Rethinked whole thing and decided to go with the chest afterall. and if i have time more i'll do bigger scene, keeping things simple on this after havin a talk with a good friend and actually looking my calendar. :)
Week 1 Homework Submission
not sure if i should have kept the faceted looks on the handles and round pieces, but decided to smooth them out nevertheless. onto texturing. :)
and bonus, the single objects that are instanced across
Week 2 Homework Submission
Still workin on the extra pieces for final scene, but finished the chest painting and uv. did bit of testing on shading already
Week 3 Homework Submission

Thanks Kent, you know talked to a friend of this idea for this what i was planning and he brought me back to ground, and rightly so, i do have over tendency to scope creep my projects. so decided that if i really want to focus something i should downscale drastically and do more only if i see i have time. and since you said the chest was ok from the course, i decided to start on that and give it my own twist.
so first days work sofar. 2 planks need to be detailed on the lid and all the metallic parts needs denting.
its good to have friends that can tell you straight away that you should rethink. :D
louhikarme really great chest design! Looks very unique. What does scope creep mean?
@fide for example you have an idea that you want to model one thing. then you start adding in lines like "it needs to have this also, and this and this" and soon you have loads of things that you need to model that are unique modeling wise, so the idea itself that could have hold in its own, now had bloat of stuff that is not needed. and this wouldn't be a problem if you have half a year to finish everything.
but when you have this kind of course where you have set goals, and time is limited due dayjob, then its best keep things simple as possible. hope this helps :)
louhikarme Thanks for the explanation :) I tend to do this as well sometimes :/
"Scope creep" - I relate to that term 👌
louhikarme Your chest is fantastic. Really like the unique take and quality you're achieving. I expect no less for you, sir :)
@fide @theluthier i think its my number one weakness that i need to be more aware of. i really need to start telling myself to keep it simple stupid. :D Thanks!
dieterweireldt silentheart00 cruento Thank you! :)
@theluthier updated the main post on the thread for week1 submission. onto texturing! :)
louhikarme nice chest! The details look great, and I love the handle on the lid to open it. I think you are indeed ready for texturing :-D
louhikarme Looks great Kaj! Wasn't it fun to do a completely different style than what your used to?
louhikarme This is an exquisite result of the treasure chest project. The details are truly some visual candy. All of it is 💯 but the hardware detail is glorious. Really great work, Kaj. A+ in my book. Cannot wait to see this thing textured 🤩
@theluthier thank you! will have something ready for next homework for sure. still battling on making a bigger scene or not. i prolly keep it simple though since i have another project aswell that i need to finish and that one is beast to unwrap compared to this chest. :)
