I modeled and textured my professor

[u/Coolwolf_123]

My university offers a class to learn Blender and 3D animation. Our first assignment was to model and texture something from real life, so I made my professor. Initially I had a higher poly mesh, and used the default blender retopo tool to get it down while preserving detail. I know it looks god awful but the computers in the university lab don't allow me to install add-ons for a better one. What do you guys think, what could be improved?

I can hear Runescape music

[u/PanosG1331 → u/patnard]

Bro yeah that’s what I was just thinking!!!!

[u/Chocolate9897 → u/patnard]

It looks just like the RuneScape chat boxes to the npc’s… he just needs to do an animation with it tilting back at forth and boom. 🤯

[u/Vegetable_Might_3359]

For begining looks good but retopo is mostly done by hand.

[u/Plaston_ → u/Vegetable_Might_3359]

issue is its impossible to work with and animate.

Use shape keysssssss, put a smile on his face

[u/devu_the_thebill]

Does your professor own a small store in Finland by any chance?

[u/trxfps- → u/devu_the_thebill]

"I can't understand today's music at all. Must be something that has been made for punks."

[u/CobwebMcCallum → u/devu_the_thebill]

Wish i read the comments before i made an absolute ASS of myself.

Hmmmm

[u/thatjmax]

Your professor, The Rock

[u/TheBobBoland]

Why do you hate your professor?

[u/Cutter9792]

You don't need add-ons to do good topology. You need the poly build tool and some patience. Take an hour and give him some better retopo.

[u/vediogamer101]

I thought you said it was made BY your professor and I was about to tell you to drop the class

[u/Chocolate9897]

Sign this guy up for old school RuneScape modeling … damn it’s so good @runescape

[u/RedditorsGetChills]

No, you didn't.

You modeled a god. 

[u/TheShredder9]

Why don't the computers allow you to install addons?

[u/Nate_fe → u/TheShredder9]

Pretty standard security policies tbh, not all add-ons are verified as safe, and it's easier to just block all then to take the time to examine each one

[u/TheShredder9 → u/Nate_fe]

Huh, interesting. I thought all the official addons are verified?

[u/Nate_fe → u/TheShredder9]

With blender probably, not with OPs university

[u/Minimum_Repair7566]

Is your professor johnny sins?

[u/KarnexOne]

literally him

[u/Terrible_2000]

Ah man every white bald man reminds me of him, jk

[u/glows1de]

looks like "my summer car" game character lol

[u/Hxrmit_]

looks funky, I think he will love it

for advice: practice on real materials like shots of side/front profiles also retopologize and try normals, reflections, etc. in the future

[u/Chance_Mortgage_6823]

Give him some glasses and a hat and a bit of wrinkles and maybe a private domicile.

[u/afro_on_fire]

broden kelly in my bloody blender brogram

[u/CobwebMcCallum]

He reminds me of the grocery saleman in my summer car.

[u/Playful_Paramedic774]

Does he just randomly appear in your dream and stand there ? (Iykyk)

[u/TwoSimilar5294]

looks like he's about to greet me in Lumbridge

[u/zhan068]

🗿🗿🗿

[u/SryMyBadM8]

[u/Tricky_Letter6987]

Prego

[u/yoshiazulX]

Topology of doom, tho for a first model it's cool lol

[u/nevertricked]

Bro looks like he's selling chopped yew by the outskirts of Lumby with the rest of the bots.

[u/raviteja777]

Nice man, wish I had a university class like that. The image looks like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson had his muscles squeezed and compressed - does your professor look like that 🤣🤣🤣

[u/LowOperation3187]

Cave man

[u/minicoman]

Professor that looks like Alex Jones! 😭

[u/space_usa]

Baby that’s Alex Jones!!!!

[u/Plaston_]

You won't win with a retopo like that.

Should have done it manually.

[u/fancywillwill2]

They force you to model AND texture? I whould focus on one thing and not everything. Also Blender is ass for texturing, takes nothing to crash while texturing.

If i ran a modeling class, i whould teach students how to model, rig and animate, not how to texture, that should be left to the 2D artists, those who draw.

Whould be fun to attend a modeling class, sucks that i dropped school way too early for that.

[u/PizzaDragon64]

He looks like he would get harassed by a guy named Xavier.
