Asset: Modeling Signs / Bumper Stickers
🕑 Added 2020-05-01 01:33:41 +0000 UTCWoo! You guys- the last week's been... a bit of a doozy! One of those times where everything seems to be breaking at once: a pipe exploded in the kitchen, the van died, the internet's been out, and I juuuust got diagnosed with skin cancer (not the particularly dangerous kind, but still a drag). And, y'know, just kind of being depressed.
Honestly I filmed like 7 different things with the thought up uploading them up here, but I just kept phasing out about half way through.
So! To get out of the funk I decided to do something for fun: make a bunch of random fake strip-mall businesses. I suspect it's self explanatory, but feel free to watch the video to see some ways to use them. (If you're curious in a more advanced "torn paper" effect, check out the torn stickers lazy tut)
Try opening the image in a new tab to see it full rez for download.
SIGNS:
Bumper Stickers:
This is the shot I made them for; it's going to be the view outside a window, although I still need to make the interior space (that'll be another fun project).
Along the same vein, this is another shot I was working on:
So that's the old version of the shot- it's what I did a year or so ago. And it was fine. Honestly, from a cinematic perspective, it's probably the best option. Wet lonely early morning (this is also the second half of the shot I was showing last Friday).
But this is also the first time we really see the city, and I wanted to introduce a feeling of being able to "explore", so I redid it, filling it with little details and walkways.
The "24" convenience store is an earlier version of the "24-7" store I used in the other image I posted. It uses a few of the same elements, but I figure it could be a franchise and that's allowed?? hah
All the people in the scene are animated (you can probably only see the one in the lower left, but there are 4 folks all doing stuff in there). I used the Rokoko Smartsuit to grab a few animations of people just "doing stuff with their hands", and it works pretty well for just a general "person doing something" type filler.
And here are a couple examples of images where I've used the bumper stickers. Fun way to add some life to a scene!
In this one I used them as billboards, which works fairly well, before I had the street sign options
Anyways! Yeah, did a lot of experimenting this week, but didn't finish quite as much as I'd hoped. I think I just needed a couple days to re-center, you know?
Talk soon!

Just read this, sorry to hear of the trouble. Thanks ever so much for providing the inspiration that motivated me to take the leap from 3ds Max to Blender. Been a user of the former since MS-DOS days to it's present zombieware state. Blender has made 3D fun again!
You know when a project means something to Ian when he actually save the .blend file..

I really hope things get better soon, man. Thanks for everything you give us :)

Hey Ian! Do you think you'd be able to link the PSD file so we could change the text accordingly?
MrBurd
Take care dude! I feel seriously compelled to print some of these out and use them as stupid little bumper stickers, they're good!

I love how the scene's called "establish crab" :D
Phillip Park
That's a bit of crappy news, even if its not the most dangerous kind its still a massive bummer. But you have our support, Hopefully you can get the right treatment!
I keep watching this video over and over again. Love it. Out of curiosity, can you outline your pc specs? Thanks
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you get well soon.
Lukas Sprehn
Shit, cancer? Man, that is sad. I hope you get well soon. It's removable, right? Through chemo?

I've only been listening/watching your videos for a month or so, but wow. Love your energy and style of showing us all the cool little tips and tricks. Some of it is fast and intense, but most of it is in a way that captures my attention, almost like my best friend saying "Hey hey HEY! Check out this cool thing I found out, thought you might like it". And I think that's neat

I feel assured the universe will look after you, but make sure you take care of yourself. Eat well... lots of greens, and give yourself space to let go. Them feelings don't feel themselves. Your work is consistently amazing and clearly very inspiring. Thank you for being.
Take some time for you and your family Ian, sometimes it's good to take a rest to come back in a better form. Take care of yourself man, x
Look after yourself Ian, and thanks for all the awesome stuff you post!
