Had to take a break from the enviro stuff my hands were hurting from it, so I knocked out a bunch of short coding task and also made a few additional outfits for hero, in addition to improving the textures. Will be working on second pass at enemy character models and then animations in coming weeks before finishing out…
@Fabi_G wow! thank you so much. you ever have that feeling like you know you have forgotten something but aren't sure what it was? That's how I felt about these illustrations. Like they were close to what I wanted but not quite sure how to bring it all together. Your examples make them feel completed rather than abstract…
Will share a workflow here because was difficult to figure out: How to add tattoos to a 3d character? The first and probably most obvious choice is to use stencils in your texturing app and just manually paint the tattoos. Problem with this is that any tattoo which wraps around something like arm becomes very tedious as…
Tested out maya live link with unreal and it's pretty good to be able to preview animations in real time. But feedback is a bit choppy so its really only good for blocking in. Little details don't read at all. Not sure if it really speeds things up or not, but definitely nice to get some immediate feedback. Character…
Pay to play, if we keep up with the model of how things are going the micro-transaction game in a different way... is what i see/mean.That is why backing up all the old stuff is imperative and why they are attacking sources that do just that, so you have no options. Not to quickly reply or anything i just got to get ahead…
@pxgeek I have not used mixer but using megascans in general would probably take care of a large portion of my environment texturing needs. The only issue is that it kind locks me into a realistic style which I'm not 100% sure it best approach yet. I mean, I know for sure that in terms of shape language and general layout…
It's amazing how even a little bit of set dressing and some music can add a lot to the overall feel of the game. Some random notes that came to mind: -I like the addition of the cypress trees. They break up the skyline. It might even be a good idea to have other types of trees for some variety in shape and size, as some…
I think it's fascinating what you're attempting here in this thread. What would be usually done by large teams of individuals of different disciplines; you're doing solo is just crazy to me. So while I'm not qualified to make any kind of declaration about what is good game design, I can share some personal opinions from a…
some WIP on this one. taking some time to experiment with design of the gorgon character. decided to remove extra arms. made overall slimmer and gave colors similar to a king cobra rather than teal. Couldn't get her face to something I liked so for now I consider a shawl. But not totally in love with her design yet. I…
a lot of work done on the character controller but probably still a few more days to complete its overhaul. notably, I changed the dive from root motion to act more like traditional jump. it consist of three separate animations, a begin, a looping middle, and an end. This way the distance of the jump can be configurable…
