Wow as a dental technician i really can tell you did an amazing job on the teeth! (if you want it a bit more realistic... i´d just recommend to eventually revisit the shape of the upper incisors and the overall shape of the canines) ...colorwise you´ll get a much more believable look if you´ll just add a bit transparency to the teeth and a bit more gloss! I love the overall Idea of the puzzles getting a deeper meaning and level of immersion by integrating it into the "living" part of the world you create.. keep up the good work and i can´t wait to see the world expanding

[@AMOGUS_is_SUS696]

the tree is smooth for a tree but it is perfect to be a monster puzzle thing

[@minghaolee9512]

it won't look as smooth when the final texture is imported, a lot of detail comes from the texture overlay itself rather than the model.

[@99brickstudios]

Love it so much. Im not sure how to effectively do this in Unreal. But the key or atleast a part of getting the teeth to look right is subsurface scattering/Translucency. Teeth are always a bit translucent and thererfore look a lot darker in dark environments/ a half closed mouth.

[@floriakson]

I absolutely love the way you sculpted the mouth, although I must admit the whole tree makes... too much sens ? As in - to me, I'm just sharing but it's your art direction - the way the mouth is incrusted in the tree is too organic and natural, and in the end it looks like it's normal, like the tree is a cartoon character with a comically large mouth. There's uneasiness from the sculpt of the mouth but not in the way the tree *has* a mouth, compared to if it was growing misaligned to the tree, or from a peculiar spot of the tree (I kind of have the same feeling with the witnesses, the idea of an alien wearing them and the eyes not matching is great, and in fact I lost most of the witnesses, but I feel like no matter what, ending up with big spheres for eyes just evoques cartoony characters, compared to some). Not helped by the tree not being finished yet, wich adds to the "big mouthed sausage" feel I get Keep in mind there's also some part of trusting the process, the texturing work you did for the neonates recently completely changed them for the best. So I'm looking forward for future developments either way !

[@renzesparza6281]

I’m a simple man. I see a Boro post, i watch it, i like it. Hasn’t failed me yet Edit: looks awesome as always. When the mouth is closed, having it move like a goblin shark would be really cool

[@ARDIZsq]

This thing is terrifying. Amazing. Personally, I'd make the white of the teeth a bit yellow, but not evenly, more splotchy, so there's still hints of white. I'd also maybe add in some black into the inside of some of the teeth as decay and cavities, maybe even a few chips or holes. I think if possible, some spit strings "connecting" the two halves of the mouth would look pretty cool too.

[@bo2_435]

The tree looks awesome! As for the level itself, the thing that I noticed is that currently, it seems like the layout as far as your path through the level is concrened, is very linear. As in, you're going from the main hub to your points of interest in a single straight line along the fence. I think it it could use some variation.? Like, if you experimented with different pathways and some kind of background scenery that would make them visually distinct, it would make the level a lot more interesting to traverse and explore.

[@rickysargulesh1053]

Yeay abother VR video. Always makes me happy to see. Awesome design. This game is gonna be a trip ❤

[@Lapin432]

It’s always a good day when you post!

[@phobiac281]

Boro you should make tree a trap thing where the roots of it would come up from the ground and try to pull a player in the mouth (a struggle thing where you have to click as fast as possible a key or lmb) if player fails then tree would pull it towards its mouth and just bite your head off in really grotesque way :)

[@animesubway7433]

We must stay focused brothers!

[@sckanersfofolle]

For drawing white i never use real white, i go with very light grey. Otherwise the teeth do look otherworldly being this clean, does fit in the creepy category without yet taking into account it's attached to a tree that's probably going to bite...

[@FSK1138]

give it a gold tooth ..😀 you got to tempt the adventures

[@Hanna.M.F]

Oh wow I love that. One of my favorite designs from your game so far :0

[@GasMaskedThings]

Superb dental health

[@BoroCG]

Yeah! Keeping it nice and clean, because I don't want to make things just dreadful in a straightforward way. It should feel like a dream. Just a tree, with a mouth. Gives no clues on what to think of it.

[@HorribleHomeVideo]

new idea for a horror game: in game you are designing a horror game and the creations you mold and paint come alive and attack you.

[@BBrinckmann1992]

I was thinking after watching your previous video on how you could keep John on the path and instead of using bushes and rocks, you could maybe also look into using non-euclidien geometry, where John strafes off the path into the forest, but than just ends up on the other side of the path from where you left. So you can never leave it, that would definitively be a Touch of Infinity! But I've no idea how complicated that actually is to pull of…

[@archibrookbank9017]

you could say this tree is all bark and all bite

[@oliverhansen1792]

I loved watching the process thanks for posting

[@lcabilo]

Awesome sculpt! The tree is looking dope and interesting, I'm wondering if you're considering using subsurface scattering for the teeth and gums, I feel like it would benefit the look quite well

[@pavidarkin9797]

hey boro. to me the teeth seem slightly wierd because the top row of teeth are on an angle whereas maybe it would be more 'realistic' if the jaw was open and so the bottom teeth at an angle. looks really good tho. its such a creepy puzzle/model. truly a horror game

[@rePath]

its more a animal than a tree, since it eats with a mouth. maybe it should have roots that lay flat on the ground and lift up once its awake. (lift up like arms or legs or both?)

[@user-je9xz9gh9i]

Those teeth are looking more healthy than my own

[@infinitesimotel]

YOu could also vary their size and position. Some trees could have more screwed up teeth than others depending on how evil they are. It cuold be possible to make various differend models for the same teeth and have a randomizer put them in place giving you loads of variations and degrees.

[@TheGoldenOne25]

Possible idea for extra detail add an axe on the other side with blood coming out proving this tree is human

[@maikeru01]

HEY BORO, one thing i often noticed in comics is that they often angle the teeth of the bad guys so that the top of the top row and the bottom of the bottom row (near the gums) are wider than the bottom of the top row or the top of the bottom row. I hope that made sense. Basically, if the mouth was closed, it would have an hourglass shape. It definitely makes them look evil for some reason!

[@guineapigjoe1914]

sick man we do need more good horror games

[@lolkhars3525]

Here's an idea, multiple of those trees throughout the level (some of them bite) the ones that bite have blood or severed hands in them

[@lolkhars3525]

Or a tripwire type timing puzzle where if you get the wrong timing it bites you

[@premiumcheddar9983]

I think it would be super interesting to have several more smaller mouths at different angles and locations on the tree, each with a different expression or level of incorporation to the bark

[@shiftysus4890]

Cool stuff as always 👍

[@Cowpoke1911]

Have the mouth leak tree sap!

[@MarisFreimanis]

That looks fun :D

[@rePath]

does it brush it teeth? they shouold be yellow, make em nasty!

[@ericcurrier50]

How is the topology for these meshes? I've seen your prior video and was curious to know how optimized it is for in game stuff?

[@Essbee1]

Love it! mind that our top jaw doesnt move. Only the bottom jaw does. So the top row of teeth should be parallel to the floor and the bottom teeth angle down. ... if trees have the same physiology as humans, that it ;)

[@BoroCG]

Haha you're right, but I think it's okay to do whatever works best to show the mouth better

[@Essbee1]

@@BoroCG absolutely! A tree grows from the ground up so it makes sense that the "stump" part is flat and the top moves, it's more organic! Sorry, felt so guilty after I commented that! 😅 it looks fantastic, like all your work 🙌

[@3Diana]

without context so much of this video looks like some kind of weird dentist xD

[@S.I.L.E.N.C.E33]

HEEEEEEEEY How about a fruit with an Eye or a create with feet, or maybe a palm that you have to click the write fingers to un-fist it and get the loot inside, Or eye balls that just role around the ground, maybe even an Arm that can be used as a weapon, I'm just brainstorming here.

[@rickysargulesh1053]

It would be cool if a riddle comes up when you reach inside the mouth and if you answer wrong it actually bites your arm off

[@BoroCG]

Yeah, and 3 answers on the screen: the right one, the wrong one, and to try to take the arm away (the worst one)

[@quinntezzence]

Hell yeah this is gonna be good

[@mrholmer4206]

amazing treeth !

[@ryanisanart]

more shapelab stuff!

[@KhroMcKrakken]

Please please! What is the app you use for your notes? I love the layout and would love to use it for my game too.

[@BoroCG]

Oh that's Google Keep

[@Shadow-Silver-Reboot]

cool

[@Loooore3483]

P-3 prison be like

[@gorequillnachovidal]

i bet it has bad breath too...make sure to make some stink lines for it

[@GrayveRoseMusic]

The teeth are probably too white because you're using a pitch white vertex color. For games you dont really want to use a full 255 value white because it represents the whitest thing that can exist since its the ceiling of value, teeth look a bit more natural around 200ish. That app is pretty baller also

[@MaxXXT111]

Hi Boro! Have been a long time since I watched your videos and this one was just recommended for me. Did you deleted some videos? I noticed there's a lot of 3D videos but almost none of the illustration ones like the Outlandish Curiosity or about the Widowmaker. What happened?

[@jakicevic]

They're unlisted.

[@99brickstudios]

The whole channel got hacked/ deleted a year or two ago if I remember correctly.

[@MaxXXT111]

@@99brickstudios Wow that's so sad, thanks for the info bro

[@BoroCG]

Haha, well the hacking happened 2+ years ago and all the videos were recovered. Right now, many painting videos are unlisted from the main list, and you can find them in Playlists on the channel

13:30 Having more then 32 teeth will make it unrealistic😁😂🤣

:D Well I mean, if it's a mouth in a tree - it's a message. If the mouth has 36 teeth - that a separate message, like WHAT DOES IT MEAN unnecessary noise
