hey all. here's a project i've been working on this week. it's a simple 3d editor for taking small 3d models and attaching them to a skeletal structure to make robot models.





this will be used for a racing game called Zero GTR ive been working on.  i'm also considering making another Prompt Critical game using this editor to make more complex models that break apart like in the original game.

Prompt Critical


questions/comments/criticism welcome  

UPDATE 06/07/2010 :: Beta available for download, officially named RoboSculpt now.
UPDATE 06/16/2010 :: v0.2:

Fixed left click bug on widgets and the component list.
Pasting a new component now auto selects the pasted component.

Woah. Just, woah.

My god, this looks awesome. Building Robots always is.

[syn9]

thanks guys. once i get in a few more necessities (save/load/undo/redo/copy/paste) i'll post a download so you can play with it.

I want to hear more about this racing game that features player-designed robots...

[syn9]

playing around with more complex models and adding in features like copy/paste




@jump: think a mix between roller derby, starsiege tribes, and wipeout    

here is our goal statement: "A futuristic dreamland of hyperspeed light and color with bloodthirsty mecha body suit ninja deathmatch of bleeding edge agility and brutality initiating blazing fast, explosion-packed anti gravity roller derby invoking a simultaneous fear and lust for more"

i'll post more info about it once i have some kind of prototype finished, hehe

You are my favourite person right now.

[AaronG]

You are my favourite person right now.

[syn9]

haha. thanks guys.  well, in order to get the racing game done in the next couple months i've opted to drop the biped robot mode in favor of a tank mode, this way the racers can switch between tank and jet mode. more on this to come XD

i still need to clean up some of the modeling widgets in this editor before i post a download, but that should be here within a few days.

*twitches*

[syn9]

alright, i'm at the last stretch before this beta is released. should be up in 12 hours or so

[syn9]

well, i got the widgets revamped so they work much much nicer, and got save and load put in. just need to put in some interface buttons and make save and load actually have a gui interface instead of hotkeys. but it's definitely shaping up.

[Ashkin]

Must have... Now!

[syn9]

added in a menu that slides out of the right side of the screen. this will be the main navigation for options, plus lists all the keyboard shortcuts



still trying to fix some camera and selection/picking issues right now.

[namre]

Woah. This is mindblowing stuff man! You should release this! It will rock the industry, for sure!

[syn9]

hah. thanks. it's not that advanced of an editor to rock the industry. it's more of an aid for my game programming and anyone else who wants to play with it.  i'll have a beta download here really soon.

Edit: New Screen

[namre]

Yes, it would be really fun to play with it. Haha. Can't wait!

[syn9]

ok, i'm at the point where i can release a beta.  i just need to write a basic instruction manual, heh

[syn9]

ok, here it is if you want to play with it.  it's still in the early stages, but it works, and i tried pretty hard to make editing work nicely =D

please post any questions/comments/criticism/recommendations
