A while back before the Steem/Hive War I was experimenting with some semi procedural setups for some snow capped mountains in Cinema 4D and Octane. After a few tests I made a video tutorial that I figured could be a decent onboarding/advertising tool for at the time Steem. I just checked before posting this and the video is at just under 4.5k views. Unfortunately I'm pushing people to Steem and not Hive though. I'll need to do a few more in the future with updated advertising info. Also a good strat for artists that want to help with onboarding. I see a lot of tutorials or process videos posted in OCA. Drop a shoutout to Hive and OCA in there to help with the cause :)
Before I made the tutorial I'd also made a quick video going through the setu to show the variety you could get with the technique. Here's that
Also before I got the final technique to look the way I wanted, here were a few previous tries.
Life updates
So I've been a bit MIA actually and I've mentioned this before, but for those not hanging on every word of my posts, I moved from California to Texas after having lived in California for about 15 years.
It was too expensive and some of the nanny state laws were getting to be a bit too oppressive for me and my family. I'm originally from Texas and my mother still owns the house I grew up in although she lives elsewhere, so we moved back into that house, although it was meant to be temporary because that house is full of a lifetime's worth of stuff.
So I thought we'd stay here for a few months and save a bit of money, but my wife had other plans and aggressively started house hunting immediately, so we've been doing a lot of driving around and looking for places and all the lovely hustling and red tape that goes with that sort of thing.
Hasn't left me much time for Hive, but I've tried to log in at least once a day and curate. Do a bit of moderation and cleaning etc. What's been great to see is that everything is still running nicely. Some broken rules going unchecked, but nothing too crazy. I'm hoping to be more settled in in the next month or so and be able to focus a bit better, but in the meantime I'll try my best to be active.
Especially on the daily showcase posts as that's how we get a little income for the community, so hopefully I can have a chance to get back on track.
Anyway, hope you all are doing well and staying safe in this crazy world we find ourselves in. See you all in the next post!
Nice! I should be the one doing the same tutorial in Blender hehe!
How big is your childhood home? I think I would have aggressively cleaned everything into safe storage (preferably somewhere in the house if space permitts) and stayed there as long as I could get away with XD
Glad the move seems to have gone well, big moves like that are harder x_x at least when we moved it was still local (half hour drive from our old place). How is the house hunting going?
I remember these ones :)
Sorry about the cleanup stuff >_>
It’s pretty big actually, so even with it being fully furnished and everything we still had room to store all our stuff, although not particularly comfortably.
We actually pulled the trigger today on a house so now there’s just a bunch of paperwork and red tape and hopefully we can move in by early next month 😊
No worries about the cleanup, the bad thing about Hive is that the content gets buried too quickly, but in this situation that ends up working in our favor when it comes to a lack of cleaning 😜
Oh yay :D Bet you'll be glad to be finally settled XD
Just remember it may take a year to get properly settled in (unless wifey is as aggressive settling as she was househunting in which case it may be faster) XD
I didn't think getting buried quickly was a problem unique to hive, but admittedly the only other socnet I spend any appreciable amount of time on is dA and I almost never venture out of my inbox there.
The landscape you have created is very impressive. Really if you are a professional with the 3D and with the illustrations. n.n
wow esto es muy interesante! gracias
This looks great! Good luck with your accomodation after moving out, it must have been exhausting!
