Replacement Ideas for Raffle Tier? (Patreon)

Right.

So this Saturday, I am removing the Raffles reward. I don't like doing them anymore, and apparently $250 USD for ~30 seconds of animation isn't enough motivation for others to animate raffles on my behalf.

I would like to replace the Raffles reward tier with something else, but I don't know what.

What all would you guys and gals like to see as a replacement for the reward tier? Or, alternately, even if you yourselves wouldn't like to see it, what do you think would be a good thing others might want to see instead?

Feel free to either write in your idea as a private message, or post it here as a comment.

Do what you feel is the best option, I mean I could personally use an extra 250 given that my job situation is...well anyways, do what you must, keep up the good work, man

Hivedragon

Uhm maybe a picture reward instead

Max Chen

I agree with Hivedragon. Maybe a pinup or poster would be a good replacement and it requires less work.

Well, I don't personally think anyone would consider a poster worth $20, even if it's a really good one. But then, I'm a complete miser. I personally think $15 is too much for early access, let alone a 1080p render of an otherwise-free 720p video. So my opinion isn't really valid there. Similarly, I also have to keep in mind that *in theory* the rewards aren't "buying" things, but supporting artists. So that $20 isn't going to "buying a picture", but "showing support" and getting a picture as a freebie. I'd love to hear some feedback on this thought.

Max Chen

If you put it that way, it does sort of make sense that 20$ is a little bit too much for a poster. What about comics than? 2 to 4 pages of sfm comics sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me. Not sure if that'll require more work or less. Just an idea for you to consider.

I think the problem with animations is more that ppl like me for example animate in blender instead of SFM. or that we don't know if our quality would be enough, as you set kind of a standard ^^ (my stuff would need more polish i think. also i am still just working on my own female base + rig so i can start making characters) As for rewards: how about more insight into your work. (i don't know how SFM works but: could you for example release setups of old animations? and would ppl like that? or maybe a different angle for an animation)

Has a big fan of your models, I would love a raffle where you could take a model you have done and then add some materials to make it look different. ie Miranda in something other than her ME uniform. Just don't know how many of your supporters are learning SFM. Or just more tutorials?

divebomber

tks for replying. I really like that idea of options for winner of raffle. just know I am just happy with all you have done with SFM. As someone learning SFM, I can appreciate the work it requires to do this.

I was thinking of contacting you about those 30 second animations, but I'm freelancing and currently contracted full-time for a project until next spring, so I decided to wait :) My idea (and my own future plan) is to have some limited interactivity. Like, import models + animation into Unity / UE4, add a bit of dialogue for flavor and allow the user to rotate the camera. Also: possible option for VR viewing, yay! I'm fluent with Unity, learning UE4 and I'm all but married to Blender, plus 18 years of software development. Maybe we can work something out in the future?

Um. How about instead of a reward, more of the regular stuff? Like making your regular stuff longer? Or getting your projects done faster without the distraction of a monthly mini-project like the raffles. I'm fine with just you doing the big stuff.

There's always a vote system. Have a few quick scenes roughed out and have us unwashed masses vote on what gets finished. Or the occasional vote on which old scene gets updated/redone/a sequel. Both these ideas would be a prosses with a scene taking a couple months so you have more time on the big projects.

Yetila

How about creating a list of projects you done before with a continuation of another scene + new projects you want to do and letting people vote on what they want to see next? Personally I'd like to see more Samus stuff and a sequel of the 3min Alori vid :) If you wanted to take it further how about the start of each month, have a week/day dedicated to patrons sending in suggestions and the most common idea gets accepted or placed on the list, if a winning idea is not found then just leave the list as is.

Tubal

You could do what another artist I follow does and make a vote for the steps in a sequential series, or raffle out who gets to choose. He just doesn't put things he doesn't want to do as options. He does a CYOA comic, but you could also do sequential scenes in a longer animation etc.

What if you did one of your Faith clips with input from the winner?

lordaardvarksfm

I'm not going to lie, it's kind of disheartening whenever people confuse me with other people. I have NEVER done anything with Faith, and I don't even know who the hell Alori is (at Yetila). You people are thinking of someone else.
