...not my first Blender model, but the first Blender model I ever did without a video playing or open telling me what shortcut/modifier/physics to use next ;). It's the first thing I modeled in Wings years and years and years ago when I began to teach myself modeling. Believe me when I tell you this one made me feel like a virtual noob, but I feel like I accomplished something :P.

Very nicely done Laurie. I like the shaping, and the metallic shader is perfect.

I can't take credit for the shader. It's part of the Extreme PBR Combo 2 addon for 2.80. I bought it because 1-I get lost in node setups and 2-I wanted a way to save node setups I do create and you can with this ;).

Laurie

Ahhh, I'll keep that in mind when I finally get 2.80.

Very nice work, Laurie. How are you liking 2.80, then?

Congratulation Laurie. I understand how you feel. I am not even there in Blender, I am still modelling with video assistance :)
btw Nice render. And I am also lost in Blender (and Poser) nodes

Nice job, Laurie. I know how you've felt about older versions of blender. Glad this one is working better for you.

Very nice work Laurie how do you like that Extreme PBR Combo 2? I actually have it on my wish list with another Definitely Eevee Materials System that I am weight the options between the 2 but again great job and render

Congratulations!

Thanks ;).

I like Extreme PBR Combo. LOTS and LOTS of shaders in it ;). But the nicest part is that you can save what you make in it as well :). Do it once, use it forever. :D

Yep, tho I seemed to have sort of a way with them, Poser nodes still stump me too to this day. Stick with 2.8 tho...you'll get there. I made the fork for a second time today because, well...practice :P. It's gonna hurt a little bit for a while. LOL

Thanks Laurie add it to my saved list of videos to watch nodes is still something I have trouble with and getting my head around granted the new Principled Shader and Node Wrangler have helped some in a big way and they are built in but building your own nodes still a bit of a mystery so again thank you for sharing the tutorial. I will be posting a new thread on Blender 2.8 Fundamentals shortly with a bunch of tutorials by Blender.org for 2.8
