Fan art in the game!

Gooke6's picture
Hello there!
I am Margo Putzeys, a student Game- and Digital Design and I am currently doing my internship with Tale of Tales. I am still studying but I will be entering my Master year next schoolyear.
For my internship Auriea Harvey and Michael Samyn asked me if I wanted to work with the players and make models and concept art together. And with great pleasure I accepted this of course! This means you will be able to add art to the game!

But there are some 'rules' attached to this: If you make a 3D model, pleas send it as an .OBJ file to me. But a .Blender file ( Blender's file extension ) would be even better! But a .OBJ is good as well! As for the concept art you can send a photoshop file, PNG of JPEG.

So what can you make? Well it's like a set that the deers can wear in the game! This set includes: a mask, antlers and a pelt. Both made for the adult deer AND the baby deer. You can (if some of you know how and want to) texture these models by using a UV map. If you do texture them, send texture files as a PNG. ( PNG supports transparancy )
But of course you are never obligated to making more than you like. The meaning of this task is also for me to make stuff, so if you only would like to make the adult deer's models, that's fine by me. I can always texture them, add models, etc.

So if any of you are interested in putting your art or 3D models in the game. Send them to me and I can adjust them if necessary or take a look if something needs to be changed and so on.
You can of course also send your concept art to me and I can realise that concept art into a 3D model which may have a chance to be put in the actual game: The Endless Forest!

My e-mail adres is : Margo.Putzeys@gmail.com. I hope I will be hearing soon from you guys!!

Greetings,
Margo


EDIT: from Michael and Auriea --
To be clear, we want Margo to do ALL of the modeling and ALL of the texturing. Because that is what her internship is about. YOU, players, are requested to send her concept art or point her to already existing concept art (on this very website, for instance). SHE can choose which concepts she models and textures. But WE, Auriea and Michaël, choose which go into the game. We hope there will be many!

That cheetah pelt is fabulous, I love it. I think maybe a luna moth pelt would be cool.

That cheetah concept came out

That cheetah concept came out quite lovely! Being able to add stand-alone pelts, masks and antlers will be so important, I think - while I also love the idea of a full, matching concept/set, I feel like in the time allotted (1 month of internship left) we'll be able to have more new ideas completed and added to the game as just separate pelts/masks/antlers on top of any matching sets that can be finished in time.

Krystal, you are probably

Krystal, you are probably right about that. But if M&A would like to see sets and not separate stuff, I have to go with sets ofcourse Smiling

One last update on the Absolem pelt:



Only the dots have changed with textured ones.

Next I am going to make a pelt again by Terabetha. I am going with Heartwarming Eye

This is so exciting! Whoop!

This is so exciting!

Whoop! Very impressive, what you have made so far.

(edit) I quite like the antlers on this one.
(edit 2) and here... They look a little complicated though. If only I had experience with 3D work. xD

I made a pelt concept, but mostly just for fun. There are a lot of concepts on Tera's blog that would be amazing to see in game... But anyway,

Hi Raktea! The antlers in

Hi Raktea!

The antlers in http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u140/rah-bop/deer8.jpg , look really pretty and interesting. I already saw those somewhere on this site. I do however find them quite complicated to make in 3D. I can always try to make them but I can't promise anything.

I like your pelt concept too! Maybe I will make it in the future! I always post it on the forum so you can keep an eye out Smiling

the grey pelt looks intresting.
i love grey pelts in general, Teras "Melancholy" is also one that i would love to be able to wear. klick

These pelts looks awesome, I

These pelts looks awesome, I really like Riflebird and HummDrumm from Terabetha's concepts :')
And ying and yang. ^^'

Hmmm, if I remember

Hmmm, if I remember correctly, those complicated antlers in Rah-bop's concept WERE in the game at one point, but were removed for some reason. I think that they were considered "too unnatural"?

Teeny Requite by Dapper.

How many masks/antlers were

How many masks/antlers were you intending to make? alongside all these pelts~ just curious! No pressure. ^_^

Agreed with Snowsauria! Would especially like to see HummDrumm. Also Storm, Healed Burn, Kappa.. The list could go on, but they're my top 3. xD

Must. Have.

I can imagine as a fawn pelt it'd look ridiculously adorable, too. :c

Barghest. "Smoke" would be

Barghest. "Smoke" would be more fitting name though, I think... I totally failed those antlers, I wanted them to look like smoke. :/ And with my attention span antlers and masks end up looking terrible, both design wise and coloring wise. Sue me. oTL
I keep drawing those antlers way too far from their actual spot, fffffff---

Kohva that looks amazing! I love the color usage!

As much as I love that black

As much as I love that black jaguar concept, I'd nearly say it wouldn't be used with how close it is to the god cast only BAN pelt. ;~;

Love that Absolem pelt, and the two based on Terabetha's concepts!

What about this bottom black

What about this bottom black one? Please,please. TEF haven't got any kind of dark pelts ;__;

It's so cool to see stuff

It's so cool to see stuff being done like this!
Figured I'd bring something up, because in the past I've done a little texture experimentation myself. I still have the image file, if you're interested in playing with it! Not sure if it helps at all, but keep up the great work nonetheless!
Here's the image file for the texture!

I don't like to intrude with all these great ideas...but maybe some kind of white pelt?? Devout is becoming a pain when spell data doesn't want to work or change, though that might just be me. Pelt doesn't have to be all white just something similar I guess. done with my idea, you can go back to great ones now, sorry. ; A ;

(Quite new to forums, please

(Quite new to forums, please excuse me! I usually just browse and never ever comment on forums.)
So was this 'confirmed'? I'm pretty new to this game and community, I apologize.
But this has me really interested. I really love 3D modeling and working with UV maps so I would certainly try to help if needed/possible.
Anyways, it's really cool to see this kind of thing, it's awesome!

Thank you Margo for

Thank you Margo for organizing this and for the work you've already done!

To be clear, we want Margo to do ALL of the modeling and ALL of the texturing. Because that is what her internship is about. YOU, players, are requested to send her concept art or point her to already existing concept art (on this very website, for instance). SHE can choose which concepts she models and textures. But WE, Auriea and Michaël, choose which go into the game. We hope there will be many!

The game client already has a system that allows loading new masks, pelts and antlers from our server. So you should not need to upgrade to see the new ones once we have made them available.

Looking forward to the additions!

Michaël Samyn & Auriea Harvey.
