Today I have finally managed to create a character model and rig it using Maya's "Quick Rig" functions.
It's a very basic model, but it is also my first one. For this project it will do, but I fully plan of further developing my skills and making much better models in the future.
I also used a reference for the character, as seen below, to help with designing it.
Below is my fully textured Cauldron prop. It is the same cauldron that will be used as the goo obstacle as mentioned in a previous blog post.
Using the props from my last game, I have now gone through and properly textured all of them using Substance Painter. Some of the textures look untextured such as the rings on the barrels, and I am unsure why this is, but it still has a metal shine effect to it when light is cast on it.
You can see these updated props below.
This is the code I have used for the camera within my game. It is a third person camera.
Below is all of the code I am using for making the character move.
Some of the code in the second image ties into a separate code file for camera movement which will be in a different post after this one.
As it stands, I have plans to incorporate a moving enemy in the game (see previous post). However, I don't actually know how to create such a thing.
I may either have to scrap the idea entirely or simply make it very very simple. However I still plan on having the cauldron obstacle.
The objective of the game is to steal a piece of chocolate from the master of the tower, so the person in question actually existing could be potential for adding a new mechanic and obstacle.
For example, a detection system. Having to get to the piece of chocolate without being seen by them like stepping into their cone of vision, or else you fail.
Below is a quick idea I drew up.
I know it looks bad that I'm posting about texturing a crate now, but I made, UVed and textured this in the span of about 20 minutes. A...
