COLLAB2021 - Team S.P.I.C.E.D. - NATURE BG

Hi Adrian!

I'm reporting for BG Bush Clusters.

I've also followed the FG Nature Folks, so we can share ideas. Guessing we'll have to keep our work pretty light and optimized to keep the scene running well.

Hi' I've  signed up for mountains 'O' without the scene file it's little difficult to know how big to make them but I'm sure they can be scaled accordingly.

ppfbourassa , tijnkroon , ddanmelt  , ttiborbleuel , daddios , ketre and anyone else still to arrive, late arrivals are not punished here.

Welcome to the team, so glad you could make it. First task on the list, We need a team name, something spicy, any ideas??

Feel free to ask any advice or questions regarding the background, and if you have any advice or answers to help others in the team it is welcome.

The BeeGees for... BG like background
Or All Natural
Or something like Gaia?
Or NatGeo
Just brainstorming here

hey everyone!!

I'm very excited to join this team I will be working on the BG Tree clusters.

or 'The Spicy Hot Naturalists!!' or not

keep thinking..........

Thanks for taking up the challenge

AAdrian  I'm watching so if Kent lets me I'm so in 😜 ummm lets see "Spicy BG's"

Hi All!  I've signed up for mountain N.  Looking forward to working with all of you.

..oh.. how about Big Guns??!!  :)

Hey everyone! I also signed up for mountain N. This is going to be a challenge for me but I am eager to learn and do my best! Really looking forward to working with you guys.

how about "The Back Ground Boys"? 

Great to see you here. It's entirely up to you how you wish to proceed with the mountain.

Do you have any thoughts on your approach?

Have you watched the Pile of Rocks Course ?

I would suggest starting with a primitive cone, scale up mountain sized (based on the reference, not literally mountain sized) and sculpting details like ledges and cliffs.

For now week 1 is about block out., so a basic cone and adjust the shape in edit mode to match the silhouette in the artwork, then week 2 will be sculpting and detailing.

Good luck

or more like "The Back Creek Boys" to make it more obvious and because there is a creek... idk XD

Ok I see where your going, BG

Hi tijnkroon I had a peek at your profile, impressive, I'm sure the BG Tree Cluster is within your skill range.

@theluthier do we get bonus XP for our team name?

Thank you for the tips.

Im new to the cg cookie community so I have not watched the Pile of Rocks Course yet but I definitely will.

Welcome to the cookie,

The course is older but still relevant, the Blender UI is the main difference.

Part 2 and 3 are what you may need for this COLLAB , Part 2 is modelling/sculpting relevant for this week and next then texturing will be for week 3, so you don't need to watch it all at once.

Thanks for signing up for the mountains.

Yes size is important when it comes to mountains, If you make a hill you can always scale up to match the reference, but I don't think you have access to the file on Google Drive until next week.
