COLLAB2021 – HQ – Stylized Fantasy Environment

[yukino hatake]

I think the bottom on looks great,  both are nice modelled, but the last one has a more of wood style touch at least from this view. Not even sure where that old dog outpost is :p

still the more i look at the top one , they both look amazing man

I’ll start sunday with some candles and bookshelfs

[yukino hatake]

any tips on how to be sure if you model someting it will fit in style ?
will we try out random stuff and see what is possible to use or will we work with references so we can have a guidance ?
Still not experienced enough so i need some guidance :p

Now that you say that Yukino, looking at Cookie Dough’s model, I noticed it has techniques from Kent’s Treasure Chest Course, so since my stuff wasn’t looking woody enough I started modeling those details in and it’s starting to look cool. And I guess we’re aiming to how the original artworks looks like and all the other reference we’re posting.

@dostovel Wes will probably throw you in jail first:

………….what? I …. I… I thought …. I …I …..I didn’t think there was such a place.

Why did Wes create jail? Why did God create Hell? Why give men the power to create if they are capable of such horrors.

Omar and myself (let’s not forget I’m the scape goat that the community has laid their sins on) will go down in history for being the only users to be place “In Cookie Jail”

Who knows?! We may even get a proper execution in front of the crowd. (I’m picturing the Executioner holding a Cookie axe at the choppers block).

I remember those boards!

Maybe your awesome ape can come out of hiding in one of the rooms or dungeons Omar.

Someone asked about the hidden parts of the environment, like the backside of the house. This was the primary place I was planning for the advanced contributors to be challenged. It’s one thing to create exactly what we see in the artwork and a very different task to fill in blanks while capturing consistent style and spirit of the art.

As far as the skill level for the live streams, I wasn’t really planning on catering to one specifically. Rather I see them more as demos than lessons. Compared to when I teach a Class, the streams are designed more as lessons. For collab stream demos I approach the task simply how I would with professional work. Techniques can/will range from advanced to simple, whatever gets the job done in the moment.

I approached the DOG streams the same way. Does that make sense / sound good?

Likely whatever version is the current trunk version at the time we start (2.91  or 2.92). If a new version is released during the Collab, we will likely stick with the same version we start with. Introducing new versions to team projects is a risk not worth taking unless we think a crucial new feature is worth the risk.

[Cookie Dough]

You just embed an entire video game into it. The front room has that tall skinny guy they use for animations(I don’t know his name) and he tells you what your quests are. Melvin is in the basement with the tools and weapons. You fight against the the animation bots and collect cookies(money).

How long is this collab? are we gonna make it last as long as the Backhoe??

LOL ya’ll are crazy! I mean if the team wanted to carry on without me, I’m fine with that 😅 After April I gotta go dark to finish producing my portrait course. So it’s definitely a torch that would need to be carried on by team leaders.

Let’s revisit this wild idea at the end of April. But if that were to happen, I’d LOVE to see animation tackled. Make the river flow, the wheel spin, clouds move, trees move in the wind, grass move…all the subtle things that will make this scene ALIVE.

7 months later, operation TSFHI is complete.

I want to have a clear list to choose from by day one of the Collab (April 5). I need to dive in deeper myself to dissect the scene and develop a good list. Instructions for choosing will be ready by the time we start.

Of course you can pick whatever asset you want now in your head and you’ll be part of that team when we get underway. So far I’m seeing a decent variety of preference form the registration form. Only problem would be if everyone wanted to make the house and no one wanted to do other parts.

[Kent Trammell]

@dostovel! I look away from this thread for less than 24 hours….Lol I need to be somewhere at the moment but I will check back into this thread later to see what kind of shenanigans you’re up to  🧐
