Started a new series to try and jumpstart my motivate-y parts. I’m not sure if it worked.

See the rest by clicking the link below, and let me know what you think?

The one I actually use.

Check it out!

I follow back and stuff.

Tire tracks able to be painted on the pavement! I decided to use a third normal in the blue channel for tire tracks, so I have the pavement normal, snow normal, and now I can paint the tire track normals over the snow! Progress!

It’s hard to see with the terrible resizing/sampling tumblr does, so here’s a link to the image (on an only slightly better photo sharing site): http://i.imgur.com/THkXZ.jpg

New environment I’m working on. Wrote the snowing material and by accident made it look exactly how I wanted. Wrote a vertex material for snow painting/blending (in use on the pavement) that I’m excited about. I can apply it to the rest of the scene too and hopefully make things look snow as fuck.

And on a general note, some things have changed. I have a new project I’m working on. Hopefully the blog will forgive me for my absence. I think it’ll be a good way to keep myself motivated.

blocked out more of the scene, but this has been a slow week. spent too much time messing with the depth of field shader. it’s getting there but I’m still having some trouble with the “selective” aspect.

Okay, okay, I swear I’m done for tonight.

Grass is just such a pain in the ass, I had to try it, hopefully I can make it look better…

Anyone have any advice for modeling/texturing plane-based grass? I can’t find much information online for current techniques.

A sample of what I’ve been working on recently just to keep things moving. Not quite there yet, but this is arguably one of the biggest parts of the scene, so I’m gonna take some time here.

An audio track, possibly for the scene, that I came up with today. Obviously a work in progress, but...

No problem. I'm working on a modern styled roguelike thing and I ran into some limitations with UDK, and I'm sure I'd run into the same with Source. Found some good help with Unity. At the moment I'm working on creating tile-based dungeons out of pre-created tiles, and it's been interesting. I'm not a programmer, of course, so there's something. But I'm becoming one.

Unreal engine games, with the exception of one (Borderlands) ran poorly on my slightly older laptop (it was 3 years old. Source and Unity games run smooth - of course Unity can run in a browser so you got that.

Thanks again for the help.

Ah now for something like that I can definitely see why you’d want to choose a different...

Well, UDK vs. Source then! While I like UDK's non-coding possibilities, and it's robust renderer, I'm finding the actual engine limited toward a certain style and speed of game.

Tue, 01 Feb 2011 17:46:38 -0500

I can see how you could arrive at that, however personally through using both, UDK always seems to...
