what are you working on at the moment? i'm making a mortar/launcher for a New Vegas mod just learned how to use Substance Painter so i want to try my hand at some hard surface modelling + baking highpoly models into textures still on the design phase tho

ive been in and out of 3D art production for quite a while now i want to get a little more serious and consistent with 3D art as a hobby
ive been in "near completion" stage of this turbocharger for over a month now lol

SO COOL!!! how long do you think it took to make so far?

Pedestrian

vuilhund thanks lol.

how long

What do you mean? do you mean from beginner level to this or or just doing the project in general? For me it took disappointingly long on both fronts mostly due to my inability to concentrate on anything ;_; the project took me 6+months and its not even done.

WOW. I have no words.

sweet thread.
I havent done any modeling as of recently but I have dablled in blender modelling myself though just for fun. Here is one of my projects i started somewhere in 2019.
SInce I have studied engineering I also have dabbled in CAD with solidworks. I do plan on getting a cracked version of solidworks and just doing some modeling since i feel like doing it.

Pedestrian thats a nice model
blender? or actual CAD?

Thanks. Its fully blender. Im kinda intimidated by CADs and i heard cad to blender workflow is kind of a pain in the butt but i find them attractive in a sense that you dont have to mess with polygons at all to get the desired shape/shading

Pedestrian well both have their pros and cons
CAD is very precise since you work with numbers and geometric shapes instead of just stretching polygons.
certain shapes are way harder to make in CAD

I discovered this awesome channel on blender a couple of months ago and kinda want to shill it. He is very thorough and shares lots of fundamental knowledge about rendering in blender and other stuff. He studies and explains precisely and exactly how certain blender features/functionality works and shared his methods on modelling/rendering that ive found really useful. This is very quinine among all 3d video content i've ever seen really esp in blender space where most videos are just clickbait that are completely useless for anyone who is not a complete beginner.

Also for those who are confused about colors and color science related topics ive started reading this book
Color: An Introduction to Practice and Principles - https://libgen.rs/book/index.php?md5=6D71757E69340D974BE8B36839CFA4A3
Its a really short but so far very good book on color science i think its perfect for those who want to get some but not too detailed info about how colors work exactly in real life without too many prerequisites.

Pedestrian also btw i havent touched blender ever since ive posted that lol. my life sucks

I rarely make 3D models but i make the final scenery on Blender. Here's a few examples:

In the first image I did use 3D assets that I made. It's the Suwako hat, the bridge, the lake and the map's terrain. I guess the minecraft maps also count since I made the map itself.

I really like the second and third ones a lot! The mix of pixel and 3d is really cool as well as the expressions. Great work!

Aero Thank you!

Does scene building in SFM/GMOD count as 3D art, or is it exclusively for original 3D models? I tried learning 3D modeling on blender earlier this year, but I got lazy. The only time I used blender was to re-align a physics smd of a gun model for my gmod addon.
