Oh god, a 3D hollow knight would actually be impossible.

[@abaddonarts1129]

I've definitely thought about how it would work, but the world size would be twice as big, at least, since we have a new axis to work with. Either extensions of existing areas or new ones would be necessary. Combat would be more fluid in order to move around easily in the space, though parkour might be ruined depending how it works because of camera angles. Unfortunately, the whole process would be nigh impossible to do while keeping it similar to the original game.

[@quacking.duck.3243]

Having played the game in Italian, it's also extremely interesting to see the original names of the characters, compare them and see how they made them fit. The translators did an excellent job on this game.

[@abaddonarts1129]

For sure. There's some games that have really interesting or funny yet accurate translations for names, like with Pokemon names. In particular, the German names for a lot of Pokemon are quite literal, rather than a play on words that they have in English. I'm curious how that happened with Hollow Knight enemies in Italian.

[@quacking.duck.3243]

​@@abaddonarts1129 Ok so I went and found the most notable ones: Crawlid -> Vorino Vengefly -> Tormentottera (of obvious origin; probably my favourite) Aspid -> Vespide Goam -> Gargantoverme (no idea why they changed this) Husk -> Relitto (wreck) Obble/Oblobble -> Obedella/Obedana Maskfly -> Moschera (mosca (fly) + maschera (mask), pure genius) (Massive) Moss charger -> Rinodonte/Megadonte muschioso Fungling/Fungoon -> Sporella/Sporona Folly -> Insania (which sounds innocent but that word is virtually unused in Italian) Belfly -> Ventrelumia (lightbelly, kind of) Pilflip -> Giribalto (giro (flip) + ribaltarsi (to turn over)) Flukefey -> Maranide (???) Shadow creeper -> Scarafide delle ombre (the first word resembles the word for beetle) Mawlek -> Crudefauci (literally raw-maw, love this one) Boofly -> Moscobue (fly-ox? What the hell) All the bosses are the same except obvious translations like the Hollow Knight (il Cavaliere Vacuo) and the Radiance (lo Splendore). Also GG for not having a clue on how to translate "Elderbug" and just naming him Gerontias because he's old, top use of creative license right there.

Thanks. I took a look at your channel. Awesome stuff! I wouldn't say this was patience so much as the stubbornness set in when I got to the City of Tears and I kept going.

[@PKLuver944]

I have put together a miniature review-like comment for you to hopefully take something out of. A bit of a major issue, 11:48, Husk Miner, Crystal Husk and Crystal Guardian's texturing, specifically the black lines; the quality is distractingly poor and pixelated. These models would benefit from higher resolution mapping, or the black instead being modelled into the bodies, as if they are grooves in the shells. 17:42 the black stripe closest to the heads of the Hive Soldier and Hive Guardian look like there's a minor texturing bug, looking a little pixelated. The other stripes seem to be flawless though! You've already acknowledged the Moss Charger/Knight name error and Hollow Knight's arm, props to you for responding to those critisms! The models are FANTASTIC. I have a particular liking to how you've modelled fur-like tufts, present in bee and moss enemies and a few others. Not too complicated or overcrowding, and not too rough either. The scenery props are so pleasing too! It didn't seem to be integral to the modelling process but the inclusion of them has made the end product so much more satisfying. The collection of models is a resounding success! I will be eagerly tuning in to the following videos already on your channel, and I can't wait to see your future works as well!

[@abaddonarts1129]

Thank you for pointing out some stuff. The main thing about these is that they aren't actually textured, with UV or anything. I had no idea how to do that at all until a bit after finishing it, so I applied materials to the faces directly for each color, which is super visible in the early Crossroad enemies. As I progressed, it was easier to hide it with more carefully placed lines. If I remade these today, I'd definitely be able to fix them. I'm particularly happy about deciding on the environmental decorations, the models by themselves were so boring to look at if they just sat there. It also helped to remind me of the theme for each area I was going for. If you want to guarantee that you know about whatever I make next, be sure to subscribe and turn on notifications. (This video getting as many views as it did was a literal miracle. KZbin is pretty bad at getting anything animation related recommended to people)

@@companioncube3208 Not specifically. Nosk turns into what the prey loves, luring people into it's nest by making them think a lost love or friend is in that direction. If it were in Smash, which is super unlikely that it'd be Nosk instead of Hornet, it'd be super weird and that mechanic might not be implemented cause of how specific it is. Would be pretty cool as a trophy or summon though

[@penguinhead_]

Everyone has to agree, that Nosk animation is worth appreciation

[@ixeliema]

Wow. Beautiful work! Truly gorgeous. Well over a year of blood sweat and tears and it shows your attention to detail in every single model. Particularly loved Nosk and the Nailsmiths :)

This is now my fav hollow knight video Amazing job dude

[@kirby65422]

Love how accurate this is to the actual in game Hunter’s Journal. My only nitpick with this is God Tamer is actually before Pale Lurker, other than that, pretty amazing!

[@abaddonarts1129]

Thank you! I actually don't recall if the adjusted placement of God Tamer was intentional, but I think it was. I made some changes here and there in order to make the video feel more natural (moving the Entombed Husk to be in the Forgotten Crossroad entry with the other Husks, the Brooding Mawlek with the other Mawleks, etc). I assume for the God Tamer because it's the closest thing to a final boss, it felt right at the time

[@martenkahr3365]

Is it just me, or does the sigil in the center of the Radiance's halo look a lot like a fist giving the middle finger? Because "Fuck You" seems like a really appropriate symbol for the massive pain that is the Radiance.

Ah yes, My favorite hollow knight enemy, fungified husl.

[@abaddonarts1129]

Quite a few typos made it through in the final version, and it's way too late to fix that.

[@milky_walrus2212]

Oh my god... Now, when I see all of the bosses and monsters in 3D it gives me huge anxiety.. With all this thickness they look so scary. Like, you really can imagine their true size and you can't do shit if you meet traitor lord in front of you.

[@Chan0art]

bro just imagining a hollowknight 3d action platform has me hype

[@philomythosgames8965]

I love it! Well done! I like that you made little environments for each place too.

[@abaddonarts1129]

Glad you like it!

[@MrRedwires]

These are really pretty! Is there any chance these models could be added to something like a VRChat world? It would be so pretty to be able to walk through these and appreciate them and their scale. Either way, it's great work :>

[@abaddonarts1129]

I've been considering that, though I don't know how to do it. I'd love to try though.

[@Kamoto-Ohiko]

You can even make the hollow knight world itself and put the mobs at the places they should be

[@abaddonarts1129]

@@Kamoto-Ohiko That's very close to the idea I had, actually. It's going to take a while though, but that'd be fun.

[@Kamoto-Ohiko]

@@abaddonarts1129 for each map you can use a portal section so it wouldn't make the world huge

[@abaddonarts1129]

@@Kamoto-Ohiko I think I'll start looking into that soon. One of the things I've been trying to do is make a custom model for VR Chat, which I think I've done but I can't upload it yet due to account restrictions
