The new cover art sucks 🎨

[wicked flicker]

Change it pls

[jaunty flume]

alr i mean hes not wrong

[wicked flicker]

Frrrrr

[mint jackal]

Ewwww

[empty pine]

JUST LOOK AT THE FINGERS

[mint jackal]

Why is it 3D

[shrewd bloom]

I can’t look that freakishly realistic yeep any longer

[mint jackal]

Get back the drawings

[shrewd bloom]

Yo why is the discord cover art a non 3d one

[wicked flicker]

Fr

[earnest tartan]

missy (the artist) doesnt work for trass anymore

[mint jackal]

#bringbackmissy

[wicked flicker]

?

[waxen pond]

wait is this not a joke?????

[shrewd bloom]

This looks freakishly like an ai image

[waxen pond]

that’s ugly

[shrewd bloom]

The image on meta is the exact same as on discord

[silent cave]

I looked at it closely. It’s not it’s just a blender rendering

It’s just over designed

[wicked flicker]

Nope

[shrewd bloom]

But why make a 2D and 3D image for cover art on different platforms?

[waxen pond]

maybe it was a placeholder or something?

[wicked flicker]

The new cover art sucks 🎨

[mint jackal]

It looks worse than the shark boy and lava girl movie

[silent cave]

Because because they’re different on both platforms at some point, they did that

They could’ve made it in a comic book style
To make it look better instead of this

[lilac wasp]

Nah put it as that

They need to

It’s way better

[ebon viper]

It lowkey looks fanmade

[tiny haven]

What are these fingers man

[ebon viper]

I hate how the fingers look fleshy

[tiny haven]

I feel like they remade the model all together

[reef mason]

Is missy the one who made the 3D version

[tiny haven]

She does

[ebon viper]

Also can we talk about the mouth?

And how awkwardly curved it is in the 3d render?

[regal quail]

Devon made it

[unkempt rose]

why does ithave eyebrows…

[regal quail]

U can tell with the weird eyes that are extruded on the model

[ebon viper]

If they made a custom eye texture to make it angry instead of modeling eye brows, then it would look better.

[regal quail]

It don’t look like yeeps

Fleshy on the hands

[ebon viper]

Also, the shading doesn't reflect whats going on.

[hard vine]

good thing i don’t have the old menu

[ebon viper]

Like the lighting isn't realistic. It doesn't make sense that the light blue lightning effect on the shield isn't being reflected on the model.

But the 2d version includes that lighting.

[thin willow]

Hopefully they were just testing it out, so it can go back to normal

[hard vine]

devon needs to go back to the basement

[simple crane]

When did this happen?

[rigid lake]

I say they had a dream were they wanted 3d

[hard vine]

also does anyone else not see the new emojis?

[rigid lake]

[ebon viper]

Wait... Are the eyes 3d instead of a texture in the 3d art???

[rigid lake]

[lilac wasp]

Why

[hard vine]

WHAT

[simple crane]

THINK MARK THINK

[lilac wasp]

Since when

[hard vine]

i cant find the new emojis😭

[worn swallow]

WHAT THE HELL???????

WTF IS THIS?????

[simple crane]

Missy makes the emojis and we got new ones, so I think she still works for trass

[ebon viper]

Literally reminds me of the one plankton scene

"What its just an ordinary yeeps promo-"

"OH MY GOODNESS"

"DEVON!!!"

[lunar knot]

Why do I feel like this is AI generated

[reef mason]

I assume she’s still around considering she still has her roles

[worn swallow]

they wouldn't do that

[ebon viper]

Nah. you can tell theres polygons and stuff. Ai wouldn't replicate that well.

[worn swallow]

they know how much the community dislikes ai

the fingers are horrid

[lunar knot]

You sure? They still allow AI in suggestions

[hard vine]

they wouldn’t make an ai banner

[worn swallow]

definitely not ai

[lunar knot]

I must be feeling things then

[worn swallow]

that would actually make since if they made 3d renders as a reference for the artists, but idk if thats whats going on here

[thin willow]

And where did you get that information from?

[worn swallow]

this is a new model, look at the fingers (ew)

[thin willow]

Missy still works for Trass

[ebon viper]

Yeeps flesh update.

[thin willow]

They are just testing with what Devon made probably

[worn swallow]

pbof 👀

[boreal crystal]

that is NOT the cover art

😭

[ebon viper]

what?

[thin willow]

It’s a 3D model

[boreal crystal]

2x2 pulsating block of flesh

[ebon viper]

reinforced 5x5 pulsating block of flesh

ew

[noble hornet]

WHAT IN THE WORLD

😭

Why did they do that?

[ebon viper]

expiramenting ig

[noble hornet]

That's disgusting

[ebon viper]

Indeed

The skeep (Skin yeep) must be burned

[placid prairie]

Wtf
I haven't been on Yeeps yet but EW. WHY ARE THE FINGERS LIKE THAT

[modern kite]

Wait I thought it was the traditional one

Someone showed me it

I thought this was a joke

[thin willow]

This is backed up by Gomes, but the art is not AI at all, and is just a 3D rig made by Devon

[regal quail]

Very scary

Too RTC

Rtx

[raven heron]

It looks fine enough imo

[tawdry stirrup]

peak noticed

[violet arch]

Huh

[modest spear]

.

missy still works for trass

[nocturne torrent]

that background looks kinda familiar...

[dim tundra]

So that’s what people have been seeing

[earnest tartan]

huh

[dim tundra]

I don’t see that for some reason I only see the one from the discord banner

[earnest tartan]

a while ago but i might be wrong

[dim umbra]

looks like ai

[worn swallow]

it's not

[dim umbra]

it looks like it tho

[violet arch]

"It looks ai" and ppl think grandmas on Facebook cant tell if smth is real or not

[waxen pond]

it looks ai (accidentally inserted)

[lean crystal]

Let Devon cook

[torn parcel]

Looks like they spent 20 minutes in blender

[thin willow]

Well, Missy still works at Trass

[thin willow]

It’s not AI, it’s 3D Modeling

[sonic sundial]

it looks uncanny valley

[abstract blaze]

Ewwww it looks like those 3d renders from the 1980s,
The light rendering system is so weird it makes the yeeps look as sweaty as a middle-aged man.

[fading needle]

If they don’t want to waste Devon’s work, they could fix the lighting to make the yeeps not shiny, somehow
-# it looks uncanny, I feel like it could be fixed

[abstract blaze]

Btw when's the last time you reset your headset?

[worn swallow]

fr bro they're made of fabric not metal

[regal tinsel]

Their is no way this is real

[fringe spire]

the yeep looks so fine in the cover art on the discord profile but that just looks like doodoo on his head

[cedar thistle]

I cant even see it cuz of the new UI

It sucks

[gaunt musk]

ewwwww why's it 3d

[mint jackal]

Do NOT let him cook gng😭

[noble hornet]

Lemme guess, they're gonnna close this post

[nocturne torrent]

nah

[noble hornet]

Do not let him do that ever again

[thin canyon]

[noble hornet]

This is better

[timber mural]

i honestly thought this was fake until i saw it

[storm sapphire]

I randomly got the new UI, then the next day it reverted back to the old one. It even reset all of my pinned apps
Like are you kidding me? Make up your mind, meta!

[fossil gate]

It isn't the worst.. but eyelids

[fringe spire]

❤️

[noble hornet]

The 3D one?

[timber mural]

yea

[raven heron]

Its fine, my only issue is the eyelids becuase yeeps dont have that and they shouldn't have that

[haughty sable]

WHY DIDNT THEY USE THIS

[fading needle]

Burn this into you brain

[wintry beacon]

this is the best cover art ive seen

[glass yarrow]

@haughty sable @noble hornet @wicked flicker It's an A/B test, so some of you will see the 3D one and some will see the 2D one

This is our first 3D one so we're still working out some of the issues with the custom rig, but it is mainly targeted at new users - we'll see how the results go and if we need to make improvements to the 3D pipeline we shall!

or maybe it's not necessary at all

[haughty sable]

Ok

That makes sense

[wintry beacon]

this is actually real?

[noble hornet]

If it's for new users then

[glass yarrow]

But yeah we're definitely pretty new to the 3D art scene, and I'm confident if we were doing a 3D image from scratch we'd make a new composition

[wintry beacon]

I thought it was fake😭😭😭

[glass yarrow]

well A/B tests apply to everyone

just like with YouTube thumbnails

[noble hornet]

I know

[glass yarrow]

oh I thought you were asking

[wicked flicker]

Hm

[glass yarrow]

I understand

[wicked flicker]

Good explanation

Actually Nathan i have a question

[glass yarrow]

sure!

[red beacon]

who made it I wanna know

just curious

[wicked flicker]

Do u think we would ever get this in game

Like it shows what friends are in a portal

https://discord.com/channels/1197017602292207666/1473343292539277393

[red beacon]

he isn’t gonna respond to this

[wintry beacon]

ur not supposed to do this btw

[wicked flicker]

Im desperate mini mod ok

[wicked flicker]

Dandys world pfp…

[glass yarrow]

Devon made the new rig, but Cindy did the original composition

And then we all just spent a few days trying to figure out how to pose these weird little dudes

[wicked flicker]

Well see if The big N will respond 😁

[noble hornet]

Why are you asking this here

[wicked flicker]

Ok so no

[wintry beacon]

loud sad sigh im not a minimod but ok

[red beacon]

nice

[glass yarrow]

I don't mind you asking but also I can't confirm anything about the future just out of fairness

That being said

I do want to improve the experience of friend navigation

My concern with this strategy is that it relies on you going to each portal, whereas it might be nicer to just have, like, a big friend board that shows what room everyone is in

what who locked the post

[modest spear]

we back?

[red beacon]

I have returned

[wicked flicker]

Woah

[tight sandal]

nathan, when are BAM judges gonna by done?

[wicked flicker]

It got un un locked

[haughty sable]

I gotta say it’s great just a few rig issues like Nathan said

[red beacon]

did you lock it?

[glass yarrow]

any specific feedback?

for me I think it's the face and the hands lol

[tight sandal]

when are the BAM judges gonna be done

[wicked flicker]

Yea

[glass yarrow]

usually friday?

[wicked flicker]

It was answerd so

[glass yarrow]

oh I thought you wanted me to answer your other Q

we can lock it again

[final notch]

E

[glass yarrow]

alright say your last things and then I will return

[wicked flicker]

Silly nathan

[zinc flame]

I HATE YOU

[haughty sable]

I’m not super big on 3d art, but, the main thing I noticed that look a little weird is the hands

[wicked flicker]

U r a good dev

[glass yarrow]

noted!

[simple crane]

Nathan did missy leave the team, cuz someone said she did

[wary lance]

No its amazing

[wicked flicker]

Also r u the leader of trass

[zinc flame]

Give us a bat reskin and I might forgive you

[glass yarrow]

nope

[lean crystal]

Those yeep hands look like they can do some serious gripping

It doesn’t look like the plush hands

[glass yarrow]

Jack is probably our leader if we had one

but technically Loaf leads Yeeps

[zinc flame]

Ok im gonna promote here

#1475177873202479134
#1491807662239649892

[wary lance]

this is the most amazing cover ever please never change it

[glass yarrow]

and I'm #2 to each of them

[simple crane]

LIAR

[wicked flicker]

I thought u founded trass

[hushed tapir]

Yo Nathan it's kinda unrelated but I changed every instrument in Sleepover and C-Foam with the "YEEP" sfx lol #1491593931455070268

[jovial ravine]

thank you for the clarification

[modest spear]

for me I think it’s just how different it was from the normal art, even if it was really good 3d art I just don’t think it would be nice to do a switch like that, and like the normal art continues to look really good

[lean crystal]

Like idea wise or programming wise?

[glass yarrow]

I mean Jack and I both did - it wasn't just one of us

[wicked flicker]

Who had the idea of yeeps though?

[zinc flame]

Ok

[red beacon]

hold on Nathan let me give my feedback

The lighting should be higher quality in the render, hands are a bit weird.

I think it should be a bit more colorful? Like the saturation.

The yeeps in the background look at bit bland especially their eyes

[quiet blade]

i think people are just way more used to the drawn thumbnails

[wary lance]

pretty sure it was a mix of 2 ideas

[glass yarrow]

uh well we all make decisions together, but if it ever came down to it Loaf could make me do what he wanted

not that that has ever happened

[earnest latch]

it was a combo of ideas

[simple crane]

I can’t wait for the new biome in a few weeks/months, it’ll be cool to see what you guys cooked up

[haughty sable]

Also maybe instead of modeling the like, eyebrow thingys, maybe a just cutting the circle like the eyes here

[glass yarrow]

but I'm a little too scatterbrained to actually be in charge

[hushed tapir]

Actually lemme just send it here lol

[red beacon]

there’s my feedback

[glass yarrow]

thank you!

[earnest latch]

this is peak bro

[wary lance]

wait tho is this new cover serious or like a joke

[wicked flicker]

Six seven

[hushed tapir]

Ikr

[sweet trout]

@covert finch is this true

[zinc flame]

Whats the new game gonna be about🤔

[modest spear]

it’s a/b testing

[wicked flicker]

I always thought nathan was the head manager at trass games

[simple crane]

No

[sweet trout]

I thought so lol

[wary lance]

oh right

[wicked flicker]

Actually how did they come up with the name trass

[sweet trout]

they would have to revamp everything

[valid estuary]

They should of replaced all the official biome music with yeep variants for April fools

[simple crane]

@sweet trout

[zinc flame]

Me, nathan, and jack decided it after I said trash

[hushed tapir]

I meant tbf Nathan does give that kind of vibe lol

[hushed tapir]

Too late bro

[tight sandal]

w Nathan

[sweet trout]

yeep

[noble hornet]

That would be convenient!

[quiet blade]

i think that it should look like the game, it's pretty jarring

[zinc flame]

steva you gotta lock in on getting more people in the clash royale clan 😭

we only have like 14 people

[simple crane]

Nathan, will the next biome be the skibidi collab biome?

[tight sandal]

Nathan my favorite dev

[red beacon]

idk why I said lighting but I just meant the quality should be higher like most 3D cover art

no what

Lighting yeah

hold on I can probably get an example

[wicked flicker]

Damn this threads pooping off 😂

[tight sandal]

chat died

[wicked flicker]

@noble saddle 😂

[lean crystal]

Light is too close to the super yeep, also add some motion blur

[bleak scarab]

why his mouth like that

[lean crystal]

That’s how I would improve

[sweet trout]

#1491938599623594025 can you help us?

[wicked flicker]

Dont ask that

[sweet trout]

.

[red beacon]

pretty sure Nathan is gone

[wicked flicker]

Yea

[sweet trout]

theres an argument happening in the channel about how reskinning items works lol

[noble saddle]

ok

[worthy pawn]

It’s so bad

[timber flicker]

Fire who made this

Imma have nightmares and that image will be the monster

[tiny haven]

Dude must love ultrakill

[nocturne torrent]

yes

[wary lance]

idk i kinda like it

[cedar thistle]

Can we blame him
Ive never played ultrakill yet ik its PEAK

[outer imp]

Its fine just gotta wait 2-3 weeks
