The Divine Guardian WIP

[rose yacht]

Spent most of my time gathering stones day 4

DAY 5: planning the mountain shape lol

This wont be the actual shape. This will just be the guide while I laydown the stone

the main reason why I need the guide is for the landscaping to stay on grid. So it will look neat and clean when its finished..

[lusty python]

That looks interesting!

[lusty python]

Curious how it will later look like 🙂 Ohh and btw how did you link your new post in your old one? I would also link my new post then in my old post because of it getting hidden 🙂

[rose yacht]

rightclick then copy link

[lusty python]

Thank you!

worked! 🙂

[tired basin]

The insane Part is that u gather all your Ressources instead of using this savefiles for ressources ppl made

[cunning zinc]

You’re doing great Maeli

[rose yacht]

For now there is no need for that. I want to take my time. gathering stone is a braindead activity anyway.

[rose yacht]

ignore the roaddirt i was just wondering if i can remove the ugly rough black textures by putting it.

Luckily it removes them

this one

[fair snow]

I now understand why you lay out long paths - I think.
Are they like measurements on a sketch pad to match the design in your mind?

[rose yacht]

sandstone and sand is a no no it doesnt cover the ugly black spots

[rose yacht]

Yes, I am making grids; you can make them imaginary. I do this so that I can visualize them better.

these are not shadows.

texture bug i think

[fair snow]

I love the weather in Enshrouded, but when I'm building sometimes the sunlight gets right in my eyes 😁

[rose yacht]

Im currently crafting some fertlized farm soil

wont be enough, But this flower soil can cover all the ugly broken shadow texture in stone.

[fair snow]

well I never knew you could craft it! I always mined it from homesteads - good to know

[rose yacht]

You cant What i meant is fertilized farm soil lol my bad.
flower soil is indeed from homestead.

the farmsoil can also be used for those bugged annoying textures.

[rose yacht]

i hate this texture 😢

[lusty python]

Ohh i got rid of these in some places. Try using terrain block 2 but with earth material

[rose yacht]

yeah thats the solution

[lusty python]

hmmm but the earth one. the terrain block 2 should make a perfect grass blend hmm

This one often helped

[rose yacht]

lol

[lusty python]

earth shouldnt create sand but grass 😄

[rose yacht]

aaaaaaaaaaaa

[rose yacht]

I discovered this seam outlining. To cover the unrealistic seam shadows.

Covering the artificial shadow texture eliminates the illusion of depth. Because when the sun is at a certain place where there is no true shadow to be cast, it makes it look bad.

I'm not sure why they put this false shadow on a flat surface; it looks beautiful, but the game lighting is strong enough to invalidate it.

im done i think i need rest lol

is this oil leak? LMAO

[fair snow]

takes notes

[rose yacht]

mountain look rough when far. Its gonna be covered with houses so it doesnt matter

day 6: gonna make the final measurements at the top then gonna add another mountain at the backside

[rose yacht]

LORE: A bountiful floating island in the middle of a vast wastelands protected by "The Divine Guardian"

Time to finalize the houses' colors and design a main palace and a waterfall scenery in the back.

Here comes the exciting part hehe!

And all will come together with the last piece "The Divine Guardian"

[tired basin]

Love your work

[fair snow]

Thanks to your sharing I have destroyed and restarted my floating Island to try and get it up to your high standard. Thanks for being so inspirational Maeli , I can't wait to see it finished.

[lusty python]

Thats turning out very beautiful! And love these flowerfields.

[rose yacht]

Done measuring the foundations 😄

I can clearly picture now the layers ❤️

[fair snow]

You must have the patients of a saint. 😇
Unfortunately I don't have as much free time as I would like to play the game. That's one of the reasons why I love following builds like yours.
Thanks again for sharing

[rose yacht]

day 6: Gonna farm some more stones then ill go to bed. Good night everyone!

[rose yacht]

day 7: nothing happened, got sick. 🤣

take care everyone! ♥️

[lusty python]

Oh noo hope you get well soon! Quick recovery to you!

[rose yacht]

just made quick changes im going to sleep early today

[rose yacht]

The Divine Guardian WIP

[rose yacht]

Day 8: Trying to pick up my phase and will be doing the broken bridges. hope it goes well 😄

[rose yacht]

this the night view of the bridge. I fell asleep I havent finished the bridge yet

[rose yacht]

bridge base form

[rose yacht]

still thinking about how I will design the upper part. 🥲

[odd crane]

i think if you did a suspension bridge itd take less res and time

[rose yacht]

I cant, suspension bridges are modern than bridges with lots of pillars.

[rose yacht]

im gonna think of a design after Im done with the other 2 bridges lol

[ivory nexus]

I love this broken bridge design

[rose yacht]

1 more bridge to go

[lusty python]

Wow! Love how this is evolving! Impressive! And love the Curve thats on the downside of the Floating island and how its continuing with the bridge

[rose yacht]

I never expected someone to notice it this early but glad you did. 😄 ❤️

[rose yacht]

Time to put some deep bridge pillars so it doesnt look shallow. Though the whole bridge design should look sturdier with the palace since some of it's weight is attached there.

But the entire floating mechanism is from the "divine guardian," therefore it doesn't really matter. Support and foundations were important when the entire palace was still on the ground.

[tired basin]

Dang

I want to be this creative

https://tenor.com/view/drugs-gif-26893586

😆😆😆

[rose yacht]

Day 9: Finished the bridge pattern took me more or less 2 hours.

the bridges are 85% finished since I need the palace to put the last pieces of it.

[ivory nexus]

These bridges look damn good!

[lusty python]

You are so quick! And it turned out beautiful!

[tired basin]

Mindblowing

[rose yacht]

I merely added the bronze blocks and some shield-shaped carvings. It would take less time if I hadn’t fallen several times.

All of the bridges without simple patterns took about 7 hours. A total of nine hours, give or take.

[lusty python]

Oh noo i hope and wish you that you dont fall anymore several times.

[lusty python]

Its still very impressive what you accomplished in this time frame. Its an awesome Bridge Design! And i see my favorite block in there. I love the highly polished block

[rose yacht]

Not my proudest moment i guess 😦

[rose yacht]

Sometimes my game stutters then i go falling.

[rose yacht]

I think 70% of my time went to gathering

[lusty python]

What counts is the joy from building and creating 🙂

[lusty python]

Can relate to that. Especially when climbing it then can easily happen. But what helped me with little occasional stutters was turning the ingame scaling from 75% to 70%. I cant spot a difference with my eyes. But at least the sometimes stutter is almost gone. Especially the little stutter at sunset/sunrise

[rose yacht]

ill try that.

[ivory nexus]

I feel that 😅 I may have not nearly that much hours in it, but still 50h in last two weeks is much for me.

oh wow! thats a long time for the bridges! Nice job!

[lusty python]

Maybe that might work for you. and try looking on the screen with both 75% and 70%. I cant spot a difference in terms of looks 😄

[rose yacht]

Ohhh i experience this too

the stuttering when sunset/sunrise

[lusty python]

with the 70% its almost gone now. So maybe that might work for you too

[rose yacht]

forgot the little detail

the broken chains lol

[ivory nexus]

😄 these look really nice

[rose yacht]

Night view without lights

1 bridge done 2 more to go

[fair snow]

The progress you've made is breath taking, thank for sharing

[ivory nexus]

You really should take a break sometime maeli 😅

[rose yacht]

soon 😢

for a week actually

I want to join your contest but sadly I can't

i have a little fun build ready but my hubby and I will go to a vacation 24h from now

[ivory nexus]

Oh damn :/ Thats sad. But hey, so everyone else gets a chance 😅
But you can join the next one then

[rose yacht]

Forgot to remove the platforms lol

.

This is how it is viewed from very far. Just how i like it. The chains wont be a distraction from the main pieces

[lusty python]

Wow! Beautiful! And the Chains are looking awesome!

[lusty python]

Love the details. Especially then with the broken chains, that are there 😊

[rose yacht]

When in the right distance they appear a lil bit rounded.

few more hours and i can start the palace's shape

[uncut knot]

You're like, my idol

https://tenor.com/view/amazing-gif-24403872

[cobalt geode]

magnificent bridgewalls, the up and down is producing such a wonderful pattern 👌🏻
your attention to details is impressive

[mighty plank]

I've been scrolling through all these pics for a half hour now with my jaw on the floor.

Is this only using one maxed out altar or are there more than one?

I wish I had even a quarter of these skills. My buildings are so blah, but I'm trying new things to get better🥰

[rose yacht]

I am glad you enjoyed it. However, everything is a mess right now.

I hope you guys stick around while I build the next piece. ❤️

BTW ill be gone for a week. 😢

[rose yacht]

#1211002219374059631 message You can find my winning build here.
However, this build appears to have been hurried.

In contrast, my WIP build "the divine guardian" will outperform the latter in every aspect.

[lusty python]

looking forward how the build will evolve over time it looks breathtaking so far!

[rose yacht]

I want to create a western castle, but there are too many here that build them, so in the meanwhile, I'm going to build an eastern-inspired palace.

Good night, Flameborns! I hope to see you next week. I hope that most of them will continue to be active. ❤️ I want to monitor your progress daily, but I don't know if I'll have internet access where I'm going. I'm hoping hubby brings the starlink. But this defeats the purpose of our vacation.

[lusty python]

Good Night and see you next week! have a nice vacation week!

[ivory nexus]

Have a nice Vacation 😄

[uncut knot]

I'm away all week too, and looking at your WIP stuff is making me itch to get home and start on my next big thing 😥 Enjoy your trip! Can't wait to see more when you're back!

[fair snow]

Of course I will be sticking around until the end of the Divine Guardian 😀 and for your next WIP
Go ahead and enjoy your break, we'll all be here when you get back 👋

[mighty plank]

Please enjoy your vacation.🥰 A week off might give the rest of us a chance to up our game until you come back to continue with this masterpiece 😅

[cunning zinc]

Amazing!

[regal whale]

Is there another Contest or is it Just for fun? 🤪

[ivory nexus]

afaik is this project a just for fun project 🙂

[mighty plank]

I believe she's trying to redo the build she did for the contest, but to the fullest of what she wanted/expand on her original idea since she doesn't have a time limit to complete it by. At least that's what I got from it😅

I'm still over here building things like a Neanderthal and wishing I could do stuff even a fraction of this🥲

[rose yacht]

I will not redo the old build. I made a complete redesign of the palace.

Day 10: I'll be focused on unlocking the new blocks!

[rose yacht]

glad im just right in time with the new update

i had to redo the color combinations

[rose yacht]

Im still looking for warm luminescent lights so i can compare

I think the white will look better

[rose yacht]

Spent my whole day farming new blocks. If you guys know how to farm red marbles fast please teach me how. 😢

[ivory nexus]

I think the mobs in the first two dungeons drop them regularly xD

[rose yacht]

The only progress for today

[ivory nexus]

the green blocks fit really good

[rose yacht]

I removed the majority of the blocky parts of the curvy roof.

[ivory nexus]

did you see the round windows and doors? 😅

[rose yacht]

YES!!!!!!!!

i dont have the furnitures yet

Good sir, please give me the furnitures. LOL

[ivory nexus]

what furnitures exactly? 😅

[rose yacht]

IDK really.

[ivory nexus]

for what? 😅 what do you mean? the furnitures to create the windows and doors?

[rose yacht]

The circular windows and doors is what i meant 😅

[ivory nexus]

you don't new workstations for that 😄 Carpenter and Normal Table work fine

[lusty python]

Whoa that's looking awesome! 😍 I need to finally start dungeons too. But I am scared. They look big 😱

But wait.. Is that a green glowblock? 🤩

[rose yacht]

YES!!!

I love the night lights

I hope they add yellow luminscent blocks lol

[ivory nexus]

that's looking dope

[lusty python]

uhmm i didnt even do the dungeons and just saw i am having the warm luminous block already in my workbench. is that supposed to be so? O.o

maybe you have the warm luminous block also already unlocked @rose yacht

[lusty python]

ohhh wait! you have it there! 😮

Thats looking awesome

the more glowing colors, the better

[rose yacht]

The glowing blocks now can blend well with other light sources unlike before.

Previous version blue glowing blocks overwhelms any light sources lol

[ivory nexus]

have you tried the blue now? maybe they dimmed them a bit

[rose yacht]

no 😂 I dont want to put any blue on my build

[ivory nexus]

second dungeon first floor, alone from the breakable objects 12 marble bricks. I think I only hit the big ones just before the teleporter

just one group of enemys. do a flame just before the entrance, log in log out xD

[rose yacht]

Day11: Doing some roof-bending. 😂

doing some next level roof-bending 😂

Totally reducing 90% of the blockiness

[rose yacht]

time to rest :<

[shut oxide]

Wow

[rose yacht]

Day 12: Doing the sides, main palace's depth and some backlogs. 😄

[rose yacht]

I spent all day building the sides.

this is how it look now, ill finish the 1st layer at the back so I can have a courtyard view

[lusty python]

Wow the Palace is looking impressive! Very cool architecture Design! 🙂

[rose yacht]

I hope to finish the roofs today for the sides so i can start layering at the back.

[rose yacht]

I dont think i can finish even one tower today. 😢

I only got 30 mins before my sleep time.

[rose yacht]

Day 13: Still doing the sides. 😄

[rose yacht]

Time for roofs

Still ugly I started the 2nd middle layer already without finishing it. LOL 😂
I just want to visualize the new red marble block, green window and the new warm luminescent block. The light it emits look dreadful with the red marble block reflection, but can be fixed by other lightsources.

[rose yacht]

Also my hubby noticed the ugly green windows. LOL It doesnt sit well with my build so im gonna change it too. Except the "jade" like blocks. It looks good with the design.

[cobalt geode]

i think he's right 😅 👍🏻

[rose yacht]

I havent removed it since Im busy with the roofs. lol
In my defense i just tried the "new" blocks hype 😂

[rose yacht]

Took me literally 1.5hours to learn how to replicate the curves

And the subtle curve of the roofcorners to the slightly upward point in the edges... I really love this game ❤️

[rose yacht]

Im gonna spend my whole night grinding materials! BYE!!!

Tomorrow, once I finish both towers, I think I'll start building the second layer in the middle.

[worldly marten]

incredible work

[rose yacht]

I need lots of red marble block
I want to try replacing bronze blocks into red marble. white and red blend well together.

Red is one of the main color for most of eastern architectures.

[rose yacht]

Still missing 6 layers for the palace. Hope you see it through. 🥰🥰

[cobalt geode]

the technique for the roof-edges is awesome, the mixing of materials makes it looks super detailed, just wow

[rose yacht]

sadly it doesnt work with other roofs that well, the reason why the single block blends well with the tarred roof is because is generate the edge kinda design.

Im still looking for a smooth curve when it comes to eastern roofs.

my old build is very blocky like minecraft 🤣 and only have the illusion of depth.
while this current build utilizes a real depth with lesser blockyness.

The plan on my current build will not be wider than the latter, but in terms of height it will pierce the sky. 🤣🤣
And the palace itself will not be the "main" piece.
It will be only a supporting subject for "The Divine Guardian"

[rose yacht]

in scale the width of this consist of 2 1/2 maxed flame altars.

the current palace is just 2 altars BUT vertically.

Overall sky build consist of 8 altars.

[cobalt geode]

my respect for this creativity, really outstanding 🤩

[rose yacht]

Day 14: Still doing the sides!!!

This marks the 2nd week of doing this project!!!
(still ugly tho)

😂😅

[rose yacht]

Its time to do the middle

[rose yacht]

ohhh wait i need to replace the bronze blocks to redmarbles lol

[rose yacht]

last 2 stacks 😢

[rose yacht]

I ran out of red marble

After Im done with the palace Im gonna start building the island's bottom to balance it.

[versed drift]

Awesome design, that flying island alone must have taken ages

[rose yacht]

took me 5 days. 😵‍💫

I documented this on my previous post. But they hid it already.

Anyone can do it. They just need time and patience..

[rose yacht]

Since I dont have much red marble right now Im gonna start 3rd layer lol f this.

[rose yacht]

had to go to sleep. i farmed some red marbles then got really tired

[rose yacht]

Day 15: doing some roof-bending

[cobalt geode]

absolutly love these roofs 👌🏻

[rose yacht]

Thats the only attracting thing for me in eastern architectures. Glad you liked it

[cobalt geode]

nah there is way more haha 😅

[rose yacht]

"for me" 😄

[lusty python]

i love the subtle changes in the roof. it looks so smooth! 🙂 and the green color is a perfect match

[rose yacht]

It is difficult to reproduce at first. I kept losing a block or two, which made it quite asymmetrical.

The technique is crank the graphics "Max performance" to turn off the designs.

[cobalt geode]

ok now i'm speechless haha, so it looks different with all settings on high?

[lusty python]

oooh i guess that makes it easier to see everything then?

[rose yacht]

Yes.

[cobalt geode]

ah ok, just for when you build it

[rose yacht]

on higher settings it looks like smoother when far and it highlights the bends

[cobalt geode]

omg that looks super complicated

[lusty python]

that indeed does look very difficult to make!

so many steps

[cobalt geode]

thats some pro stuff right here 👌🏻

imagine we would get a small jade dragon as object, that would fit just right on the edges of the roof 😅

like this ^^

[lusty python]

Oh that would be cool if they would add ornaments

[rose yacht]

I need red marble blocks to continue lol

[rose yacht]

This is the view from the top pagoda.

[rose yacht]

After im done with the palace. Im gonna populate it with cities inside and out.

[rose yacht]

Day 16: Doing the top pagodas.

[rose yacht]

roof done... Took me 3hours The upward bend is more finicky than the subtle bends.

Last 2 pagodas and the "form" of the whole palace will be done

then i will do the walls.

[cobalt geode]

omg that looks so good 🫠

[rose yacht]

1 more pagodaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[rose yacht]

Finally

[lusty python]

Wow! Beautiful! And that was quick! Very impressive. You wrote something about that you want to populate it and do the guardian. Looking forward to how it will look like

[rose yacht]

I realized that the higher you go up the less blocks needed. So i activated my super hyper focus to finish the roofs today.
But theres no walls lol I need to gather red marble blocks for it.

This is the back side view. Literally no walls lol

I just want to finalize the hardest part of the build. The roofs.

[versed drift]

I always admire builders' dedication to farm all the required resources 😄

Must take a while

[rose yacht]

yeah thats the most time consuming part of building. "grinding" but the easiest lol

Im on my 16th day today.10 more hours before the next day.

omfg wrong decision to show the back side lol

I removed all the roofs/platforms just to show the back part clean 😂

[lusty python]

hmm red marble seems to be either a rare or hard to get block? 😮

[rose yacht]

That's true. 😢 So there will be no walls for a while

[versed drift]

High amounts are very hard to get yeah

Basically need to run the dungeons and bonk all the pots

One of the halls had marble blocks in a chest I think. But probably not worth farming it

[rose yacht]

I'll probably go with highly polished blocks for the wall with red accent pillars.

But my 4th pagoda should be "all red"

[rose yacht]

Ill grind some redblocks for 2hours then go to sleep 💤

[uncut knot]

You're roofing skills are unmatched

Roofing in this game is so hard idk how you do such massive roofs with roof pieces instead of blocks 😂

[rose yacht]

Day 17: will be farming for few hours stone and red marble fragments.

[rose yacht]

Time to build the back 😄

[rose yacht]

I need to update the underlying roof beams so it doesnt appear flat. I never knew that's the reason why it took me only 8 days to finish it all.

I did the first batch took me forever. Never knew putting small blocks will be this time consuming and finicky af.

[rose yacht]

Day 18: finishing walls and roofs

[soft anvil]

Mega build ❤️

[rose yacht]

Starting the renovations inside. I must say It is pretty messy 😂 Glad I scaled it properly. Unlike my build before.

[rose yacht]

shadows look better than directly looking at it. Because of some weird limitation with details when viewing from a distance.

[lusty python]

Interesting with the city down there and the shadow, thats covering it 😃

[rose yacht]

I think ill open a new thread and hide this thread. Ill post pictures only.

[tired basin]

Why

[rose yacht]

I want to change the cover photo.

[tired basin]

Never seen any Cover photo on mobile discord

😆

[rose yacht]

Day 19: been doing the interior. No furnitures yet.

[rose yacht]

Done with the very first floor. Made total of 6 rooms.

I'm not planning to decorate it yet, except for lights.

[lusty python]

Lights so expensive

[rose yacht]

Yeah if you noticed the intervals between my posts spent all of that time farming.

Day 20: Interior building 😄

[versed drift]

Gets better and better

[rose yacht]

day 21: Interior building 😄

I need to finish the interior to finalize the exterior attics and windows.

[rose yacht]

Who said you don't need beams and pillars in enshrouded? 😂 You don't

[dusky trail]

https://tenor.com/view/what-confused-persian-room-cat-guardian-gif-11044457

gravity what

[rose yacht]

Time to put floors ❤️ But first i need to grind lots of logs and clay lol.

The very first pagoda consist of five levels/floors.

Enough room for the main hall to have a "statue"

Main hall center piece is a must for a massive hall like this to fill the empty space in the middle.

I want to add a dragon statue spiraling down a pillar, with the pillar cutting through the entire structure leading up to the finial.

But I dont think it will be enough space. hmmmm

🤔

[soft anvil]

maeli! that looks mega inside!!

[rose yacht]

day22: Still building interior. (Not designing yet)

[rose yacht]

No banners no problem.. 😄

Time to put some floors

[cunning zinc]

You’re crazy ||in a good way||

[rose yacht]

Im just trying to fill the emptiness inside me.

I mean this wall.

[hot talon]

crazy project op ! 😮

[rose yacht]

Maybe its time to start the cities to balance the whole floating island. Interior building is tiring me out. 😢
I need a fresh routine.

[hot talon]

dude this is insane. how many hours of mining are you doing? 😬

[rose yacht]

Lots of lots of mining, woodcutting and bonking the jars in hallowhalls.
if Im going for an estimate more or less 100hours in grinding..Im doing it while watching "onepiece"

[rose yacht]

day 23: I need a new regimen!! Rather than creating the interior... I'm going to start building the road system.

[rose yacht]

Done with the roads.
Still rough af.
I need to mine limestones for island's bottom 😄

[rose yacht]

Everyone doing their old little cozy houses and interiors. While I am creating a masterpiece here. 😂

just kidding.

the masterpiece**

[rose yacht]

If someone is wondering how I do it. Just like how I did with the base island.. But instead of spiral running for 5 days. Im running in a V shape for the big chunks of rocks.

[fair snow]

I have just come back after two weeks vacation.
Your build has progressed amazingly, it looks fantastic maeli 💯

[rose yacht]

Welcome back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tired basin]

Holy moly

[rose yacht]

Update: I reset the save file after my husband suggested that I build before adding the general terrain form. So, instead of putting builds and adjusting it into the terrain, I will place buildings with the terrain like a jigsaw puzzle... Hes smart lol 😂 That way I can manipulate how the rocks will look. Because generally it look ROUGH AF

[lusty python]

Oh my god! Beautiful view! 🙂 Thats interesting what you are doing with the terrain. 🙂 Am currently ill so ill be not back for few days but am looking forward to whats to come next! Great work meali! Beautiful palace

[rose yacht]

I reset it tho. Since my hubby told me to do it along with the buildings. So I can manipulate the terrain better... BTW get well soon!

[lusty python]

Thank you! Ohh interesting. Looking forward to it! And have fun with the building and terraforming!

[fair snow]

I don't understand what you mean. Did you change your mind about your latest progress, then change your mind and loaded your last file and loose some work?

[rose yacht]

Indeed. The progress of changing the island's bottom, as seen in the most recent screenshots.

[fair snow]

ah, thanks maeli I have backed up my files regularly but have never had the need to re-load, but I am sure if I ever don't bother backing up, that'll be the time I will need to reset 😏

[rose yacht]

I always backup before I make major changes with the build. For easier cleanup.

[rose yacht]

day 24: Inspired enough to continue interior building 😄

[rose yacht]

"ancient divine dragon palace" WIP

[agile iris]

amazing 👏

[rose yacht]

day 25: Cleaning up

[novel finch]

I'm very impressed by your stamina and dedication btw 😅 looking spectacular ✨

[rose yacht]

working with the backside

[versed drift]

Majestic

[rose yacht]

The entrance into the 1st noble city... The thing is theres still no city yet. And the entrance is not yet polished. 😂

Every light is visible from eyes whenever you go. I can easily manipulate how the scenery will look... Specially with the new warm luminscent blocks 😄

But the cave is rough and the place is dark. will take some time to polish everything.

[mighty plank]

This is wild. I would pay you $20 at least, for a copy of the save file when you're done😂 might as well make some money right?

No matter how much I try, my little brain just cannot do anything other than plain houses

[cobalt geode]

maeli won the first contest if i'm right, i dont think she needs money for now 🤪

[mighty plank]

Ehhhh in this world, you can never have enough money. Just look at the billionaires scrambling for every penny like an addict searching under couch cushions😅

[cobalt geode]

yea true, its none of my biz anyway 😅

[rose yacht]

Day 26: expanding!

[rose yacht]

I'll give it away for free when it's finished; you don't have to pay.
But "when" I don't know. If im going for an estimate whole build is 5%.. large chunk of the progress is the sculpture. Im delaying it because they might release a yellow block in the future. I need that.... Thats the reason why I planned the build for a week before starting then I took a break for another week because I was waiting for that red block.

The thing right now.. Those marble blocks are hard to farm. So its taking time because im constantly saving it whenever i put it.

Im also waiting for that draw distance slider and photomode. People will appreciate bigger things when they can see it from a far. So the whole build is future proof.

Right now... The only beautiful things are the smaller builds..

[rose yacht]

I removed the front bridge for more viewing angle than symmetrical shots.

[tired basin]

The Majin Logo on top of it is 💯

🐉⚽

[rose yacht]

Its my name Maeli lol what is majin? 🤣

[mighty plank]

I think my biggest pain point when trying to build is that your character is almost always RIGHT where you need to look to place things, and it's highly inconvenient. Not sure if that's what you're referring to by draw distance slider, but it would be great if we could manually zoom out even just as much as it does automatically when placing the altars.

It's also probably why I haven't really even attempted anything but basic builds because it's frustrating even then.

[rose yacht]

What i mean with draw distance is the ability to see details from blocks even from a distance.

Some pc cant handle that so with "slider" we can freely choose what we want.

[mighty plank]

Oh okay! I've noticed with the Fancy Stone Blocks, the wood parts aren't visible once you get a certain distance away, and keep making me think I did something wrong with placement😅

I haven't played with settings much but I may have to see if there's anything that could fix it that my laptop can actually handle until I complete my PC build. Thank you for explaining though, there are so many different terms for things these days that I just can't keep up😂

[novel finch]

yeah... really 🙏 for higher drawing distance. my large-ish tree looks really bad outside of the range of the flame altar 😭 (really short draw distance for planted objects... something like 100-150 voxels) ;; your pics of your mega structure already look pretty good, but if we're able to see details rendered from afar? chefs kiss 🤌

[rose yacht]

Day 27: will be doing the main gate and farm more stones

[rose yacht]

When roofs connected properly thats the sign that everything went well LOL

[rose yacht]

ran out of materials.

I love the new 30* bend ❤️

[rose yacht]

Day 28: might finish the main entrance roof layers pagoda.

[rose yacht]

cleaning it up and will be doing some interior and exterior detailing

[rose yacht]

next pieces would be the walls and watch towers ❤️

back side is in the plain side lol I cant think of a banner design for a moment. 😂

[rose yacht]

Broken walls

[rose yacht]

Noticed the banner looks ugly 🤣after enhancing it

[rose yacht]

Day 29: will be doing the "broken" walls

changed the banners.

[rose yacht]

Took me more or less 5 hours to get the base form. 30% of the time goes to falling down. Im sad because they removed tp when falling.

[rose yacht]

Day 30: planning the tower pagodas 😄

[lusty python]

Vukah

Wow! Thats a lot of progress! Beautiful looking! And the idea with the banners is great! The red blocks look so cool The broken parts are also an interesting idea. 😮

[rose yacht]

Lots of progress recently. I just dont upload it..

[cobalt geode]

amazing build so far

[rose yacht]

I've recently started binge watching One piece.
My best part of the build is farming so I can watch. 😂

[rose yacht]

quick comparison.

Left with bend and beams..
right corner only bend and no beams.

[rose yacht]

Thirty days of progress.
I won't be posting images for a while. I want to do this without interruptions.

[tired basin]

Holy moly

[rose yacht]

Day 31: cleaning up everything.

[cunning zinc]

You’re doing great Flameborn

[fair snow]

I was chatting with one of the Devs in keen, he told me that your work is is so good that the next patch they are going to release some cement and mortar so you can fill in those cracks to stop the buildings falling down 😉
Seriously, that is such a good effect

[rose yacht]

When the dragon yoinked the entire palace, portions of the walls cracked😂 as you can imagine, everything flew and the cracked walls magically followed where they were once

[rose yacht]

day 32: made some watch towers.

Atlast! I am down to my last six towers, and then I can begin decorating the entire palace😂.

"finial" / "相輪" Eclipse

Main palace view front view. 😄

back view with the slytherin banner peeking lol

tomorrow i will be adding again 2 towers, A very broken one. For the back side.. It feels so flat. Lol

[fair snow]

😎 👍

[rose yacht]

Day 33: Breaking walls. 😂 and planning next tower.

[rose yacht]

Ideas for this little floating island started flooding in. 😵‍💫

[rose yacht]

at this rate of building and grinding. whole project will be finished in 6months I hope the new update comes before that. Lol

[novel finch]

oh hey i know that place. im building my next vista there above umber hollow ^^

[rose yacht]

Im building my sky base next to it.

we're neighbors!

[rose yacht]

1 more roof 😄

[rose yacht]

Back part!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rose yacht]

Time to sleep. Ill be farming tomorrow Good night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cobalt geode]

gn8 maeli

[rose yacht]

Day 34: I need more stones!

[rose yacht]

Too many stones and logs now. 😵‍💫
Good night to myself. 😵‍💫

[rose yacht]

Day35: I need to reposition the bridge!

I need to lower it since it is blocking half the view on the sides.

https://tenor.com/view/puss-in-boots-eyes-beg-cat-gif-426057463396629046

[cobalt geode]

damn that sounds like a lot of rebuild

[rose yacht]

Im still dismantling it 😭
I hope i didnt farmed stones yesterday since i got lots of regular stoneblocks and highly polished now.

I don't know why I'm worrying, but I'm going to rebuild it anyhow, so whatever. 🤣🤣

I want to build the clouds already 😭😭

[lusty python]

Clouds? Aw that sounds cool!

[rose yacht]

Day36: Dismantling the other bridge.. 🥲

[fair snow]

You have to make a video tour of this - please!
It's outstanding

[rose yacht]

I would love to, but sides are not yet done.

a lil bit messy i might say since i just dismantled the bridge.
It was blocking half the view. lol

and right now im playing palworld with my lil girls lol

[fair snow]

I love playing with both my kids a well 😀

[fiery bane]

Back to work slacker

[rose yacht]

Day37: done cleaning the sides. Time to buiild!

Ignore the stairs lol I just wanna get the midline LOL

[fiery bane]

When u add new props to ur walls?

[rose yacht]

i will create a different build for it. Something small. I dont want to bug my main project.

[fiery bane]

Do it here

[rose yacht]

no daddyt

[cobalt geode]

she said Daddy 😜

[cobalt geode]

yeah, better test the table somewhere first

[rose yacht]

this is taking me forever I have to make the other half lol

[fair snow]

😄 I have temporary 2m square platforms and stairs all over my build for ease of access, I sometimes delete the wrong thing 😵‍💫

[rose yacht]

That is what I do too. ❤️

[rose yacht]

finished both sides;the roofs are wearing me out.. 😵‍💫 i will continue other things tomorrow. Good night ❤️ to me

[rose yacht]

Day38: Still doing the sides 😄

[rose yacht]

starting the bonsai tree. 😄

it is a seedling for now lol

[rose yacht]

Base form, branches and roots will be next, then leaves. 😂

[rose yacht]

Smoothen a little bit and put some more branches. 😄

[rose yacht]

need more polishing, leave separation and branches 😄

[fair snow]

The tree by it's self ss a great achievement.
It looks so natural with the type of architecture

[cobalt geode]

Looks amazing & organic & natural, great job
fits perfectly to your build

[rose yacht]

Day39: uhmmm gardening?

[rose yacht]

I will take a different approach on this side. More on sculpture and landscape design

[fair snow]

i love the greenery, it gives the place some soul

[rose yacht]

I dont want much color on the buildings Since the divine dragon will be the main subject in the whole build

As a concept artist I dont put much detail on things that are far from the visual hierarchy.

[rose yacht]

Day 40: uhmmm gardening again

[rose yacht]

I need to take a break from playing. im feeling burnout in a while. It drastically reduced creativity in my part. See you again after few days! 😄

[cobalt geode]

No wonder, what you have done in that time is more than a lot, amazing build

[novel finch]

yeah you've been truckin' at this for a long while. again, I'm very impressed with your stamina. enjoy your break! I hope you get some mojo back ^^

[fiery bane]

There's no such option. I'll see you tomorrow

[drifting vine]

so cool

[fair snow]

You deserve a long break, have fun in that thing I have heard of called real life, there your wellbeing is the most important stat

[rose yacht]

Well, starting to work with the divine guardian

[rose yacht]

I wanted red eyes 😢

[cobalt geode]

blocks or terrain mat?

[rose yacht]

anything official. 😢

[cobalt geode]

Ah my bad, i forgot :/

[rose yacht]

the red marble blocks have this black outline dopesnt look good

i hope they add red lumi

[cobalt geode]

looks awesome

[fair snow]

I wouldn't have believed this was possible a few weeks ago. It looks like an actual game asset, not a bunch of voxels.
Looks incredible.
Are you and CyberCrank AI's 🫢

[rose yacht]

Im cheap tho. I didnt use AI for my dragon. I just look at pinterest 😂 But it is far from my reference IDK why
I tried using terrain for the individual hairs. But it doesnt load from the ground. So I used blocks.

here is the original reference

[fair snow]

That is so ambitious, it will look great when you finish it

[rigid plank]

I love Chinese dragons :3
This is going to turn out amazing for sure

[rose yacht]

im really having a hard time making the mane look like hair lol
Im trying to use the highly polished blocks to force the shadow since the warm glowing blocks doesnt have shadow.

I'll make these horns if after finishing the other side it doesn't appear good enough for me.

It will work with white blocks layering.. I think.

[burnt star]

This is crazy ! I wonder if there is lag or drop FPS

[rose yacht]

I need a longer whiskers but I havent finalized how the body bends

It might overlap

[fair snow]

of course it looks amazing, I would expect nothing less from you M.
As those the final colours or are you going to give it a more organic look with a terrain skin?

[rose yacht]

Yes I will change the final look of it. But this is the color I want. Theres a way to change it using Turks CE But I want to make a separate save After I finish it all

IDK the snow if theres a lot of stony part I hope not

Since divine guardian is an Ancient dragon ill put some grass into it maybe wood and stones

I also want to add whatever @novel finch put into her unicorn's hair. I hope I do it right tho. I havent used any of the turks mod yet only the camera.. Im kinda excited tbh

[novel finch]

(I'm a girl🧍‍♀️lol not that it matters that much here) AHEM ANYWAY
I used mushrooms (i think the name to search for is "grassland_below_plant_07") via the "override placed props" function AND I tilted/angled them with the "prop placement flags -> global prop rotation (euler)" function... I don't know if they would be too big or too small for your dragon build, and (so far) I haven't figured out how to scale the prop models :<
/prods turk (proportional) scaling pls 🙏

[rose yacht]

Ohh sorry to assume your gender. 😵‍💫😩😭

[rose yacht]

Ill be having another break to play Vrising. Me an my hubby passed this game during early access. So this is a 1st time for me.

[burnt star]

https://tenor.com/view/munsonated-gif-26549638

[burnt star]

[rigid plank]

I'm getting hyped when I see women creating such amazing artwork and structures! In games too. Way to go girls!! ^_^

[rigid plank]

It's such an amazing game. Early access done right, truly ^_^
We've been playing Vrising for about a year with my husband and love it.
Hope you have fun!

[novel finch]

[burnt star]

[fiery bane]
