COLLAB 2021 – The Stan Dalones – Standalone Accessories Team

@williamatics You also need to download the “Images” folder (159 MB packed), unzip it and copy it into the folder where you duplicate on your computer all the files from this Collab’s “Google Drive”:

The folder structure within your local copy has to be the same as on “Google Drive” so that all links work properly.  This can be done automatically with the “Google Drive Synchronizaton App” mentioned under “Useful Links” at the top of this thread. @blanchsb has recorded a good instructional video (last link under “Useful Links”) for this app.

If everything is installed properly, then you need to press  0 on your Numpad for “Camera View” since the reference image is there as background image:

And don’t worry, as @theluthier mentioned already in the first livestream, you will have enough time for creating the blockout of your asset 😀!

Hey, @yolopeno, that’s already looking great 👍! I would add a slight bevel on the edges of the framework for that create as Kent @theluthier did with his treasure chest (here a screenshot of my version):

I could not download it because it said I had disabled third-party cookies.  [Insert CG Cookie joke here]  I do not recall ever doing any such thing.  Furthermore, when I clicked ‘learn more’ it gave me instructions for enabling cookies on Chrome.  I use Firefox, not Chrome.  How can I fix this?

[William Miller]

By “it” I mean the main folder, not the Google Drive program.

[Ingmar Franz]

I’ll need to take a closer look on it and ask @theluthier so that you’ll get access to the data you need 🙂!

[Ingmar Franz]

@williamatics You basically need two files for getting the aligned camera with the background image:

1) [PATH_TO_YOUR_LOCAL_COPY_OF_THE_GOOGLE_DRIVE_COLLAB2021_FOLDER]\CGCookie Collab 2021\SPICE-VENDORS-HOUSE\SCENES\spice-venders-house_ASSEMBLY.blend

=> This file contains the aligned camera.

2) [PATH_TO_YOUR_LOCAL_COPY_OF_THE_GOOGLE_DRIVE_COLLAB2021_FOLDER]\CGCookie Collab 2021\SPICE-VENDORS-HOUSE\IMAGES\REF\Vadim-Zaytsev_Spice-Vendors-House.png

=> This is the background image image within the aligned camera [press 0 on the numpad if you’re not already in “Camera View” for seeing that image]

The cookie settings in Firefox can be accessed by typing about:preferences#privacy in the URL header of Firefox:

If download problems should still exist, please ask @theluthier what to do.

Indeed:

 ‘Everything has Bevel!’    

😉

[Ingmar Franz]

I totally agree, @spikeyxxx 😀!

[spikeyxxx]

( I hate it when people say: ‘Everything has Fresnel’, while that is nonsense; Fresnel is a property of light! Almost nothing has Fresnel. Only light ‘has’ Fresnel 😂

[Ingmar Franz]

Precise observation, @spikeyxxx 😀! Do you remember these  guys – I don’t know from which CG Company they were – playing some bank robbers in some kind of commercial where one of these men presses a bank employee onto the stone floor and says: 

“Do you see it? Everything has Fresnel!” I probably couldn’t laugh about this in such a situation and especially would rather think at how I could escape than reflecting about Fresnel.

[spikeyxxx]

reflecting about Fresnel.

LOL

[Ingmar Franz]

Yes, @spikeyxxx, you’ve understood my ambiguity here 😁! I first wanted to write something like “contemplating” or “meditating”, but “reflections” are much better 😉😁!

[Andrea Weikert]

So group name is ‘Shabby Fresnel Chic’ ?

[Ingmar Franz]

@elubie We will have to vote here in the team about it this weekend so that we have a team name before next week’s livestream.

So far the name proposals from team members:

1) Shabby Chic

2) All Access(ories) 

3) Shabby Fresnel Chic 

[Dave Hudson]

So I guess we’ll be putting the cart before the horse… Sorry. Someone had to say it.
