When CGCookie announce the upgrade to their site and added a new ‘lifetime’ membership I was definitely going to purchasse this and make it my Birthday present and then Andrew Price announced his new product “The Architecture Academy”. What to do now? I still have about 6 months on my current subscription for CGCookie so should I do The Architecture Academy and wait to upgrade my subscription or do I do both? I’m sure you are well aware of CGCookie but Andrew’s new product you may not have heard about yet. If you have not check out his “Complete Introduction to Architecture” video here:
I had very little time to play with the new tools I learned watching the new course offered at CGCookie. I had to watch closely to see how he was adjusting the strength and radius of the tool and finally figured that one out plus the other tools he was using. Inflate/Deflate rather than clay strips and smooth, Inflate and smooth does a really nice job of smoothing the mesh. Time and practice is what this is going to take as you can see in this new photo. I now have a little old man pilot 🙂 I’ll take care of the mouth when I get home.
After a nice weekend of rest I have started the sculpting process. I am quite sure this will take some time because I keep forgetting where exactly I am at during this process and which keys to press at what time. I have started over multiple times but the process is started. I found out quickly before you start the sculpting process and ‘before’ you apply all the modifiers you better make sure there are no holes in your mesh. Specifically make sure you do not have extra verts along the center-line of the model. If you do you will instantly create a hole in your mesh when you touch this area with dynamic topology enabled. Because I had to start over a couple times it is embedded in my brain now 🙂
New site covering miscellaneous activities including my favorite activity: Blender
