/3/ - 3DCG

[Anonymous No.367198]

i'm thinking, any retard can make a character move in unity. while i am by no means an expert in it, i can certainly provide basic game logic, health, weapons, vehicles, physics.

how about we start with an empty world and fill it with objects we made, if only with the goal to walk around them. No other restrictions or goals. If it ends up being a game with a dong shooting dongs from a dong cannon, so be it.

Basically, create whatever you want, post it here (i'd prefer .fbx), I will put it into a place so we can walk around it and see if i can script an appropriate function for it.

Polycount? Texture format? Do i make specular maps as well?

[Anonymous No.367202]

>>367201

polycount as low as possible, no smoothing, texture format i guess doesnt matter, i usually use .psd and .tiff, make specular maps if you want your object to have speculars, same goes for bumpmaps.

>>367218
got it. you wanna texture it?

>>367223
the consideration is being that it still remains playable. if we get a couple multimillion poly objects, the game will slowly begin dropping fps. i won't stop you from going to several 100k, and even into millions, but dont expect the scene to run smoothly.

[Anonymous No.367228]

so how do you suggest we handle this in a game context? i could upload the source for the scene of course, but that would require people to have unity and know how to work with it.

OP, I'm giving you the loudest fucking slow clap of all time right now. Finally, a game thread on /3/ with a slightly greater than zero chance of actually working.

I actually think that even this will crash and burn, but fuck it, at least someone is finally setting a reasonable expectation.

Only two things can come of this:
A: We learn that /3/ can actually complete a co-op project, but it just hast to be elementary school level
B: We learn that /3/ can never, ever, ever complete a co-op project of any kind.

If the answer is B, the board deserves to be deleted. But at the very least, we'll be able to bring up this thread whenever another idiot jumps in with a thread saying "come on /3/, lets fuckin collab and make Doom 5"

>>367269

I wasn't gonna make an active suspension, its fine as is. Only thing you have to remember is to put the pivots exactly in the center of each wheel, thats the point the wheel rotates around. Its a quick fix though so i did it myself. You guys have to remember to send the texture file as well, the embedded material is not enough.

>>367272

I thought basically any software can handle fbx. .obj works too, I prefer .fbx cause they can handle animations properly. At least when unity is concerned.

Got it. looks awesome. ran into a bit of an issue, the model seemed to have forgotten the uv mapping, but that seems a common issue with unity imports. reimporting the model solved it somehow. Will add the physics model from the previous one and include into next build.

[Anonymous No.367336]

>>367321

actually, it would save me a ton of trouble if you could go and set the pivots yourself. Supereasy, just make sure the axis is exactly in the middle of the wheel.

whenever i load it up i lose the uv maps apparently, both in max and blender. c4d refuses to open it and unity doesnt offer the option to set them.

until then, best i can do is have all but the wheels textured.

[Anonymous No.367358]

http://www.mediafire.com/download/upmp8u4i4qspww1/sfdfsdfsdf.fbx

Ok i think that does it. I've tried exporting with texture but for some reason maya can't find it, even though it's right there in the same folder. Also some UVs are overlapping (like the wheels actually), maybe that's the case.

[Anonymous No.367361]

>>367358

nice, thanks. the issue was quite simple. you now how you can set your pivots in your software to local and global? unity only recognizes the global ones, and when you start rotating stuff it rotates around (0,0,0) instead of the actual wheel coordinates. I could have uses the previous wheels with texture, but that would have made them rotate around the center of the vehicle.

Will play around with the physics a bit, this feels quite skiddish. will see if i just need to adjust parameters or switch to a different script alltogether. have another two arcadeish ones lying around, but the model itself is now in a great shape.

Pretty cool. The rover controls are a little weird... it just stops moving after a while. Also noticed that there's some kind of giant dong sticking out of the bottom of it and going into the earth... maybe that's what's messing up the steering.

The dong is just the current player shape, a cylinder object. Will make it invisible when its in a car. It's physics is already disabled, so its not the issue.

Then OP will split the world into separate scenes, and stream them in using LoadLevelAdditiveAsync() (OP seems to have Pro so it would be seamless)
Of course, going into even hundreds of thousands is overkill but any mesh created with realtime in mind should be fair game.

Did you scale it up? The road was roughly twice the width of a rover when i worked on it.
Also idea for "gameplay" - driving around, shooting some things, like in Mass Effect. Manageable to some extent? Crosshair, hitscan weapon, no visible turret as of yet and some stock effects?
I don't know how that works exactly, but maybe instead of grand complicated M. Bay destruction fest (that no one has the time or knowledge to make ) we could have at least some static objects that change meshes when damaged?

[Anonymous No.367827]

>>367826

turns. cool. yeah scaled it x3 so the rover has a bit more space to skid around. wide turning radius too and the handbrake refuses to work.

for "gameplay", crosshair we have, a raycast is already being cast on click to open doors and enter vehicles, the only thing i need to change would be the movement of the camera when in a vehicle actually. M.Bay destructionfest, if your'e thinking explosions, can be done too, actually. like, we shoot a barrel, it starts an explosion effect, then changes its own mesh to a wrecked barrel.

i mean split into diffuse/normal/detail. but then again, i'd have to write a shader to accomodate everything. i guess we're good as is.

having realtime shadows, not including them on your end might be worth consideration, but it might look worse cause shadows don't render far enough to be displayed over the whole thing. how about you give me a few different versions you can come up with and we see what looks best.

Something to shoot at. Blown up mesh coming tomorrow, and maybe a normal map if i learn how. My attempts to make one in maya didn't end well.
If i cut out some scraps out of it, pieces of metal, can we get them to appear together with destroyed mesh so they fly off? Could disappear later, like in most games.

oh mate i hope you didn't spend too much time on compiling that. putting everything into the same file makes a single mesh, where i cant move the single parts. just moves all together.

[Anonymous No.368159]

>>368158

Not sure about boosting, the car physics isnt really set up for that. Might be weird. What i can do is make it a bit more nimble and gear it up so it accelerates quicker.

was thinking about objectives too. setting a marker and then pointing there with an arrow would surely work. now that we have a weapon maybe destroy alien bases for objctives or something. we'll make it grow out of whatver objects we get.

that is one whacky ride indeed. mostly fear of falling off or putting the car on its belly. that one turn is mean. didn't even make it to the bottom yet.

would need more gravity or grip or fucking rails or something. camera movement is shitty too, will have to see which solution would make most sense.

Updated the build, for now starting out at the top of the whacky road, going down to the third terrain. If you fall off, which you will, you will land on the beach terrain. If you bottom out and immobilize your car, so far no other option than to restart the whole thing.

>>368529
>>368614
>>368616

I agree, basically the camera reads out where the center of the car is and positions itself 4 meters higher than that. Works out on flat terrain, but not on slopes. parenting to mouse movement was my first thought too, but that interfered with the other camera scripts, so what i did instead is to add in the car's rotation halved. Pros: You dont need to rotate the mouse manually, you can see where the fuck youre going regardless of speed and slope angle. didn't adjust the pivotpoint yet, want to see if you guys are happy with it as is. Another thing i'd like to add is a collider for the camera, so it doesn't go through the terrain on angle changes.

>>368628

This works great, thanks.

I think the camera is a little bit worse than before. It also makes it incredibly uncomfortable to shoot the car gun.

The car is in the way blocking everything now. You might try raising the camera up so that we don't see ANY of the ground behind it.

Also it would be great if the car camera would stop fighting against my mouse input and trying to center itself.
If possible it would be best to get rid of that completely, or dial it down ALOT.
You could also have it so that there is a few seconds delay before it starts moving back to center itself.

depends on how sophisticated they would be. Characters that walk around and shoot at the player, quite easy once we have a final terrain we can bake a navmesh from. ai cars that drive around, or fancy stuff like taking cover goes over my head. maybe the other unityfags would want to chime in.

[Anonymous No.368772]

>>368694
do you have those saved as a spritesheet instead of broken up in separate files?

it works as is, but loading and drawing 120 textures per explosion is intensive. once you set off two-three you lose a couple frames. a single file will be bigger, but will have to be drawn only once and then just offset properly.

figured i should ask if you have that already before i assemlbe it in photoshop by hand.

okay builds are updated with the explosion sprites and the Black Sun as is, work on the rover camera position tomorrow.

Explosions could use few of the previous particles we had, maybe a position correction and an explosion sound that is able to overcome the gun shot.

moral of the story for sprites- dont use separate pictures if you want performance, dont use .time if you want to instantiate more than one instance, count your fucking columns and rows if you dont want to spend hours figuring out why it doesn't align properly.

horizontal rotation doesn't fight anymore and pivot up by quite a bit.

>>368935
man, ive been working on this since you posted. it seems shaders are becoming my bane of this project.

illumination works, but transparency doesnt. I bake both the lightmaps and alpha for transparency onto the diffuse and, that kinda works but doesn't render far enough to show the detailed frames from far enough. in both cases there's many backfaces showing, so i have to disable backface culling which doesnt play well with the rest.

i included both versions so you can see where i'm at right now. if you wanna work on it further, we can discuss how to change it to get the best possible results we can.

Yeah Illumination looks okay. I'd say go with the transparent one, because the other one looks very dull and ugly with those black gaps. Transparent one doesn't looks so bad.

But the transparent one doesn't have specular reflections, it will look better after specs applied. Also, can you increase the intensity of the point light a little, and drop down the ambient light ? It will give better contrast to the forms.

really, you think that looks better? kinda flimsy. looking at the polycount i was gonna suggest you make the grates actual topology, but looking at the second one that's not really feasible. will include the transparent one with a bump next build, not sure how long this will take me.

im any case, can you check your normals for me? On the first one for sure, second one i didnt check yet. it appears you made topology for the backfaces, but they are facing the wrong way. pic related, everything blue should ideally be inverted.

if you mean that if you shoot one, it explodes, and produces two boxes, then no, that shouldn't be happening.

if you mean that shooting them makes them explode and spawn a single brandnew one, then yes, that's where the destroyed one should spawn like with the fuel tank, but since we have no wrecked models of the box and barrel it just instantiates itself. we could replace it with generic scraps. or with nothing.
