3DForge Exteriors

Does it? Are those not free Unity samples?

 

@AdamGoodrich
That is looking very good looking stuff there, will be nice to see such stuff see the light of day with my exteriors in them

 

@Teila @Frogger007

By @Frogger007 's post it sounded as if Terrain Composer comes with some trees, that is what I commented on

 

Hi,

Just wanted to test a solar flare and moved it to be more or less where the sun was in the sky box







Cheers

You are just taunting us, Cobus!

 

So is it done yet?

 

+1

 

@Teila @Shawn67 @smada luap
Almost, Just finishing helper demos, the step by step stuff, for the basement building method, and some general building steps.
I can not tell users to look at the forum if they want to know how to use the Kit, have to include such samples to have it as user friendly as possible.

So almost almost there

Cheers
Cobus

 

I think we need to beta test this - what do you say @Whippets @Teila @AdamGoodrich @Shawn67 ?

 

Yup!!!

 

Yep

 

@Teila @smada luap @AdamGoodrich @Shawn67

I am not far from done when looking at the bigger dev picture, just want to make sure that first impression is perfect

 

If you say from the bigger dev picture, its going to worry me. You know, 80% of the work can be done in 20% of the time The last 20% for the details/perfection can then take 80% of additional time. Just kidding

 

@Wylaryzel
ROFL !!! naah, no like that here, I have been working on this for 4 months now, so in that bigger picture almost no time left for this to see the light of day

 

I'm now going with little terrains that will have edges set like the attached image and the player will quickly switch between them as/when they are allowed to.

Now that I've sorted this out, both in my mind and in Unity, I can start to plan where I'm going to build the houses, inns, castles, dungeons, etc. that'll come from Cobus' kit

 

I think you have a nice fountation there using water4?

 

Just WaterProDaytime

 

Demo environments are look great. Looking forward to the packs release.

 

Looking good @smada luap - is that mesh or terrain? I just notice the solid side to it. Love the green ground texture too, is that just diffuse + normal?

 

It's a terrain. All I've done is set the outer edge of the terrain's value to zero. Also just standard diffuse + normal as you can set in the editor.

Here's the same terrain, different angle and some random speedtrees from the standard assets

 

what it needs now is some buildings...

 

@smada luap what trees are you using there ?

 

They're the Speedtrees that come with the Standard assets with unity5

 

Like what you did with the outer edge. Might add that today Texture is nice too. That will look good with some grass on top of it.

 

Now that I've got a day/night cycle figured out (images can be seen here -> https://twitter.com/smadaluap/status/602859811865255936 ), I'm going to have to set things up now so that when you visit a location during the day it'll look normal, but if you happen to come across the same location at night then there could be torches lit outside or lights steaming through the windows of the houses

I can see a couple of test scenes needed to work out the mechanics of all this before it goes into the game

 

*twiddles thumbs* Cobus has been too quiet today... Hopefully that means he is getting things ready for release.. *paces impatiently* heheh

Terrain is looking great @smada luap! I had been using some of the Big Environment Pack terrains for prototyping.. Seeing @AdamGoodrich's asset he is working on and some of the other terrains here you all are working on in prep for Cobus releasing his pack, I'm almost ready to blow them away and start terrain building again! lol

 

Maybe @S4G4N is too worried about showing any new stuff in case we ask for other things to go in the v1.0 release

 

@smada luap @Shawn67
HAHA, you guys have so many good ideas, that if the conversation did not stop when it did, it would have been to long for you to get v1.0
The ToDo list was completed , many more items was added, so once v1.0 is out that will be open for additions and a anew ToDo list will be maintained.

Oh there will be something fresh not seen before and another surprise that everyone will love, buuuuut you will have to wait and see

 

You can really start to go off people who tease new stuff... lol

 

@smada luap it is something nice, that everyone will like

 

OK! OK! Hit the submit button already!

 

Yes, "Allready hited submit botton" is what we want hear !

 

Uhoh.. I've started a revolt... heheh *hides behind a stack of crates under the stairs hoping there is proper collision to keep Cobus from walking through them and getting me*

 

@Shawn67 Me thinks me need to delete that building completely so no place to hide

Almost there, think Screenshots could be done before I go sleep, then just the user guide and package description text and I can hit submit

 

I think there are 3 possibilities hindering Cobus from hitting submit:

1. He cant find the submit but4on among all those goodies
2. He has to much fun pkaying with the goodies himself
3. He got catched by some ninjas who want to exclusively use his genius collection

Br
wyl

 

Ruh roh! lol

And YAY!

 

This pack is going to be awesome. Just release it already! This money is burning a hole in my pockets...

 

@DoubleLee Welcome to the thread.
Almost just the finishing touches as described few posts up then I hit submit.
There is some awesome marketing material to play with when it is released

 

piccies tonight then

 

Isn't it already tonight where Cobus lives? So is it up yet? *hides behind @Whippets *

 

@Shawn67

I will show some sneak peak before release of more contents, but I am also keeping some as a nice fresh presentation on Key Images and screenshots and of course the always provided WebDemos

 

Heh, it's night here too, but we only have 2 hours darkness now, and the northern horizon stays light, so can't even really call it night

 

Oh wow.. I thought that was just an Alaska thing. I guess it makes sense that it would do the same thing all around the northern part of the globe.. lol Just never thought of it before... lol

But... but... but... We can't build with sneak peaks and web demos... *runs out of places to hide* heheh

 

*points out the large box in the corner*

 

Shawn, you are just so adorable.

 

@Shawn67 Will reveal the negative in the morning hehe

 

Nice pics. There's enough there to make out what both images will look like when put together properly

 

Oh no! Flashbacks to EA's little puzzles! Eek!

 

@Teila No puzzle, just a little bit of fun

There is a awhole bunch of stuff not seen yet, so will show some, in these last process and then others will be on Product Page.
At the end of the day, many users kept an eye here, but for those that does not use the forums I have to show all the cool categories and features and the capabilities of the package

 

OUCH! My head hurts now! lol I do like the looks of what I'm able to make out
