This new pack - so awesomo .... Makes me want start using Unity, almost Or, please make asset for UE4 too, marketplace is lacking there.

 

Could you sell cheap that separate cockpit asset maybe...

 

Hi Juris

It should be cool if i can make the convertion to Unreal, the only problem is, Unreal do not work anymore with my old mac..... I need to change my machine, but not enougt money yet.. And i need to admit to not be hot to learn another 3D engine...

About separate shipping, it's not really possible due to textures. In fact i re-use the texture made for the other kit part. And if i begin to extract the elements one by one.

The package is a setup.... point. It's like just to want buy only a wheel on a car.

Regards

 

Creepy-Cat, thank You, I appreciate your clean answer. In any case, I am keeping my eye on this one (other is Unity "Space Kit") as a possible jump start if I get bored from UE4 and need a creativity "distraction". With that being said, I have a question that might me hard to answer because hard to imagine being "in my shoes", but still: If my only game making experience is UE4 blueprints (so, no real coding), and I would take this your nice asset - would it be valid starting ground to "poke it with a pointy stick" and try to change this and that, etc, and start "Unity Way"? I did the same "tactics" with UE4, and it went well, but - that's only visual BPs... Any thoughts? By anyone, please? ;-) Thanks in advance!
P.S.: price is too high for me for "impulse buy" for experiments, but, who knows, maybe some sales times ahead or something...

 

Hi Juris

I don't hate Unreal UDK, it's an excellent engine, with a kick ass rendering... BUT the interface of the software has been made by a junky in crack... I knew this engine from the first version (Unreal 1 on PC) and the actual UDK is a stack of many stuff, nothing is clear....

Unity is the only one realtime engine made for production... Everything is clear and simple, and extendable.
One of my customer's make systematic conversion to UDK of my products

Sorry but i don't understand you question about blueprint? "Unity Way"? (i'm not english)

 

Haha, no problem, i am not english too (i am latvian). Some day I might buy this nice asset

 

I reworked the turret script for a better animation system via tweening, i included a shoot sound and the result begin to be cool

For the 1.05 release some of my spritesheet effects/codes will be included. I would do it for the first release but due to no time... It should be fixed soon

Hi

I included some new wings types, and here is another version of the spaceship

P_Spaceship_Akorn_Mark_4

I think to make a militarized version (if i'm motivated) I need to make a joystick in my batch list


See ya!

 

Just for pleasure This film really inspiring me..

 

Modified version with a reactor support. The modularity is really cool

Rotating landing gears "ala" Oblivion (not the game...) It give "insect" stylish!

 

"Militarized" version with turrets

 

Before peoples asking how landing gears need to be folded...

Like this :

 

Version 1.05 of the Scifi 3 kit uploaded on CG trader, soon on the store as always... (sigh)

https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/exterior/sci-fi/scifi-kit-vol-3

Update 1.05 :

- Examples maps fix / updates.

- New meshes / prefabs / texture fix.

- A new spaceship class "Akorn" and a new cool plasma turret with a basic shooter procedure...

- Don't write email about red line for the spaceship doors, i need to fix this...

 

You are killing me very special way...

 

That cool and not finished In fact i stop to publish so many product for the moment, i prefer focus only on one. It's for this reason that the package price is more than 30... Hurry up guys! Because i think to increase the price slowly to 80, during the updates, but with a bunch of cool stuff!

 

Else, i'm thinking since a while to a module that allow you to create space stations ala 2001... For the moment it's just a test ,do not ask me when the release...

 

About the scales, one part of the space station cake could get this kind of size... Big mother F***er to unwrap, and to details

define the scale is the worst part of a kit creation... And it' not just put meters/centimeter everywhere The scale "feeling" need to cheated with he real sizes... And about this part sizes, i "estimate" that docking two spaceship side to side is enough for the most of cases.

 

Great looking kit. One thing that could be nice would be some dirt, wear and tear option for the textures. Right now everything looks brand new. Having an option as a detail texture maybe or some decal or another texture set could be pretty neat. Just my two cent though. Keep it up, I like to check out your updates from time to time. Reminds me a little of the PSVR game Farpoint.

 

I have one special wish for Author - to keep passion for this project. But, with that being said, I actually do know that interests may shift, and things go as they go. For example - me. ;-) Year ago and before that my main fun hobby was DIY electronics. Now it is UE4 digging. I guess, what i am trying to say is - make this project as advanced as you can, while having fun doing it!

 

Hi Juris

In my case it's a bit different because Unity is my full time activity... Motivated or not the customer's never sleep (worldwide support).

The motivation in my case? The customer's happiness and of course, my sales

It's been a very long time, that I wanted to make a pack including houses / spacebase / and ships, but as the bills do not pay themselves alone ... And I had to multiply the products to eat.

But as my situation becomes more stable after 7 years of trouble, I can now afford to mount a product.

Because you have to understand that being a publisher requires a huge job in terms of support / communication / work when you have to be everywhere at same time ...

And the last years for me have been a real journey through the solitary desert ... That's why all this goes well beyond a simple question of motivation (Sigh... Tired)

I really want that a team develop one thing with this kit.

 

Docking Bay W.I.P texturing in progress!

 

Looks really great. Do you plan to make a more military style drop ship?

 

Yeah it's planed, when i'll attack the military warship, the colors will change

 

Hello

Here is a W.I.P about the next update 1.06, a mega big star base!

In fact, some of you try since the volume two, to build some star bases...

Sometime i receive an email with a screenshot and is see that the user try to build by itself with a relative result

For those reason i decided for the volume 3 to create a mega big star base militarized a bit, with many docks slot for your spaceships... After that, if anybody complain again on the missing docks! I'll not understand

Big envs like star bases have special rules to making the texturing, i need to refine again and again

But the "scale feeling" is really cool! I plan the possibility to get some interiors into the station (with panoramic view because i like that )

Same S***, do not ask me when ready, it depending of my motivation/health/time...

But when i'm motivated, i'm speed

 

Texturing in progress (some temporary textures for the most, but the unwraps will be ok)... It's a W.I.P texture / light scene will change

 

Doors texturing in progress

 

There needs to be more than a 'Like' button, seriously. How about a "Love", or a "MOAR" ?

Side note, ever think about hologram doors that don't need to open/close, you just fly right through them?
That way, you can still see the outside scenery and watch the ships fly in and out :3

 

yeah plasma door are planed But put the both is important. Doors will include => Plasma => Real doors, after, you can activate/de-activate them like you want

 

Thanks Cool to have fanboys Its motivating

 

The third image is the interior, i just prepared the terrain but it allow large design space... (you can see some kit walls test)

There is a big unwrap job on this big guy, but the result should be cool I think release 2 or 3 modules (one fake for polygon gain etc) but some other can be added in the futur...

But for the moment i need a break I back around the start of september...

 

Hey all

Creepy Cat is back I think releasing soon a small update for the Scifi 3 with a new derivated spaceship vehicle! But shuut, it's a secret..

It should include a first version of the big space base (without interiors for the first release, because creating the interiors need bunch of work and i'm working on...)

But the big hangar will be included to store your spaceships (look previous topic pictures).

As you can see i'm actually in Greybox mode for the interior, i need to think more...

 

Space station W.I.P.

 

Home, sweet home...

 

Hey

In the update 1.06, a cool planet shader and a 8K planet PBR textures set will be included!

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=2150145741868607

 

Wow ... really nice.

 

Thanks Here is a screenshot of the planet integration and the space base 2.

 

That is pretty darn gorgeous! Can a person fall in love with art? I think I just did.
What do you have planned next? I'm curious

 

Many things are planed New spaceship etc... I have a guideline (which I mentioned at the beginning of the topic) but I do things according to my desire and my inspiration

 

Small W.I.P video, i'm happy of my blicking lights on the landing zone! Terribly boring to do except when you understand how to interact with emitters via script

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=239370173445913

 

Hey, Creepy-Cat, I wonder did you get my (appropriately creepy too) e-mail? ;-)
In any case - it is ecen satisfactory somewhat to just follow here on all your progress!

 

Hi

Yeah i received it, but i need to admit dont understand clearly the request? (I'm not english native). You want a voucher code? If yes, unfortunaly i can't because publishers can generate only 12 vouchers per year and per product, and i eaten some of them, for the product launching, and i want to keep the rest for the product publicity! sorry

Regards

 

Understood! I am not english native too, that makes things especially interesting ))

 

W.I.P Of exterior + nebula and interior

 

If you asking how it is possible to make a interior into the big spacebase, here is an example :

- I created a small module with the rest of the kit, and i included it directly into the hangar.

With this method, interiors are possible F*** yeah i'm good!

 

Those space workers keep everything so clean... ;-)
