Collab 2020: Modeling Heavy Equipment (Backhoe)

[Kent Trammell]

I only worked on one rotten tomato of a movie and it was a bummer for sure. But I’ll bet one critically acclaimed project makes up for 5 bad ones.

Guys!  @CaterpillarInc Liked Wes’s tweet!

This is a real artwork 😀 , damn looking complicated 😮 

you all did really great work 😀 and Kent amazing work for starting this project and doing that final animation render.
a really beautifull piece 😀

@adrian2301 nearly forgot to respond – I added the final export of the showreel (~400 MB lol) to the shared google drive directory we used for the project. The highest quality version in the world! Just don’t mint it as an NFT 😉

Thanks @theluthier , so far I have used the link from CGCookie channel on YouTube on ArtStation and shared on Twitter. I wanted to post it on Instagram, that’s where I have my main fan base, (my mom follows me on Instagram), but the max. length of video on Instagram is 60 seconds. I’m reluctant to chop up the video. I may just use a few images and link to the video on YouTube.

By the way I have already been asked if I can GIVE them the model, I have not even responded to this request. It’s not mine to give. My intentions are to get maximum exposure for the video and the entire Dog Pound, if I or anyone else gets a job offer of the back of this , I’ll be happy.

Thanks a million to Kent @theluthier, Jonathan @jlampel and Parker @pfbourassa for bringing our DOG to life  👏👏👏🤝🤝🤝!!! Awesome video 😀😀😀👍👍👍!!!

[Ingmar Franz]

Just a commemorative post 😉😀! I’m walking down memory lane 😊 . . .

The DOG POUND gets a job offer!

Greetings, Dog Pound. Wes received this email inquiry based on our DOG:

We’re not taking it but this adds a pretty cool layer of legitimacy to our work 🤘 🍻

[Shawn Blanch]

That is awesome! Did CGCookie respond by saying thanks for the consideration? Just cool to think we are making that kind of impact.

[yukino hatake]

wow that indeed is wonderfull. just knowing they asked feels so great. But you guys sure deserve that respect, all that you accomplished is so wonderfull 😀

[Omar Domenech]

Somehow that brought to my head the memory of Kent reaffirming Blanch in the livestream first time we found out “wait you really work for KAT?” and we were like wait what!?

[artifact]

Ain’t that something! Great to see the Dog still getting some love!

Hello
I would like someone here on the forum to answer, which computer setup was used to render the excavator animation.

[Omar Domenech]

It was a mix of Blender’s Cycles and Eevee. The environment was rendered in Eevee because it took so much less time to render and the actual excavator was rendered in Cycles, and then the shots were composited in. Kent made this gif to show it off a bit.
