I'm 99.9999% positive we will be completely finished modeling our DOG backhoe by the time this stream broadcasts! After 7 months in the making, this is a big deal. I imagine this stream will be celebratory in nature, looking over the final model, and demoing either the modeling of the floor mat (which requires all other interior parts to be completed, or possibly exploring what an exploded-view animation could look like.
The demonstration portion of the stream explores the anatomy of an assembly animation. When we have a model as complex as this backhoe, what cooler way to show it off than seeing it "build itself" piece by piece? Though it may appear complicated, thankfully it's not too difficult to animated this kind of thing.
This complex model is a collaborative effort between instructor and Citizen members. If you're interested in the project please jump over to the Forum Thread to learn more!

No objections, @theluthier, you'll do it right π!
No objections, I trust your judgement @theluthier
If the collaborative part is downplayed then the DOG itself becomes less valuable.
And if there are objections they will be heeded π
Or in the "Blender Hall of Fame" π
I will also get approval from the DOG POUND before posting. Make sure we're all on the same page before publishing it everywhere.
we may see it on Netflix one day
Yeah I just feel like you will do it justice. I canβt wait to see the finished demo reel and final render. Keep us posted!
That's the goal! π
we're gonna be famous
