Log #18: Mochridge Treetop


I really underestimated the scope of the treetop task. It took way longer than expected to bring the Mochridge tree to an acceptable result in Unity.
I thought I could save time by creating a texture for a gigantic leaf-ball-mesh and place this mesh all over the tree. For sure the Mochridge tree is pretty huge. To fill all these branches with leaf was a hard challenge. I prepared some basic leaf-meshes first so that I can duplicate, drag and drop them on the tree.

Additionally, I created 2x4k textures for this tree leaf mesh and reworked the bark texture as well. Drawing all the little details was very much work (I guess I worked only 3-4 days for the leaf texture). I switched between Photoshop and Blender texture painting tool in order to get rid of all UV seams. After the so-called leaf-balls, I’ve added texture planes to bring some variation into the general appearance of the Mochridge tree.
The necrotized parts of the tree are very important for the game’s story. I made the tree bark white and the leaf brown / black to denote the rot. I needed a transition from “alive” to “dead” for the tree bark texture. It is clearly visible in my opinion, but I’m not sure if the transition may look a little bit too harsh…

Heya there! I really wanted to show you all a little gameplay preview of the first boss fight i'm currently working on i hope you like it ^^

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

Showing off player 2 😎

What do you think?

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.

Hello my space friends! Now I added a space background to the ship. I love that space look but I still feel like stuff is missing. The lighting on the ship needs some improvements I think. Please tell me your opinion!
