is the reason: because velfarre has been playing animal crossing

exactly right.

i really wish i could find the animal crossing models so i could just retexture them for laughs

ahaha this is excellent. i've never actually played animal crossing so my first impression was PILOTWINGS which rules

man that bird rules. you guys are getting really good at this! i just downloaded unity (i used to use it back in uni so i still remember my way around) and yeah time to have some fun!!

a bird knight guy. helmet and spear and cape made seperately, textured by messing with the texture paint thing in blender which was handier than i thought!
 

it might be just me but those textures look a lot better than the uv mapped ones, they seem to fit the objects better perhaps? i dunno. good work though.

i think it's because you can use opacity layers etc in blender's texture paint, so it doesn't have that flat effect that you get by doing everything with mspaint filltool.
 
unfortunately i couldn't get texture paint to work properly again so here's a cubeish pugdog done the old way.
 

 
edit: the textures a bit wonky because i altered the mesh after uv mapping it

the pug laying on its side is the best thing

reminds me of danny devito

continuing the dog theme i made a murderdog. actually i made a murderdog for my first ever textured model so i wanted to see if i could do better now. to be honest i kind of prefer the cruder original model! is this what 'selling out' feels like.........
 

 
and my first attempt
 

Made a moonbase thingy. The real point was to see if there was a way of getting tiled textures in wings. It turns out that there is! if you add an image and then use the "snap image" function to attach it to selected tiles. I still need practice with it but it's p fun to use at any rate and exponentually faster than uv maps. I think you could probably get good "n64like" models if you skip uv mapping entirely and just use vertex painting with some snapimaged decals (wasnt this how link was in OoT).
 
anyway once i finished texturing the moonbase i got lazy and just did a vertex paint on the moon house oh well
 

 
ps yeah idk how theres a wooden bridge on the moon either!! its a ~mystery~

i suddenly realised that my portfolio is unforgivably lacking in monsters and dread beasts so i made a quick attempt to remedy this
 

thanks for that catamites ive just removed all the lamps from my household because we dont use them (we live on the sun)


good work

This is my fave thread on SW atm don't let it die!

I forgot how to do skinning in blender

gems should have been built into model already in retrospect rather than just painted on but oh well

Are you making progress with Unity, cats?

yeah, i've been watching a lot of tutorial vids over the last two days and can do stuff like get cameras to follow objects and attach scripts for things like jumping / movement / projectile systems etc. i'm hoping to get a short game done by mid-april featuring the gem dog as the main character. if i can work out animations and stuff then i'll try for a platformish thing, otherwise i'll just lodge a camera behind the model's head and use it as the gun object thing for a fps. i could be underestimating how much work everything will take but at least i'm getting my head around the general framework for everything if not the specifics of all the javascripting etc.
