awhile back and because I hate myself I decided, you know what CGI, that’s what I’ll learn to fix the issue of controlling a photography set for Paper. It was a delightful horrible experimental phase that by this point feels as if purgatory was combined with failing to find the correct type of paper at a Staples office supply. Essentially a ton of waiting and specific check boxes needed to have the proper result in front of you. my own personal hell aside I have hit a decent point of skill to start building Paper’s 4inch world.
Here is a scene I put together in a rush (and will use again, these sets have great mileage). while unfinished it does give a great sense of Paper and friends scale to the world. I added a red ball just to make it easier to see the specs they become. Being roughly the size of a soda can I don’t want that to be forgotten, there’s a ton of lush open landscape out there I hope to build through over time. I will fill in areas as I can put more foundation into his life, but I will have constant reminders of just how small he is comparatively and how Shiki-Jin society will have had to build with it.
simple things will be as simple as wood, at their size, a single tree is a super abundant resource, with the added help of craftsmen like ninjas, huge monument sized pieces of wood can be used for all sorts of things, a single board at human scale would be a bridge for them. farmers would only need to grow a minimal amount of crops as a whole watermelon would be enough for a village of people, or raise a single cattle as livestock to cover everyone. My world will defiantly have some strange hurtles to write around, like where does meat come from in Poke’mon? But I want to integrate it as seamlessly as possible to make it feel more alive, a touch more real. For now that means filling up these empty boonies esc areas.
