๐Ÿ“ธ Blender Product Rendering Course [Your Ideas, Suggestions]
๐Ÿ‘‰Read all and let me know your thoughts I thought about creating our first Blender Course that covers the full rendering process of a product (eg. headphones). Professional and photo-realistic results with which you actually can/could earn money. My idea is to create a complete Beginner Introduction course, which will be a solid base for everyone coming into Blender or professional product rendering. So, all my following next courses will "build on top" of this Beginner Course. The outline would be something like: ๐Ÿ”นBONUS 00: Plasticity-Blender Export - Go over the process of how to bring a Plasticity model into Blender ๐Ÿ”น 01 - Beginner Introduction - Install - UI + Basics - Lighting Basics - Material Basics ๐Ÿ”น 02 - Main Project: Beats Studio Headphones ๐Ÿ”น Render 1 (Image 1): Studio Lighting - Clean professional studio lighting, white background - Full process of materials, lighting, rendering, etc ๐Ÿ”นRender 2 (Image 2+3): Environment Render - Full professional environment Render - materials, light, scene setup, assets, etc. ๐Ÿ”น 03 - Rendering + post-production in Photoshop - Full process of how to make 3D renders really punchy and pop with post-editing ๐Ÿ‘‰ Let me know your thoughts, ideas, if you like it, if you don't like it, what else you want etc. etc.

@Kiel Nicolas any mesh-centric software that is based on surface approximations will never reach the precision of a math-based CAD app. polygonal modelers do not compute using geo kernels (eg. Parasolid, C3D, ACIS). instead, mesh modelers compute via surface tessellation. Plasticity uses the Parasolid geometric kernel, customized for solid and primary surfacing work. Tried , true, and tested. Under the hood, Blender runs OpenSubdivision library invented by Pixar. Excellent for on-screen work, whether static (eg. game assets) or dynamic (eg. rigging, animation, PBR). Blender is not the tool for creating artifacts requiring tolerances and precision (ie. GD&T). Most CNC machines run with G-code based protocol. Similar to what a 3D printer slicer does when inputting an .stl file, but with one major difference: unlike .step files created by a CAD program, a designer/machinist has no way to โ€œadjustโ€ an .stl file (other than scale) during fit up and machining. CAD assets provide max flexibility to iterate designs and output clean parts.

@Roby Revelli strongly recommend buying matls, vice creating. lots to choose from. also, start with a clean cool hydri for the scene. polyhaven has free .hdri scene lighting (eg. abondoned slipway). personally use blender bros material works. excellent for sci-fi esque matls and donโ€™t want to mess around with nodes.
What's your favorite car and why?
๐Ÿš— My dream: Porsche GT3 (MANUAL SHIFT), because: - most beautiful engine sound - manual shifting is the most fun thing in the world. - Incredible aggressive, elegant look (The GT3 is one of the few super sport cars you can buy with manual shifting, omg.

1965 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350. From a design perspective, the cleanest belt line and sexiest surfaces to comeo out of the Ford Mustang line. The power plant is substandard as is the suspension. But the exterior and Pony interior is gold.

great course Nikita. would you please show a quick vid in how your used the project curve-curve command to create the mouse body shown in the example video? video ref: common problems - surface not smooth. i know how to project curves in Solidworks, but certainly this is similar in Plasticity. thanks!

@Nikita Kapustin thank you kindly Nikita!
Wish you a great start to 2024! - What would you like to improve?
Hey everyone! Wish you a productive and creative start to the new year. May you grow personally and professionally throughout the year. What would you like to improve the most in your 3D modeling journey?

aloha nikita. continue to hammer on primary surfacing, specifically related to ID (industrial design) and mech design assets. nick and his team are accelerating the toolsets and art-of-the-possible on surfacing in Plasticity. your sci-fi esque drills, and helmets are excelllent. examples to consider: HURST tool (hydraulic spreader, cutter), MagDrill, Schilling Robotics Titan Manipulator, electro-pneumatic medical tools, micro-fluidics assys, Miller Electric or Fronius MIG torches, geared assemblies (that can be rigged with FK/IK movements), USN MK21 (Superlight 17) deep sea diver helmet, F-35 pilot's helmet, SR71 Blackbird, Orange Vise Machinist Vise, F1 car body, etc. time to start your Helmet Course. we're going in...
