I did 4 hours of a blender tutorial today and yesterday. Around 45 minutes in it transitioned from blender modeling shortcuts and information to being, essentially, about rendering (it was a donut tutorial) and a bunch of stuff I frankly don't need to do basic modifications. So I hopped in on my crappy existing antler model, and...I'm lost. I'm just lost. This tutorial did NOT prepare me to do even the basic low poly chunky gemstone rock I want to do.
This is my bad, low-poly version. It's based on the stylized lazy way I draw them in more stylized drawings.
But this is what I want: Basically big tapered rocks, with an angled tip at the bottom in a crummy vague antler shape. I'm really not picky on accuracy at all. I can't imagine this is actually hard to model, I just don't have a clue where to start. I can even share the existing model as a base to work off of for scale. I can toss you a few bucks if you need, too (not sure if that's allowed to offer) www.simfileshare.net/download/2965381/Oh, and mine currently don't have a texture, just one of the shaders that kinda makes them shiny. If someone does do this, I'll pay extra if you can make them have an appropriate glossy shader. I've spent years making this sim and this is the first piece for him I can't quite work my head around doing myself.

Oh, yes, that would be wonderful!!! Especially if you know how to make them have the glossy shader like the plumbob or crystals!!!

this is where i'm at right now. i hope you like the shine, edge glow and the shape of the mesh. ( gif here) i've also got an alternative version of the mesh with a little more antlers basically i've got everything worked out except for the colours. do you have any specific request for that? if not i'll probably do swatches from ayoshi's love bomb palette.

Wow, that's really cool!!! I can see myself doing some tweaking for scale and angle (I'm picky and my Sim is made up of 5 years worth of making loads of tweaked cc lol, nothing personal 😂) but the base concept is so cool!!! I can see other people enjoying these a lot too! My only use for them is an obsidian-like appearance, but just conceptually I'd recommend at least the major gemstone colors. Amethyst, ruby, sapphire, emerald, etc. This is awesome, I never thought anybody would be willing even though it's such a free-form idea you can't really go wrong with lol THANK YOU
It's okay if not, but do you think you could adjust them a teeny bit so that they've still got sort of an antler profile from the side? Like this sort of shape:
But no worries if not, I appreciate what you've got so far SO MUCH

i've angled them back a bit further as you requested. this is in the darkest black/grey swatch. i'll also provide a recolour template with the final package if you want to change the colour. (no shine in the studio preview but i didn't change the specular so it should be the same as in the gif from my last post) of course i understand that you will want to adjust the mesh to your liking, obviously i can't make it perfect for your character based on just 3 sketches

Yes, no problem, I felt a little bad about proposing doing my own tweaks so I'm glad you understand lol
This is gonna be so much fun to play with :D

dude I am so beyond excited for this, you have no idea. For years I've made the pieces for this guy myself but just couldn't get the motivation to model this myself (I'm more of a model "editor" than "maker" lol) and these look AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you sooooooo frickin much omg
