Character Creation System - [RELESED]

Heya !

Straight to answer your questions:
1. You propably need to rewrite some things + reorganise few things to work properly with your project.
I would go here for instantiating the prefab that instantiates saved armor or body parts (rewritting needed)
2. I dont fully understand what you suggest here If you want to add your own things into the package go for it.
System should work if armor is on the same bone structure as the body.
+ I'm swithing off and on some body parts when there is some armor on.

As for the rest currently I had a break because of million things to do at my work.
In few next weeks I shoould have more time to heavily return to this package and continue on making some cool stuff
All male armor are in the proces of recreation so hopefully you'll see some good stuff

Cheers !

 

hey dude awesome tool by the way!, Quick question, how can we save characters we make in the editor for use in other scenes? Like saving them as a prefab? I tried pausing the editor and saving the modified prefab state, but upon load most of the textures are gone.

 

No updates in a long time, want more updates.

 

Heya !

@andrewwatt96 - saving them is on your side. There are many ways to do that.
Saving the prefab might not be a good way. (or try to have all armor referrencing to the resources folder).
A better resolution is to have a script that remembers the name (or the ID) of the item and the script should instatiate the armor when loaded on the start. Try this way.

@Sehlor - I'm half way in an upcoming update. Next planned updates are:

1. male armor - more items, proper textures and normal maps.
2. female armor - more items, proper textures and normal maps
3. redone skeletor with proper textures and normal maps
4. new hairstyles with transparrent texture (this might be a paid update)

These are already planned and the first update of male armor is already half way
I have new or polished meshes, new smooth groups, more items and props.
They already have UV maps and are almost properly rigged.
Whats left is to finish rigging, make normal maps and textures.
(+ some export)

I have more free time now after work so hopefuly I'll be able to show you some new WIP screens of the armor

If you have more questions dont hasitate to ask them

Cheers !

 

Yay!

Cheers!

 

Also a question,

When i convert characters into Humanoid rigs for mecanim, animations getting wierd, how can i fix that?

 

Heya !

It depends what animations can fix, but you can fix the standard animations you have by yourself with a view for them.
Check humanoid animations to adjust please.

And for all who are waiting for the new update I will post some screen in next 2 weeks
(they are WiP but worth waiting for )

 

I'm using this packages:

http://mr-necturus.com/store/index....ath=62&product_id=425&sort=p.price&order=DESC

 

hey, I see a bunch of cool updates, awesome! unfortunately, I'm not on 5 -- does it need to be 5 only?

 

Heya ! no I guess it doesnt need to be unity 5 since it was working in unity 4.6 and I changed almost nothing - except switched to new shaders which also changed nothing.

To all: Due to huge amount of work and some personal amount of work there hasnt been an update in a long time now.
I mentioned that I'm half way with new update but had no time.

As a bigger break in the project I've started to build a smaller asset (different stuff) for asset store.

But after releasing the asset mentioned above I will be working only on this project.

Since some time passed I've leared alot on the way I'd like to refresh many things in a step by step process.
I've mentioned it before already, it will be: hairstyles and facial hairs with a proper transparency, new skeleton body, redone armor for male and female seperatly. And maybe finally a new female body with her own bones and not shared with male character !

As an extra stuff I will be thinking about moving the animations to mecanim/generic animations in the builds, since it is already done and is working as humanoid or generic animations, but the demo code is still old.

All that should finish the package and will give me some space to bring more and new different armor, weapons and animations in some extra packages that will be working perfectly with this package.

I will keep you posted as soon as I'll finish current asset

Cheers !

 

Heya ! as promissed something I'm working on as it goes to new Update

I hope you like it

This is all WiP, so dont get excited too much

 

Do you have any plans to port this to UMA (https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/35611)? I am currently looking for medieval armor for my game using UMA and I think your system would work great if it were expanded to cover UMA as it would allow much more customization.

 

Looks nice.

 

Heya Gozdek and thank you it is WiP so export more pretty and finish stuff in the future

nosyrbllewe - I dont have plans currently to put it into UMA. I will find out what it takes to prepear it for UMA after I'll finish the update.

Currently I've started to sculpt normal clothing - so adding alot of wrinkles and changing few textures.

If exporting it to Uma will be easy than why not

 

And some new staff !
I'm currently at the rigging/export part with both male and female clothing already.
Next stop is sculpting, normal maps and textures.

 

looks nice.

I suggest you make some outfits about viking, like the outfit weared on The Skellige Isles peoples [wither3]
their clothes are a mix of blue color, red color, white color streaks and grids. some outfits have leather and fur part.
also suggest you make a few mask that cover full face or half face for ranger and assiassin.

good luck.

 

Heya !

@witchscroll - these are great idea, though I'm not thinking of any new design for this package. new armor sets will be added quite soon I guess in a new package. For this I'm focus on quality and polishing + proper implementation and some good rig.

As an update I'm almost done with export and rig testing soon I'll be posting some ready armor sets that will be in the next update. (for both male and female)

cheers !

 

Hi poboczny

I'm developing my indie game
http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/wipwitchscroll.224179/page-2#post-1923976
the picture you post last time looks nice and right fit my game. i will watch you.
hope your release coming soon.
good luck.

 

Heya ! The game looks nice !
And youre using the character from the blacksmith
I'm working hard to actually have a stable rig/parts armor meshes for male and female.
Its 4th time since 2 weeks that I'm revisiting them and redoing.

I'll be also posting some specifications for verticles numbers of the meshes and armor pieces.
Also there will be more textuures to have a better quality.

What you saw above was a higher poly version that will be baked into the lower poly models so that the game is optimized also for mobiles or any platform. (it really depends o the entire project)

When I'm tired of this package I already started to sketch some expansion armor and cloaks ! (yes, cloaks!)
that are working pretty well on the higher quality PCs.
Also I'm planning to put into the expansion some extra animations for sword, axe or 2h weapons fighting.
Expansion will be a seperate package with its own price, but will perfectly fitting this package.

I'm going back to work now !
I will keep you posted

Cheers !

 

Heya !

Here are some news:

1. All meshes of armor for male are done !
2. Entirely new female body in mesh is ready (texturing and baking left)
3. All armor for female will be entirely new !
4. Many animations will change - I have a huge improvement on them !
5. New skeleton model
6. new hairstyles with a proper, transparrent texture !

I'm actually trying very hard every day after work to have new release before the new year,
but there is plenty of work still to be done, so propably at the end of January.

I will post you with new pics or videos maybe even next week

 

Looks nice.

 

hope can see the release soon. my indie game need it. good luck.

 

Im really impresed with this asset, after years passed, and still alive and making better

Keep up the good work

 

Heya !

Yeah I'm trying to make this package as best as possible and start
doing a new one that will be as stand alone and also will be an expansion to this one,
having almost the same amount of content and/or at least some creazy good features.

Today I finished female armor sets in mesh, and currently I will be testing them all.
May take a while since export takes a while of all items.

Since its only a mesh (white traingles ) I will not show anything yet.

Most screens will come when I'll start to bake textures, normal maps and specular on the items or female body itself

(Expansion pack also is in the process of making, when I'm fed with this package I started to shape some new armor and animations that are currently crazy and ekhem.... NPC script, and also... some cloaks )

I hope you will enjoy it

cheers !

 

hi poboczny

can't wait to test it in my indie game. i suggest you make the scale of your project smaller, do not developing 2 project at the same time. hope i can see the release soon. do not let a release take too long time.

 

Hey man !

What do you mean by the scale of the project ?
(in upcoming release there will be more armor pieces to each slot: more helmets, more chests, more belts, boots and gloves )

Also I'm not in a hurry with the release since I prefere to have a good product than a buggy one

So far its getting foreward and hopefully it will stay this way.

Oh one thing I've forgotten to mention:
There are soo many new items, almost all reworked, so the new update will be propably a paid update.
(not expensive but I spend so much time and put huge effort to make it work and be better than perfect)
+ there might be more features or reworked things coming that I didnt mentioned yet in this package but I will when the time will come

 

We Demand Trial By Combat.

Oh sorry, wrong phrase.

We demans screenshots!

 

Heya Sehlor Screenshots should come soon since just 5 minuts ago
I exported and tested all female armor parts and I'm happy about what I have

I will now start to work on sculpting, normal maps, textures and some renders finally to show to you guys !

So expect next post from me soon and with some renders

cheers !

 

Heya ! So sculpting and texturing has started !
Which means that at the end of January for sure a new update will come

I'll be posting alot of screens of these kind on the way and also/maybe more from in game/unity print screens of hoow it goes

New screens of how WiP looks like



I hope you like it !

Cheers !

 

And the Cloth Armor Set is ready

 

I suggest make your camera lower while take screenshot. like the screenshot you post at 20151113

hope a release coming soon.

 

Thanks, It's a print screen from Unity WiP, though these clothing will be in the next update.
Hopefully this month There is still soo much work on it

 

you forget the hood.

good news. my indie game need them.

 

Cannot Wait to get my hands on them!

 

Heya !
I'm half way through the final stage of the package, but due to few days break there will be a small delay.
Currently planned release (sending for pending) will be at about end of the first week of Februrary.
I will cut some parts like new skeleton to make rest quite ready and done.
Thank you for waiting and for patience !
Cheers!

 

Oh though I have a new scene to share !
Clean and sharp
More screens soon

 

Heya ! While still working on female clothing I have something to share on the way
I'll also try to update the forum with a short movie of Ubrin.




Cheers !

 

looks nice!
1
how many polygons your character have ?
2
it looks your character hight is 7heads, is it? why not use 7.5 or 8heads hight ?
3
can't wait to see the release date.

 

Heya and thanks.

1. Screens above are high poly, but with the release there will be new screens from real time. Poly count for characters is about 4k to 5k verts. with armor it is slightly more, depending on the armor.

2. characters are 7.5 heads, only the cape is above the head.

3. I have 4 sets of male armor ready, also 2 female armor sets ready. Today and tomorrow I'm planning to finish another 2 sets of armor for female and on friday propably I'll be sculpting and baking new female body. As a finishers I'll fix some animations which I already almost have and also I'll be making some commercial video or screens for the asset store. So I'm actually really close to release this package

I hope this answers your questions

cheers !

 

Looking good! Would really love to see UMA versions of the clothing/armor.

 

i have been watching the progress of your Ubrin - character-creation-system, are all the updates you are doing now , will they be added to this system ?
And will it get regular updates?
Thanks for your reply

 

Heya ! New updates will be added quite soon. Regular updates no, rather improvements from time to time now.
Though expect extra packages that will work with this system

And something to share ! I just finished bakking textures and normal maps for all female sets !

Now female sculpt is on the way and some fixes + specular and the package is ready !

So all in all I almost finished with the new update

 

Hi poboczny
1
what's the difference between new update and regular update?
2
actualy i do not care if they will be added to your exist plugin package, or a brand new pack.
frankly say, i think these characters looks much better than you made earlier years.
I suggest release them as a new pack. no need armors switch ability. you may release them one single character one single pack.
look forward to it.

about

I'm not a fan of lowpoly, sometimes it means lowquiality, but it looks like you have done well with such few verts.
in my indie game, i use the challenger as my main character, it's way to much polygons, 500k i guess, it's a boom!
hope your character with armor is between 6k----9k and with good quality, that's enough.
hope i can find a suitble character from your uncoming pack for replace the challenger in my indie game.

 

1. what do you mean by a regular ? I mean Im refreshing this package from time to time with many different things from time to time.
2. It will be within this package though if you bought this package a while ago there will be a paid update.

I guess that with armor its from 6k to 10k even.
Low poly is a must in games, even in latest games, you still need low poly, and maybe you'll want to use this package in a mobile game than this number of verts also can be enought to run it.


I'm going back to finish this update

 

Oh and speculars are ready also !

 

Heya ! Uhh... that was a long time !!!
I have finished the female body, textures, faces and all armor sets for all.

Whats left: few animations polishing, promo video and screens !

And here will come an update !!!

 

Heya !

All animations are refreshed and ready to go.
Marketing lleft only which is some screens and a movie.
I'm thinking about few movies like: animations only, characters only, female and male sets only.
All in all package is ready When promo materials are ready, this forum will be first to know about it
cheers !

 

So.... the package... is... pending !!!

And I'm proud to share with you a latest movie of a package version 5.51 !

Oh btw just to let you know, package will cost $135
And update is paid ($30)
I've raised the prices due to huge improvement on
the package and also due to huge amount of time spent on it.

 

just saw the youtube video above, looks good.
1
suggest release a free version [only include 1set armor+1male character+1sword] for user to test before make decide to buy. some people may need to see if your stuff right fit in their project/scene.
2
suggest make a few sailer/pirate cloth/armor/hat
3
in your video, the bow didn't be drag to full while using it.
4
the camera position in your video still looks too high, it make the character looks lower.
5
glad to see there is a draw sword from back animation in the video. but it played while the other hand equip/unequip sword to side. is it only use for 2 weapon pose?

thanks.

 

Heya !

Thank you for so many questions and I'll gladly answer

1. free version for now is impossible, unless without scripts or animations - that might be done
2. I'm in a process of making a heavy full plate expansion pack with some extrass on top In the future I might think about some pirate set - cool idea
3. I'm still thinking on how to handle the bow animations, I might have 2 or 3 sollutions though I had no chances yet to start on it.
4. camera works fine for me - it has only show purpose, though I'll take a closer look on it once you've mentioned
5. yes, it is made for 1h, 2x 1h and 1h with shield. when the camera is behind the character it also hides in a better way the shield equipping if you have it. also it should not bother in game for the second hand to reach in the second sword possition, since the hand should go somewhere there while equipping 1h anyhow (it might sometimes )

And something extra that is comming to the store: (some pics)





video shows it better, but these also are in game screens.
There are much more itams for each slot, and many other things.

I'll post the release notes once the package is accepted by asset store
