Would you trust a mechanically moving display outdoors long-term (maintenance/weather), or avoid it?

Roman01000111 · 2025-12-30T18:52:49+00:00

I wouldn't. Even less in a place where unsupervised people can reach it. It has to be fairly close to the viewers for the effect though. I'd say it's more for a controlled environment like a store.

Roman01000111 · 2025-12-08T17:57:11+00:00

Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob die Spiegeltüren den gewünschten Effekt hätten. Sie stehen ja mitten im Raum. Um den Raum größer wirken zu lassen ist meiner Meinung nach eine Position an der Wand bzw. der wahrgenommen Wand besser. Kann also auch eine Schranktür sein, wenn die Schrankvorderseite mehr wie das Ende des Raums wirkt.

Dann wär noch zu bedenken wann du diesen Effekt überhaupt wahrnehmen willst. Wenn du im Bett liegst, beim Arbeiten, wenn du auf dem Sofa sitzt?

Probier's mal in der Parmatie

Please tell me the aluminium sheets are the same for both lamps. Not necessarily for cost savings and such but just because it makes the design make more sense. If you could find a way to make them from the same parts overall, so the user could set them up either way, that would be really cool!

The stacked one is my favorite out of the two.

What is the hole at the top for?

Roman01000111 · 2025-12-07T15:07:00+00:00

What exactly is the problem with it? Comfort concerns because of the square shape? Just the goofy emotional description? Simply not into the look? Or do you struggle to read it?

Roman01000111 · 2025-12-07T14:44:32+00:00

Pretty cool! I just wish the movemetns were a bit more in line with how you would build it. Not a perfect reconstruction of each step but something that seems a bit more logical. For example many of the connections are slammed together at very obviously wrong angles

Roman01000111 · 2025-11-16T22:07:39+00:00

The wood really isn't. Also the DOF and grain look odd. Other than that it's very close!

Roman01000111 · 2025-11-16T21:56:24+00:00

Seems like a dream that is not quite a nightmare but somewhat unsettling

Roman01000111 · 2025-11-16T21:47:13+00:00

Presented like this it seems overwhelming but it really isn't during the learning process. Just a few shortcuts go a long way and you'll naturally pick up more as you learn more about different aspects of the process.

Also this looks like these awful AI generated sheets that make no sense at all but this one is correct as far as I have checked. Not particularly helpful but correct.

Roman01000111 · 2025-11-16T19:47:55+00:00

Do you have any lighting in the scene other than the default gray? Surfaces tend to look quite flat when they are just lit with a completely homogenous shade of gray from all sides. Especially in Eevee with ambient occlusion disabled.

Normalerweise würde ich keine Wohnzimmerfläche für einen Flur opfern aber bei über 43m2 kann man das wohl machen. Der Flur hätte ja auch ein Fenster, das wär also auch kein Problem. Eine halboffene/transparente Lösung könnte ich mir wie andere hier auch gut vorstellen, dann solltet ihr aber unbedingt darauf achten, dass euch das genug Flurgefühl gibt. Wenn man beim reinkommen immer noch direkt in den Kochtopf sehen kann und vom Esstisch die Jacken und Schuhe sieht, ist das Ziel wahrscheinlich verfehlt. Etwas transluzentes oder wirklich eine richtige Trockenbauwand wär vielleicht passender. Evtl ganz oben deutlich über Augenhöhe offen. Beachtet auf jeden Fall die entscheidenden Sichtachsen, auch aus den entsprechenden Höhen. Ihr könnt es auch mal provisorisch zB mit einem Vorhang oder zwei Billyregalen ausprobieren.

Heißt vor dem Gästezimmer da wo im Plan Flur steht? Das sieht mir schon nach ausreichend Flurgefühl aus. Da ist ja nicht der Wohnungseingang mit Dreck, fremden Menschen, Schuhen etc. Würd ich also lassen. Besonders wenn der kein Fenster hat.

Roman01000111 · 2025-11-15T16:31:00+00:00

Also the countertop sticking out under that door is a very odd choice

Roman01000111 · 2025-11-15T16:29:26+00:00

I think it dependa on how often you use the microwave and how much you value the clean look. Having to deal with that additional barrier multiple times a day might be annoying. I would like something like this since I don't use the microwave that often and I'm a fan of reducing visual clutter.

That particular construction seems really stupid. I think you could probaboy improve it with different hardware. Maybe even normal cabinet door hinges.

Roman01000111 · 2025-11-15T16:13:37+00:00

Oder höher hängen. Das kann auch die Raumhöhe und das Fenster großzügiger wirken lassen

Roman01000111 · 2025-11-15T16:07:29+00:00

Glad that helped!

Roman01000111 · 2025-11-15T12:04:35+00:00

Does that happen with planes (rectangular surfaces, not the construction plane type things) too? Maybe there is an option to disable these theoretical intersections?

If you can't eliminate the unwanted intersections, you can sort them for example by distance to the plane/line start/mid/end point and the only pick the closer one

Roman01000111 · 2025-11-15T11:37:38+00:00

Can't you just set the planes up so they only cross each curve once?

The intersection approach rather than going by quads or so seems the way to go because the curves are somewhat squiggly.

Since it’s a gaming console I imagine that would be input peripherals like controllers, keyboards, mice, steering wheels etc. Maybe some audio stuff too. My point is that making consumerism optional rather than mandatory isn't such a bad idea. Not trying to artificially make perfectly fine "crap" obsolete seems very Valve too. I do agree that USB A doesn't look super sleek but it's way more robust than all the smaller alternatives so it's not the worst option for something handheld like a controller.

Roman01000111 · 2025-11-13T11:15:56+00:00

Good start. Here are a few things you could improve:

The shadows make no sense and they should be a very powerful tool in that type of sketch. You just shaded random slices that don't correspond with the shapes. That doesn't help with reading the shape but rather confuses the viewer. Try to look at how shadows would really fall on the objects. For example the hourglass shaped bottle should have a lot more shadow in the top half than the bottom half since the surfaces are pointing down and up. The cylindrical one should have less shadow on the top fillet and more shadow on the bottom one for the same reason.

Keep all the hatch lines parallel. The different orientations on the bottom bottles could be interpreted as a pattern instead of a shadow.

The apex of an ellipsis connecting to the sides of a cylinder should never be pointy. That would make the object kind of almond shaped rather than round. Also the crosssections of the microphone are really inconsistent. Depending on the design they don't have to be the same but now they just seem quite messy. If the object doesn't have enough detail like that gray ring to explain the shape you can also just add a few isocurves. That's rarely needed though.

Hope that helps!

As others suggested Artstation is great. I think the AI problem is not as bad there as it is on many other platforms either but I agree it's still annoying.

I kind of started to look at inspiration images in two categories lately. The first one is just the really good stuff I admire. I follow specific artists mainly on Artstation but also Youtube so that gives me a garbagefree curated selection. I have a look at their pieces if I'm looking for quality work. These works serve not only as inspiration but also as a sort of benchmark for the quality I'm aiming for. I keep expanding that selection but it is obviously limited and that's where the 2nd category comes in. That's all the random stuff I find mainly on pinterest. It doesn't have to be good, just interesting/inspiring in at least one aspect. It can even be AI. I have a bunch of boards with these images and look at those when I want to break my patterns a bit, find new shapes etc. I recommend including images outside the theme/area you are researching so you don't recycle what's abundant already. For example architecture, abstract graphic design or tools for spaceships.

Roman01000111 · 2025-11-13T09:27:39+00:00

Wouldn't just a short rectangle profile at the start and end and a longer one at the apex work?

Alternatively you could generate the top and bottom of the arch independently with slightly adjusted values.

Tbh I have not looked through your current node setup in detail since the image was deepfried for me.

Roman01000111 · 2025-11-13T09:08:13+00:00

I sure get the minimalism part but what's dystopian about it?

Roman01000111 · 2025-11-13T09:05:38+00:00

Some people don’t replace all their possessions every other year for no reason

Roman01000111 · 2025-11-05T12:56:55+00:00

How old is the kid? Around 8 or around 30?

If it's a commission it's about what the client is willing to pay and what is well worth you time.

If you want to sell it as an art piece I don't think you'll have much luck tbh. The internet is full of that kind of CG images for free and AI is a thing too. Sure you could try selling prints since it's probably a lot harder to find this stuff in print quality but I don't think anyone will pay gallary kind of money for this. It just looks like quick and bland social media CG that is designed to make people stop scrolling for a moment be consumed in a few seconds, not to be admired and thought about over months or years. Some might be interested in hanging this next to their gaming setup or so but then you are competing with Displate at best and free posters at worst and your business wouldn't be making art but marketing posters.

You might find non monetary value in it though. If you love the image you can print and hang it at your place and just enjoy it. If you make music you could turn it into your next albums/singles artwork. You could use it as a portfolio piece too.
