New 2350$ Stretch Goal - 3D Character Models!
Added 2024-07-20 09:22:42 +0000 UTC
We're finally here! Unless a lot of you guys pull back at the end of the month, we've finally past the 2000$, which was the last of the stretch goals...
Which means we now need a new one! Enter Drengade from Combat Ready Studio, who I met during SMMR of RWBY. I spoke with him about the process of 3D Models making, the rigging, texturing, what engine, etc... And thus, we came to an agreement. If we hit 2350$, for each month that tier stays up, we will commission Drengade a new 3D Model for a JPDE2 character!
These will be fully animation ready models, prepped for usage with GooEngine -the 3D Anime oriented Blender variant developed by Dillon Goo, which you may know... :) -, with the aim of making 3D Animated Cutscenes for JPDE2... And maybe more, who knows.
That is, only if we get to that level... I am excited, honestly, because I've been wanting to try my hand at 3D animation for a while. I have been dabbling in animation since high school -I've made a few flash animation when Adobe Flash was a thing-, and there's of course all the things I do with sprites on our games but this would be a first step into a great new world!
The 3D Models to work on would be chosen by me, in order of need for what cutscenes we'd animate. For example, the first cutscene we'd animate is a fight between David&Sienna VS Lieutenant Scourge, from Episode 02 of JPDE2.
Nothing else to it but to remind you that you can support Team JPDE here or on Kofi, and donations on both sites cumulate to decide the total amount! To bigger and better things, and to more years of RWBY, now that they're at VizMedia!
