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!

Not to mention growth.
Oh no, 10 minutes till launch break is over
Unfortunately, I think you're right Omar. Most folks just don't see any kind of art as "work", and never think about the time and effort the artist put in.
Yup I am with Omar. This is rec time. And at least I have had a direction for the last 8 months lol
In this way it mirrors production and every big/noteworthy project I've ever done
To speak life's truth's you have to be a comedian
Those were the exact words of one of my professors my senior year. He was a comedian but joked about the truth of life often.
I'm actually surprised the team has gone this long.
I'm definitely drained and ready for something new. But, man, am I proud of it too ✊
Since I have an 8 to 5 job and no one I know in real life knows 3D, for me doing the tractor is fun time, recreational time
Yeah maybe people are all drained from the tractor, it's understandably so
