Spring RTS Engine

mmh.. a figure, only shown when a single unit is selected, that is standing still - and it dissapears upon moving out..

that's one of the ones that's nice when you find that perfect balance.

Its my sollution to way to big unitnumbers when it came to varyfoos..

Merge to many chickens into one big ueber-chicken-
reduces unitnumbers CHECK
looks kickass when transforming CHECK
smell of fear-shitstained playerpants CHECK

War is Peace.
Hate is Love.
Limitation is Freedom.

Learning to sculpt and that "bake normals from high-poly" thing. Also pointiness procedural materials.

preliminary work, over 800 tiles, under 200 unique mesh's

very cool

amazing

I wonder what the chances are something like that could be used in game?
Perhaps something like gajops work could use a combination of the rendered texture and heightmap to allow placement in game.

Either way, awesome work.

, where there is a will, there is a way.

We're looking for support if you want to help out.

Since I'm being mentioned, what is that?

hmm, looks like a sculpted cliff to me., still needs materials and retopo.

I'll have to get good at doing it if I want to do it another 180 or so times.

If I knew more about the subject I'd be all over it, but as of now I wouldn't know a thing. Plus, I already can't seem to find enough time for the things I'm working on already

However, I am getting pretty comfortable with chili; if you get to that point I might be able to pitch in

Thanks, not really sure if there will be a requirement for any ingame interface associate with this work. its mostly offline map building stuff.

It really is a cliff
So is the idea to use that as a feature in Spring?
As far as I understand, even your mysterious tiling wouldn't really support this as terrain due to the heightmap limitations in Spring. Am I right?

voidground to the rescue.

This is one of the things that ive been wanting to get working forever. Anarchid and I are work on making It a reality.

This pieces is really just a test of shaders and it looked pretty so I uploaded it for fun. I've got to figure out a friendlier way to output all the maps we need from blender, and since i'm using node based cycles shaders its not a straight forward task.

looks phenomenal, only 180 to go

Seems there use could go well beyond spring as well

You're not wrong, but my intended audience for now is spring.

Just imagine if I didnt need the blender step ... what a world that might be.
