3D [Infinity Series] Works-In-Progress Mega Thread

Elves. Soon. I want to make the armor a bit better and make a 2nd version. Maybe I'll do that in an update.

 

Elves wearing human armor, and then both types mixed together.

 

Goal is to get the Skeleton released tonight! And the Elves later this week. They both came in w/ fixes, but the Skeleton is the easier to get out, so I'll do that first.

Looks like subscription update and email update is working again (just in time for Elves yay!), but I'm getting 2x every email (subscription status change and email status change)

 

Ah I think that's a bug. I thought it was happening to me because I sent myself a copy of emails that others get, but it sounds like's not just happening to me. I'll look into it.

 

Also, elves I was hoping to have done tonight, but an update to the female shirt came back and the shirt, for some reason, is off center, so I need to wait for that to get updated again

 

I really need to update the first post with what's being worked on. I'm happy with the texture artist I've hired, and the modeler as well who has been doing characters for a while (And the leather armor).

This is a Troll WIP for the texturing. Will be animated after the Minotaur.

There are two animators right now -- Katy, the animator who has been w/ me the longest, who is working on humanoids, and another artist who has been doing the rest.

 

The Ogre/Troll is looking great and Minotaur will be a welcome addition - getting time to make use of them will be the harder part. ;p

The skeletons textures look very traditional RPG, i.e. very clean. Is there any dirty/un-clean versions included too?

 

That is the dirty version In Painter though, it's real easy to replace the metal just by bringing in a new smart material and turning off the existing. Usually there isn't much cleanup, if any, required.

 

Oh, I meant on the bones themselves, not the armour and gear. No worries, I found the page in the asset store as it is approved.

 

Ah ok -- let me look into that.

 

Oh nice looking packages, are some behind on Unity version here, stopped after getting Unity 5 pro.

 

Untextured Harlequin character. I plan on having this one do some crazy tricks in the animations including full 360 rotation of the head...and nothing else. because it's creepy.

 

This won't be part of the subscription, as it will be offered at $19.99

But, the Accessories Pack is almost ready! (tomorrow, as it's getting late)

These should work with any character with fingers or a neck or an arm. They're not rigged, so there could be some issues with wrist/forearm animation depending on the animations etc.

Mesh Morphing allows for a lot more flexibility than simple scaling. Gems & Rivets are ready to be placed on "Gem slots" on the rings and one of the bracers. New/Old versions of many texture sets per object.

There's over 7GB of Substance Painter files available for these, as I wanted to make sure there were high res textures for close ups.

 

Something interesting, I just got the email about the Skeleton pack being available in my old email address, but no subscription charge / access to it, but then I got the accessories email in my updated email address.

 

I had a bug in my email script, which is set to slowly email everyone, where it wasn't sending -- I fixed the bug, and the queue started processing. Chances are the Skeleton was set to go to the old address I'd think? That was originally set to go out last week.

You should have been charged however, and gotten an email about that. Let me know if you did not. The two emails -- the charge notice and the "new pack" email, are separate.

 

While importing your assets, I always get a popup saying that they haven't been updated to use the new 2018 Substance plugin. Screenshot
It links to This Page.
Since I don't have 2017 installed (No room on my PC), I can't follow the update instructions.
Do you plan to go through all of your assets and update them all? I know it'd be a huge job, but I'm not sure what might be broken by me using them without properly updating them.

 

What are the chances of being able to replace the hair on the elves with different hair styles?
That would make the morphs a lot more unique, I think.

 

Yeah -- the update will remove the .sbsar files though A while back I decided to stop including the .sbsar for two reasons. One,b because the results weren't ever as good as what you can get from using the substance painter source files, and, more importantly, because the support for .sbsar files isn't built in, and I don't want to have to support a 3rd party plugin that may or may not keep working -- for the first 6 month of 2018, it was actually destroying peoples projects.

Better to just not support it at all.

Maybe eventually. Hair is hard -- I'm really not super happy with how it looks due to the shader. If I had a better hair system, I'd be more likely to get more of it done.

 

That is the best possible answer I could have hoped for. The Substance plugin is my nemesis.
Do you know of any quick and easy fixes that I can use until then? I'd have to uninstall Unity 2018 if I wanted to install 2017. If I wind up following that rout, It'd look something like this:

1. Uninstall Unity 2018
2. Install Unity 2017
3. Build a new project
4. Import 15 of your assets, which tend to take about 10 minutes each
5. Use your texture exporter to export every sbsar file that I can find
6. Export the new textures to a new package
7. Uninstall Unity 2017
8. Install Unity 2018
9. Create a new project
10. Import 15 of your assets, which tend to take about 10 minutes each
    
11. Import the new package with the new textures
12. Reassign everything that uses sbsar files so that they use the new textures
13. Delete the sbsar files

I'm fairly sure that I'm waaay too lazy to do all of that.
So... If you can think of a better/faster way to eliminate the evil plugin, or if you plan to do that update soon(ish) please let me know.

 

The characters all should be only using traditional textures in the demo files -- the "Customizable Materials" folder can be excluded from those imports and it should just all work.

 

Guess what.

Elf Fantasy Pack PBR is now available at InfinityPBR: http://www.infinitypbr.com/index.php#elves

 

I have a quick question, with multiple SFB packs in a project, which SFB_BlendManager script is the one that should be used?

Each pack seems to change the script in a small way, so are they supposed to be unique to that pack and/or it's just meant for demo purposes and we should write our own systems?

Also, the sub and credit did go through as expected so that's good to go

 

The most recently created version.

I was under the impression that the script would be updated on import, but now I'm wondering, is it updated if you then import an older .unitypackage? I.e. updated to the older version?

The version from the latest released packs will always be the latest version, however. Updating all the old packs takes a looooooong time, so hopefully that would make sense. Until one day when Unity allows for multiple downloads, and I can link "utilities" to all my stuff.

 

From what I've encountered, if there's any difference at all, it'll overwrite the existenting one with the one contained in the package.

Easy enough for me to just keep the elf one when importing old packages though.

 

Good info, thanks -- I'll have to update the readme or something, or maybe provide a tool to download the latest utilities files from the server.

 

Another character to wait for texturing and animation... Fisherman? Fishman? Something else? Will come with a spear and a driftwood shield.

 

Minotaurs are coming, very soon.

 

Modeling has been started on a Scorpion monster!

 

Hi, I've been looking into getting your Rock Monster asset, but I was wondering if you could add in a blend shape modifier for height, or if feeling ambitious, a length modifier for the various submeshes. e.g. Short legs with long arms, or even more granular, short thighs with long shins (labeled legs in your demo video).

Thanks for your time!

 

Thanks for your interest and potential support

You can use the scale in the transform to make the monster taller, to some degree before it looks stretched.

However adjusting the proportions of the limbs etc can’t work as the animations / bone structure don’t get adjusted with the mesh, unfortunately

 

Good point. Thanks!

 

Whaaaaaat? Check your http://www.infinitypbr.com account, you've got 4 coupons for 50% off any pack! Why?? Because my stuff isn't in the May Madness Sale, that's why

 

You know what happened? I don't know exactly how, but the Mushroom Monster Pack PBR became free when I renamed it "Mushroom Monsters".

It won't stay free forever!

PS....5* reviews and ratings are super helpful

 

Working on the Troll Demo scene -- will be the next one released!

Also, the Scorpion has been sent to get textured.

 

Troll Pack is out! Available at InfinityPBR.com

 

You've been releasing a lot of characters lately.. and sounds like the half-orcs will be ready soon... after that will the Human characters get some love with additional armor/clothing ? I'm assuming the armor pack 1 will be added next. Really looking forward to some NPC clothing options to really bring my village to life.

 

Yes, two things happened. First, I'm finally not losing money (woo hoo!!!) which is nice -- subscriptions pay for a bit under half the cash I pay out for most characters, and regular sales fill in the rest, so long as I don't do too much in any one month. (Humanoids are much more expensive though)

Second, I have a modeler, texture artist, and animator that I'm using for most things, and keeping Katy the animator who's been with me the longest, doing the humanoids as her attention to detail is much higher than others. However, they are taking a long time. Half-orc is being aniationed and blend-shapified. The armor does take a heafty bit of QA too, as it's really really easy for parts of it to be messed up between the blend shapes and animation.

Once that's done, Katy will work on getting the three humanoids to all have each others wardrobes.

And once that's done, she'll rig/animate the leather armor pack.

I very much want to make more wardrobe, but it's really going to depend on whether or not this all sells. The humans did pretty well, but the elves haven't sold at all (Aside from the subscription and two sales on my site). Hopefully the value of being able to share wardrobe will be enough.

 

I bought the elves and like the package and will buy them as they come out Great models.

 

Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, but using 2018.3 (and 2019.1) with hdrp, the Human Fantasy Pack - https://assetstore.unity.com/packag...n-fantasy-rpg-character-pack-pbr-humans-60016 - produces pink hair (something in the hair shaders are not compatible, but doesnt show any errors) when using the prefabs under Game Ready > Prefabs > Full Morphing > Human Male/Female Demo v2.

I'm using the unity package from the website as opposed to the asset store, and I've done the "Upgrade all project materials to hdrp" and everything else is working great (armor textures, blendshapes, etc) the only thing is the hair.

Any tips on resolving? Gonna brush up on shader code and see if theres a quick fix myself.

 

Unfortunately the custom shaders I make aren’t compatible with hdrp at this point, as the hdrp setup itself keeps changing.

I’ve heard hdrp May have its own hair shader at some point, and if so, I plan on trying to support that.

It should be possible to use amplify shader editor to make a hair shader however.

 

Would shader graph be worth looking into? Seems easy enough but i havent played with it personally.

 

do a manual change to hdrp lit and set your textures manualy I have made all the infinitypbr models HDRP and they look amazing. I also setup mapmagic HDRP and the lit shader is incredible. Cant wait till it is out of preview!

 

Yeah -- I also haven't looked into it. Making hair shaders seems to be tremendously difficult, and I haven't been able to find any resources on ASE in the past, which you'd think would exist if it were fairly easy to accomplish.

 

Seems like the setup for grass and hair would be very similar.

 

I just wanted to ask, are the monsters like troll and minotaur using humanoid mecanim for animation or generic?

 

Generic. Minotaur can't use humanoid due to the feed/legs. Troll doesn't due to the proportions being quite different than a human would be.

However, both *can* be made humanoid, though the quality may be noticeably different. It's something to try out and play with, but it's not something I'd say is fully supported.

 

Thank you so much! This worked like a charm

Started to go down the route of updating the hair shader but with 2019.1 it seems to change every patch release.
