Yesterday was a total bust so today counts as day 8 of class ๐Ÿ˜†

Still working on the barrel texture. Today I added a decal from the school on the top. Tried to make it look like it's branded into the wood ๐Ÿค”

I also found some errors I'll have to fix tomorrow.

Day 7 of classes. Created a metal material for the barrel hoops.

Not sure how realistic the rust turned out. In the second picture, you can see the material I made without rust (left) next to the premade one I used before (right).

Day 6 of classes, creating materials from scratch in Substance 3D Painter.

I created the wood texture on the left and compared it to the pre-made one I used before. I like it.

What do you think?

Day 5 of barrel project... or actually I'm just going to call it day 5 of classes ๐Ÿ˜†

Most of today was spent on creating this simple model but hey, I'm a noob ๐Ÿฅฒ

Day 4 of barrel project: small side model - a crate!

All previous steps repeated on a simple crate model: Creating the high and low poly meshes and baking the details on the low poly (and a little test with pre-made materials).

I think it took around 9 hours! Every frame was rendering in about 1.5 minutes, but then I tried my next scene in Maya and with Maya's renderer I took like 12 minutes to render one image so I can't even imagine what an animation would take in Maya ๐Ÿ’€

I just finished Little Nightmares 1 a couple of days ago! Really loved the mood and environment

Day 3 of creating a #3D barrel for class.

Low poly mesh created today (2k tris as opposed to 200k high poly) and details baked onto it.

The materials are just a test with the default ones in Substance 3D Painter.

I'd suggest you Blender Guru's donut tutorial, that's what got me started

Day 2 of #3D modeling a barrel for class.

Today I did the high poly, with color ID for baking onto the low poly.

I would go for some more details if I had more time but as a beginner I'm working more slowly and just trying to absorb all the information and learn the software.

Day 1 of creating a #3D barrel for class.

For the high poly, the staves (planks) and hoops are created in a straight line to then be bent into a circular form.

Software: Autodesk #Maya 2026

Good luck! It's a great tutorial I followed it too :)

A dark moody scene of a sorcerer's desk lit by candlelight. The desk is covered with a scroll, potions, candles, books and an inkpot and quill. Moonlight is shining on the desk from a nearby window.

This was my second #3Dart project and was fully done in Autodesk Maya. I followed Game Dev Academy's beginner tutorial for #Maya and I familiarized myself with the software in preparation for a bootcamp I'm starting!

Everything is modeled by me, but textures are downloaded from freePBR.

If you want it to be 3D I still think blender is the simplest of choicest

My first ever #3d work done fully in #blender using Blender Guru's donut tutorial. The focus of the tutorial was to learn the software and create the donuts and the plate, but the background is all downloaded assets.
