Some walk cycles yeah. No transitional animations yet so it is what it is, the transitions purely used blending.

can't believe i jerry-rigged a jeweller's loupe into a macro attachment (don't worry its only screwed on after the lens finished extending). it's a fun little thing

vertex painting is cool! works really well with procedural noise, and can be reused multiple times, each unique. here it is implemented via a procedural brick texture and the plaster can be painted on

tried pushing the frame-and-brace geonode prototype to its limit, looks like it works quite well

i spent HOW LONG making parametric roofs in blender?
... 3 days? this better be worth it
at least it works well though. i can rapidly create roofs now

Testing making modular building segments, and i think it's going rather well. i just need to figure out a good way to make procedural roofing

okay my pc is back and alive and here's a tang dynasty era wheelbarrow. apparently they're first invented in ancient china.

collection of things i've made so far. all are game ready (technically?) with baked details and relatively low tris count

Baking 32800 tris into 460 tris feels great. also the bucket feels great too I guess

a render of the animation cycles, testing transitions, blending, and multiple animation practise
new model for the robe, and a preview of it with physics
now to make hair...

Final iteration of the IK-based bow rig with potential to scale with equipment size
two sample connectable animations

The foundation for the projectile system is basically done. It can be kinematic and home towards targets, have ballistics, or be hitscan. Projectile definitions are ScriptableObjects.

The lock-on is bad but for now it'll do. Cinemachine is really obscure to me.

Making custom editor drawers in Unity is kind of nostalgic, reminds me of GUI making in Java GUI, before JavaFX.

Though I wish Unity provided a graphical tool for this. So like... a tool used to make other tools.
Code snippet showing the creation of a custom property drawer in Unity, which bears surface resemblance to Java GUI programming.

I shouldn't be taking too long on technical things... I instead made an attack compendium system which allows me to procedurally generate dynamic attack colliders for every animation based on animation events on any entity, kind of like Souls games.
