RPG/FPS Project 2014

Yeah, it ends today :C So back to indie effects for me; I learned some valuable stuffs while using the trial I could try to make some more effects for iFX

That's awesome so like vocational high school?

 

Bloom wasn't actually useful, I just used the fast bloom not some fancy bloom flares. The real hero was the contrast stretch it makes everything look nice, also vignetting which we have in indie effects so that's good

 

@Eric2241: No, just a catholic high school.

And that was fastbloom?

 

Cool, yeah it was just fastbloom, contrast stretch and vignette.

 

Damn, now there's a way to utilize several fx at once!

and in fact, it's possible to do vignette without RenderTexture. (It's actually the oldest trick in the book: just stick a plane with transparent tex in front of camera! )

On the other side, though, we like to see colour bleed too...

EDIT: Oh, i almost forgot! if you wish to see some true progress on track designs for my game, then head to the thread! I posted textureless renders to show clear progress on the track!

As for the textureless part, though... that will be fixed soon!

 

500 x 500 is 250.000 sq m

 

@primus88: sorry man, what ya talkin' about? I have no idea what you just said!

 

Whoops! I did that when I was really tired, yay for multiplication!

 

So the unity pro trial ended and I've recently started working on the project some more. I haven't done much due to massive amounts of school stuff so here's some pictures from the editor.

 

Something inside the game.

 

Some new stuff. Note I'm back in unity indie so currently no image effects or pro water. Just indie stuff.

 

Bamboo is far more dense than this, far far more dense. Also doesn't really grow on the beach.

 

Dem trees & foliage!

 

Yeah. I wish I could do more but the polys are just too high. Also as for the out of place bamboos, they're there for atmosphere and variation, rather than accuracy.

 

Thanks man!

 

Haha I remember when i tried the trial of Unity Pro.. It was so haaard to go back to Indie lol
Also you know a description on what the game will be about might be helpful

(Sexy Environments btw )

 

Cool thanks! Currently there will be a back story, also where the tutorial is located. Then its up to the player what they do, but there's a general goal.

 

ooOooh sounds interesting

 

Thanks!

So Unity crashed and deleted the plateau scene...but I quickly recreated it and here it is now! These were all taken in the editor!

 

What colour is your directional light?

 

I actually have 3 lights. I have one blue light (ambient), one yellow/white light (sun), and one red light for highlights.

 

Turn down the blue one. Less saturation.

 

Alright, though I don't know how to make it less saturated. But I feel like if it weren't it would be really washed out.

 

Just as a heads up we've gotten the Rain Warfighter ai from RivalTheory and it's really powerful! Expect some ai soon. I just need to integrate it with fps constructor and we are good to go!

 

Turn down the saturation in the HSV colour sliders?

 

Oh right! I completely missed that!

 

During daytime colors are pretty washed out except in the deep forest. There will be a hint of skylighting but not too much.

Best way is just to go out side and closely observe the lighting at different day times. Lift up a rock and observe it. Notice the different angles the light comes from and what value that color is. This sometimes helps me.

Of course you will not get it too good due to the fact Unity free does not have effects needed for decent lighting conditions but you can try to get it as close as possible.

Glad to see more screenshots and looking forward to the AI. Keep us informed.

 

I feel like GI could give me the lighting I would need to make it like Arma III daytime lighting. Since we don't have it I guess I'll keep it a bit saturated even if it makes my scene look like Battlefield or the like.

 

Well I meant HDR, tone mapping, bloom, and linear color space. GI is a great help but even a basic lighting system could look great with certain effects like the previous mentioned.

In Unity 5 we are getting a new ambient lighting setup which looks great. So you will most likely not need 3 directional lights and it could work with the sky material being used. So it should work a lot better. Hopefully we will get to try that before next fall.

Another thing that I noticed in your shots is that some models are blue while others are not. Take another performance hit but you should change the render mode in each directional light to important.

 

Its been a while and so I'd like to show what I've done in this time. There's a new logo now:



Here's one image from the new main menu scene.

 

We all still think gameplay comes before graphics. Showing a logo is a terrible idea when your game isn't done..

 

Yeah I understand, I've made some progress with the UI. I have to port all of the old UI scripts (which were mainly finished) over to 4.6 and then make Squad Command compatible with fps constructor.

 

Here's the main menu as it is.

 

That isn't just a menu...
...it's AWESOMENESS!!!

 

What do we want?
Gameplay!
When do we want it?
Before the logo and fancy map!

 

I just saw the meme in my head hahahaha!

PS: This looks awesome visually! Are you right now working on Unity Free or PRO version?

 

I'm on unity free.

Thanks Fuzzy!

You'll get that soon. Integrating fps constructor and rain is taking awhile.

 

Navmesh Generated for some main menu action!

 

Unity 5 update! Menus are functional!

 

Not sure what is going on in the menu, too muchstuff.

 

So... I suppose with all this going on, unity 5 means we can all spruce up the graphics now?

You know it.

 

...Still no gameplay It looks more like an art showcase rather than a game.

 

Gameplay on demand! lol, here's some prelim stuff. I know that the reflection probes are too strong, but they should look better later, after I keep playing around with it. Also I know that the frame rates are really low, but that's due to obsolete APIs of a distance disable systemin 5 that I need to fix manually.

 

@Eric2241: I can help find any issues in unity 5 if you like; I managed to fix all the slowdown I had in my project!

 

I'd love that though the project is 20+ gbs and I'm probably going to rescript a new system. I've also noticed that occlusion culling doesn't do too much...IDK I think it may be me, as I've never used it before 5.

 

Probably is you... I also have found no use for occlusion culling. Yet...

And 20 gigs?! My project takes up 500MB for everything! But then again, all of those fancy assets are probably the judges of that.
