Hello everyone! Today I want to show you a visualization of the living room of my design project. I'm just learning now, but I really like the result. Now I am finishing my homework and I need to get back to my studies again.

Also It remains for me to update the links to Adele's conversions, and I will update them a bit later. Although at the same time I was able to complete the new set from Bioshock, which @sarezaka reminded me about it - I forgot that I posted WIP of this set a two year ago))) I will post it as soon as I can.

Well, see you later! and take care of yourself!

И на русском :) Всем привет! Сейчас я учусь на дизайнера интерьера и делаю проект для своей квартиры, где мы сейчас делаем ремонт своими руками и головой))) Между делом я попробовала сделать визуализацию гостиной, чем сейчас и делюсь. На курсе нам не дают визуализацию, т.к. визуализатор - это отдельная профессия. Но методом тыка я сделала несколько кадров, чтобы посмотреть разные сценарии освещения в этом месте. Наверняка тут есть недостатки, но для уровня чайника вышло, на мой взгляд, очень даже классно - издалека если смотреть на экран, то вообще кажется, что это фото :)

Параллельно я обновляю ссылки в постах и доделываю WIP-ы, которые постила еще два года назад! 0-о Мне как раз недавно напомнили об этом. Я постараюсь опубликовать этот сет на этой неделе и после обновлю посты с конвертациями Адель. Главное, что ноут продолжил тянуть всё, что я от него требую - визуализации я рендерила некоторые по полдня, хотя там ничего особо сложного нет.. просто комп старый, а я с него выжимаю по максимуму, иногда молясь, чтобы ничего не слетело..

В общем, дел у меня очень много х) Но я постараюсь не пропадать.. На этом прощаюсь :) Берегите себя, всё будет хорошо!

Ooh, your living room design is pretty good, well done :D

Good luck with updating the remaining links, and it’s cool that you finished the BioShock set you were working on ^^

Good luck with your studies and take care of yourself too ^^

Well, I received a request about how I make glowing objects, as in this image: there are two types of glow, one of which also has a light effect and illuminates nearby objects with the light of the desired color ;) And I realized that it is impossible to answer such questions in the simple text. Therefore, I decided to make a lesson on this topic, but only after I finish work on the current sets. In addition, work on current luminous objects will help me in compiling a lesson and producing images for illustrative purposes.

Also my english is not so good, so I use Google Translate. And It means that I will need more time for writing of tutorial.  Thank you for your attention and your understanding. ^__^’’

OKAY GOTTA UPDATE THIS BECAUSE ERTYEZ JUST HACKED IN SOME PLACES IN CHAPTER 5 AND UMMM

Here grab the vid but the point is:

So there is this place which isn’t really the one I pointed at (at the map it looks like as if it’s the one close to the letter “W” in “I KNOW THE WAY” so Idk what’s up with that, maybe I looked at it wrong, who knows).

THE THING IS WHEN YOU HACK BEHIND IT THERE IS THIS PLACE

WITH A DOOR

And there is nothing behind them, but doesn’t that make sense if it was a secret path? The team working on the game is more than aware that people will hack in their game (heck, they even throw easter eggs especially to be found thanks to hacking!), but solving some mysteries shouldn’t be done just thanks to hacking because while it’s sorta fun HOW MUCH MORE FUN is trying to actually solve a puzzle and find a secret?

I believe there is a way to activate them.

The two levers we can pull. Two axes? Henry isn’t able to pick up when people hack into their locations? But maybe it’s protected from hacking, who knows? The three searchers which… work in a slightly different way. If you back out of the part of the corridor they spawn in, they just disappear. You don’t even need to fight them. I don’t think it’s a bug, it happened to me every time I played.

ALSO

INTERESTING CHOICE OF THE PICTURE HERE HUH

I must admit I tried playing with it but I can’t really figure out what to do, so hopefully this will be helpful for someone else X’D

I noticed this too. I don’t know if it has any correlation, but in the hideout’s aquarium, there’s an axe lying inside it. You probably can’t even get it, I just wonder if it has any connectikn.

Thank you so much, it’s really an adorable sketch and I really love it <3 You’re really a kind and amazing person ^^

I too think there’s possibly another ending, but there’s something : Bendy being defeated by showing him The End is logical as he’s the only “pure toon” since he don’t have a human soul to stabilise him and prevent him to get twisted into the monster we know. And how a cartoon end ? With The End. Not with an axe in the head or any other weapon, and it’s the reason why he was invincible until now : as a pure and soulless toon and not a classical living being, no conventional mean could defeat him, only toon logic - The End in this case - could do something. Henry’s weapon worked on the others toons and ink creatures only because they had a human soul, making them more like us in a way, as they basically were human turned into toons, not pures toons like Bendy. Here’s my theory about it here and a theory I found here who explain a bit better what I mean ^^

And if there’s no other ending, then this one is logical : we saw what happened just before Henry enter the studio, he finally put an end to the ritual and set everyone free after so many trials, breaking the implied time loop since the hidden messages are written by Henry himself. The proof ? Wally and Allison’s letters. They never would have made them as toons and Joey is telling to his niece how Henry saved the trapped workers as implied by the child asking him for another story. So yes, it’s a happy end. Joey is alive, Henry made it out of the studio and went back to his family, same for the others characters. Yes, the others are/were back to life once Henry did his job, because the peoples were murdered so their souls could be used for the toons. Using The End broke the time loop, bringing back the peoples to life. And as I said, Wally and Allison would never have been able to send a letter to Joey if they were dead or still toons. The links I gave goes in more details about what I’m saying so don’t hesitate to check if needed, but I hope my summary make sense ^^

Adobe-outdesign’s theory here is also an interesting one I think ^^ According to her, Joey is telling a story by using creatures made of ink based on peoples he knew…

Honestly, I love that you took time to try and help me out with the idea of the ending. I really do want to believe that it’s the true end. But the thing is, most of the game hammers in the point that Joey is a habitual liar. It’s highly possible that Joey lied entirely about how the entire game was just a story, and how Henry got there in the first place. Neither of those theories take into account that Joey might be lying about the whole thing. It’s something that grates me, and there’s far too many loose ends to accept the ending in it’s entirety.

I might be looking for clues in the wrong places, but it feels too ‘off’ to me that Bendy’s the first one out of the gate with the Ink Machine – Joey seems entirely like the kind of guy who’d rather try and do something simplistic first, like Charlie or Edgar, not the star of the show. Maybe it’s me, but that’s probably where I would have started with the whole satanic ritual thing going on. There’s also some of the texts sounding a bit too off under the Lens of Truth’s gaze – Like, why would Henry call his drawings ‘beautiful’? As an artist, he’d be the most critical on his work – most artists tend to be their own worst judges, after all.

I just… I just cannot accept either idea as the end-all-be-all ending. I just want people to notice that it feels too off and unsatisfactory, is all.

You’re welcome @aquillis-main​ ^^ Yes, Joey is a liar, but the tapes are telling what really happened I think - Hell, Henry even wrote “That’s the Joey I knew” near a tape from what I saw on a pic here - and I guess that bringing to life the star of the show first is the best idea since he’s well, the star and it’s logical to get the star first to attract peoples ^^ And as Tom said, Joey seemed to think magic and engineering were similar while it wasn’t, because he wanted to use magic to really bring the toons to life, not have them like automatons - kind of like the animatronic Bendy. The problem was that for the toons to be really alive and not be twisted monsters, they needed a soul, and that’s why the next experiments were done with killing the characters who had the strongest connection to the corresponding toons. It obviously backfired as magic isn’t something easy and I didn’t know at first that it was basically a life for a life and that it basically created a time loop so that someone could try and fix it as it’s something that should never have been done -_-’

But now that everything is in ruin, I think he realized what he did wasn’t worth it, so he didn’t lie when Henry came, but still blamed him to not have tried harder to stop him as his greed and ambition ended up destroying what he build and took from the others… Yeah, blame your friend for you fuck up, Joey, as if it wasn’t entirely your fault è_é It show that he seem to have changed a bit, but still kept some bad habits -_-’ And I think Henry don’t know - at least yet, I guess ? - that the golden writting is done by himself, so he writing that he draw beautifully doesn’t seem that farfetched ^^ But yeah, no matter if it’s a story told by Joey through ink creatures and/or a time loop with metaphors, Henry did made it out of that hell hole, same for the others ^^ And  theniceprincessartblog reblogged adobe-outedsign’s post here and added : 

So the theory of the game being at least partly as story told by Joey seem to hold some water.. Still, I agree that it’s an unusual end for a game, and that’s probably why it upset some peoples who would have prefered a more clear ending ^^ I too didn’t expect such an ending and was surprised, but I’m quite fine with it as it there’s no other ending, then I still got what I consider a happy end with the explanations I gave, but of course, it’s just my opinion ^^ We’ll probably have to wait a bit to discovers all the secrets from the chapter 5 and maybe the others too ^^

..Maybe it’s Joey’s inability to tell a good story that’s keeping me from thinking like that. I honestly don’t think either the flashback idea, nor the whole thing being a story fits well with what’s presented in the story before chapter 5. I just… I dunno, I feel like it’s too soon to think that it is everything, though.

Also, people have mentioned that Joey still clings to his persona when he was the owner/director of Joey Drew Studios at the scene when Henry and Joey meet up, it feels to me like he’s holding back the truth from Henry there. Ah, I always expected that it’ll end anti-climatically anyways, since that’s how most horror movies go through it.

Well, Joey being unable to tell a good story show what Henry said in his tape : he’s a man of ideas, and only ideas, @aquillis-main​ ^^ And ideas don’t always lead to a good story ^^ You’re right, and it’s something I don’t like with horror movies/thrillers and the like : why the ending is often implied to not be the end, when most of the time, it could’ve and/or should’ve been the case -_-’ You’re right, he still got his persona, and it’s even more obvious when he blame Henry for being at least partly responsible of his own deeds, when the poor man is totally innocent. Him holding the truth wouldn’t be surprising, even more so if he’s facing story!Henry, maybe to prevent him to try and contact true!Henry to get help… After all, Joey seem to be the kind of man to like to have control… It show he’s still got his manipulative assholish side, and that’s why I don’t have sympathy for him, even if he recognize he did bad things, as he refuse to admit it was totally on him, and not on even remotly partly on Henry. As I said, he was a full grown man, he should never have needed the impulse control that Henry seemed to be to realise that killing employees to use their souls for cartoons was a bad thing *facepalm* But no, let’s blame poor Henry for not having stopped him before it was too late when not only killing employees is something that should’ve be obvious it’s a thing to not do, and the poor man would have never imagined that he would go to such lenghts all for the sake of a dream and ambition -_-’ You know what ? I’m starting to think it was one of the reasons Henry left… He was obviously working too much, and he had a girlfriend, he also had to try and stop Joey as much as he could to run the company in the wall when they were just getting started thanks to his ideas… So one day, he probably got fed up and then decided to leave, thinking that his work and putting up with Joey’s stupid ideas wasn’t worth the risk to lose Linda whom he loved dearly as well as his healt. And with no one strong enough to stop him, well, we know what happened : Joey used the Ink Machine to bring the toons to life, but to make them more lifelike, he sacrificed his employees and years later, he called back Henry to fix his mess since he isn’t the kind of man to face the consequences of his actions head-on like his friend -_-’ And maybe he was unable to stop what he started by himself since the magic he used backfired and someone untainted by the magic, the true creator - Henry - could do something about that… And if he’s using a living ink creature - if the Joey is telling a story by using ink creatures modeled after peoples he knew is true, which seem to be ? - then it’s as horrible. Because he’s venting his frustration on the poor story!Henry who got an inkling of what he is, even if Joey gave him Henry Stein memories so he had a personality and could act the same way true!Henry would have, but can’t really escape - with the others ? - until he find the way that Joey probably hid… He’s venting on story!Henry because he know he can’t do anything against him since he “created” him, and Joey would never be able to face Henry Stein since the man would probably have chewed him on for all the bullshit he pulled… Joey is a hyprocritical bastard… And… Oh my god… I’ve just realised something :o Story!Henry is as soulless as Bendy, but as I said Joey gave him Stein’s personality O_o That would explain why the ink never claimed him unlike it would have any other ink creature beside Bendy and his resilience, and the fact that when wounded, it was ink we saw on the screen, not blood :O And Joey realising that sacrificing peoples was a bad idea, he didn’t use any soul, story!Henry is basically a living puppet with datas of the real one and not only does he feel it/doubt it, but there’s nothing he can do but play to his “creator”’s tune, even if unwilling and still trying to find a way to escape… Oh boy, that make things so horrible to a whole new level - as horrible as murdering the employees since these ink creatures are as alive as any other living being, they’re just different - and that make Joey even more of a monster, even if he got regrets because he play with them as if they were mere dolls… I can imagine Henry Stein coming to visit Joey and seeing his inky clone, both are surprised and Stein give a piece of his mind to Joey after he learn what his poor double had to go trough countless time and finally breaking him and the others ink creatures finally free of Drew’s grasp XD

And it’s the true Henry who set them free, the end :D Ooh, I think it gave me a little plot bunny idea for a fanfic :o Maybe I’ll work on it, who know *shrug*

Oh yeah, I’m curious to see what’s about that book too and that there’ll be more info and answers ^^ There’s also the secrets that we have yet to uncover in game, I think ^^ After all, they did say that all our anwsers would be in the game, unless I’m mistaking, of course ^^

I too think there’s possibly another ending, but there’s something : Bendy being defeated by showing him The End is logical as he’s the only “pure toon” since he don’t have a human soul to stabilise him and prevent him to get twisted into the monster we know.

My Interpretation of Chapter 5′s Ending

IMPORTANT: We are probably missing info at this point and there may still be hidden endings. This is just my immediate reaction/theory.

Also, I’m not sure how much of this has been said/explained, so forgive me if someone else has covered this.

Okay, so first, we need to split the Bendy-verse into two: There’s Joey Drew Studios:

Notice how it’s sketchy.

Then, there’s the real world: It looks real. Duh.

So here’s what I think is going on: BATIM is literally a story. But before you get upset, let me finish, because it’s not in the way you’re thinking.

So first, all the employees are based off of real-life people who worked for him - Wally Franks used to work at the studio and now has grand kids, Allison found work elsewhere and married Thomas, etc. Even the overdue bills are a nod to the studio’s debt (though that part probably actually happened). Not to mention “Little Miracle Radio and TV Service” - you know, stations.

And Joey’s storyboarded out some ideas for the plot:

However, before you flip out and start crying about how this was all fake, consider:

This means that Henry someone who Joey can interact with (specifically, he’s based on Henry Stein, who was indeed Joey’s old coworker). And in the ending…

Henry is able to walk into the studio, which is an actual thing connected to Joey’s house. And the story repeats - which lines up perfectly with Joey’s niece asking him to tell that story again (what kid doesn’t like demonic sacrifices?).

And we see…

The Ink Machine - the thing that creates cartoons - in Joey’s IRL home.

If you don’t understand what I’m getting at: While BATIM may be a story, it’s literally real - because Joey made it real using the Ink Machine. All those characters, the studio location? It’s all real, physical stuff that exists in the real world, even if it’s all technically ink.

The Henry that we know is based off of Henry Stein, but he’s actually one of Joey’s characters. At the end, he goes back trough the story again at Joey’s nieces request. Note how Joey says he’s early - probably because he wasn’t all the other times. This is why Henry keeps having flashbacks, as if he’s been here before - because he has. Multiple times.

Also note that Joey acknowledges that things have gone south for him, and he hasn’t done very well - pretty symbolic that the Ink Demon seems to have once been Joey in the story itself, isn’t it?

This is why you can take Bendy down with the last reel - the one that shows the end. It literally ends the story Joey’s been telling and lets you leave the inky sketch world for a bit. Henry even has another flashback, as he’s definitely done this once before (how else do you think he knows how to?).

I’d even wager he’s the one who left the messages on the walls in previous story tellings - Allison says whoever left them knows how to leave, and that would be Henry

And that sequencing at the beginning?

Wheelchair, as IRL Joey’s quite old by now and thus uses one. Ink Machine - thing he used to make this story. Bendy - story/product of said Ink Machine.

And finally: now that Joey’s business has failed, he can’t tell a nice story anymore about his old studio days. He can only view his memories, such as his former employees, as monsters. Hence this line:

TL;DR: BATIM is Joey’s story - his memories of his olden days of the studio, now corrupted by his regret over his past, hence the monsters. He has literally brought this story and the characters (based off of actual people) to life in the real world via the IRL Ink Machine, including Henry. Story!Henry keeps repeating Joey’s story over and over, hence the flashbacks.

FINALLY SOME TYPE OF EXPLANATION

I DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED JDNNDNDNDJD FUUKKKK

Another thing. THE PARTS ARE LITERALLY CALLED CHAPTERS. IT WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR FUCKING FACE—

Oh boy, that make the theory of the Henry we play and the the others characters as ink versions of peoples Joey knew and he telling a story to his niece make even more sense, but still, as I said in my reblog here, if story!Henry was an ink creature, there would still be the problem of the ink claiming him sooner or later unless it’s symbolical ^^

I too think there’s possibly another ending, but there’s something : Bendy being defeated by showing him The End is logical as he’s the only “pure toon” since he don’t have a human soul to stabilise him and prevent him to get twisted into the monster we know. And how a cartoon end ? With The End. Not with an axe in the head or any other weapon, and it’s the reason why he was invincible until now : as a pure and soulless toon and not a classical living being, no conventional mean could defeat him, only toon logic - The End in this case - could do something. Henry’s weapon worked on the others toons and ink creatures only because they had a human soul, making them more like us in a way, as they basically were human turned into toons, not pures toons like Bendy. Here’s my theory about it here and a theory I found here who explain a bit better what I mean ^^

Story!Henry keeps repeating Joey’s story over and over, hence the flashbacks.

That’s a pretty good theory :D But the problem is that the ink would have ended up claiming story!Henry sooner or later as he would be an ink creature like Allison and Tom, but then I thought of something : if it’s a story and Joey made story!Henry the hero, then he could have given him immunity to the ink :o Still, Joey is doing something cruel then, because he’s using a living character to tell his story and make him go trough this horror again and again and it’s not good, because it’s obvious story!Henry have feelings like the others creatures even if he’s make of ink like them... That mean Joey hasn’t let go his manipulative behavior... Unless of course, part of it is symbolical ^^
