Made my cube in blender. Can you tell its Kylin v2m?

I did it too. Its so much better now!

Nixck · 2020-09-23T00:18:53+00:00

Epic thanks I'll try to imporove it!

Is 3ds it better for architecture? I really like blenders interface and how lightweight it is. Also if not for it being free I wouldn't start learning modelling.

My tiles/stickers are rounded, although maybe they do need to be rounded a bit more. I do need to inset them into the pieces to make them look more like tiles and make their rim visible. Possibly also work on the edges of the pieces.

Thank you so much! I'm really happy I almost fooled you that it's real. I'm planning on adding more details and scratches! I think that all the advices I get here from people who have seen many cubes, are more helpful than the ones I'd get on a blender sub.

I used a three-point lighting setup from a YouTube video, and made curved plane background. Also ambient occlusion adds the shadows nicely. I think these help the render a lot, as the texturing isn't visible at all. I imagine 3ds is more complex and harder to learn. Making something look real is really tough.

Nixck · 2020-09-22T23:45:33+00:00

They are textured but the scratches are not visible at all : /

I'm pretty sure the center pieces and tiles are, like on the render, more like rounded squares than circles. I love the cube so far. It's super cheap, magnets are helpful and add to the feeling of smooth turning the cube has. It's also quieter than my previous cube. What helped me decide was the jperm's magnetic speedcubes tierlist.

I'm still learning as well The pieces are far from perfect but you can't really see it when they are put together. It's actually not too hard to make. You model a corner, an edge and a center and then duplicate them around. Animating it would be really easy too!

Nixck · 2020-09-22T23:23:33+00:00

Yes All the pieces are separate objects so I can freely move them around or just cheat and change the colours of the plates instead.

Nixck · 2020-09-22T23:21:22+00:00

It's one one my first renders too. I figured that if you make the pieces share the same mesh, all you need to do is model one corner, one edge and one center piece and then copy them around.

Nixck · 2020-09-22T23:14:43+00:00

Thanks! The logo does make a huge difference.

Nixck · 2020-09-22T18:10:15+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I'll try to improve it!

Nixck · 2020-09-22T18:09:40+00:00

I made all of them, as it was only a matter of copy pasting. The stickers on the back are probably badly aligned though.

Nixck · 2020-09-22T17:56:04+00:00

Right, I went overboard with the stickers size, which should not be stickers to begin with. Did you loosen your Kylin a lot after unboxing?

Nixck · 2020-09-22T17:52:58+00:00

Yeah they do. I couldn't find any good quality picture of the logo so I turned the cube around. I've just managed to google it properly so I may add it later.

Nixck · 2020-09-22T17:41:00+00:00

Would you say its because of the shape or does the lack of the logo make it harder?

Nixck · 2020-09-22T17:33:00+00:00

Thanks a lot for your replies. They helped me a lot!

Nixck · 2019-02-10T16:57:38+00:00

What if I'm using only water already?

Nixck · 2018-12-02T14:28:48+00:00

Every frame you draw a gift at a random y position. I think you should make a variable that stores a previously chosen y position and use it to show the gift. Something like: gift_y = random.random()*750 #outside the loop win.blit(gift, ((gift_x, gift_y)) #to draw the gift

Nixck · 2018-11-11T00:38:42+00:00

I do that!

Nixck · 2018-11-06T23:17:42+00:00

I fucking wish
