@RadishofKnowledge Can you sketch cows? Some cartoony concepts for the character would be real nice if you could

2 hours later…

BookWyrm17

02:19

I could too :P And Gwenn. And probably a bunch more of us. But only if Radish is unavailable. :D

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Everyone is welcom to send some in

Gives more to choose from

2 hours later…

I'm nervous about similarities to camidandes

I didn't realize that.... I would have said something, lol

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

It actually isn't real similar in execution

8 hours later…

BookWyrm17

12:27

Heheh :P I think its different enough

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Hows that coming along? @RadishofKnowledge did you want to draw a cow sketch to get that rolling? If you don't someone else can.

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

13:14

Could you please explain what "that" is in future? :P

BookWyrm17

13:44

:P The mood board, the script, the google doc you were going to put up so we can all watch you... all of the above :D

2 hours later…

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

15:16

@BookWyrm17 I was going to copy-paste when I am done, but I guess I could put it up sooner

The moodboard is coming along, harder to find pics of the style I want than I thought, even though it is common

More so than I thought it would be

So, first of all, everyone watch Big Buck Bunny:

BookWyrm17

Cool :D I'd probably better to have it up sooner than later so we can move this along, even if we are ust starting the beginning. (Oh yeah I love that short :D )

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Yeah

I think i will make a very quick rough draft so we can start to see what we need to work on as far as assets

The character design should start as soon as possible, and doesn't need the script a whole lot

BookWyrm17

Perfect. The details can be filled in later, when we need them

1 hour later…

Hello

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Hi!

What brings you here? Interested in helping?

TARDIS Maker

17:02

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ So you're officially directing then?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Well, IDK, nobody else is :P

TARDIS Maker

17:21

You're directing

Feeds

TARDIS Maker has added NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ to the list of this room's owners.

BookWyrm17

Great! Lets get this pulled together! :D @NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ you have something for us to start on?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Well, we need to get the character design going, so anybody good at drawing can make some concepts. Basically right now we need to start doing research, and seeing what exactly we need and getting some reference.

TARDIS Maker

Well, the only people that I can think of that are good at drawing are gwenn and radish

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

yeah

Well, I will start getting some assets in a list so we can start targeted research

TARDIS Maker

17:32

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Have you put together a proper script? (properly formatted and stuff)

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Okay sounds good

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

@TARDISMaker Not yet

TARDIS Maker

Okay, we might want to put that, or a story board together before we start trying to figure out what assets we need

It should help solidify everything

So that we don't start making something that we don't need, or we design it in a way that doesn't fit the story

BookWyrm17

Heeey I'm OK at drawing! sorta

Yeah lets get that script up :D

TARDIS Maker

Well, you can make some concept art too :P

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Cool

TARDIS Maker

17:35

I wish I could, but I'm just not good enough

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

I will start kicking that script into high gear

BookWyrm17

YAAY

TARDIS Maker

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Cool!

BookWyrm17

18:03

OK So i do need a little input here. Is it a fat cow, or a skinny cow? Is it a COW, or a bull? and how exaggerated do we want it?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Semi cartoony, not real fat. At this point make a few very different ones

BookWyrm17

sounds like a plan

BookWyrm17

19:05

Soooo apparently I dunno how to draw cows...

As seen from a half hour of weird looking four legged things

TARDIS Maker

I want to do something on this, but we're just to early on for anything that I can help with...

BookWyrm17

What were you thinking of?

and where is @Gwenn and @RadishofKnowledge ? We need some good cow art out here :/

TARDIS Maker

19:32

@BookWyrm17 Nothing... I just want to make something in Blender...

BookWyrm17

19:52

:P You could start modeling a field. Thats probably basic enough that its not going to be a huge design flaw

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

We need some computationally cheap grass, you could work on that

gandalf3

20:19

What's wrong with computationally expensive grass? :P

What if the cow finds out we're skimping and only going with the cheap stuff!?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

lol

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

20:57

So, here is a real rough draft of the script. Any input is welcome: docs.google.com/document/d/…

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

21:09

I will be back to review the document and see all your suggestions in a bit, gotta go for now.

TARDIS Maker

21:24

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Which of those is the kind you're thinking of?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

The top one is like a platinum version of the one I had in mind

TARDIS Maker

Okay

That's what I was thinking of also

I should probably not be bringing stuff like this up at the moment

We're not quite into that stage yet

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Not quite, but I am glad you are thinking of things like that

So, tomorrow when the dust settles I will revise the script and we will see what we've got. We can probably get a main asset list together fairly easily.

TARDIS Maker

Yeah

gandalf3

21:49

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Very nice script!

Even despite being a draft

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

22:46

Thank you
