What Are You Working On

Currently messing around with the beginnings of a Magic Carpet clone, so far I can deform the terrain in realtime and float around:



(Windows Build - WASD to acclerate, mouse look, LMB to lower terrain under you and RMB to raise terrain under you, "i" will reset the terrain)

 

I got to working on the movement algorithm for the units - it's at a VERY basic level right now, not nearly ready for demo work.

I also updated the UI slightly. I'm trying to reclaim some of my screen real-estate, for some other GUI elements I'm soon to be adding, like a quick-selection pallete for created units.

I haven't decided if I want there to be a minimap or not, given how there's no fog of war.

 

I like your unit design!

 

Thanks, but don't congratulate me yet - the Fungus haven't had their say.

 

My first try at normal mapping a weapon. It could be much better but it's still not too bad for a first time.

 

That's looking pretty clean for a first try. Nice work

 

A third person shooter called Darkhounds, game is finally starting to come together, got most of the character models done, will be a simple level based game with over the shoulder camera view,.....cause that requires no script, just camera being parented to controller lol. Models are simple quality with simple textures because its my first attempt at a decent game, im hoping the game play will make up for lack of awsome graphic quality, srry im no artist.

 

Hey soz for the plug, but do you by any chance need a logo designed? If so, just PM me, and I'll give you a small quote. Only if you want to!

 

ty for the offer Fishman, the game is still very much in early development (im just starting on first area of first level now), im not sure about logos or anything of the advertisment nature just yet because alot of what is current might change and i'd hate for Darkhounds to end up as an other one of those games folks get excited about and end up being nothing like what they thought.

And on that note everyone please feal free to follow on my "an other shooter" post as i will try to keep it updated with anything new i add to the game, its my first attempt so i need as much input as possible. lol

 

Got my stickman all set for animations and implementation into my latest 2D/2.5D project. Feels good accomplishing something. Now to get started on terrain for testing

 

Just submitted my first app to the appstore! will be updating here when its released so yall can buy it

Thank you to Varedis for programming @unseen studios
and Simon Roof @molecube for the free music!

 

Care to share with us a few free codes?

Just kidding. you deserve all the revenue you get. Where did you finally end up getting your Mac, by the way?

 

I still don't have one *sad face* Unseen is porting it.

And thanks, I won't begiving any promos away here :L they will all be going to review sites im afraid ^_^, but for 59p you cant complain

 

I don't see so much response in the official thread so I thought I'd give it a go also here... after all, we are hardly working on it
We are near to completion of our second product, RYNTH. You can check the webplayer here.

We are waiting response, especially for the Android version!

 

Showing off some powerups :3

I love the blink! ^_^
Would love to know why the audio is never in sync

 

Or 99¢

 

yeah, I typo'd anyway 69p/99c

 

Or 77¥

 

Just playing around for fun in my free time.

 

If you are looking for employment to continue this with a specific focus on an interactive, scenario-based RPG virtual learning environment, please contact me. Your concept is sound.

 

Working on a character for asset store currently modeling the head about 75-80% done.The character will have hair so its baldness is not permanent .
Right now it has approx. 700 Polys the finished product will have around 1500-2500polys(7500 Verts).

Head Finished!
Now I just need to do some sketches for the cloths and body.

 

Good work on the polys, it looks great!

 

Tennis game. Please critique the visuals so far, I KNOW they could be better because I don't like them lol what can I do to make the fence and net look better?? When I change the fence texture to transparent-cutout-diffuse i get shadows of it but the texture looks like crap... mipmapping makes them disappear....

 

Hmm, maybe make it into a stadium like this:

 

lol yeah that was my plans but i'm still toying with Unity a little and I wanted to know how to fix that, especially the net, any ideas?

 

Assuming that creating an enormous stadium is a bit more work than you had planned, you could try adjusting the mipmap bias. To my eye, Unity's default mipmap settings are rather low/high (depending on how you view it.)

 

what exactly does the bias change?? i played with the other settings but not the "bias" setting

Also, will changing the texture format help any? i.e. RGB 24bit, RGB 32bit

 

Nice and clean mesh, ivanzu!

I think I'm pretty much done with texturing my robot-dog.
Now on to rigging!

 

Increasing the alpha bias is alright, this extends the distance when a lower resolution of your texture will be used.
I suggest you to thicken up the wires on the texture a bit, this will reduce the mipmap artifacts, too. Useing the cutout shader gives you some advantages like haveing shadows and the transparent edges are very crisp. You may have to adjust the shaders settings.

The textur format is ok, you need 32bit because this contains the alpha channel which defines the transparency of your wire.

 

Awesome work and thanks.

 

Working on a lot of awesome epic battles! http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/115767-Dueling-Blades-A-Revolutionary-Game-For-Facebook

 

Awesome!

 

That's disturbingly awsome

 

to be honest...the topology isn't really good. work on it a bit...but nice start

 

Depends on what app I'm working on,with blender its pretty hard,every artist has its way of doing topology,mine is like this and yes it could improve but its hard with blender.

EDIT
And on that image it looks like its topology of a mesh with turbo smooth or subdivision modifier applied .

 

I do have to agree that topology could be better. Ivanzu you have all polygons sorted in linear way, while head topology should be circular on basicaly every form. From every verticle you start on head, you should be able to follow semi-circular line on any way you are going, this is how head topology should be contructed.

(this isnt anywhere near perfect topology, but its ok to show curve)

 

Yeah i know the problem is around the cheeks but its hard to fix without making lots of tris.

 

I think its pretty much fixed now I probably could make more loops but i don't want to spend too much polys on face.And face isn't going to be animated so i don't think that topo needs to be perfect.

 

I think I got the topology right now accordingly to this image.

 

Not really. You want a loop around the mouth, a loop around each eye, a loop that goes across the bridge of the nose and follows down meeting beneath the mouth loop.

The loops should roughly follow the muscles of the face.

You want to avoid that strange loop termination you have on the cheek. That'll deform problematically.

 

So, I've been running through my design (yes, I am actually designing this game.) While pondering all the possible ways of implementing micro-level customization (as in, customization for individual units during a game), I realized that this was a prime reason/opportunity to add another structure to the game, and the design for both sides.

Enter the Droids' Tech Center, or the Fungus' Metaspore.

By getting close enough, units can be assigned an upgrade. All units start with the ability to choose one upgrade upon creation; as the unit stays alive, they gain the ability to take more, and better upgrades. In other words: keep your units alive!

While the GUI for the Tech Center/Metaspore hasn't been designed, I do have a screenshot of the Tech Center. I can probably improve it; I didn't use nearly as many polygons as I did for the Droid's Factory. Also note, Tech Centers have a different color of reticule from everything else.

 

Figured I'd throw in some examples of my topology.

My base female topology. Edge loops follow underlying structure and musculature of the face, which helps for a more natural looking facial animation. By personal preference I have more loops around the eyes, removing some of these wouldn't damage the silhouette at all though. I also try to make sure all of the quads are relatively square shaped:



A resulting sculpt:



Ideally topology would be slightly different for a male character, but using the same female base mesh you can still make a male character:

 

whoaaa!!! i‘ll sell my soul for that shader!

 

Try turning the mip maping off and the Aniso level on the texture import up

 

Looks really fantastic! Love the character art

 

I'm working on a Magic Carpet clone (After a long gap of endless fiddling in ZBrush, Dark Souls, and Skyrim, I'm finally working on something again!) [1] Screenshots
So far i have a decent hovering script, used on the player and the first roughin mob - those dragon worm things. It just tries to follow the player and spray (so far harmless) fire at them.
I have a good start on the terrain deformation - I have a queue system that can handle multiple deformations over time. Now I need to work smoothing out the transition more, and then adding various patterns (shaped craters etc).
I'm using Unity and Unity's terrain system. I don't think I'll attempt to make castles and such out of the terrain, instead the terrain will change to accomodate the general shape of the castle and a poly object will go on top.
[2] Here's a link to a trial windows build - so far you can move around with WASD, shot raising/lowering projectiles (RMB/LMB) - i to reset the terrain (this may drop you below the world) - escape to quit

 

Here is some new stuff that I put together last night... gotta love Zbrush for this. This model is going to be geared toward a game, and the end result is a model that has some insane detail and it looks like something you would see in a next gen game. (also been playing a lot of Skyrim too while I've been infirm ). The hands and face are the next things I am going to work on as I need two versions of the hands and face that have to share the same rig...

Anyway, I would love your feedback as I progress... thanks a bunch.

 

His hands seem awkwardly small, or something. It just doesn't seem right.

 

It is a work in progress... I have them roughed in for now while I design the clothes...

 

@Marcos perfect topology
