@vincav81 I very much like your drawings of Michael patroling on the bridge with his searchlight eyes 😀👍! The poncho is a good idea, maybe it’s a magic poncho that can turn Michael invisible if he wants this 😉. And the bells could play a melody expressing bishop Stumbers’ mood 🎵 or could give the alarm if there’s a danger🚨.

LOL these baron persona’s are glorious

[Kent Trammell]

I’m so impressed with your writing skills @dostovel! I couldn’t agree more with @ullreym. Such skills will at least benefit your CG work tremendously if you let it.

Overall I get a very clear picture of the spice vendor. You’ve done a great job fleshing out this version’s personality and motivations. If I’m honest though, there was a disconnect for me between this version of the vendor and the charming home he lives in and operates his business from. There’s a lot of emphasis on exploration and travel – in other words being away from home fulfills him the most. I wouldn’t expect a person like that to prioritize his home life or his home to such a charming degree.

<my-opinion> The voice-over narrator idea we discussed in discord pushes against this a little imo. If a narrator is going to reminisce so fondly over his home, I see more of a Hobbit-like posture in life: Home is where he’s happiest. He has “no use for adventures. Nasty, disturbing, and uncomfortable things. Make you late for dinner!” Of course he travels when he must, collecting spices for his inventory, but deep down such travel takes him from what (and who?) he loves most. His business makes him a well-traveled person but this fact has primarily served to grow his love of home. When on the road he’s motivated to get back home and passes the time reminiscing about Vadimspice Mercantile Homestead. </my-opinion>

Does that makes sense where I’m coming from?

Here’s my start at making an Owl-themed candlestick. 

The base is approximately 3 inches in diameter, which is based off of a real life candlestick that I’ve taken some photos of for further reference.

Basically this is just a “keep me sane” project until there’s further word on organisation of working teams(?) for the interior.

I’ve just got to keep reminding myself not to get too detail because this ahs still got to be baked down to a low poly version. 🤪

[Omar Domenech]

Looks like it is going to turn out great.

You can start full steam ahead, I think we got the block out down. So go go go!

[Ingmar Franz]

It’ s already looking very promising! I can barely wait to see the finished candlestick. The beer tankard is also an eyecatcher!

[Vincent]

After real life, general procrastination, and loss of interest I’ve gotten back to doing something about the candlestick. Admittedly it not much — feet, eyes, object colour — but I think it’s in a better place to start sculpting than where it was before. 

Goodnight all.

It’ll get you pumped up when we’re finished with the main structure of the house and PDF presentation to start populating the scene. When it starts to gets crowed with stuff in there, my hope is that we get an energy jolt and we start producing some cool stuff. I’ll link your owl candle, sync it to goggle drive in the WIP models interior folder.

[Vincent]

Progress after about an hour or more (give or take) of sculpting.

Nothing too detailed because A) I think I’d go crazy trying to get details just right; and B) given how small this may actually end up looking in the final interior fly-through.

Also he’s appeared to have grown a little moustache. And bushy eyebrows.

Next will probably be joining the geometry and making a lowpoly mesh to bake down the details.

Well, maybe the final video won’t necessarily be a fly-through, we might end up using static shots. It’s too son to tell but maybe we could all do shots and see if they make it in the final edit. It’s an Eevee render after all, we can all do renders. 

The candle is taking good shape. Love it.

[Vincent]

And here it is with some rough sculpting on the candle added.

I think might re-mesh the owl and base together to make one object, and keep the candle separate. Unless anyone else has better ideas?

[Omar Domenech]

Keep the candle separated. It looks great, really melted.

[Ingmar Franz]

@vincav81 The melted candle pleases me 👍! I would keep it as its own object. 

PS: Did you see Kent’s livestream on candle modeling here?

[Vincent]

@duerer No I haven’t seen Kent livestream, but I will check out thank you.
