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…

What's coming out of your own improvs? 🤔

Runestones: from concept to in-game model🗿

One of the most critical update for Sunblaze demo. Now you are able to pet a cat! Finally!

A house I've built a while ago. :)

It nicely separates the snowy biome from the grassy one.

It's built with painted Ebonstone.

Spaaaace~

These are background sprites I've created for a game I'm working on at school ^w^ Click on the post to see how the sprites connect. You won't regret it! (personally, I think it's pretty heheh)

Drawn in Piskel using my mouse. Whaddya think?

I worked so hard to get all four of them to the end safely, but then...

If you have more of an acquired taste, the restaurants in Niravasi have you covered! Maybe skip the salad bar, though.
