Hey all, it's been a looooong time since I've shared anything. I've seen a lot of great work here and it's inspiring me to post again. This is a helmet I made solely in Plasticity. For the renderings I used Nano Banana. This helmet is being manufactured now and should hit the stores next season. :-)

Concept sculpt from a polygon model blockout. Created with Blender using some of the hardsurface brushes: scrape, trim, flatten and crease polish.

Finally finished a quite long and a bit painful course by Kuechmeister Swagger (available on Patreon 40 tutorials of 45 min each in avarage). I wanted to try something more advanced using Studio features. And honestly it really was not easy for me. I learnt a lot new techniques because there was a huge amount of material. However it is not actually a traditional course but more like master class. This was a downside I struggle the most and had to solve problems of misunderstanding. I mean in many places the author didn't explain his intentions and advantages of his approach. If you compare amount of explanations in Nikita course then you will find only 10% of what should have been explained for E-tron but haven't. So I 100% won't recommend the course for beginners 'cause it definitely will be hard even for intermediate level. But for advanced users it is a good choice to level up skills. XNurbs, Square and Align commands are widely used, also Deform - a couple of last lessons. Here is an interactive model sharing (can be slow on laptop, so it better to disable Render mode) https://share.plasticity.xyz/r/PioAKq4BAeiLlB8SyRyBoAIT-UE0J9d3s8rHOgAY06E

I'm just looking for some general advice on some of Nakita's courses. I'd love to buy the Everything bundle, but that's not currently something that I can afford. So moving into what I can afford, I've been looking at the Surface Modeling Ultimate Bundle. I am new to Plasticity but not new to 3d modelling. I've been using Blender off and on since 2.6 and a bunch of others like Silo and Lightwave3d. The only other nurb modeller I would say I'm somewhat competent in is FreeCAD. I'm just wondering if the surface modelling bundle would be frustrating to try without a super solid background in Plasticity. I've been watching all of Nakita's youtube videos and with others I don't feel as though I'm a complete noob at Plasticity. Just looking for feedback.

Hi everyone! I'm Abhik, a 20 year old industrial design student based in Ahmedabad, India. I discovered plasticity and Nikita's courses earlier this year, and now I'm happy to be part of this community. My setup is nothing special: my M2 MacBook Pro, Portronics Hydra 10, Logitech M650L, a whole lotta junk to keep the creative juices flowing! I hope to be able to get a monitor soon by freelancing here and there, which is why I'm focused on improving my form development, CAD modelling and visualisation skills. Excited to learn from all of you!
