  Hey, I'm just using CMDCam-Mod 1.12.2. and I film using OBS Studios (it's free and doesn't cause lagging like some other screen capture - so simple and 4K quality) ...I should say it doesn't cause as much lagging....
  I have Replay-mod.....but don't really know how to use it. I think it's a better mod for tutorials and time lapse etc. When I have some brain space to learn things....I'll get to it.

  Happy New Year To Everyone! :D
  
  
  The Planting continues in Tuscany...
  
  Having had enormous fun creating a formal pleasure garden, I now focus on creating pastures and fields.
  
  I recently enjoyed viewing The Westfold Project by ArdaCraft; I have been completely inspired by their amazing crop fields!
  I highly recommend checking it out!
  
  I'm not gonna lie to you....I have tried to emulate their creative genius as completely as I can. Alas, it is coming a lot harder to me, than it seems to the team at ArdaCraft....
  
  thanks for the inspiration guys :D
  
  here are my attempts..... :|

  Having survived the annual migratory convergence of my ancestral lineage
  (a Family Christmas) -
  
  
  I managed to duck away and forge on with the Tuscany Project.
  
  Under the influence of perhaps a little too much Christmas Cheer, I started on a Pleasure Garden for the Castle. An elaborate and decorative hedge maze can be found at the end of a Grand avenue, leading off the Western flank of the Castle.
  
  For someone who feared building a "Castle', I seem to be having way too much Fun :D
  
  
  This is a shot of the Western Flank before planting....
  
  
  
  After Planting.....
  
  
  This is what I got up to....

  Building Castles is a blast! You get to think about how people could live in it, where the kitchens are, where the King would sleep, and his courtesans and friends. The guard barracks, all that stuff.
  
  Great Job my Aussie friend, keep up the good work!

  :D When choosing subject matter for a new building project; the Sky is usually the limit! Anything is possible!
  
  However..... having said that; there are a few Iconic Build Subjects/Items that intimidate the Begeebers out me.
  
  Two in particular stand out as Way Too Hard - Not having Fun - Not Gonna do it!! They being Churches and Castles.
  With their rigid archetypes and need for strict adherence to form; these two subjects are daunting and extremely difficult to successfully achieve.
  
  Being entirely distracted by the enchanting Tuscan landscape and its mystical gardens; I seem to have neglected to account for the multitudinous Churches and Castles that litter the Tuscan Landscape. Facepalm! ...Too late now :(
  
  So here goes........
  These are my first attempts.

  Hey CF's :D Thanks for the Message!
  I just started working on some detailing around windows now! I've added the shallowest of buttresses...despite all the advances made by their Renaissance - the Tuscan's just don't do buttresses! They have much less glass in their walls than Northern European Churches, I s'pose.
  Thank You, as always for your Excellent advice. Shall go play around now.
  
  ps....I didn't know they made vertical slabs. ....I live in a bubble!??!
  I'm so glad you let me know! I must get me some vertical slabs :)
  
  pps........just wall posted some developments on the Castle. Couldn't help myself. Was having too much fun and made a full blown Castle with chapel and private residence, barracks and stables and 3 gatehouses.....so much for thee fortified dwelling :|

  I loved your fantasy projects. But THIS one ... is ... stunning. I love the Tuscany. It is one of my favorite places to go on vacations. And YOU have perfectly captured the feeling of this marvelous region. Also - as always - a perfectly matching background music of Aspirin. Thanks for sharing!

  Hi to all, Please forgive my having to re-publish my Tuscany Build Video.
  Due to a very slight, but entirely annoying delayed Audio Sync problem (Peaking my OCD!) - I relented and uploaded the video again (does include some footage of the new Villa).

  Returning to Solo building with Taking on Tuscany has been a lot of fun and an amazing adventure into Tuscan Architecture. The simplistic landscaping has been challenging. After the last few fantasy builds; realism can feel restraining, proving a little difficult...
  
  A big Shout out to Aspirin60 for another beautiful musical accompaniment!

Cib Corner - Interview with Roman_95

then I would not be where I am today. I started with 2D sculptures. I built
them block by block and the final result suited me.They were small (from
20 to 50 blocks in height). A few weeks later, it was not enough for
me and so I started building 3D sculptures. I did not see any guides on
the construction of Dragons or the construction of sculptures in
general so I was self-taught."



"When
I began creating 3D sculptures, the dimensions of 3D and 2D sculptures
were the same. 50 blocks height? Not enough. Need more! But I soon
realized that building a sculpture block by
block with big dimensions was difficult and took a very long time to make.

Spoiler

From my previous PMC avatar

Q. To date, which project did you most enjoy working on/creating?
A. There isn't one particular project. The projects I liked working on most of all were:
"Allosaurus", "Acrocanthosaurus", "Huge fantasy Dragon", "Dragon on
skyscraper", "The Dragoness", "Come to me into hell". For many reasons. Most

of all I liked working on the colors of these projects, this is the
common main reason.




Q. Do you have any advice for members out there who may be interested in following in your footsteps?
A. Think whether you're interested in it. If you are, build something that you
really like, because you only get the pleasure from the construction
process.

And
that concludes the interview! After thanking Roman_95 for his time, we
part ways and I walk away with my fingers crossed, hoping nothing will
eat me.
