cornhole - lawn furniture model (s)

[JacobChrist]

Here is my current thinking... Cornhole is a two player game and it needs networking. So what I think we should do is build out the corn hole scene as best we can. Put it in a pretty backyard with a picked fence and a house (that you can't enter). There should be a nice lawn and some yard accouterments such as a lawn, shrubs, trees, furniture and BBQ. Maybe even some critters that run by every once and a while. I posted a link to corn-hole rules. There are some interesting challenges here. Scoring is dependent on where your bags lands and weather they go through the wholes. Also, scoring is based on not just your bags but your opponents bag locations. We need a score board (maybe a chalk board or white board). To connect players we will need a lobby and a relay server. There is a lot here but its so small once it is working it will be a good jumping off point.
Also, I don't know if you have tried to throw the cube in the scene, but it doesn't go very far. Some physics or scripting will be needed to make it feel right. I about an pulling my arm out of the socket to get the cube to go what feels like a couple of feet (2/3 m). If I was throwing that hard IRL the bag would go over the fence. Hehe. What if you had an angry neighbor that throws the bag back if it goes over the fence?

This could be fun! When do we need this by, though? Is there a hard deadline? I'm new at Blender and wouldn't mind trying but not sure it it will turn out well enough to be included?

[SilverWyzardess]

Also any thoughts on scaling so I don't make, for example, a giant Adirondack chair?

[JacobChrist]

There is no deadline, but if the scene starts to come together there could be peer pressure. 😄

I try to make things human scale, I have a 6ft tall man I drop in my scenes for scale but there are also tools for measuring in Blender.

[SilverWyzardess]

Great thank you! I'm a total beginner but have to jump in to learn. This will get me in gear if people are expecting stuff.

[SilverWyzardess]

Great, thank you! I knew I'd have to get going if I jumped in. Looking at your GitHub guide as I listen to our weekly discussion.

Hi Jacob, Thank you for your kind offer! I would like to screen share with you at your convenience. David777 was right, I was trying to open the overall folder in Unity, but I'd like to check with you and see where I open what we're working on and how to make a copy of the scene for myself (I'm assuming "Save As" but this is my first collab project, so I don't want to risk messing up anyone's work!). My main question: I'm in our collab project and where do I go from here, to see the scene and make a copy? I just get the blank Unity standard skybox and didn't want to fiddle around too much for fear of changing something. Also, I was a little confused if we need GitTortoise AND GitKraken? Git Kraken appears to work for me but GitTortoise needed a lot more steps that sounded like Greek. When is a good time for me to do a Zoom call with you? Dot C. a/k/a SilverWyzardess

@SilverWyzardess How is this going, did we get this merged into the project yet? I'm at a point where I want to try to pull in some of this art.

[SilverWyzardess]

Hi Jacob, Here's where I am so far! I'm happy with my umbrella table, chairs and chaise lounge but not so much with the settee. The cushions look like jagged teeth! Silly "beginner" question: how do I export these pieces of furniture and merge them into the project? (I think I may make a bench instead of that settee.) Next I'll plan to play around with the figure you sent, making him a statue or birdbath, perhaps. What else do we need? A small cocktail table in front of the settee or bench comes to mind. I don't know if my first-time Blender skills are quite up to par to make Adirondack chairs yet (I've just seen three Grant Abbitt videos in between my work and school commitments) but I can certainly try! Do we have a hard deadline on this, by which you absolutely need everything? And since I'm a beginner, where do I need to improve on these? Thank you for all your help! SilverWyzardess, a/k/a Dot

Well, duh. I just realized, the document you made explains most of this. Sorry for all the questions. Let me see if I can figure out how to export the models and share them in our GitHub. Then I can ask questions if I still have them, during our Saturday call. Dot

Good to get to talk with you this morning--thank you for your kind, encouraging words. Yes, when we can I'd love to do a Zoom call with you and share my screen. I really don't know what I don't know, so far. Dot

Hi Jacob, I apologize--we totally missed connections yesterday! I was off Discord due to meeting a couple of deadlines and my email alerted me* this morning *that you'd sent me a message yesterday. I'll like to get those models in too; thank you for including me. The quickest way to reach me is to text:. I have an eye doctor appointment in the morning (Pacific time) but should be home in the afternoon, or available most of the day Thursday/Friday. Which days work for you? Or is there another time that works better? I'm getting the impression that you have a superbusy schedule too. Dot P.S. I'm playing around with an Adirondack chair too.
