animation controllers, satan be thy name!! (Expand)


Been a bit too busy to really work tonight so ive been setting up the animation controller for the player. while moving and idle are all handled through a single blend tree it becomes a bit more complex when it comes to tools. a tool works by transitioning from the idle state to the charge 0 substate which contains the blend trees for each version of the tool in all directions. this then either transitions right into the use state where the tools use animation plays or if the charge state goes up one level it passes into the next charge substate and so on until the button is released or the tool cant be charged anymore. Its frankly tedious so if anyone knows any hints or tips about unity's animator to save me from this horror do get in touch :D

VERY early test of very basic systems in my new project. Do your work, keep the lights on, and everything will be fine. I really want to gush about some of the things not seen here, but will save that until they can be shown off. FnafKit who?

I'm currently working on a new game with a team of people. Here's a mannequin being assaulted for test purposes. Gotta do what you gotta do for your damage systems.

Light menu is still undergoing it's refit, some behind the scenes code changes making it easier to edit multiple lights. A light will also toggle on/off depending on its intensity. So custom events don't need to be loaded with two different commands.

(Mines and menus preview build)

Available for testing now

I know updates have been slow but there really isn't much to talk about when you're just tidying up existing code. We're looking at updating the art style to be just that bit nicer. The crop system working with an overhaul to interactions with tools.

Lightweight object recoloring test. This test is looking at coloring defined areas with as little excess data as possible and uses NO mask maps, alternate materials and does not break object batching (won't melt the PC when you have hundreds of swatches!)

Finally, you can sell the fruits/veg of your labour. :)

Our latest efforts have been rewriting our scene change code and with that comes some lovely transitions made using a greyscale image and a new shader.

Character bits! We're currently throwing together the character animation pieces for the new customization system :P

Wall height is being adjusted to accommodate things such as stages and lighting while also giving animatronics more breathing space.
