Handses
Hands are coming along.
Once again Eric and I are shifting plans. Summit is our primary focus, and we’re going to keep it simple – a small, executable project. It’s the reality that we’ve come to terms with – we simply don’t have the time for a grand scale operation.
And in keeping with that, I’m looking forward to coming up with an easily executed art style. I have some ideas in mind – stay tuned.
Working on a new dude-guy in blender
Another day, another new vertex in the Summit dudeguy. It’s heartening to see progress over a few hours.
Making asteroids
I’ve found a pretty excellent tutorial video on asteroid creation in blender. It’s quick and easy (although it remains to be seen as to whether all those vertexes will play nice with Unity.)
Next step, unwrapping the mesh to apply a texture so that Unity will be able to see it. I’m following along with this video, I recommend it.
