Pencil

Another modeling exercise for me.
A simple pencil :slight_smile: What do you say?

Hey! Looks nice. I can’t find any thing to critique. Mabe try different composition with desk and paper. Keep up the work. Happy Blending!! :smiley:

Cool :o , but how did you get those lines inside? It looks like a drawing, I have tried to do this before, but couldn’t get lines inside the model, only outline and shadows, but not constant hard lines. I hope you understand what I’m saying :slight_smile:

Well, I just used the Edge button in the Edit Buttons and set it to 255. Then I rendered it using the unified rendered. %|

Only crit is that the tip should be round instead of hexagonal. Don´t think there is a matching sharpener. I´ve done that once using booleans.

What does it look like without the edge button enabled? Might be fun to shoot for a photoreal version, eh?

Emil:

What you call a simple exercise is a difficult one I see. Anyway, for a cartoony work, yours is just fine. Good work.

Photoreal…: I just looked at a real pencil, and man o man, there is more to it. As nico said, booleans may do the trick, but even so, it remains difficult. If I can think of it, I’ll give it a try.
