COLLAB2021 – HQ – Stylized Fantasy Environment

[Shawn Blanch]

Duly noted. I may have already assigned you (wink, nod) . Kent may overwrite me but let’s see where it goes.

[Shawn Blanch]

You’re in. Keith and I will get to work on our own team forum page where you can rampage to your hearts content on the Clay Tiles.

[Ben Nicholes]

Sweet!

@theluthier Looking forward to getting started, hope my registration went through some days ago as well as the google mail today. (EDIT: Just saw the e-mail, looking forward to the stream tomorrow!)

I did some quick modelling of the water wheel to get back into shape, it’s a bit different from the image (didn’t want to do the exact mode as practice) and I didn’t have any idea on the face/tri budget etc. One thing I noticed is that the type of wheel with buckets (my interpretation of the image…) would probably be more usefull if the water is actually flowing down on to the water wheel and fills the bucket. Some references that I checked just had planks that are moved by the water in case of a flat stream of water, but these are details and artistic choice 😉

Great start @legobenj these are looking good – I like that you have some nice variation going on in there! 👍👍

I`m interested in modelling the Crate and thought that crate maybe could look like this.

So not fully closed, but with compartments, to store stuff like a cash register, a weapon to fend of robbers, more stock.

@legobenj Here’s your new Exterior Home my homie from another homie. Check back in the HQ for general stuff but all other Exterior Carpentry and Masonic creations can go here from this time henceforth and forever………or at least until the end of April.

What about the environment around the house?

[William Miller]

Never mind; I found it.

Google Drive email is away and I’ve been having a look through that spreadsheet – gut feeling has me leaning more towards the House or Acessories sections given that I have less experience in the ‘organic’ modelling style of the Nature section, but I’ll wait until the stream before making any solid commitments. From there it’s just a case of choosing an asset that’s complex enough to be interesting to work on but not so complex that I stand no chance of finishing it.

[Shawn Blanch]

@hunter-x cool man

Just about every asset is going to be unique and amazing and it’s own level of interesting and difficult. It’s going to go beyond standard modeling. The lo poly aspect of probably going to be the easiest part but the texturing and baking process will make every asset uniquely interesting to keep most people engaged all month long.

Hey guys I just have question. I filled out the form a couple weeks ago and I didn’t get  conformation email or anything. I assumed I would get it maybe after deadline submission ended but I still didn’t get it. Is this normal or did I just messed up filling out the form lol? Thank you guys for your time, hope all you reading this have a great day.

Hi Wardred, it may seem old-fashioned, but when I was in class for 3D graphics, I used to keep a notebook right next to me and jot down the hotkeys to the software I was learning. The act of writing it down helped my brain make those connections to the material. There are other instructors out there that have made electronic cheat sheets and offer the PDF for just signing up to their websites. CG Boost is one example.

Hiya Bryan, My best guess is that you are in. But to be on the safe side…

if you already have a google account still send in the “Google Koolaid” message just to be certain.
