Project Epsylon

Characters are different. Sam is the technical guy which is why he's up with a computer pad having a couple of tricks. Georgo is more the conventional guy. He's doing his work the good old way without much technical gadgets. What goes for the inventory this had been my idea in the first place. After...

Make the window and door separate for the moment. This way I can make certain things breakable if required. I have to add some physics joints anyways which would be a way to test it.

There are better ways to do this. One way is to use the Orbit Camera. Use two views. In one view you work and move the objects. Place the 3D cursors Where the Orbit Center should be. Then place the mouse in the other window and hit 'C'. The camera is now orbiting about this location. Use the middle ...

Looks promising. Is that on the left side the door? If so I would like to have it on the long side so I can put this against a wall with the other side ( so at this side there need not be any windows ).

Just create a first version. I'll have then a look at it and if some vertex count is too high or low I'll tell you. Usually I judge this on a per model base. Some models require more vertices to look good and others can get away with some cheaper vertex count.

There is not really a limit on this one. In the end the Graphic Module decides the detail level ( either auto-reduces if required or increases polycount using the normal/height map as displacement map ). Hence use as many vertices as you require to make the shape look good. You can use a high-polygo...

That's true. I tend now to work more with "filler" lights instead of ambient. Don't know why but I feel more comfortable this way. Maybe be me.

It's not required to be identical to this one. The image is supposed to give you an impression. The construction wagon is only required to be on wheels ( hence elevated ), has one door and a window or two and has a round top-side so the water goes down easily. The entrance has to be at the long side...

I'm using my own file formats: .model. You can export to this format using a python script for Blender. I usually though prefer it as a .blend file. This way I can apply small changes if I modify my scripts. But this is not required at all costs since you have Blender on your own.

That's correct. In the end though the most important is that the player has the advantages and a good game play. Blue might be different but ur eyes are to blue is in contrary to green much more insensitive which means that using night vision you would see not much more than without it. But the idea...

Yes, I noticed this. The links point to the old domain which doesn't exist anymore. I'll fix the links tomorrow and then I'll send you the files for this one.

The rig is no problem. I can do this rather quick ( or I can give you hints about this whatever suits you more ). What exactly you mean with "what type of object"?

Fish lens eye is a problem. I tried it out with the two-camera approach and this already "special" for the player to work with. Fish lens also is very tricky to do with hardware since it's not a linear transformation like conventional planar projection. It can though be kept as a sort of "tester" fo...

Wow... zombie alert. That topic is already dead since over a year now. I don't think he's even frequenting this place anymore. He got hit by the typical life-eats-all-time trap

Welcome on board. I'll put you on the Contributor group like any new member. You can then take a look at things for some time before becoming a potential Team Member. I'm looking forward to you
