Inspiration
I was inspired by being a writer myself. When writing sometimes its hard to imagine what a certain character will look like or how the world building looks. Mood boards can only take one so far, thats why I thought itd be cool to make a 3D model based on the writer`s vision and bring characters, scenes and worldbuilding to life.
What it does
For now our focus is on characters. So the user simply selects what they want to see in a model and get`s result.
How we built it
We built it using HTML, CSS and Javascript. All credit belongs to the respective owners. We also used Spline to design the outfits.
Challenges we ran into
At first we wanted to use 3D models but found Blender challenging as beginners so instead we switched to 2D. Even then we struggled to make the outfits fit according to the exact models body type. Coding it was a bit challenging and time consuming too and AI tools did help, but sometimes gave us wrong results so we had to navigate that.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Im simply proud that an idea of mine came to life. I do believe in improving it but they say done is better than perfect. Im excited to see it`s future.
What we learned
To always pay attention even to the most minor details. To learn and utlize new skills. To map our time and be better at time management.
What's next for Inkwell
The idea is to start incorporating characters in 3D then move to other aspects of story writing.
