Unity Community Art Challenge - September 2014 - 1990's Platformer

Ok I grabbed the exporter from the store and ran into some errors in the upload :

It spat this one out three times ..

Material doesn't have a texture property '_BumpMap'
UnityEngine.Material:GetTexture(String)
SketchfabExporter:MeshToString(Mesh, Material[], StringBuilder, Dictionary`2) (at Assets/External Tools/SketchfabExporter/SketchfabExporterWindow.cs:220)

followed by this one which im sure is as a result of the first errors

Here is my update from today. I've now finished the final models so I will now just be focusing on getting the lighting right and polishing off my entry. The 1st image below shows the WIP portfolio page that I've been using throughout to show you the latest models to go into the scene and it also shows the current Unity scene.



The 2nd and 3rd images are screenshots of some custom skyboxes I've been trying out. I was wondering whether I could get some feedback on this in terms of which one would look better? The colours and shapes I used are both based on screenshots from Super Mario World itself; which can be found in my 1st WIP portfolio page. It would be great to hear what you think about the skyboxes so I can 100% decide which one I'm going to use in the entry.





Obviously depending on which one I use; will depend on the lighting fixes that I will also need to do before I submit my entry =)

 

No worries I got it sorted , I had to change my shaders back to regular diffuse. I had them on unlit/texture. So here is my sketchfab link. Its was fun and I hope there are more entries. Perhaps they should add a small cash incentive to the prizes to lure in more entries.

 

just realized my lighting is too dark, again! ... going to bake new textures and update them on sketchfab...

 

my work in progress

 

@LAGamesPortfolio - Nice update. I'd pick the mountain backdrop

@shaderbytes - That really came together nicely! So cool to be able to zoom into one's work like that isn't it? Great work once again and congrats for being first to show it off using Sketchfab!

@Fons93 - That's a very promising start right there!! Cool game/inspiration source as well! Hope to see updates on this! What made you pick this one?

 

Gonna start the megaman part today !

 

@AStrkl - Love the idea actually and this is surely looking like a great start! Please keep us updated!

 

Congrats @shaderbytes, looks great! Let us know if you need lighting tips

 

@Sketchfab I always welcome tips - tip me please!

That been said, I just uploaded a brand new set of textures that have better scene lighting, some extra lighting from the gun blast and adjusted several spec values on materials at the same time.

 

@AStrkl @Fons93 @LAGamesPortfolio Nice to see all the other entries WIP rolling in

 

I've imported the Sketchfab Exporter into my Unity project but I don't appear to have the"Custom" tab?

I have the build settings set to PC standalone (as it says that it can't be set to Web) and I didn't have any errors once I'd imported the package from the asset store.

Does anyone know how this can be fixed?

 

check in the game object menu

 

Found it! Thanks! It's because in the tutorial, it said a menu would pop up XD

 

Just noticed a minor error so I'm reuploading the file

 

Here is the new and no-errors version of my entry

 

@LAGamesPortfolio - Very nice! Thanks for participating and finishing your piece!

 

@shaderbytes @LAGamesPortfolio - What operating system are you on?

 

@Sketchfab Windows 8 Pro 64 bit

 

Windows 7 64 bit =)

 

@AStrkl and @Fons93 You guys got any updates on your projects?

 

OMG...THIS IS JUST FREAKING PERFECT...gonna do my best, at least to reach second place, need and want that 1 year sketchfab subscription

Here's my sketchfab.com/led2012


Another World 1991

 

Here is my wip at the mo

 

@led2012 - Glad to hear that you're in for it! Looking forward to your work!

@cgphoenix - Nice start there as well. Cool to see more people join!

 

@cgphoenix Awesome start! Love the glowing rings, very excited to see the final version.

 

SENPAI NOTICED MEEEEE

just to get myself set, I'm gonna do this one:

Gunforce 2, 1994, Mame..
Gonna make this ultra epic..

coz I need and want to win that sketchfab subscription

EDIT: and btw, if you think this is more of a shooter than a platformer, I'll gadly make a crossover between two games

Starting with the platforms, still lots of work to be done



can't let this chance pass, almost done with the background


the bot's head


Her body is almost done


PrincessPeachXFinal Boss is ready
moving on to texturing this, and creating the actual player character

 

Hello all, here is the state of my WIP, and this particular model is of the Flutter ship from Megaman Legends!

 

Here's what I've been working on


Sonic the Hedgehog (1991)

 

It's awesome to see so many new forum members and entries! Bring it on folks! Good work everybody!

 

This looks pretty exciting. Will do something for it! Probably will borrow from the late 90s PSX realm.

 

@Situationist - Rampage World Tour comes to mind...loved that game.

 

Greetings!

Very interesting! When you say "you are to create 3D art inspired by a Platformer from that era" does that mean we have artistic freedom to make the character our own, or do we need to stick to the style of the game/series? My current idea involves blending Mario with The Comedian (The Watchmen) to create a more realistic/darker Mario. Is this acceptable?

Thanks!

 

Hi to all community.
I have a question please.
For creation can use ALL SOFTWARE 3D? Like Blender, 3ds, Maya, Photoshop for texturing?

 

I will create a Bubble Bobble diorama! I have some scenes for inspiration here. My plan is to create a arcade machine with the Bubble Bobble level being 3D inside of it. Think of a shoebox diorama, but instead of a shoebox it is an arcade machine.

 

Great to see many other participants!

This theme was so awesome I created a second diorama of another great game from this time : Booger Man!
This is not an official entry and I did not tag it as such, it's just for fun.

Here is a screen grab of the game for those who might not know about it

 

I apologize if you are insistent, but time is short and I have to be sure before begin WIP.
Can I use any soft to get the job done? Blender Zbrush maya etc?

 

@GIKKIO - You can use whatever software you like.

@Robin_Dao Sounds like an excellent idea! Go for it!

@bradAnderson We encourage artistic freedom! So yeah that is totally fine

 

Hi, Unity commUnity! I started to model something for this contest. Surely most of you will recognize the game I'm trying to make. Just one question: Yes, you can create it in the 3D software that you want (I'm using Blender) but... what Unity has to do with it? Do we have to open the model in Unity and export it to Sketchfab? Or Unity is not important in this case? Thanks!

 

@Panchete - Welcome on board. Nice start on your POP diorama! What has Unity to do with it? It's not particularly about that. It's about making game art. We would like for you to use Unity and Sketchfab to submit your final submission is all.

 

Great, thanks, Thomas. The thing I didn't understand is that you can upload the 3D diorama directly from the 3D software, so that importing it to Unity just in order to export it to Sketchfab is... mmm.. I don't know... isn't a neccesary step, I think. Anyway, I can use Unity (it's a cool game engine software)! I'm learning to use the new GUI in the 4.6 version.

 

Testing some basic textures and lighting...

 

@Panchete - Nice start! Maybe vary the textures a bit here and there?

 

here I am participate too.
I take advantage of the post for present myself to the big community.
Andrea, 40yo, 3d artist I've never used unity but I know what it is.
good job at all.
I participate with a PLATFORM 91, ANOTHER WORLD by Eric Chavi.
One of the games that I loved and that has been a source of inspiration for anyone in this field.

my first 15 minutes of WIP

 

Here is the first screen ive taken of my Smurf village from Smurfs for the SNES

 

Jumping in on this one! So far I've been able to create a quick blockout for planning reasons.
WIPS attached. I've decided to go with one of the very first games I've played in my life: the original Jazz Jackrabbit.

 

Attempting to complete a Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (1997)[PSX] diorama.
Featuring Alucard backdashing down the Library, escaping a Spellbook.

Hope I can finish it.

 

@GIKKIO - I was waiting for somebody to go with that one

@Tjthefoxx Good idea as well. Keep it coming!

@Yandalf Bring it on

@pikpiak That's a very cool idea and WIP! Would love to see more!

 

@Robin_Dao Very excited to see your work, perhaps a bit of inspiration: https://skfb.ly/zXsL

@Panchete Great to see you here

@Yandalf LOVE Jazz Jackrabbit, can't wait to see the final product

Thanks for joining the contest everyone - 2 weeks to go?
