I finally have internet again! Huzzah!

Anyway, I've gotten dat tree all fogged up:




In addition, I've thrown in quite a few more races since the beginning when the main characters were designed, what with the beast races and the Grell, so I thought I should vary up the main's races a bit to add more variety. Doesn't really affect much but the ears for now, though.



Van's people are draconic now. The older they are, the more draconic they get. He's also rockin' the new fur technique.


Gil's got his fur trim updated, as well. Plus he remains a human:


I thought I'd take the chance to do some more emotive tests with Ellie, too.

will the fur and hair animated? because you can do a bunch of vertex shader trick to have that for free! Especially if you have some data passed such as wind direction and velocity. Could also work for small scale clothes movement (the girl's pant).

look for assets or tuts about grass, tree, leaf vertex animation

There is one physic vertex anim shader on the asset store that workd great too

Thank'eh ser! I'll have a look at that vertex shader stuff- I wanted to do something like that, but Unity's joints were giving me grief.

Also, progress! I'm working on a more dynamic camera system:

You could enhance the readability of Ellie dramatically by changing the color of her gloves. The emotive tests look great!

Wow this project looks incredibly slick. I am massively looking forward to it.

Also, and this might just be me, but your character outfit designs remind me a lot of the designs from the Kingdom Hearts series--which is by no means a bad thing! Love it, can't wait to see more.

This is true, now that you mention it. I'll have a go at that later tonight.

Oh, definitely: KH designs are super awesome. Gotta get some inspiration from 'em!


So I made Van some new punch-em-up arms that'll let him use boxing techniques instead of arm flailing:





The old arms:

btw while you post the video on another thread, just in case it is useful to you, don't put collision on the camera but on the near plane, ray cast from the camera target to the camera and move the near plane to that point instead of moving the camera. that way you will always hve unobstructed perfectly framed camera, the end of camera problel. you still have to handle some feedback to the player, ie that there is an obstacle that arr significant behind the camera.

Jimym, that is genius. My Word!

I'll definitely do some work on that tomorrow.

Thanks, Odorias! I don't have anything recent, as nothing was prepared and Unity 5's builds all crash. There are two old ones here:

One is a test of the flight controls and the other is a really early demo level.

Doing some headlook stuff:

I didn't think just having them look at points of interest was enough, so I threw in some expression changes, too.

It would be cool if everything were tagged with different keywords in order to display the correct facial expression according to what she's looking at. That way she could look at strange things with an expression of wonder while glaring angrily at enemies and so on. Would be doable, right?

Indeed it would; which is why I did just that! The points of interest have bounding boxes that give an emotional response to the face armature.

well if object have emotional tag that works in conjunction of context (say there is an enemy the context is tense) and an attention system (pay attention to enemy first

... Who, Me?


then you just beat wind waker as the most expressive game ever Tongue

I would love the character look at a painting and react with joy, look at garbage react with disgust, if the POI has micro POI (ie the painting) that create micro eye movement (that had SO much life) as they jump from point to point (the spread could make it interesting when the character look another character from head to toe lol) ... well I'm over designing it obviously but I always wanted to add those details lol (they are present in bioshock infinite though)

ignore the geeking please lol
