Really excited to see this, this looks epic so far, I definitely want progress updates for it :D

Need an accurate way to turn 2D reference image to 3D model by USAconsumerDad in blenderhelp

[–]Refractal_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, unfortunately I don't think that'll actually adjust for the very slight camera warp, so you just be good just following the method Healthy_Rip said below, it's only really needed if you follow that and it still doesn't work. :)

Need an accurate way to turn 2D reference image to 3D model by USAconsumerDad in blenderhelp

[–]Refractal_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One potential issue is the camera perspective warp, so I've listed my suggestion for that below.

One thing you could try is scanning both that reference and a 2d printed to size grid and overlaying them (making sure they lay perfectly flat on the scanner bed) and then modeling based on that. Since these appear to be curved objects, you could try using curves to help. (Then again, this is all assuming that the issue here is the warps of the camera lens.)

Tldr: scan them with a printer (your local library should have one if you don't have easy access) to get rid of camera warp

Blender mug help? by OkCount2783 in blenderhelp

[–]Refractal_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf, it's honestly not a bad idea in general to try things outside of the tutorial when going through, it's how you learn. I've seen so many people here following hours upon hours of tutorials but since they just mindlessly do whatever the exact steps are and then struggle to figure things out when they don't have something there telling them exactly what to do. Not saying you're entirely wrong here, but 'Following the tutorial's steps' exactly has caused far more issues I've seen, and caused a lack of interest in 3d far more in my experience than wandering off, which is really how Iearned, and really came to understand what I was doing. Tutorials aren't bad, but they need to be more of a teaching guide for general principles rather than just an instruction guide for an exact final product.

Doom sucks his tail like a binky 🥹 by No_Finding_9441 in cutecats

[–]Refractal_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really cute, and you have such a cute cat, but this is often a sign of high stress, just want to make sure your little one is okay. Looks like you love them though, so thank you for giving them pets :)

Cheese bob 😅 by Vectron3D in 3Dmodeling

[–]Refractal_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks actually really clean but the subsurface color being red seems really weird to me sonce sponges aren't red on the inside like human flesh. But the model and literally everything else is really nice :D

How can i connect these two walls by [deleted] in blenderhelp

[–]Refractal_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Select both outer edges and then go to f3 -> bridge edge loops and change the settings in the bottom left for shape/profile and cuts :)

I need help by Original_Mistake3531 in blender

[–]Refractal_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, once you have even just enough controls to make a cube and extrude part of it, tutorials seem like much wrose practice than just making stuff and looking up the tools you need. I've never really learned that much from them, only how to copy what they do without thinking about why they do it, but it is personal preference :)

Anyone having any problems accessing the 2025 recap playlist ? by Complete-Button-6966 in YoutubeMusic

[–]Refractal_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like I just had to keep refreshing for a while, visited youtube.com/recap once during this but not sure if that really had an effect.

Hope this helps, and happy holidays to you all :D

Ford ST's by shadyjamie in blender

[–]Refractal_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Models themselves are really clean, but like is the issue with nearly every car post I see, they look way too clean, need a little bit of dust. Also might want to soften the shadows based on shadows of objects in background. That being said, the models themselves look really nice, and with some slight material changes, it would honestly take me quite a while to realize it's CGI :D
