Update on the Chocobo farm Layout

Step by step I start to bring life to the Chocobo Farm area ! The overall layout is settled, now we need more details and element to set a more lively place.

All the props are low poly I found on this great website :  www.blendswap.com/ I will save a lot of time taking already-made props to work on the layout, then I will make my own meshes on Blender.

Thanks to DokiPenTech for his splineMesh tutorial, very useful for the fence arourd the area !

IT’S (almost) ALIVE ! First low poly 3D mesh of the farm !

Here is my first 3D object made with Blender ! It’s a first rough modeling but this is probably enough for the level layout. It feels like the project is really taking form in front of me :-)

There is so much work to do on the roof, details on architecture elements and, of course, the material... I will do what Habib Sensei will tell me ! I’m sure the result will be awesome :-) 

Thanks to the french youtuber Dahwar2713 for his beginner tutorial on Blender.

Design for the Chocobo Farm

Hello everyone ! Here is the very first look of the project whith this quick drawing of the chocobo farm.

As you can see I kept the most important elements of the design like the ventillation shafts and the overall location of door and windows. However I redesigned the global shape of the building, add some wooden beam for roof, door and windows structures. I wanted to give some warmth to the farm as a peaceful place.

Next step : 3D modeling ! I did some many years ago but I forgot everything ! I will do it on Blender - because its free - with obviously un bunch of tutorial for beginners !

Bye !

Particle test for farm chimney

Hello ! Here is a first test for the chocobo farm chimney smoke. It is very cartoonish, we will see how well it blend with all the other meshes / texture to come.

First I watch the live stream on UE channel : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ3TIqwqOWY And the serie of videos about Cascade : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZlv_N0_O1gYDLyB3LVfjYIcbBe8NqR8t For the particle I very quickly made 2 500x500 cartoon clouds, just to see how it looks... and that’s not THAT bad ;-)

Next step  : draw more beautiful particles !
