Modeling MDL-012 for HMP02 in Blender 3.6 | Timelapse
MDL-005 is the first new addition to the #hmp02 asset pack. The design takes some elements from MDL-005 and adds some new ones - such as a spring - for something different. This timelapse is a chopped compilatio from the recent #shillstream sessions. Modeling is done in Blender. This new piece will be uploaded in the coming days.
Been meaning to put in some real practice in designing and making freeform mechs, particularly designs that resemble the works of Vitaly Bulgarov. When @Arrimus3D started his Practice series I took it as an opportunity to turn in into a daily practice exercise in Blender 2.91
I didn't think to record the process for this one as most of my attention was mostly on the tutorial videos. Videos that follow this one will, however have sped-up timelapses.
Aiming to at least get to 30 days and then evaluate. A word of warning - there are some rough patches ?

This week's timelapse session for mechanical design practice in Blender 2.93 is a portion of an electric motorbike. Took a lot more time compared to the others, but it was a good lesson in putting bigger pieces together as I work toward scaling projects up. Used a lot of Boxcutter, Hard Ops and Kit Ops - a majority of the workflow leaning on SubD modeling.
Happy with how this came out. Pacing was something that came up as another lesson, when considering the potential resolution the session was to reach.
Will definitely scale next week's down and work on having a better polish on the detailing and incrementally build up on the scale.
I also want to plan these pieces out more going forward via sketches to streamline the process - similar to the tutorial I made for 3 simple KParts [https://youtu.be/OSYJw4u-N5E] which is oddly doing well on the channel :S
Anyway.
Thanks for checking out my video/channel.

Day 24 of the daily freeform mech practice in Blender 2.91. Not the worst, but far from my best. Brain peaced-out after work yesterday and recovered (somewhat) at the eleventh-hour with something. Trying to figure out how to overcome these increasing blocks.

A lot has changed since the release of #hmp02 and I wanted to make some improvements starting with this actuator (MDL-005). I put together a refsheet of the kind of look I'm aiming for as well as the kind of project I would showcase the finished product in. Modeling is done in Blender 3.4.1

Day 20 of the daily freeform mech practice in Blender 2.91. ((Boards the complain train)) Easily the hardest day in terms of finding a flow I could stick with. A solid 3.5 hours of abandoned projects passed before settling on this one. 2 thirds in and I now have a good picture of the kind of shapes I prefer. 43 seconds into this video is where I felt I'd found the flow and like a frustrating weight had been lifted off. Heads-up: I'm continuing on from this "plantish"/ reptilian look to develop it more as I build up to composing full projects when this is done. I know this is nothing life-changing, but I can't describe the relief of having one of the main objectives of this challenge being realised (even at all at this point) because there have been days, particularly today, where the misfires were turning this into an "only-ten-more-days" scenario - now it's got me looking forward to day 21 (mojo, gods, forgive my enthusiasm ??...??♂️)

The goal for FOTJ02 was to try create something that resembled a frame. I followed the same process as FOTJ01 having since created some K-Parts like the threaded pieces for faster assembly. Modeled in Blender 3.6, turnaround renders created using SheepIt's online render farm to produce this final timelapse.
