vincav81 I didn't have the idea with the Loki rune but I like the idea of such hidden Easter Eggs 😀! We have to ask Vadim harbinger_ua what he thinks about this.
The thing with rune stones is that they will create an additional point of interest that might drive away the attention from the house itself. I like the alternative idea with the mask inside the house. It will both add life to the interior and help us in populating the space with various objects. vincav81 duerer
I like the Easter eggs idea, The Mask mask tickled my brain, I want to do that. And I feel I can see the Bluetooth logo with the Thor and Loki rune.
And another feeling I have is that Vincent will probably join us if the interior of the house happens. Yay.
Thank you, splat21 , for your in-depth explanations and illustrations 👍! That really helps 😀!
dostovel Apparently you are correct in a way about that Bluetooth link. https://www.leverege.com/blogpost/what-is-bluetooth-6-facts
harbinger_ua Yes, a very good point. Honestly I have no idea how big these would be in the scene. I only did this to get it out of my head and get some thought space back.
Only if you, Vadim, and Omar think that such a suggestion might fit with the aesthetic, there's always the option of making chess pieces or mini trinket paper weights. Similar to the Lewis chessmen.
Honestly I wish I could recall who it was that triggered all of this inside my over active mind, but it would most certainly be an ill spent amount of time trawling through the Week 1 Live Stream comments that I can devote to better things.
Although @theluthier Kent could probably make another sculpting course/live stream out of this concept, if he wanted to.
I'd better stop before my imagination thinks of anything else.
Goodnight from Australia. (He wrote, typing at 1:17am) 🥱
I'm honored you put me in the same sentence with Kent and Vadim, but they are the ones that have the overall scope of the project and keep it grounded. If you leave it to me I'll be like statues? sure, an owl? yes, let the owl roll in and he'll be carrying a cement umbrella and ride an unicycle because he can't fly, and he doesn't realize he can't fly because the cement umbrella is too heavy.
Footbridge Briefing
cclementk @the3Dbanana My apologies for the delay, but here's some reference for the footbridge I mentioned during the stream tuesday:
You're welcome to interpret and explore as you see fit but something along these lines should be great. Of course we want this structure translated over to the same style of the art.
I've also saved a placeholder .blend file for each of your here to get started: SPICE-VENDORS-HOUSE/SCENES/MODELS/WIP/ACCESSORIES/ACC_Standalone/
I've updated the "STAN DALONE" team member list here with links to the WIP threads of each team member.
@theluthier
I don't know why it won't let me tag you in the post
it's written with a small d, not D ;) you must be getting tired, this Collab is very intense for you! Thank you for all your effort!
