Last issue, we shared the texturing work Cass had started on the forest homes, many of which resemble beautiful log cabins due to the intricate woodwork featured throughout. Much to Cass's relief (we're sure anyway), he was finally able to finish applying textures to the townhouses over the past few weeks. Take a look!
Lastly, Nick revisited the 3D model for his previously created Anagativa skeleton to improve its shape and textures before handing it off to Allie for rigging and animation. After finishing up the forest townhome models, Cass then started in on texturing each of the structures. Can you spot it? Let us know in the comments!
After fiddling around and running some tests, Will was able to make it so that the character can effectively roll through various environmental objects - like the barrels shown in the clip below - to destroy them. First, Shelly gave a little facelift to the texturing used on our Masarusa enemy. Behold.the completed, eight-legged fiend!
Now that he's done with the model itself, Cass will focus on unwrapping the UV's before getting started on the detailed texturing for this colossal beauty. With Shelly's keen eye for detail (and impressive modeling and texturing skills), she's been able to capture exactly that with her new and improved crystal models.
There's a specific role the damaged piece plays in the Kristala demo's core storyline, and it coincides with an NPC we've been keeping under wraps up until this point. This sprint, Fede was able to continue working on the soldiers and armor he'd started, polishing up details and working on intricate textures.
This week, Cass continued chipping away at the base model for the Cathedral, adding a secret attic area that will house an important NPC you'll will meet along your journey. Now that both versions of the Cathedral models are complete, Cass can begin unwrapping the UV's before diving into the tedious texture work. Take a look!
One such creature featured in Kristala is a sweet and gentle Hemani named Cloudette, an NPC you'll encounter in a unique level area called The Hermitage. The last concept we were able to cross off our list this sprint is a character concept featuring a jolly and loveable Ana NPC named Neil of Nisarga. 3D Environmental Design.
We’ll be sharing some clips from David’s recording sesh for Hiratrola—plus many more making-the-trailer goodies—over on the Kristala Patreon hub , so join us over there if you’d like to snag some exclusive Kristala content you definitely won’t find anywhere else. Another cool trailer tidbit, especially for our friends who enjoy metal music?
Using a design from our concept art team as a guide, Hassan first began piecing together this stunning wooden abode, then carefully textured it to make it look properly aged and lived in. They were instead created by a special NPC for a specific purpose.
If they don’t create textures themselves, 3D modelers will work especially closely with texture artists and look development artists (aka surfacing artists) who will add realism and detail to their model through texture maps and shaders. They may also be required to use software that processes scans and photogrammetry.
In our last issue, we showed off Nicholas's progress on the details he's added to give this NPC the signature Keozan look. With Lophi's model and textures nearly complete, Pete spent the first half of this sprint finetuning this beasty baddie's details and adding some additional flare to the character's fins and spines.
Although he'd already completed the base models and initial texturing for the Nisargan Impaler and Rosethorne Swords prior to this sprint, Cass spent some time this month further refining each design and finetuning its details. Here are two of the different texture variants Pete showed off this sprint.
