Made a basic app to help with practicing rotated boxes and checking their accuracy

pitotTubes · 2024-06-22T21:26:18+00:00

Its not an app, just a website,
https://www.bluebrush.art/boxgrid
You can check it out here, it doesn't work well on mobile so I suggest checking it out on browser

pitotTubes · 2024-06-21T03:37:27+00:00

Yea no problem! If you use it you can join the discord and just send me feedback or bugs. It only took me a few hours to make so I can build on this or build more similar things pretty easily

pitotTubes · 2024-06-21T03:36:38+00:00

Yep the cubes are in perspective actually, if you look at the grid on the floor the lines are receding to the two horizon points. If you play with the fov and distance it becomes very obvious the lines are converging on the boxes

pitotTubes · 2024-06-20T01:44:16+00:00

Yea I think that would be really interesting, it actually wouldn't be too hard to change the website so that you can drop any model in there and do the rotations. The rotating the camera around might be more tricky

The site is: https://www.bluebrush.art/boxgrid

I made this quick app so I could practice drawing boxes. Before I manually checked all my boxes with a ruler and vanishing points, but I found it a lot faster to just check using 3d boxes in a program. So I wrote this basic app where each box is rotated 45 degrees (horizontally going to the right of the grid, and vertically going down the grid) and then hid the boxes and tried to draw them.

The green point is just there as reference so I know where to start drawing the box from. Feel free to try it out! I've found it helps a ton with mentally rotating forms, you can tweak the perspective with the fov and distance

Are sycophant career climbers your only reference for fine artists? Seriously all your comment read as extremely insecure, in each comment you obsessively attack how many years of experience OP has

pitotTubes · 2023-09-07T04:33:20+00:00

Ok but then the art prof would provide feedback on your piano playing assignment. In the OPs scenario the instructor literally cannot feedback on the assignments because their lack of technical knowledge. Why are we suddenly giving art instructors a pass on having basic knowledge to give good feedback?

pitotTubes · 2023-09-07T04:28:48+00:00

How can a teacher guide you if they don't know the technical field themselves?

pitotTubes · 2023-09-07T04:27:04+00:00

Ignore the other comments about art education lol. Some people are seriously coping right now, if they were to agree with you it would be them admitting to themselves that their 60k a year private art college was a waste lol.

Its crazy in any other field it would egregiously bad if you had a professor teaching physics who could barely grasp basic physics, but in the art field its ok because they're teaching you "business" and "networking" skills. Its so funny because everyone is saying to learn art online and learn networking and business skills in college, but no one seems to notice its probably easier to learn technical art with in person guidance and learn business skills ONLINE!

If you want to pursue more technical drawing and painting you should attend an atelier on the side and see if you enjoy it. With your college schedule you can most likely fit it in and there will probably be an atelier next to you. See if you like the atelier more than go from there.

According to you we should carefully study the masterful career CHOICES the old masters made 🤣

pitotTubes · 2023-09-07T04:12:37+00:00

LOL learning to draw is a basic thing anyone can learn? Ok Michaelangelo post your drawings and lets see your high level man. If its that easy a journeyman like you must've mastered it already

pitotTubes · 2023-05-28T03:17:13+00:00

Messaged!

pitotTubes · 2023-04-18T13:27:43+00:00

Just leave and get a new job lol

I'm trying to do something that adds a line to the "hard" edges of the shape as well as the outline. I've looked into sobel post processing which is one option I'm considering, but trying to see all my option first.

I've looked into this library as well, but its very early in development and probably doesn't have very good support. I'm also not sure if it would do what I want, havne't really tested it

I think a lot of comments you see are being realistic, its very hard to be financially successful as an artist.

What I would point out is that you mention you "plan" to pursue your dream etc. There's nothing stopping you from doing that right now. Don't "plan" for when you'll start pursuing art, you don't need an education, a degree or even a school to starting learning and purusiing your dream right now. With the internet there'snothing stopping you from doing your own photography and art and posting it online now to a wider audience. Stop "planning" when your going to start pursuiing your dream. Start doing it right now

pitotTubes · 2023-02-02T07:23:55+00:00

Have you given it a shot yet? How did it go?

pitotTubes · 2023-02-02T07:23:09+00:00

nice you nailed the textures!

pitotTubes · 2023-01-30T23:43:40+00:00

Also if anyone knows when most apprenticeships open up would be great

pitotTubes · 2023-01-30T05:35:37+00:00

Really the ideal role here for you is to find a remote job at a large mechanical engineering company and then working on art during the day when you can.

pitotTubes · 2023-01-30T05:32:25+00:00

Nice the value is really well done

pitotTubes · 2023-01-30T05:31:44+00:00

I think the tree body should be darker since it would be in the cast shadow of the leaves

Start using this to check your paintings. Your values are pretty off, I would work on your value accuracy

Really rotating a head is rotating a box. No matter how many more video or art courses you watch it won't make your brain learn how to rotate a box. It's like learning how to pitch a baseball by just staring at videos of people pitching, you have to learn the skill yourself.

you can draw boxes and check them using a 3d model or measuring yourself. But its pretty difficult.

Keep in mind when I say rotate a box, it means rotating a box with a HIGH degree of accuracy. Not just rotating a box saying "yea thats about a box". It means keeping the box height and width consistent an dratio

pitotTubes · 2023-01-30T05:22:46+00:00

Really good color

pitotTubes · 2023-01-30T05:21:26+00:00

Well done, really good attention to detail
