KRЯRL DЯAWINGS: April 20, 2021

The Tuesday Night drawing group of Santa Fe drew together online using Zoom, because of the Covid 19 quarantine. The model was from San Angelo, Texas, and Tanya drew from Florida, above Miami.

Drawings from April 20, 2021

I encourage people to download and alter all the 3D files below -- 210420__GLB_figures.zip (809 KB). They were all decimated into the smallest file size that I could make in 3D Builder (comes free with Windows 10), in a height of about 25 mm (~ 1 inch). Drag and drop individual GLB files into overbits.herokuapp.com/fbxgltf/ to view in the browser in 3D.

I drew all the figures in Paint 3D except for the last two. I drew figure "K" first in Blender, and added more forms to it in Paint 3D. I drew figure "L" entirely in Blender, then colored it and added circles around it in Paint 3D.

YouTube tutorial: Blender 2.8 Add-on Tutorial : Scatter Objects & Make Instances real

Tips when drawing in Blender using the Skin Modifier:

Commands:

Alt Z in Edit mode to see the vertices (transparent view)
M and Collapse reduces the form into a ball
Mark Root in Skin Modifier before extruding

"Mark Root" button,

seems to anchor the vertex point

from which you can extrude and otherwise alter

Download skin.blend (760 KB) to get a head start on making a figure in Blender. Go to EDIT mode.

E for extruding
G for moving one or more vertices
Ctrl A for scaling
Ctrl R adds points on the extruding line (adds loop cut)
Shift D to make a copy of a shape, which can then be moved around
Shift Ctrl B for beveling a vertex

Object mode/Object/Apply/Make Instances Real before exporting, otherwise the figure will not export
***I exported the whole thing as an STL file. That way all the pieces are automatically glued together as one when opened in another program. Exporting as an OBJ works if one wants to export the object as individual pieces. Both the STL and OBJ files opened in Paint 3D, however a GLB file did NOT open in that program.

While I created the last figure "L" in Blender, I colored and added the circles around it in Paint 3D:

I drew the 3 "sandwich," slightly longer poses, in DADA NYC, immediately answering Holly Grimm's drawings:

Immediately after the drawing session John Tollett applied a texture to my Blender created figure using Adobe Dimension:

I rigged figure "A" and animated it in Blender:

John Tollett downloaded the images from my Gdrive, and spruced them up with Adobe Dimension:

So I tried doing the same thing in Paint 3D, and it worked.

I uploaded the first figure "A" to Google Poly so that people can download and remix it. Unfortunately this website will cease to be on June 30, 2021.😢
