It was a lot of footage. 3) Thanks for letting me be a part of your life and daily routine.

The carving on the bench in hyrule castle is most likely not a rito but a loftwing (which also gave the royal crest its wings and feet). Great video as always, love the genuine care put into inspecting the craft.

First of all, you're the one to thank for posting videos like these that are really neat. I love just really taking good looks at little details like that as well as skyboxes, so your videos are always a pleasure to watch. Secondly, I have no idea if you've played them, but I think it'd be neat to take a look at the woodwork within the Xenoblade series, as their developer Monolith soft has actually assisted the main development studio with the environment design (mostly topography) and the Xenoblade games tend to be packed with environmental details. So I'm actually quite curious how the woodwork within their own games stacks up as well as what similarities and differences we might see when comparing them. Not to mention that even outside of that, the Xenoblade series has some fantastic "skyboxes" that I can almost never get enough of. Hope you'll have a nice day or evening

That last table isn't plywood on the legs. In certain historical tables, you see carved vertical grooves going up the legs. I think those divisions that look like sheets in plywood are actually carved grooves going up the legs. I think the weird looking textures under the surfaces were also supposed to be carved grooves, but it looks awful and does look like end grains so i think there was just sloppiness in texture selection.

That's how I read it, but it's such a low-grade texture, it _does_ become harder to tell... Also, that just sort of makes sense, given everything else we see in game. Granted, I don't know how long humanity has had plywood, but it doesn't strike me as something particularly easy to slap together with only hand tools. Thin layers stacked together sounds like a nightmare to try to craft by hand, actually. It would probably end up cheaper to use whole wood pieces if you were expecting someone to use a medieval saw to slice something so thin, I might think.

12:25 this whole asset really strikes me as something that was made as a game prop, more so than the others. Game props often need to take up as little space as possible as not to infringe on the play area, a straight back side to the shelf allows you to line it up perfectly against a wall. The plank of wood that has a sharp angle turn to it is just an easy way to UV map that texture while reducing poly count, I'd even say that existing makes me feel like this prop was rushed a bit compared to the others! Not that it particularly matters, but I doubt the artist would have made that decision if they had all the time in the world to make it. Such a cool video thank you!

The algorithm works! I happen to be a video game artist with a background in woodwork, so found an awful lot of joy in this video. 💖 I suspect a lot of your commentary is knowingly tongue-in-cheek, and from a development standpoint the most likely answer to a lot of odd choices is "that's good enough". Almost all the joinery is a simple case of two meshes clipping into eachother as it's often too costly on the performance to add more than the minumum geometry. The cabinet for example is clearly kitbashed from other pieces, (always better to reuse textures where possible, than to increase memory with bespoke ones). Finally the trestle legs at the end look to be an unfortunate case of not realising the UVs are rotated 90°. Happens to the best of us! Especially in a game with thousands of assets to pump out. Really fun to see an appreciation for this stuff, I'll be sure to follow ✨

I wanna propose an alternative to it possibly being inspired by the Rito by saying that they might be inspired by the Loftwings from Skyward Sword.

I like to think that since Koroks themselves are essentially sentient plant-creatures, they would object to cutting down any living tree to create furniture. Instead they would forage for pieces of wood/branches/twigs that have naturally fallen off trees and bushes. That might explain why the korok bed is so oddly shaped/gnarled! Then again, I have no idea if decayed/broken wood is actually usable to make furniture.

It's funny to imagine that it's been so long since the Skyward Sword era, that the people of Hyrule have forgotten what Loftwings were, or what they looked like. They just know that the Hyrule royal family is big on bird motifs, so their craftsmen just add bird designs to their furniture without remembering why it's important. Which is why said bird elements don't really resemble Loftwings, because the craftsmen who made them didn't know that was what they were supposed to be depicting.

That Korok bed, i doubt it was steam bended, not only is it out of character, but those beams look like a single piece of wood, and a quite girthy one at that, steam bending that would not only be near impossible for the Koroks to do, but you would need some high tech steamers and a lot of time in order to do that in our world. Now what am thinking is that the Koroks grew that bed, literarily made the wood grow in those shapes. Look it up, there are furniture made by tieing saplings to scaffolding to make them grow in the shape you want, and you can make some really complex shapes with it, however, we never do it here in our world, but the tree spirits in Hyrule not only have the time to watch a tree grow, but its also in character that they would do it, as a matter of fact, i find it out of character for the Koroks to cut down a tree and then force it into the shape they want.

The bird motifs on the hyrulian family furniture are almost certainly in reference to the crest itself, which itself is made in the image of the loftwings, which are great birds that were ridden by the citizens of Skyloft. The loftwings are very, and I mean VERY important when talking about the Hyrulian Family Crest, and especially any furniture they may build, as much of it seems to incorporate the loftwing design, despite loftwings being unseen outside of Skyward Sword.

Hateno village is not that distantly related to hyrule castle. Could it be possible that the more structral non-end-grain pieces of wood from a tree went into making those supply boxes, whereas the leftover, cheaper, slightly less durable cuts from the same trees were purchased by the furnature maker that supplied Hateno Village with its tables?

In games, we cant afford to create every minimal detail, specially when the detail is so minuscule like this one, so we employ some techniques to mimic the desired appearance. In this case, the effect creates the "separation" between those two wood pieces but if you pixel peep hard enough, you'll see that in fact, it's a single piece. That helps improving performance. Edit: Put a 3d game artist in the middle, that'd be a wonderful knowledge exchange 👀

I’ve never even thought about woodworking in video games. As a game designer, it’s just my job to hand it off to the 3d artists, but maybe there’s some values in the ways it’s constructed, the story it tells, etc. Love the new series

2:19 I actually think this is rather accurate to the time period. Making wooden planks was a very tedious task before modern innovations in woodworking and in order to make a plank you have to pretty much carve it out of the log. In order to maximise the width of the plank, it would be ideal to carve it out of the center of the log.

Whatever you choose to do next, hope you have fun doing it, and that you have a great rest of your day.

For the korok bed, the half lap joints may also have a peg joint in it, amd since they're clearly using moisture to shape the wood (steam bending) they likely decided to just let the wood swell together to seal the joint. Japanese carpentry uses that concept alot, seeing as how iron was so rare and expensive in Japan, Carpenters would make VERY precise cuts with very little play in the joint, tie it together with twine, and not laquer it at first to allow the wood to swell. Then finish it. A lot of their more ancient buildings are like that.

I mean, _maybe_ the koroks did steambending, but I feel it's more likely they used some sort of tree magic to grow the wood in the right shape. They are little magic tree people after all.

Makes sense that Hyrule castle had worse wood structure, from a game development perspective. The design work was focused on making the furniture fancy, putting engravings on the back of chairs and along the stretcher.

In regards to the cross bracing plank... thing... on the boxes in Lookout Landing: I see a lot of German half-timbered houses with crossed sections of wall that reach from one corner, but not quite to the other as well. It could be a case of a Japanese game studio attempting to copy European design using photographs.

All of your series that compare video game aesthetics, economies, architecture, and urban vitality to real life really scratches an itch in me that cares **so much** about how much thought people put into their fictional worlds. I feel like so many people put this level of loving care into the big shiny things like weapons or superpowers in real life and forget how much it can take you out of it if, say, you walk into a town the NPCs claim is 'bustling with commerse' but only has 5 intractable NPCs in. This devotion to analyzing woodworking is just another thing that makes me excited to be able to get a 2nd opinion on how much devotion went to these little things. Someone designed those tables and chairs. Someone crafted the bookshelves and arches. And you're such a wonderful creator to admire that work too in your content, even when it's time chuckle at how they do it all wrong. Please do continue this and every other series you're doing because I am here and excited to see it!
