how about team shabby chic

[Dave Hudson]

I just signed up to do the fence… I imagine the biggest challenge will be following the contour of the ground. Any suggestions on how to begin?

[Ingmar Franz]

Thank you, @amblender, for your team name proposal 👍. We can collect proposals and then vote in the team the next weekend.

@createtaiwan I’d suggest making the post and railings separately so that it’s easier to make variation of them.

Maybe 3 or 4 different posts and 4 railings, rotating them to avoid repetition.

Probably make that 2 fence posts (4 different sides) and 3 railings (either rotating on the Z (up) axis or along the railings length).

[Vincent]

No sorry @createtaiwan I just looked at the artwork again. Make that 3 fence posts. The ones in the picture are more like planks so that means that there’s only really 2 different side variations to play with. Apologies.

[Ingmar Franz]

Welcome to the team, Dave 😀! I would start with the fence in the sunlight at right:

It’s relative close and therefore detailed and it shows at least one complete fence element. I think, the fence can help later forming the landscape by looking at the angles between the fence and the ground. I would first model these elements so that they roughly match the shape in the artwork and then align with the camera’s perspective. With the house blocked out by Kent and aligned with the artwork you can orbit around the objects and check whether their relative positions in the 3D scene make sense. When I blocked out the house last month, I often had the problem that objects looked well aligned with the artwork from the camera’s perspective but bad when seen from a different angle. 

[Dave Hudson]

Okay, thanks @duerer and @vincav81. I grabbed a file from the Google server called <spice-venders-house_ASSEMBLY (1).blend> which I assume has the camera placed at the right spot. I will use that as my starting point. Looks like the fence does something strange around the back side of the house… maybe one of the horizontal planks is loose or something?

[Dave Hudson]

And one more quick question… I think Kent gave an official file naming scheme last night, but I didn’t get a screen shot in time. Does anyone here have that info?

[Vincent]

@createtaiwan First here’s a quick sketch of how the rear fence ends. By no means topographically correct to the scene, of course.

[Vincent]

@createtaiwan And here’s the screenshot of Kent’s naming convention slide.

[Dave Hudson]

I am also seeing that the part of the fence in the foreground on the right has different proportions in terms of the distance between posts than the other three visual sections. Rather than make them consistent, I will follow Vadim’s art as closely as possible since that seems to be the overall point.

Maybe our beloved spice vendor decided that the fence posts ought to be closer together when there is a shaper curve to the landscape?

[Angela]

I want to do the crate and already have an idea how to do it. I will upload a picture during the day

[Dave Hudson]

A fence is forming…  What do you think?

[Vincent]

@createtaiwan @theluthier I think that this might be one of those cases where we may have to apply some artistic interpretation. Below is my rough interpretation how the right ( of camera view) Foreground Fence may over and around an unseen hill/hillock.
