    This was such a fun project. Ive used the planet in several projects. I was thrilled to make my first background in space Thanks to tthis tutorial: https://cgcookie.com/tutorial/creating-a-procedural-space-shader-blender-generate-billions-of-stars

    Tried my hand at modeling a Triceratop, I've been playing around on my own here. Having trouble taking this guy into sculpt mode. Blender keeps crashing on me. 

    A quick render with the sub surf.  When I tried to apply it for sculpting I was done. So guess you can say I'm done one this one.

  • Karen Trevino(ketre) replied

    I modeled this 1st and forgot to save and lost his arms and legs. Poor thing was having to scoot on his butt....hahaha...sigh. I know save save save!!!

    Here is the next attempt to add the arms and legs saving often.

    Here's my snowman 

    I have been so scattered with my mom in the hospital, and then a skilled nursing facility.  

    The virus killed 90% of her frontal lobe. Good news tho she will be coming home. But, she 

    will need to be constantly observed as her brain functions are still finding Neural pathways 

    for her to be able to think properly. At one point she was not able to move or even open her eyes. 

    I got to see her yesterday, to put my arms around her and hug her was the most wonderful feeling.

    I'd like to thank those of you who prayed.  I won't be able to be around that much but I will not give up 

    on continuing to learn.

    Great work, Karen👍😀! I especially like the scarf pattern and the extra work you did by modeling an environment for the snowman and animating your scene 👍! Best wishes and prayers for you and your mother😊! I'm looking forward to hear from you again and to see your next works 😀!

    Wow , nice work Karen and glad to see you back here. Sounds like your Mom and your family have gone through a terrible ordeal and I hope she can get home soon and recover well. Best wishes from Scotland!

    I love Syfy and I decided to make this without a Tutorial. Not all that fancy but I sure had fun figuring things out.

  • Karen Trevino(ketre) replied

    I joined a contest just for the experience and fun and I was so surprised to find out I won. The topic was "Speed"  I've got 2 images,

    1st one is "Speed"

    2nd one is "Warped Speed"

  • Shawn Blanch(blanchsb) replied

    Thank you all I've been having a blast with the competitions. They are pushing me to use the skills I've learned.


    Next entry is another spaceship, with this one I had in mind an organic ship that was part of the alien that's flying it.... nope the alien isn't peaking out the window this time. lol
