A Dinusty Christmas Collaboration Project (Christmas Tree)

This year's Christmas was a special one. I got asked to do a Christmas tree to present the submissions of the December material challenge on, which had the prompt to make Christmas ornaments. I was done much sooner than anticipated and wanted the tree to be part of something - so I teamed up with lots of amazing people from the Empire and we managed to make this scene happen just in time for the holidays. I'm super proud of what we achieved in so little time and how well we could manage to get everything done given how spontaneous and unplanned this project was, and I'm super thankful that I got a cozy place to put my tree into.

Personally this is just the beginning of working in a collaborative manner for me - it was such an amazing experience that I want to continue with it. It's a great opportunity to learn and grow, and just fun to complement each other. Thank you all for joining me! Hope we'll work again together!

My contribution to the scene:

Tree and decorations (bauble meshes provided by Jeremy)
Present Meshes and Ribbons throughout the scene
Material and first mesh pass on the shelf
Exterior models & materials
Fireplace (Fire+Firewood)

And trying to keep the strings together. Thanks again for being such a good self-reliant team that made that part easy for me.
