>UVsphere) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addictgamer Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 No. I added who knows what, but was able to recreate it a couple times to make this weird shape. Looks sorta like a pacman with arms and a cube bottom. And a mouth that is a shiny indent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow322 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Strange, very strange. So how many people are on RRU that know how to use 3D programs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addictgamer Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 *Not me* Well, there's quiet a few here, I'm sure. Anyway, working on making a car for the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymouse Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Cirevam and Masterchief are the only ones of whom I know to be proficient (Wait, was that correct grammar? ). Addict, good luck with the car. You know how to use editmode right? (Oh, and sadly the one thing the blender tutorials don't cover very well is modelling, which is the hardest part ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addictgamer Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 I know, the tutorials in general are low quality in my opinion. I'm just better off trying everything for myself. Modeling eh... And, ya, edit mode I know. But I don't know how to use textures and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, if your model isn't perfect, you have the texture pretty much perfect and you then make some tweaks to the model, you have to fix up the texture too, and that can be quite annoying... I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addictgamer Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 I found out. Anyway, the ui is now a snap! And modelling is actually fun! Well, I'm using a tutorial and adding some touches to make a Christmas card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle98 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Oh yeah, right, that Christmas card. Good luck with that (and the snowman). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEPICtrainrider Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 That TV on the moon, looks more like a picture on the moon. Sorry, but it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addictgamer Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Ya, the frame didn't render for some reason. I still didn't figure out why though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEPICtrainrider Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Ya, the frame didn't render for some reason. I still didn't figure out why though. And (if you don't mind me asking) what's going on the Christmas card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addictgamer Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Idk yet, but here's my idea so far. Snow and trees, some instruments *hard to do...*, a band stand, and...text... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Eagle's post I thought you were going to make a snow man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addictgamer Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Oh, no, I already did. Not that bad actually. Used a tutorial to make a snowman and tress scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockmoddeR Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 All you models are really good. I took the snowman tutorial, and I'm making my own now. It looks a lot better, and has parts other that 2 eyes and a nose. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addictgamer Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 :) Goodluck with it. As my blog says, I'm working on a 3D dwarf fortress project for one of my succession games. I hate modelling from scratch, especially since all the tutorials I have found so far are outdated. I need you honest opinion on how it's looking right now: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
