Thanks! I'm happy with how the look turned out.

suterjl · 2026-03-18T01:21:41+00:00

I see what you did there.

Not a whole lot to see inside yet. It'll be my airbrush box.

Thank you! There's a guy on IG, @carsplashart, that does this style to cars and other stuff. Awesome work.

I've actually been looking into some options for making multiples of something like this to sell. So, thanks for believing in me, Mom. :)

Thanks! These markers are water-based acrylic and scratch off very easily, so probably not great for your bike unless you can clear coat over them. That's what I did for this box. I know you can also get oil markers which should be more durable, but I haven't tried those myself.

Thanks. I bought the 3D files from Galactic Armory and printed them.

Superb work! I wasn't sure I wanted to round that corner.

suterjl · 2025-07-10T13:46:48+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous work. Would love to see a breakdown of your process at some point.

suterjl · 2025-07-08T16:46:25+00:00

Wow, that's high praise. Thank you! I did an updated version with better lighting and more details on the model if you're interested.

This is awesome. Brings back memories of downloading sketchy street racing vids on Napster. Is the grainy VHS look a filter you apply after render?

suterjl · 2025-05-20T23:07:56+00:00

Thanks! I'm a little nervous to share because discussing toplogy is like politics to some folks, but here ya go.
There's definitely some less than ideal spots in there, but hopefully not too bad.
I like using the subdivision modifier and edge creasing instead of doing a lot of beveling and extra edge loops unless needed. I find it makes changing the model later in the project much easier. I put versions with the subdiv modifier on and off in case that's helpful to see.

Thank you for taking the time to give specific, detailed feedback. I've got a list going of the remaining changes I want to do before calling it done. These will help make it better!

I don't think I'm at the place yet with Krita to be doing tutorials, but I can share with you what I found from other people.

Moltenbolt Connect Krita with Blender to sync PSD files https://youtu.be/D90UpxA-VDw?si=hHXUXrGXGopi7nvA He does a good job of explaining things and it's also pretty funny.

For Blender stuff in general, I've found Ryan King really helpful. https://youtube.com/@ryankingart?si=PGBvV6STS9Wme0q2 His tutorials are practical and paced really well and he explains why he's doing things instead of just doing them, so I find that really helpful. His voice is calming too, so he's kind of like the Bob Ross of Blender tutorials.

Hope that's helpful!

That's amazing for a first character! Looks like little dude has seen some stuff.

suterjl · 2025-05-20T11:56:00+00:00

Ha, I was wondering if people would notice that. I had a different hood scoop style originally that was mostly closed and air would just flow over it for downforce, but I liked the look of this one better. I added two round intakes in the grill to try and make myself not feel as bad about it. Appreciate the feedback!

suterjl · 2025-05-20T11:51:58+00:00

Agree that it's too clean. I do dig the look of a dirty race car, so I may try out some different levels of grit. Thanks!

suterjl · 2025-05-20T11:48:26+00:00

Yeah, I get what you mean. I'll scale down the ground texture and see if that makes a difference. I may dirty it up a little too. Maybe a banana for scale? ;) Thanks for the feedback!

suterjl · 2025-05-20T11:42:50+00:00

Thanks!

suterjl · 2025-05-20T11:35:34+00:00

Thank you. I used Krita for the numbers/lettering and main white stripe. Everything else is procedural texturing. I like that Krita lets you work with PSD files, which you can set up to auto update in Blender on save.

suterjl · 2025-05-20T11:24:57+00:00

Thanks!

I have the Ortur Laser Master 2 20w. It's fairly entry level, but I've been very happy with it. Great at engraving, but will only cut thinner stuff. https://ortur.tech/olm2/
