@Thomas4peyton AHA! Another Blender user! How it’s going bro!

2020-08-16 17:44:09 UTC  

It’s going good @ChristianChicken1089! Only 2 1/2+ years of suffering from lack of motivation! ^^

2020-08-16 17:47:16 UTC  

I used blender like a year or two ago and I made like two things and I haven’t used it since lol. My profile pic was made in blender though

2020-08-16 18:09:29 UTC  

the donut tutorial, lol

2020-08-16 18:11:12 UTC  

Yeah, I did the donut tutorial before I knew how to use blender well. Couldn’t make the donut. But I got the cup! I should remake this sometime...

I suffer from a severe case of LOM (Lack of motivation), Lol. So I hardly get anything done either.

2020-08-16 18:15:05 UTC  

i feel the vibe, i really do

2020-08-16 18:16:18 UTC  

I feel that. Also when I did the tutorial I followed each stop extremely close and I didn’t really allow myself to actually learn the program, that was a bit annoying

2020-08-16 18:21:02 UTC  

I watched about a dozen tutorials and didn't follow them, just gleaned the useful keybinds/methodology/technique

2020-08-16 18:21:45 UTC  

Then I practiced said keybinds and their uses for two weeks to get my muscle memory down before I created my first model. x3

2020-08-16 18:23:46 UTC  

I feel that, dude...

2020-08-16 18:24:49 UTC  

Im sure i could be far better if i had modeled 3-4 times every week or so, but its hard to keep up a schedule of modeling and continued practice.

2020-08-16 18:25:01 UTC  

I started Blender and I need to keep watching the tutorials over and over because I keep forgetting how to to things. I eventually gave up.

2020-08-16 18:26:17 UTC  

Honestly, i should start a bootleg tutorial series on the uber basics of what is useful.

2020-08-16 18:27:18 UTC  

Stick to the grid at all costs, Orthographic view is your friend, find ample references or diagrams, Control + B is godly helpful, etc..

2020-08-16 18:29:58 UTC  

*Practice is everything*

2020-08-16 19:09:25 UTC  

Yeah, I am about to start working on an animated short but modeling is really difficult. I’m just gonna start practicing every day I guess.

2020-08-16 19:10:00 UTC  

I’ve considered doing YouTube tutorials for blender but I’m not good enough, yet.

2020-08-16 19:10:16 UTC  

If you do some, id definitely sub to ya

2020-08-16 19:11:53 UTC  

This is my best model so far

2020-08-16 19:12:26 UTC  

Looks cool

2020-08-16 19:12:55 UTC  

@Thomas4peyton I would def watch a tutorial like that

2020-08-16 19:13:48 UTC  

Well, I could even just do a livestream series, because I’m really not proficient enough at editing to save myself. XD

2020-08-16 19:14:24 UTC  

Nice car, lol. Smooth curves and organically are my bane of existence, I’m no good at them.

2020-08-16 19:14:34 UTC  

Man, wish I could make something like that.

2020-08-16 19:15:13 UTC  

I’d make my car in Gran Turismo 2 style.

2020-08-16 19:35:55 UTC  

That looks *slightly* better. I was never much for lighting setups.. x3

2020-08-16 19:47:02 UTC  

@Thomas4peyton Tutorials really don’t require much editing. Just a few cuts maybe. Idk maybe I could edit it for you if you really wanted?

2020-08-16 19:47:54 UTC  

Perhaps, if i ever find time to do a tutorial.

2020-08-16 19:48:12 UTC  

Yeah, It’s a very time consuming thing.

2020-08-16 19:48:31 UTC  

But, AMAZING train btw!

2020-08-16 19:52:07 UTC  

Yeah, it’s really cool!

2020-08-16 19:52:12 UTC  

thanks, I actually just sent it off to my boss to get the cab interior details done, then textures, animations, and eventual implementation into the game we are workin' on.

2020-08-16 19:53:18 UTC  

GAME?!?! BOSS?!?!

2020-08-16 19:53:58 UTC  

This is going to be in a game?!?!

2020-08-16 19:54:11 UTC  

Way past cool!

2020-08-16 19:57:46 UTC  

Yea, its a work in progress game. The main theme/focus is 3' narrow gauge logging/mining railroads in the western US, starting roughly in the year 1895.

2020-08-16 19:58:37 UTC  

so this locomotive will probably be second-hand by the time the game takes place, considering the IRL prototype(s) were built in the year 1880/1
