Hey guys, what's up? Today we are creating another Fortnite miniature map. This is THE AGENCY!
This is the biggest Fortnite map I have ever created.
Maybe you remember the volcano
and we even made it erupt and
this one this what we are creating right now is even bigger than the volcano.
The agency! Well, I wanted to just create the agency,
but then I saw this beautiful waterfall and the bridge and
the lake and so it became bigger and bigger and while I was flying
in overview mode, in the replay I knew that this would be
really really gigantic yeah.
So, let's get started with clay and
working with this beautiful blueprint I have created
and I have even printed it out three times because
well for now we are focusing on the landscape and I can just cut it out the way I need it to be.
Then we will focus on the buildings.
It's not only the Agency. We will have some further buildings and then all the trees,
so this will be a huge project we are building right now,
and that's not all.
We will not only focus on this Fortnite map. No!
I have some exciting news! The clayclaim studio got hired to create
an even bigger map and by bigger, I mean like...
20, 30 times this map which will be insane
and this project means the world to me.
Let me tell you more about it.
It all started last year on the most crowded Games event on Earth Gamescom.
I met the people behind the successful mobile RPG Summoners War
come to us celebrating Summoners War six year anniversary this year
and they remembered meeting me on Gamescom and what I was doing with clay.
Now, they asked if we could create a gigantic miniature map
in the studio of the Summoners War world map for the celebrations.
Over the next weeks, we'll be building a gigantic miniature map
for Summoners War six year anniversary
here in the studio on this very table.
The biggest clay artwork I have ever worked on
with the help of the guys here in the studio.
And we thought it would be great to keep you updated.
Take you on this creative journey and make a live stream every two weeks.
I hope you will enjoy this gigantic miniature map adventure starting on May 27th
here on the channel with a live stream.
I can't tell you how excited I am about this huge project and to be quite honest...
I'm a little bit frightened because we have never gotten
such a huge project to create, such a huge artwork to create
and of course I want to
produce a good entertaining video for you guys.
I want the client to be happy and I want to have fun with the guys in the studio, as well.
So, a lot of pressure.
I'm completely honest, but I am so so thankful for the whole project
I can't wait until it really gets started with the live streams
and if you like we could even play together during the live stream Summoners War.
I'll include a link down in the description.
So, check it out. We have already installed like five webcams for the live stream.
Well over the next days we will do some testings in the studio
Until it all works.
So, enough about this project.
Yes. I am excited,
but still we were building a Fortnite map.
We are building the Agency and I wanted to thank all of you who asked me
to create this map. It took me nearly two weeks
to create this one. I wasn't creating each and every day,
but the whole process took two weeks and
yeah, thanks a lot for your comments to create it.
I enjoyed the whole process.
I enjoyed creating the landscape
these streets like right now
and the mountains. Well, to be honest. I thought I'd use any kind of crap clay
I would not need anymore
just to fill out the mountains that they get some volume
and I ended up using old clay.
I ended up using grey clay on the places where you can see the rocks later
and I used some aluminum foil.
I will show you that in a minute. This is the waterfall.
This is the reason why the whole map got so huge
because I wanted this place to be part of the miniature map
because it just looks so beautiful. Not only the waterfall.
We will create the the bridge, the damaged bridge
and yeah, so this is
the highest part of the mountains
and I will guide you through the process which I did.
I am using grey clay for all the rock details
and then I'll take just a light filling material
like the aluminum foil for example
and while building I had my laptop on the left side
with Fortnite running 12 hours straight each day for 2 weeks
to get each and every mountain right.
To get each and every path and street right.
Well, maybe it was not two weeks, but nearly two weeks, maybe one and a half week.
Something like that. Well, still incredible and
after finding the shape of the mountains I started the coating process.
You can see the green clay, which is normally a very thin layer
and I can tell you we are running out of clay
and hopefully I'll make it through the whole process.
Let's put this aside because
we will focus on the Agency itself.
And I was scared before I started.
I have created buildings before, but when you look closely at the Agency
you see all these multiple levels.
You have four different floors
you have
the area which is going right into the lake.
This is the lowest point
and up to the highest building up to this huge tower with the opening
and I can tell you it took me a while, it took me a while to understand
how this building is working and I was playing a lot Fortnite lately,
so if you want to add me and maybe
we have the chance to play together just look for clayclaim and you'll find me on Fortnite.
Yeah, so...
Back to the creation.
We are adding some beautiful details to the very first level of the Agency.
These are some bushes, you know these
when you're playing Fortnite and when you have been to this very spot
and these are some statues,
It's called statues, right?
We will create them later because right now I'm just afraid I'll break them.
We make an outline and we put this into the oven.
Freshly baked first layer, first level of the agency
and now that the grey clay is hard
we can start filling out all the opening spaces with different colors
and we still have this sharp edge between the different colors.
This is the entrance area and
the next building, part of the next building.
I told you before it's quite complicated and it took me a while to figure out
how this building, how this architectural structure is working
and this is the iconic shape of the smaller building.
And we'll put it right on top and this is the bigger building.
Thankfully I had another blueprint
and it almost looks like a stadium from on top,
but of course, that's not true.
We will find our way into the shape and remove some parts
to get in the details of the facade.
And it looks quite nice.
We put it in position then we have a tower on the right side with the entrance on top
and this connection part
with a plant underneath.
And we have the building on the left side also with a tiny tower as well
and some stairs and another entrance and we all have these roofs. So it was just crazy.
Another statue with a poor guy
holding this gigantic globe
and this turned out pretty well.
This is the famous. Let's call it famous symbol of the Agency.
Of course, I don't know if this is true, but it looks like
similar to the logo, the logo which we will find on the flag
We just added two trees also on the front.
I'm using a very very thin wire for that.
It's not the aluminum one. It's just regular wire
and then we have this opening inside the roof.
And it it felt somehow strange
to create also the inside so that you could look inside,
but that would be just insane.
Now the building is finished. Let's put it into the oven!
Freshly baked Agency!
It doesn't look like the Agency.
Well, somehow but of course, we will add some more details to that.
I think you will be surprised how we'll do that, but for now we are working on the ground.
This is our construction site.
We'll remove some clay
because the landscape
also plays an important role for the building itself.
It has to be the exact same height
and the front it's a little bit lower and the backside it's a little bit higher
and now that the building is oven hardened
we can start painting the roof, for example
with grey and a beautiful outline with silver.
Look at that we'll get there.
Maybe we can make the statues a little bit more shiny.
And we can place it on the little island.
I'm so curious while creating what could happen as a live event.
I remember the good old times
with loot Lake.
And maybe you remember
these live events as well when you played Fortnite since then
and with the liquid soap I was playing around. That was a beautiful video.
So this is...
This is the boat launch area
and we will even create a tiny tiny boat and the helicopter, of course.
another architectural piece of decoration.
I'm not sure maybe this has a special word.
Not sure about that.
Some more railings as well
This will be another spot for a flag. And then we have another
boat launching spot and the back side.
And this will be the platform for the helicopter.
It was quite useful to have the blueprint again
and the stairs to the platform, as well. I love that spot in the game
I used to fly around the islands to get an overview and
to understand the mountains and even the Agency itself
from the air and then we have these bunkers.
Well, what is that?
Can someone please explain to me what the function is of these bankers
inside the lake.
Because well I flew in in the replay and there is nothing
There has to be some kind of a secret tunnel
that would be amazing. I'd love that. I'd really love that.
Well, this is the beautiful hut in the forest on the left side.
With a red roof and a chimney and we'll create that, as well.
Just threw in some silver clay to make it a little bit shiny and this is the spot where it is going.
Okay, it already looks so idyllic
and then we have this very eager lumberjack building huts everywhere.
In the mountains and I think we have another one right there. Oh look at that
with a white roof and this beautiful bridge.
Well, I could have gone mad
and I could have spent hours and hours on the next neighborhood on the next buildings,
but somehow I decided that
the center of this map, the Agency
would take all my focus and I didn't want to spend
another few hours on all the details on the edge.
So, this is why the bridge looks the way it looks right now.
I think I could have made it better.
Also same goes for this neighborhood for the buildings,
but I can tell you again
I wanted to focus on the Agency itself
and to work on all the beautiful details and the bridge for example.
This is the second bridge we are creating and this is the wooden one the canyon
right in front of the waterfall
and I really love that spot not only in the game, but also in this artwork and the bridge is broken.
Okay, it looks quite nice.
This will be the wooden structure underneath
and I think it will look quite nice.
This is the caravan
with a lot of loot onto it with golden clay and then we take some red clay
for you can guess it.
I am pretty sure, you know what this will be.
It's the helicopter
and some of you were quite disappointed that I did not attach a helicopter,
that I did not put a helicopter into the shark island
and I think the main reason is
when I was playing when I was inside the replay
someone had already stolen the helicopter
and this was why I was not thinking about it.
So it's just a stupid excuse,
but this time I wanted to include him.
Also this beautiful vehicle
which is on the ground of the Agency
and then we have another truck we will add on the street
and we will glue all these details onto our miniature map after oven hardening
and it will look quite nice.
Maybe some day I find a way to create
some skins
in this scale and such a small scale, that would be amazing
to see some tiny just imagine some tiny tiny people running around on this miniature map.
Oh, maybe I can get in some ants.
Well during all my map tutorials I created trees in different ways.
I used different materials,
but this is the technique I like the most.
It is made out of clay. Well, except for the trams I made just with a wire.
We have some beautiful flowers on the ground yellow flowers. I'm just setting these.
And I'm quite happy with these trees.
We have a very thin trunk we can create pine trees,
we can create all the leaf trees as well
and this is the wire. It's really really thin and we can even paint it for the birch
and we will also add some really really colourful orange and maybe a little bit of yellow
into the leaves of the birch.
Here we go.
Adding it on top. Oh, it looks so beautiful.
Well, it's still quite colorful.
I'm not sure if it is too colorful compared to the gameplay, but after oven hardening
somehow the colours...
Well, they don't really fade, but they lose a little bit this strong
shiny effect they have especially the green
I used for the grass and that's okay.
I can work with that. It took me a while to figure out how all the different clay colors are changing
while oven hardening
and most of the colors are not changing a lot, but this bright green is one exception.
It gets a little bit darker,
well, not so much but still it's a difference.
This is the liquid clay and finally
we also have the huge bottles in the online store clayclaim.com
If you want your hands on one of these bottles.
It's quite funny to work with in almost every creation I guess
and we are ready to go into the oven.
Freshly baked landscape around the Agency. Yeah, that's the official name
of what we are creating right now. We can remove the barriers.
I just stick some clay there that the liquid clay would not flow away
and this is the transparent polish to make the liquid clay
really transparent and
and I love this process. It's so satisfying because
after drying, it really looks like water. And now let's take this white pen.
I need a thinner white pen and I haven't found any since yet. Maybe some of you know
or have an alternative for me where to get
a very very thin white pen that could be quite helpful, I'd appreciate that.
Now that we place the helicopter we also have this truck
and we will glue it onto the street
and then we have another truck
and the bridge and we will glue that over.
And I was so looking forward to that moment
when the ants are able to walk over.
No, it's not going to happen.
So with this white pen we can add some water bubbles on the water and we have these
water fountains inside the lake.
I made sure that these are the right spots.
And this is the last working step.
We are adding the flags, not only the blue ones.
Okay, this is the bigger one. We have the trousers.
Deadpool's trousers! I could not believe it until I saw it.
Go check it out in the game
If you don't believe me.
And with the silver pen we finish our artwork.
Guys, that's it THE AGENCY and the landscape around!
This is such an incredible huge map piece of Fortnite.
I really hope you enjoyed this video.
I am so excited about the Summoners War six-year anniversary.
Stay tuned about the live streams and our project we're doing right there.
Have a great weekend and take care guys. Bye!
Okay, where's the secret tunnel? The tunnel!
Guys I just wanted to say thank you for all your support,
for your likes your comments. I hope you enjoyed the video.
Stay healthy. Stay creative.
