WOW!

[Kent Trammell]

I hope everyone spends a little time perusing the Reddit and Youtube comments. The vast majority are super positive (rare for the internet). Some people are straight flipping out over this! The detail of this model shan’t go overlooked.

I have to say it again: Well done Team. WELL DONE 👏👏👏👏

I’ve been reading the Reddit and YouTube comments as well – I highly, highly recommend everyone do the same!  IMO the confidence boost that comes from seeing those traditionally-tough crowds giving such positive reactions to something YOU helped make is not trivial!

What’s really funny is people on discord who know me have already seen this and I had fans waiting for me when I logged in after work. I felt like a star.

My favorite Reddit Comment of the night:

I feel like this is the perfect intro to Collab2021

[Jake Korosi]

I just keep watching it.  I don’t even know how many times I’ve watched it today…

And sharing it, too!

[Shawn Blanch]

Yup. Everyone I know has been told to partake. Even my dog.

My daughter has already watched it 6 times on her own and loved every minute.

Man, what words to use?? Incredible? Awe inspiring? Watching this and reading the reddit/YouTube comments….can’t think of a better word than…special. We really made something special here, guys. Kudos, everyone. And special thanks, @theluthier , for making it all possible. 🙌🙌🙌

I keep thinking, so this must be how it feels to spend lots of time working on a movie or video game and then upon release day it clicks and people like it and you get all the love… but then I’m wondering, man what’s on the other side of that coin? When you sink lots of time and work and then you show it to the world and it just doesn’t click, your movie or your game sucks and everyone is trashing it, the feeling must be so so horrible. People put a lot on the line every time they try to put something out there, no matter what it is. If you create content for people to consume, you a badass.

Our model was epic, awesome. Thanks to @pfbourassa @theluthier and @jlampel our complex model has been brought to life like something from the Transformers. It’s amazing.

Is it possible to share the video file with the dog pound, on Google Drive, so we can add this to our own social media channels and Art Station accounts. I want as many people as possible to see this, we should all be proud of what has been achieved. Not only for what people can learn and be apart of at CGCookie, but what can be accomplished with Blender. I see a few comments on YouTube that seem surprised that we did this with Blender. I am a massive fan of Blender, and CGcookie, and want the world to know how great life can be.

Step aside Maya, Blender is in town.

Haha YES! I was shouting out DOP POUND members in the YT chat yesterday. There was definitely a sense of “here’s one of THE contributors!” Well deserved.

[Kent Trammell]

I didn’t read it that way initially. Love that one now!
