Our Great War

Every moving piece has to have a bone that pivots, rotates, scales or moves in order to move the mesh, or geometry that it controls. Bones in 3D can stretch and don't have to be rigid. I probably didn't need to animate the trigger since you won't see it!

We're still working on the Gewehr 1898 German rifle: adding more detail, UV unwrapping the mesh to apply texture via a texture painting app, then baking it all into the final game asset. Since this is so close to the camera, the quality needs to be high.

Working on the targeting control, to make it a bit more random and chaotic for battle. Yellow lines are for debugging.

Optimizing the first level so it can be played on slower computers but still enjoy the realism that's been put into this project. It's easy to be inefficient, so it's time to optimize.

More asset creation. This 1907 bayonet will be at the end of our Lee Enfield rifle but also around trenches and other areas.

Revamped the targeting system to be more chaotic, like battles tend to be.

There was a bug where, if the unit was coming from the flank, only the one corner solder would be targeted, essentially getting all the bullets.

Without any AI implemented yet, the opponent just stands there and gets shot. Working on that next!

Lots of technical difficulties are popping up, from dead computers to engine crashes. But we're still making progress! Here's a sneak peak at one of the latest levels being developed.

Readjusting and remaking some of the mechanical animations for the Lee Enfield rifle. It's now more accurate.

Need to add a bit more variation in my death animations since they just fall forward or backward. Death isn't this neat and tidy.

Behind the scenes look at the first person modeling and animation. While the soldier won't be seen, hands and arms (and sometimes feet) will be. So we can cull out the body in first person-only model to make it more efficient.
