@beefkeef I really love that sweater, gloves and cocoon on his head) reminds me of Dune for some reason.
Great!
As for these straws — why don’t you fake it with textures? Just make a plane and texture it with a really neat high res texture set. Use alpha-channel on the rim. Maybe play around with displacement too.
Cause even if you bring all these 20 000 straws up to the scene I think there will occur some weird clippings / intersections with shoes anyway. Plus all these straws will add so much visual noise.
Keep the focus on a gnome and leave the floor as simple as possible. Just enough to be a solid representation of the ground.
Hope that helps, Keith)
