Mesh Visualization Mode


A very quick and hot status update during these last hours of 2021 (from the CET timezone)!

We've just completed the implementation of the various visualization modes in the integrated ShipBuilder. The most exciting visualization mode is the "mesh mode" which displays the ship mesh structure on-the-fly while you place individual structural particles:

"Mesh mode" fills-in the gap between the traditional "Paint" style - i.e. the pixel-by-pixel visualization of structural particles as displayed by image editors - and the real game, in which the ship structure consists of a triangular mesh over the individual particles. In this mode you can't make mistakes and you'll be presented directly with the structure as it is in the simulator.

This feature concludes the bulk of the ShipBuilder features that we had planned for the first release of 1.17. Stay tuned as a first release might be coming quite soon!

Happy new year to all Floating Sandbox fans, and looking forward to allowing you to build fantastic ships in 2022!

Today I was setting up the location of the first boss. His name is "Father" and he is the first of the Patagonians. His task is to guard the road to the House.🛡🗡 Bookmark pre-launch page🔖🔖🔖

Quantum precognition is one of the most powerful cards. End game cards & equipment. Demo/alpha build boss is no match for this deck.

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

Hi everyone! I started to create some environment props for my new video game, here is a cozy house in the forest. I'm planning to switch from Unity to Unreal... Let's see what new challenges I have to face. Made in Blender and Substance Painter.
