I just came back to my project
I started by programming my character controller.
I'm using camera-relative movement, and character is gliding on a navmesh.
I have the animations already set and blended right. But i need to hook the variables that control them first.

For my project, I wanted to model a 3d monster similar to Alkali/Acid from chrono trigger. And I got excited about the rigging setup idea I had.
You have a static head and base piece connected by a segmented planes displaying a cutout transp texture

Previously I was busy wrangling project structure. Today I've been standardzing asset creation to fit the direction of my game. I blocked out some simple env assets just to get back at modeling stuff. #GameDev #IndieDev #3DArt #GameAsset #PostApocalyptic #SoloDev #IndieGame #GameArt #Blender3D

Just finished my asset organization tool! It renames, moves, and sorts all my files into game-ready and source folders—and creates a mirror workspace with symlinks for each asset so I can browse everything by asset instead of by type.

Since tday Im dealing with folders. Here's a tool I made for my game that compiles discreteLUTs to serve as postprocess retrorecoloring, it uses multiprcss and nearest neighbor trees to speed up the compilation process by a lot.

Okay, I’ve figured out my game file structure: one folder for final in-game content, another for raw source files. I’ll use symlinks to build a mirrored view that’s organized per asset, so it’s easier to work as an artist. Gonna script it to automate the setup

I spent the day putting all my models side by side to check if their style and sizing matched.
I need to expend the next day organizing my project folders and building a naming convention.

Today I'm stepping back to plan how my prototype should move forward, so no cool new 3dassets. Instead, here's a procedural low poly tree tool I put together in Houdini awhile ago just for fun.

Finally! Done the broken car. uf 3days work.
I'm proud of the the topology and texture. Used a Mix of Photocollage, trim sheeting and lattice deform

WIP This asset is part of the environment I am building for my game, its going to be a destroyed truck, its still far from done. But i am so proud of how neat the topology is coming along I decided to show the model off

I had to fix the scaling on my yesterday's model, was all off and that essentially forced me to remodel it a bunch. Man art is hard...
Well, for today I get to model... a broken car
My hero prop list for this scene is almost over wew :D

There another major environmental asset done.

Just some more background assets. Blender's viewport render cant draw the transparency right on those pots. I might need to work on their texture a bit more, but i want to see how they look in engine before any reworks.

Today I decided to rush out some small scatterable environment assets. I got 24 done. they're all bound to the same trimsheet. I have other 6 modeled but they don't fit in that TSheet, so I will get them done tomorrow.

Nice, another prop done.
This is fun cuz I only knew how to rig in maya and and in Houdini before this project.

Follow-up on the door rig from yesterday:
I reworked it to improve the setup. Now there's a controller mesh that slides along a path via Curve Deform. Each point represents a bone's anchor, normal, and tangent. Bones use Copy Location and two Damped Tracks to snap into place and orient properly.

Another prop for the project
This one has a rig and everything. The animation of it opening could look better ofc but that's a problem for the future

Another prop for my project, this modeling pipeline i put together for my props is quite a breeze to work with :)

I started modeling some retro assets for a small and fun crpg
project ^^
