Hello all! So I am fairly new to blender and 3d modeling.I am no where near done with this I just had finished maybe the first step into what im doing with this tennis ball but thought I would send out the render of what I have so far and maybe get feedback on this, hopefully i get some good and not just all bad :P. I havent worked on the lighting and have not gone into compositing yet. This is just the basics with a sun lamp on sky mountain mode. Hope ya’ll like it for what it is now!
Hey that’s really quite good. I’m guessing you’re showing us a ‘used’ ball. It’s a bit on the green side. Not sure if you’re modeling a green ball or not. It’s been a while since I bought tennis balls. As well I’m not sure if at Wimbledon if the balls get grass stained or not. They use there own brand there I’m thinking not that Wilson isn’t good.
Great job especially for one of your first renders.
Hey,
Yeah i really like it! Its a great first render and much better than my first (such a long time ago already,man time flys, lol ^_^) The only thing thats bothering me is the shininess if the hair. From what i remember about a tennisball, its less shiny and more rough like…i still think its a great model though, even for how simple it is. Ill follow this thread till u have the finished result then ill critique it
Thank you all for the compliments and help on this!! I’m glad to hear the good and bad so i know what to improve or how to do it. I did do this pretty much from scratch with the particles so it was all just messing around with some setting to get to this.
Ronson2k3: This is suppose to be a used ball lol. I used wilson only because I saw the wilson logo when looking around at some logos to put on the ball lol. I should look up a Wimbledon ball, never knew they had there own ball. Also il try turning down the green a little too. Thank you for the help and also for the good compliment!
fpsgod17: I agree it is to shinny so I will have to fix that, just not sure how to make the hair less hinny. Would that be under the roughness part under children in the particle system or is there another way? Now this is my first render I have put on here but I do have a few more (but they were only to learn stuff so its from tutorials all around, nothing my own). but I will start putting up more pictures as I go through with this tennis ball! Thank you for wanting to help and critique as I go a long.
jonathandone:Rreally? I wonder why you cant see anything…hmmm
bonteburg: What do you mean by gummy bits lol, I just have never heard that before, but thank you for the two thumbs up!
That looks much more like a tennis ball now Maybe you could add another particle system to make some random longer strands, i can see a few in the image Ronson2k3 posted…Good work
thank you, i actually am trying the second particle system and just need to make some adjustments before i put up another render…those wimbledon balls are coool!
