So I made the grass using an alpha texture and select Masked and Two-Sided in the material in UE5, but the side without light looks pitch black. Found a fix but not sure if it’s right .. how do you solve it?

Finally made the trees and added simple wind animation to the leaves.. Now it’s time to see how many of them my laptop can handle before it explodes🔥

I don’t know how people use hair particle systems to place leaves and make it look good... mine ended up looking like trees on steroids.. So now I’m back to the old school manual method

Finally textured the leaf.. Now time to make the tree. Guys, is it just me or does it look more stylized than realistic? 😅

I used a real life leaf image to make a grayscale map and turned it into an alpha texture for maximum realism… funny thing is, no one’s probably gonna notice...but it makes me happy 😅

Funny how I can make complex 3D models but still can’t draw a flower.

Working on procedural aiming. Ignore the left hand .. no proper animation yet. Need to reduce the camera shake a bit. I am thinking of making a proper aim animation for it instead of Procedural. What do you guys think?

My first attempt at making an attack animation.. still learning, so any advice to improve it?

Working on player attack and damage system.
The player will only get damage when the AI swings its arm and it hits the player
I like making things complicated😁

I made this monster walk animation directly in Unreal instead of Blender. Do you also use Unreal for animations, or do you stick to Blender or Maya? Curious how many devs actually animate inside Unreal 👀

Playing hide and seek with them is hilarious.
They look like peeled chickens running around.😭😂

I went a bit quiet lately... been super busy making capsules, artwork, learning animations in UE for the monster AI, and even working on the game’s announcement trailer. A lot happened behind the scenes, but now that most of it’s done, I’ll start sharing updates regularly again. #gamedev #indiegame
