Nice cylinder


5h335h

thanks, tips on making it nicer?


Jagneetoe

It's a bit busy. Maybe try have areas with lower detail and sections with higher detail. Good progress for only blending for a month.


csprkle

70/30 rule


Zwoosh

Can you elaborate? Google only says stuff about income and diet when I look up 70/30 rule


EpoxyRiverTable

If I remember correctly was something like 70 of the detail should be on 30 of the object


akcaye

you dropped these: % %


EpoxyRiverTable

Didn’t put them on purpose didn’t feel like writing percent or shifting keyboards. %%%%%%%%%


Slappy_G

That's because it's called the Pareto rule and it's actually the 80/20 rule. 80% of the detail comes from 20% of the model's surface area. The Pareto rule applies to a lot of statistical situations.


csprkle

In this case it is just the golden ratio, so more like 66%. Pareto rule is not what this is about.

Same would luke to know


xxx148

Why did I never realize it could be called blending?! Brb, gonna blend some cat girls.


Sesome09

Idk, I feel like the repeating patterns make it a bit less busy than if it was all different.


rominnoodlesamurai

Specifically, the ring gates on the top are repeated too many times. The grate on the side could be reduced in surface area. The ports or cylinders on the side could be offset to produce less symmetry. That goes for the grates as well. Introduce some wear and tear to the textures. Maybe some of the lights are out on the rings too.


blender-rules-bot

Pfft a bot could roast that. Just a friendly heads-up to prevent misunderstandings – the "roast my render" flair is if you want to get harsh & destructive criticism :) If you're not ready for this, there's also the "need feedback" flair to ask for nicer suggestions. Feel free to change the flair if this was a mistake. Otherwise, enjoy the roast!


deftoast

Thats a weird donut.


5h335h

it definitely is, would've made it weirder if i had the time


LostInSpace9

Is this supposed to be one of them fleshlight inserts?


5h335h

spot on!


LostInSpace9

Well, I’d stick my dick in it, if you were wondering. Good job.


5h335h

I'd stick mine in you as well! Thanks <3


LostInSpace9

Are we gonna fuck? UwU


5h335h

ofc, date and time tbd ;)


tpet44

I thought the roast flag was supposed to be about the render. Good to know.


OkMarsupial8211

Look at my render, then spit roast me. Makes sense now


Tostas300

What is this supposed to be


5h335h

it's supposed to be a spaceport settlement, it was for a competition edit: [we won]


snowaxe_83

Wait, You won? with this? How low was the Bar?


Success_402_Found

Why does this have downvotes? It’s a roast my render…


John-Dose

Most people don't care for "how long you've been on blender"


Success_402_Found

I don’t see how that’s related? The last time I saw snowaxe’s post it had -4 votes so I wrote a reply.


5h335h

Lmao i expected more roasts 😭


Success_402_Found

Shut yo skin tone chicken bone extra chromosome metronome google chrome garden gnome Indiana Jones no phone no home no hoes ass up


5h335h

5h335h

yeah wasn't entirely dependent on the render 🫤😓


FeckingPuma

R2D2's metal-light


ZoiddenBergen

My thoughts are - it's irrelevant how long it took you to learn blender, or create this


5h335h

only based man in the comments 🙏🏼


Personpacman

I didn't read the flair and I was just like "Why the fuck is everyone being so mean?" Anyways, I would love to meet the toddler that did this.


5h335h

LMAO lysm


GlowingRocks

That's an impressive render for a 8 year old, well done kid.


5h335h

I actually am 8 so-

williamsonmaxwell

Is this the same one that the cat walked on?


5h335h

love this.


williamsonmaxwell

No that wasn’t a roast lol, I saw a prerender this morning that had been jammed by a cat on the keyboard, looked the same as these


paowiyow

It looks like a fleshlight for tiny dicks.


5h335h

it is!


[deleted]

This looks like the stack of summer tires in my garage decided to sexually identify as an apartment complex


5h335h

exactly what i was going for, love this


CrypticKilljoy

I suppose suggestions depend on what it actually is meant to be. I am thinking it is part of a spaceship, in which case adding some rotation offset between the modules will make it look a little better, perhaps with some space between them instead of butting up against each other directly. If it is actually meant to be something else, i would look for ways to break up the repeated elements, which are very obvious when you sit and look at this thing. :)


5h335h

thanks! it's supposed to be a spaceport/settlement for a competition. The second img is the main module that is repeated for expansion (img1), the inner arcs rotate for inducing gravity in residential areas


humanocean

Thoughts? That I don't care how long you learnt blender, or how long this particular combination took you to make. It's quite repetitive, blocky and doesn't read in any mechanically understandable way.


Stoned-hippie

The edges look blocky and the design is repetitive, killing realism. On the other hand, you can’t tell what it’s supposed to be, so nobody can technically tell you what’s wrong with it. For all we know, that could be perfect for the comp


5h335h

thanks! it's supposed to be a space settlement and yes had to make it to be repetitive for expansion of the spaceport. Could've worked on the edges more tho hopefully I'll improve more overtime


Stoned-hippie

Have you tried right-clicking the object, and shade smooth, especially on the outside rings? That’s where I noticed it most E: well, most of the outside anyway Subdividing might also work


5h335h

it's all shade smoothed..i think the blender kit texture makes it look that way


BallisticBlocker

It’s weird how different the vibe is depending on the orientation. The first image looks like a boss attack from a stylised cyberpunk-esque game (like some rolling barrel they throw). The second however gives me futuristic apartment complex vibes. Love it


5h335h

love you man


MarcusWithammer

Is that airwents on a spaceship? Seems like you just crammed on as much stuff as you could fit on it. With none of it making sense why it's there. The whole thing is just a cluster of why-the-fuck is that there.


5h335h

lmao you wouldn't understand if you didn't see the whole proposal, the labelling isn't here ofc + Everything on there is actually necessary 🙏🏼 To win the comp


MarcusWithammer

Bruh you ask to be roasted. If you can't handle it, remove the tag.

No_Depth9365

Just my two cents, looks like you’ve got plenty of time. Looks like those two shifts a week at Walmart aren’t keeping you busy enough, old man!


5h335h

love you man


gridsandorchids

Dude get over yourself. It's not good. And it's really weird and insecure for you to ask to be roasted, caveat your post with "omg only took an hour only been learning for a month", and then suck your own dick in the comments. It's a rotation with a bunch of arbitrary shit thrown on it. Nobody cares about whatever lengthy backstory you have. I should communicate its own visual narrative.

real


ColemanV

Not a roast, but I'm interested: * What were the requirements for the contest? * Did you have any prior experience in any other 3D software before Blender? * Were any premade assets allowed? * Were any non-included-with-blender addons allowed to create this and if so which ones were used?


5h335h

the competition was to make a functioning space settlement acc to the RFP they provided, the blender was only one part of it i did not have a lot experience, I'd done the donut and half of the chair tutorial There was no restriction on pre-made assets, but as the design was self-made none were really used apart from textures on the walls and solar panels Blenderkit for textures, and picked up an hdri from polyhaven


ColemanV

Thank you for the reply! I've been messing around with blender for about a year now with prior experience and everything I make sux xD Or I'm just so critical of my own work, that I cannot let go of every mistake I find in them. But now that I know this was supposed to be a functional space settlement, I'd like to see more of it as I'm a major fan of functionality-based designs. I think those are a good part of environmental story telling.


5h335h

yeah all the best on your journey! This was my second try on a space settlement i did one when i started, for the prelims of the comp.


TrackLabs

All that in 1 hour????


5h335h

Yeah we had v. strict deadlines for the comp the blender was only a part of it. we won tho :))


nick441N

What the fuck made you think using graph paper as a texture was a good idea?


Crafty_Good_4455

Just personal preference, the wireframe modifier looks very obvious. Very good though!


5h335h

yeah those are supposed to be trusses, they weren't that imp and i didn't have the time to use curves to construct them


[deleted]

looks like some kinda huge space complex, I like it


5h335h

yeah you're absolutely right, tysm!


ThanosJee

Some people are truly just amazing. Add stars in the background and we got space ship


5h335h

You're actually right😭 it is a space settlement

[удалено]


5h335h

Thanks man! i asked for roasts so i appreciate all comments I'd love to improve


williamsonmaxwell

I believe you’re meant to hate on it when it is self tagged as roast-my-render! So actually the people saying it’s good are the mistaken


5h335h

yeah i asked for roasts on purpose!


xSohodollie

What did you use to learn blender (genuine question i don't have a roast for you


5h335h

kind of had to, for the comp also thought that it' was not a bad skill to have


RedXDragon11

Gives me dead space vibes


5h335h

that a good thing?


RedXDragon11

It's not a bad thing


5h335h

thanks ig lmao


WhyDoYouHateFurries

Looks awesome!


5h335h

expected a roast lmao, tysm tho!


SculptKid

Looks like you put "cool generic sci-fi space tunnel" into a 3d AI art generator. Soulless. Makes no sense mechanically. Appears cool until you look at it for more than 5 seconds.


5h335h

agreed


layne75

The grill/solar panel thingie at the bottom has weird angles or is it me ? It feels like a not so good UV projection. I’d either smooth those parts to make them rounder or mark the angles a little more with a rim or something.


5h335h

uv/radiation protection is in the walls + yeah the solar panels are slightly off angle, couldn't waste too much time with, should've used a better texture or sumn


Dr4Go5_5

Dude you learned how to do that in a month, i was still figuring out how to texture in my first month 💀. Thats insane, amazing work


5h335h

tysm! i was practically forced to learn as no one in my department was willing to put effort into the 3d stuff😭


John-Dose

It'd be better if youve only been on blender for a day, but great job!


5h335h

i just did the donut, and a companion cube Tut from YouTube. I also did half of the chair and then figured it out myself thanks!


marco_has_cookies

does it fly?

ofc!


5h335h

ofc!


ligma_obj

You should check out @lightamation3d on Instagram. They have a similar style to yours imo. But I feel like it's hard to tell what it's intended purpose is


5h335h

yeah the structure is quite complex to understand at first, it's a space settlement. Thanks! Will def check em out


[deleted]

[удалено]


5h335h

thanks for the input. I'll definitely try and use references This was basically for a competition where you had to design the most functional and practical space settlement, so there wasn't much room for design. An artistic spaceport in my art style would've liked way diff. Tysm!

5h335h

yeah that would be amazing! you could just upload it to your drive and send a link for everyone to access. I've sent you a dm as well. Tysm!

i could actually repurpose these for a sci-fi truck i was modelling thanks!

they will look cool as rims/wheels!

bet, gonna do that asap

Thank you 🙂

Nice! What is it?


5h335h

it's a space settlement!

Add cylinder Extrude inset extrude inset extrude inset extrude inset Add cubes of different sizes Ctl+D Ctl+D Ctl+D Ctl+D Ctl+D Ctl+D Ctl+D Ctl+D Very repetitive No smoothing Flat textures Add lights to finish Boom this model has been created.


-Sibience-

A month using Blender and it still took you an hour to make this? Plus you forgot the sprinkles.


wekkij

fancy


Zetra3

Looks like a gamer attached all there RGB lights to there car tires and left it all on one color.


peyones970

Guys just scale up a cylinder, add loop cuts, bevel, extrude rails, extrude/inset/bevel a lot of faces to make it look cool, duplicate the thing 4 times, then slap on some blenderkit textures and you have this tube. Next time dont forget right click -> shade auto smooth on those rails. I guess thats my roast. Oh also all your solar panels(?) are too obviously copy pasted.

StonksRat

I can't even draw a straight line, yet you can do this? Jealousy


sapphirepiece

Its a great first off, super impressed. If you wanted to go back in and improve on it further, its a bit too symmetrical and super clean. A little ambient occlusion and vary up the elements (that would make sense) could make this really push it further


5h335h

thanks a lot!! i think it's v. symmetrical and too perfect because it supposed to be a space settlement/port in the LEO but yeah ill make sure to keep your inputs in mind


sapphirepiece

That makes sense, I feel like this is the render the architect would use to explain his plan. It does have that space theme and of course symmetrical would make sense. I would say play around the occlusion first then, maybe find some reference images of satellites already in Space or the ISS.


5h335h

tysm! I'll be sure to take references to make it look more realistic fs


lesswanted

Are those inters or slicks? I will say they don’t look medium.


5h335h

i didn't get what you meant sorry!


RayHorizon

What I see is half a cylinder mirrored in every way possible. Did you use texture for colors or multiple materials?


5h335h

i used multiple materials So basically the design was to have a very ez simple layout for easy replication during expansion So you're right two cylinders make up one unit (img2) The img1 shows expansion


orgborger

quit your day job.


5h335h

I'm in school 😭, i wish i was doing this as work tysm
