Free Crayson Baron Von Blanch is gonna make sure this here Foundation will support all Spice Vendery valuables and structures.
Starting with the Corner Stone location and placement:
Alright I have been on the research mill and have come to a fairly certain conclusion regarding the location and placement- orientation of the Cornerstone.But first, a little background history:
“In the past, buildings were designed and built in relation to certain astronomical points of the compass. Ancient cultures believed that the position of heavenly bodies regulated life, fortune, and success; therefore, Cornerstones were commonly placed facing the North East because it was thought this location would bring harmony and prosperity to the building and its owners. The ancient civilizations often performed a ceremonial ritual when the Cornerstone was placed.” as found here: https://www.billwarch.com/blog/the-little-known-purpose-of-the-cornerstone/Based on Omar’s blueprint & the shadow direction given from the Sun (travels from the East-to-West) it would appear that the Cornerstone would go here (The North East Corner) which makes sense for the front of the house. It’ll go at the base of the foundation (probably covered):
I covered this with the Spice Baron leaders and I am pretty certain this is the location but I’ll get confirmation tomorrow.
Image upload for closer look at the foundation. I’m thinking the upper foundation above ground is made of stream rocks that have been cut into an overall defined shape. But the steps definitely look like cement.
HAHA @pfbourassa 😆
Shawn and I already touched on this topic on discord. I do not want to step on your engineer toes, sir. It’s a very unique way to create models like this and I say Shawn, you do you!
Of course a perfectly optimal final model of these foundations could be less than 100 polys…which will probably be about 1% of what you will end up building, Shawn. So long as you’re cool with that, YOU DO YOU!
I can safely say I’ve never seen someone do 500% of the work required. Like I said: A *unique* approach!
@theluthier DON’T NEED GRADING: Foundation_Blanchsb HOMEWORK SUBMISSION WEEK 2
It turned out really nice I think……but I forgot to keep the tiling on during my “scrape rock” phase and I got it just a little bit off.
I’m not putting this on the blend file on my WIP until after I bake it to a texture.
Yes @spikeyxxx My plan originally was to create 3 of these to mix and match and therefore make it much harder to see any repeating pattern.
Mr original thought process here:
The 3 patterns would all share the anchored points. Then I could perhaps use random instancing to let it pick between them or similar…… I hadn’t thought that far ahead.
