Stevonnie / Pearl Update: 3D Backgrounds
Added 2016-09-22 19:16:14 +0000 UTCSo I decided that I really wanted something in the background of this image, more than just some color block or abstract patterns. So, I'm modeling the beach house from Steven Universe in 3D, which I started in the stream last night.
One of the challenges of building a 3D environment of something from a television show (especially a 2d show) is that there can be a lot of inconsistencies. In a lot of the reference images I used, the scale of things varies wildly from one shot to the next. For the perfectionist in me, it can be a bit maddening, and forces me to make decisions in order to make everything work.
Big thanks to RelatedGuy (the artist who drew the picture) for helping me do some research and draw out a floor plan!
I'm pretty excited to get this model built, since I'll be able to re-use it in the future. Maybe I'll even get off my butt and learn Unity, and make something with this as the environment. :) But for now, I'll be using it to create the backgrounds for this and any future SU animations.
Oh, and I'll make the model available once it's finished, for anyone that wants to use it.
