Waterworks MCC Headquarters
Added 2020-04-12 06:21:57 +0000 UTC
Made an environment for Dynamo Dream yesterday. It was just going to be a single window, but then I modeled a sort of facade, then realized I could duplicate the whole thing to make kind of a multi-tiered deal, and it was too fun to stop.
You might notice this was made almost entirely out of stuff in the "Pipes and Little Metal Bits" asset pack I posted a couple weeks ago, and if you look longer than a second you start to see little copied-n-pasted bits- but the final shot will probably only be 3 seconds or so in the finished film, so folks won't have long to look :)
It's nice to get momentum back into trying to wrap up that episode! I have a few big tasks left to go, but it really does look like I can release it early summer, which is incredibly exciting. This first episode ended up taking 16+ months so far, which is (as always) way longer than I planned to spend on it. It's a weird exercise in delayed gratification, but the actual gratification of a finished project is always... very nice.
[ALSO- I posted some rain texture assets here a bit ago, but immediately after I did, Cassie Jones commented a rad tip that basically made a third of the video obsolete, so I decided to update the post with improved files/explanatory video. THAT SAID- my brain is, apparently, absolute mush right now, and the videos were a babbling mess, so I'll re-upload everything tomorrow when I have my wits about me! Extreme apologies to those of you who got email notifications! I'll get it all back up quick, new and improved!

That's so cool Ian, 30 years ago I worked at the Manukau city council in the water works department. Our depot looked nothing like that but really wished it did!
2020-08-02 19:58:37 +0000 UTCi could easily watch a 3 hour video of you goofing around with an idea, even if you then decide to scrap the whole thing!
2020-07-11 16:58:17 +0000 UTCAndry! You're here! :D Hello!!

2020-04-12 23:26:38 +0000 UTCI don't this time :/ I started with one, but it made me feel weirdly rushed, and I kind of just wanted to fool around with it (also I kept toggling back over to patreon to respond to some messages and stuff). I do have an extended "full scene" timelapse I should upload soon here, though!

2020-04-12 06:56:27 +0000 UTChow do you make the looks? I mean the color grading.
2020-04-12 06:45:46 +0000 UTCIt looks like a painting. If I didn't know better, I'd say you spent 5 hours doing a paint-over. I also loved the black/white version you posted on IG yesterday. I would love to know more about the painting look.
