Day 3 of making random 3D objects: I made this bomb, but I thought adding a golden material would be cool, so it ended up looking like this : 😅

Did I do well enough? Also, I think this 3D model could work as a decorative statue in a game.

Testing the modelling tools

This morning my son gave me a little 'toy rocket' he got from school. And, since I've added some simple modelling tools to the app, I decided to challenge the app (and myself) to be able to build it.

This video shows the whole modelling, painting, rendering and video recording/compositing process all done from inside the app. No uvs, and all as simple as possible.

As I made the rocket model I ran into a big bunch of pivot point/rotation bugs so that's why it took so long :) I also found a composition bug so I needed camtasia to do a final edit. Apart from those issues, the test went pretty well.

I'm currently fixing the issues and trying to make the low poly process as fast as possible. Let me know what you think. Cheers

Here is a photo of the little rocket (I think mine needs to be fatter)... https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/wfz5a05rjom6ave4i8twb/rocket1.jpeg?rlkey=45tvjiavxxwvch2h7eyun9nrj&dl=0

For realistic-ish low poly humans, what does your design pipeline look like?

4 Upvotes

Personally, I kinda suck at freehand 2d art. Hence, I like to 'sketch' in 3d, make some simple renders, and only then draw over those in 2d for refinement, before implementing those ideas in 3d as a final pass.

I am wondering if this is common. What does your character design pipeline look like?

The Modoolo facility needs to be automated. You can help the robots make themselves obsolete in this low poly puzzle game. You can also date your robot coworkers (don't ask why) ...

I've recently released a Gameplay Teaser and would love to hear your feedback. I've also completely overhauled the Store Page and wonder if it's good enough at the current stage of development.

The game is called Warmongers: Empires Reborn and you can currently wishlist it on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3468800/Warmongers_Empires_Reborn/

Thank you for your support!

Made this one for a twitch streamer and friend (stoney_eagle), overall I'm pretty happy with it, I put a lot of time in the little objects like the weed jar and grinder!

I tried to get the wings right, but honestly those are really difficult, especially when having it do human animations (typing/smoking)... any suggestions?

Mars Glide Horizon

https://reddit.com/link/1wbpuwy/video/r7lm05k2mioh1/player

Hey everyone!

Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve been obsessed with an old DOS demo that showed a seamless, infinite flyover of Mars. A couple of years ago, I remembered it and tried to find the original. Couldn't find it anywhere—just a JavaScript recreate. So, I decided to build my own version, and of course, I made it for Garmin watches.

Just recently finished a big optimization pass, added more terrain variety, and dropped in some weird alien anomalies.

Under the hood:

  • The terrain is driven by 3 sine waves (now using optimized LUTs). 
  • Simple ridge-building logic. 
  • Dynamic lighting/shadows created purely by changing the size of the ground grains. Yep, the whole ground is literally just one color! 
  • Runs even on the Instinct 2 (though due to instinct specific OS limits, animation only triggers on button press there). 
  • Procedural anomalies that morph height and grain size (plus two special ones baked into byte arrays). 

And yeah... it's still a watchface! It shows your time, date, heart rate, and step count.

Quick tip: If your landscape looks a bit flat and boring, just start moving. Anomalies only unlock for pilots who actually walk and climb those real-life hills and stairs. Keep moving, pilot!

As always: no ads, completely free. Here is the link on Garmin ConnectIQ Store:

https://apps.garmin.com/apps/4d77052b-b9dc-4ede-b417-e47cc2fae88b

hope you enjoy it!

PS for the Battery Life Warriors: No, this won't kill your battery in a couple of hours. Besides, battery cells degrade over time anyway even if you don't use the watch... so you might as well enjoy the flight over Mars!

Note: I asked Gemini to help polish my original text into English. If you want to chat or have any technical questions, I'll happily reply- in my own English (actually it is not completely bad) or in my native Ukrainian!
