COLLAB 2021 – WIP – duerer

[Vadim Zaitsev]

After watching the vod of the 1st stream I have a feeling that some kind of a q&a session would really benefit this whole collab as there are a lot of questions about less obvious things in my artwork. But I’ll do my best to answer allof your questions here.

1) Yes, all the roof slopes are symmetrical. Any distortion might come from the camera angle and perspective.

2) The creek flows from the mountains towards the viewer. To be honest at the time I didn’t think about the ground level being lower behind the house would make it impossible to work like that. So I guess reversing the flow is a solid option, but it would affect the spin direction of the wheel which I’m not too happy about. I heard there were some suggestions about the dam, but I’m not exactly sure how it would solve the problem.

3) Just modeled one tile, duplicated to make a column, adjusted angles and such, then duplicated columns along the slopes. That’s pretty much it. Nothing fancy.

4) Yeah since I didn’t think about the interior when I worked on that piece, I kinda placed the chimneys so they would work well with the overall silhouette. And now I guess I’ll have to figure out how to make them work inside the house as well 🙂

5) Yes, I imagined the bridge to be behind the house. I’ll try to make a general plan of the area tomorrow to indicate where everything is.

6) I didn’t plan to make any garden as my spice vendor gets all the spices from his journeys, and those few that he cultivates himself, grow in the oriel that you can see from the back.

Yeah, I have a feeling that when I’ll start working on the interior I’ll need that Harry Potter spell too xD

Thank you, Vadim @harbinger_ua , for your answers 😀! This really helps with the creation of this beautiful fantasy world 👍! Those team leaders I’ve spoken with so far agree with me that it’s possible to make the creek flow from the mountains while still following the artwork. 

[Vadim Zaitsev]

Awesome news! It really makes me happy that we can keep my original idea and actually make it work despite it’s flaws. Dunno if Kent @theluthier  would be interested in making a q&a session if there are any more questions left, and if not, I’ll be happy to provide any additional information here in forum threads.

@harbinger_ua we actually did already talk about it here in the last casual livestream but haven’t yet voted on it or begun to model anything. We wanted to wait for your statement. @blanchsb linked an image of a tiered waterfall which is from this article here. I like the idea of a waterfall in the forest. It could be there where the green trees in the mid-background indicate that the terrain is rising again with some foothills:

@harbinger_ua Do I see it right that the first level of the “Mill Tower” can only be accessed through the bridge since the mill wheel mechanism wouldn’t leave enough space for full stairs (maybe just a ladder leading to a floor hatch for an emergency ?)?

[Ingmar Franz]

@harbinger_ua there’s another waterfall presented here by the same other whose article that I’ve linked two posts above.

Failing any Harry Potter spells, there’s always the option to call Gallifrey Construction, TARDIS Division, for tips. 😉

@vincav81 We need a teacher for learning more magic spells 😉🧙‍♂️!

[Vadim Zaitsev]

@duerer yes I was thinking of a more steep staircase along the left wall. Since it’s a production part of the house it doesn’t require anything fancy.

Homework Submission – Week 1 – Chimneys

@theluthier This is my first homework submission for the Collab 2021:

[Shawn Blanch]

So glad you are working on the Chimney. It’s looking great so far.

[Ingmar Franz]

Thank you, @blanchsb  😀 ! I’ll make them emit smoke  😉😁!

[Kent Trammell]

Looks great, Ingmar. All the work you’re doing on the house is fantastic.I’m still shocked by how closely you’ve matched the art.

Of course you’re getting full points and then some for week 1. I can’t wait to see the chimney stones with sculpt detail 🤩

[Ingmar Franz]

Thank you, Kent @theluthier 😀!

A second version of the veranda (WIP) that allows windows at the backside of the house:

I’ve also made  the bridge arc run until close to the right side of the house in the image above as described by Vadim @harbinger_ua in this thread. Please note: This veranda is just a personal try, nothing official that will be implemented in this Collab2021.
