Polybook - Old Dog
Well... it's been a long inconsistent time for me hooking up with CGCookie and 3D anything. That's come to a close. Having gotten through hunting season here, I've made a drastic decision which should help spur along 3D learning, creativity and hopefully in time worthwhile posts. I've bit the bullet, and after 12 years, have closed down the motel for good - so no more disturbances and no more excuses to not move forward with this venture.
Goals... yup (some are doable and some are flitting pipe dreams). Hoping to get through an hour of tuts per day (learning flows or otherwise) and post assignments. I also have a number of projects that are running around in my mind. A couple are just fun little shorts. A couple are not so short, but should prove to be fun nonetheless. It's all fun, right? So right now, it's been penciling out scenes and assets, but thus I'm afraid I get ahead of myself. First, I NEED to learn this craft - hence why I shut the motel down and will be now concentrating solely on this. All I can say is thank god for CGCookie.
Let the learning begin...
p.s. still in 2.79

pffsfs You are off to a great start over. Good luck!
-
pffsfs Even if you did lose some progress, it sounds like now you will be able to dedicate more time to modeling, so you'll catch up in no time =] Don't get too discouraged; you'll get there.
Does that last one have a mustache guard?
-
pffsfs Good practice for the first day, you'll be back on track in no time 😊👍🏻
-
pffsfs nice work so far the last one is funny. I see a bat symbol onto it. Is that for the upper lip? Maybe for kids?
-
pffsfs Hey, at least you know about snapping now =] And yeah, the link works. Nice house. Could use a ground plane, though, to help it not look like it's floating through space. Otherwise, good work!

ben-reynolds I reallly isn't too bad, the differences aren't as extreme as most people think. You get used to it pretty quick and then you never want to go back! 😬
pffsfs Glad you enjoyed my Polybook and found it useful! 😊 I agree about the CG Cookie community, they are the best 😎
-
@pffsfs Nice work! The iris is kind of poking through the bottom, but that's a small fixable thing.
-
pffsfs That whole course had a huge positive impact on my skills. By the time you're done with that course you'll have a solid idea on how to model pretty much any inanimate object.
Keep pushing through!

pffsfs don't get discouraged, 3D comes with a lot of challenges and everyone gets stuck at some point. If you find today is equally frustrating I would recommend getting away from this exercise for a couple of days (do something from another course or your own project) and then get back to it with fresh eyes. Often this helps tremendously! Keep at it and you'll get there 😊

pffsfs Hey, that's a pretty good start on that house! Take a break, tackle this again with fresh eyes.
The emojis are accessible if you right click in the text bar and "Emoji" is at the top of the menu for me. That should bring up the emoji menu. 👍
And yes, if you create a long post there is no way to scroll back up. It's annoying, but CGCookie only has 1 web dev. You can report it if you want so they're aware, but it'll probably be a low priority fix.

pffsfs good work the house looks good. Keep this up ;)
