📢 Announcement #4: Closing Thoughts!
Final Livestream finally archived
It only took 2 weeks to finally add chapters and archive the stream, but it’s available to watch now. It was a really good time experiencing the “final” result with everyone. We also talked about some important info and some fun demos, so check it out if you missed it live.
XP has been added to everyone’s account
I calculated everyone’s totals and added it to your accounts! I know it’s just a digital number but the XP is a simple way to commend work accomplished, help given, and when some goes above and beyond expectations. A LOT of XP was given which means a lot of work was accomplished, a lot of help given, and a lot of pushing beyond expectations. I think that’s quite meaningful! Well done everyone 👏
As you know this Collab format is still very experimental. We learned a ton from this experience about what can be improved. We’re also very keen to hear from you. If you would please take a few minutes to answer some questions and give your feedback, it would be extremely helpful!
The Project continues with the Interior!
Hopefully everyone knows by now that the project is continuing to the inside of the Spice Vendor’s House. Omar is leading that team, just like he did in March before the Collab officially began. During the last stream I was so encouraged to see the enthusiasm and number of people interested in joining the interior effort! I truly cannot wait to see how it develops.
Officially I’m hands-off for this effort to focus on recording my portrait course, but of course I will be lurking on discord and the forum thread to witness the progress 🤩
Look for the true Final project in 2022
The true final results from this project will be a 100% complete .blend for everyone to download and enjoy in the Blender Viewport as well as a super-cool rendered animated video (where everyone is credited) for Youtube. I know it’s lame to wait so long, but look for updates about this in early 2022.
I’ve compared this Collab to real productions and this is another example: Waiting a long time after work finishes to see the final product made public 😅
Final Thoughts…
The Collab format is something of my “baby” and thus very special to me. Teaming up with CGC members to create something challenging is a unique and rewarding endeavor. It also boosts my relationships with each of you: The people that support us; the people that make CGC possible.
Thanks to @harbinger_ua for inspiring us with your art and input along the way. Thanks to @jlampel for joining as co-director. And thanks to each of you for joining Collab2021. I truly hope it’s been a memorable, educational, and worthwhile experience 🤝
