3DForge Exteriors

lol.. Does that make up for all the suggestions I made that threw Cobus off on tangents while building the base package? heheh

 

@Shawn67
I might be wrong, but there is two items in the one pic that I think you asked for in specific

 

I've worked out a simple script to 'magically' turn on torches once it gets dark and extinguish them once it gets light. It now means that I can build houses where the lights start to come on when it gets dark, and they don't all come on at the same time as I've got a random staggering set up so that it's spread over the course of around an hour in-game time (it gives the magical pixies time to get to each torch and get it lit before moving on to the next one) which will equate to about 5-6 mins in real time as I plan to have a full day/night cycle last an hour real time

I suppose all I'd need to do now would be to get a bunch of NPC's wandering around lighting the torches, etc. but that's for another day (and probably a much later development cycle)

Video here ->

(also shows day/night cycle as well )

Edit: was just expecting a youtube link to be there. I wasn't expecting it to be embedded

 

lol... That's it Cobus.. Get me in more trouble.. My friends are already harassing me for asking for too much in the kit... heheh

 

*points out to @S4G4N that it's now morning*

 

@smada luap



Will show the two little later

 

Hopefully this is really close. Loving what you are doing.

 

If I could get away with it at work, I'd splice the two back together myself, but I'll wait... (semi-patiently lol)

 

@smada luap
While I did the screenshots I realized something very important.
Lots of the screenshots showed Viking type/styled buildings and results and that would be wrong.

I tried to achieve a nice courtly-style medieval overall look & feel.

With the 2 Plaster, 2 Stone & 2 Wood textures that v1.0 ships with you can do almost any medieval / fantasy type style. With the fact that any of the small panels can be swopped out, your imagination is going to be the limit.

So I finished an early never before seen scene, just added a bridge to also showcase the cool results of the modular Bridge kit that is also included.
Just look how well the "plinth" parts do as boundary walls
Added a smoke particle effect as well for the "Chimney"
Also take note, the stables done with the "decking prefabs" seen way back
As stated before, grass is included

The screenshots are done, am busy composing the key and other images.
Finishing simple User Guide, then submit

It really really is almost done, everybody just hang in there

Cheers

Hanging as best as I can but damn my arms are getting tired. Must be the money I am holding to spend for this...

 

Oooo, can we have them today??

Oh no, Shawn is rubbing off on me.......

 

What's that?!? Someone said today?!? *twitches uncontrollably and then runs over to poke @Archania in the ribs while he is hanging*

 

Well payday is the 1st, so I have to wait until then anyways. You have a few more days before the riots start

 

heh, ahead of the game with cash waiting, and ready to start F5ing the asset store XD
Got Heart of Thorns GW2 expansion to save up for next, and then Cobus's next pack whatever that is.

 

Wow, it is looking amazing! cannot wait to see this on the Asset Store!
Finally get to add exteriors to the interiors, so excited!

 

@VisualEnemy
Welcome to the thread

Just finishing images and busy with documentation and description text, then I submit.

Be sure to keep an eye out.
There will be a 7 day launch price special

 

I'm all set to click BUY!

 

I can not wait to be filled or a world hehe

 

@darkrurik and all others, just showing some shots I received from @AdamGoodrich after testing some prefabs in his scenes.

The results speak for themselves

A bunch of Village Interiors Kits props pulled in there, going to be cool after the Exteriors Kit FREE Props Update, then you will have even more to use

These are some of the 44 ready to use drag and drop pre-done building prefabs

Even though I am submitting with Unity 4.3.4, @AdamGoodrich used Unity 5.0.2 when he did these.

By the way, after counting for adding to the description text >>> 2060 meshes & 2026 prefabs







Cheers
Cobus

 

magnificent

 

These look great.




*walks off muttering about @AdamGoodrich getting access to stuff before everyone else*

j/k Adam lol

 

Would love to be the owner of that house - needing some vacation

Nice case-study

 

@Wylaryzel HAAH, absolutely, after the recent long hours I could do with that as well

 

Pretty sure the fishing is good there

 

Depending on what is in the lake to get or it might get you.
"Honey, let's go fishing!"

 

Hehe, I hear the Kraken can be cranky at this time of year

 

How did you know my x wife's name? Lol

 

Sorry to stir the pot when you're so close to release, but any word on if/when PBS materials might be added for this pack (and also the Interiors pack)?

 

@Arcanor Welcome to the thread

No stirring the pot there
There are many users that have purchased and am using the package in current actual projects.
I can not assume that all of them with migrate out of choice or possible be limited by certain hardware they aiming for release of there project. All the cool new features that Unity 5 offers are great but I do not want to force users to upgrade.

The Exteriors is launching with Normals for all textures

I have several users that actually offered to contribute to this inclusion that you asking about, so the moment I have launched and all the dust has settled, the Village Interiors Kit is the first thing on the agenda with the promised HD update, each of the textures that will get that will also get it's normal included, so there will be lots of extra value added for new and existing Village Interiors Kit owners.

After that the FREE road map items will be treated the same as the last leg of the todo list on the first post of this thread

Please add your voice what you would like added first in order of importance, getting the stuff you might need first sooner.

Each of these contents updates like the ones that the Village Interiors kit received will be comprehensive, enough so to each be added as new packages to the store as well, like the Castles & Cathedrals Kit, Catacombs & Crypts Kit & Taverns & Inns Kits were added.

Be sure to keep an eye here, since the -25% 7 day launch price special will kick in the moment it becomes available.

Cheers
Cobus

 

Exciting! Has it been submitted???

 

He can't submit to the asset store He is doing a similar thing like we to on a different website. We are hitting F5 on the asset store to see if is exterior pack is available, he is hitting F5 on this thread to see if somebody has posted something This is called virtual marketing, and he does very, very well

Just kidding, hope it doesn't last any longer

Btw, Adam is getting more silent than before - seems he is enjoying creating vacation centers in his terrains

 

I am sure it will be out soon. We just have to be patient. Yeah, it is easy to be distracted by the forums...so I am going to do some other work.

 

What? There is life outside the forums? Say it isn't sooo

 

The life outside the forums is stuck in the Unity editor

 

Friday.... let's hope it's released for the weekend of fun please....

 

I have a free weekend too

 

OK, now what all have been waiting for !!!!!!!!

On my screen at the moment
When one submit, the focus needs to be on the submission tool otherwise the bomb out, so I will after submission
only be back here.

I will via twitter communicate in between

I am just busy picking wish screen shots to make part of the product page.
There was so much that I shared with all of you, and I want every person, even those that have not been here yet to also understand the volume and value of the package.

You might want to have a look at the price

The FULL price might go up after the first few FREE updates have been added.

So this is almost like a DAILY DEAL SPECIAL, just for 7 days

Currently sitting on 2061 Meshes & 2035 prefabs & 47 ready to use drag & drop buildings to start you of with ...



Cheers
Cobus

 

DO IT!!
Lol hmm now if only my work day will go painless and the drive home will be traffic free... ya right...
Awesome and thank you Cobus!
What the hell is twitter? Lol

 

Chirpy bird noises lol

Sometimes rather helpful, sometimes rather restrictive (especially trying to squeeze everything into 140 characters )

 

Just DO IT already! lol

 

Look I really don't give a crap about you telling the world you just ate at taco bell. Let alone what happens afterwards lol.

 

I don't think we have Taco Bell in the UK. Plus, I'm like you - why do people feel the need to tell the world about silly little things like this?

My twitter feed is mainly used for anything relating to game development

 

Take random picks from your screenshots (and keep the WIPs of scenes out). I think there isn't any single screenshot which isn't good enough. And then hit that magic submit-button Hopefully Unity Guys work also over the weekend that we can get a fast availability

Good luck with your sales

Edit: Btw, it seems like a good timing, finished my excursion on terrain building and have a setup which I like .. only waiting for your buildings

 

That is exceedingly cheap.

 

Hush! Lol
Works great for me!

 

All images added, going to do the actual submission now

Cheers
Cobus

 

I'm with @Archania - Hush lol

 

Is it there yet?

 

Submission complete !!!

Waiting now for feedback from AS

Cheers
Cobus

 

Congrats
