NancyGormezano Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 Thought I would start a new topic (instead of spreading it around), to post my homeworks that I've been doing for iversity.org's Design 101 course, using A:M. These assignments are not supposed to take more than 1 hour. hoo hah. So I've been trying (rarely succeed in keeping to 1 hour)...and I've been using models that I already have, modified, recomposed Most people are using photos, hand drawing, other media - quite inspiring. I haven't used A:M for all my assignments - but thought I would share here. Some of these were posted already in other threads...so bear with me. Quote

NancyGormezano Posted November 24, 2013 Author Posted November 24, 2013 That cake is amazing! Everything is using the wonderful matcap shader with image that I got off the tubes of a chocolate candy. Cropped to area of interest, didn't even spherize the cropped photo. The cake is a tamborine model that I had (minus the noisemakers), the flowers, creatures are reused from other projects of mine.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 24, 2013 Hash Fellow Posted November 24, 2013 I couldn't believe it was real and I couldn't believe it was CG. I'm very impressed. Quote
*A:M User* Shelton Posted November 25, 2013 *A:M User* Posted November 25, 2013 All around awesome. Thank you for sharing. Steve Quote
KJ'd Beast Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Nancy, Nice work. You have a very distinct style. I always think of your artistic personality as forest nymph/fairies/witch/mother nature. Love the chocolate texture. Continued success to you, Keith Quote
johnl3d Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Always amazing you do not need design 101 ,,you should be teaching it or maybe design 2001 the Nancy Odyssey ! Quote
NancyGormezano Posted November 25, 2013 Author Posted November 25, 2013 Thanks Steve, KJ, John, Robert! KJ: I have trouble supressing my own personal style, so I decided, I won't! I do not have any ambitions to go commercial, so it doesn't matter. But I do appreciate the clean, simple styles (suitable for magazine layouts, web design, product development, etc), that I am seeing from other participants. John: There is always something to be learned, sparked, inspired by studying the works of others. That's the main reason I am following/doing the Design 101 course. New ideas can't help but get triggered, and the same happens from following people on this forum as well, you included. I find that I can steal..er...get something from just about everybody, regardless of their level of expertise. Robert: My goal was not to be realistic, but to skirt the edge. So I guess "the cake" worked this time! Thanks. The thing I don't like about the course is that I am not finishing these images to my satisfaction. I could go back to them, of course, but don't feel motivated once I've submitted them. There's stuff that needs a-fixing. And stuff that needs to be added, subtracted. Normally I tweak tweak tweak ad nauseum, & try to look at it with fresh eyes the next day. But in this case I'm just pushing them out the door, so that I don't take over 1 day (let alone 1 hour! ). Can be uncomfortable, but also can be freeing. This week (5th week) is supposed to be a resting week (no new assignments, just review of people's work). So I will probably do some new models that I wanted/needed for the last 4 week assignments and use them eventually, somewhere. Quote
