@SteveAdamo I might create a short “how to”, if this is interesting for others, too. Otherwise I am more than happy to give you a one-on-one via Skype .
Actually I start to like Blender more and more. Apart from being a tool for modelling, rendering and animation, Blender includes also a Game Engine. Well, it might not be the full-fledged uber-engine, but as it seems it is quite nice for smaller projects. Adding simple physics (as in the video shown), is rather easy. Took me maybe 1-2 hours to get it done (actually I did it while Tom was working on his icons).
I’ve got to agree on that, there seems to be a cry for gore but in Stonehearth? It wouldn’t even fit, plus it would bump up the rating and I honestly don’t care for gore, I’d just rather it had a wider audience. so yeah, ‘devoxeling’ or whatever @voxel_pirate wants to call it, since it was kinda his thing for the deaths
Well… it is the same skull and that’s it for the moment. Actually YouTube is limiting a bit the possibilities with this rather narrow header-image. I have another idea, but need to see if this works out.
Btw. the picture is actually a Qubicle-model which is loaded in Blender. With the wireframe-view I have created some screenshots and merged them via Photoshop.
Youtube: “Hey! I hope you like us limiting your customization options, and making your channel ugly as hell and super non-user friendly! ENJOY THE FORCED UPDATE. HAVE FUN. ;)”
I have (ab-)used some of the contributions from @neobonde and @Miturion to create a new header-image for my channel on YouTube. Thanks to both of you (especially to neobonde, as most of the models are from you)! I hope you like it .
You might be right, but the header is so small that the castle does not look so dominant in the final header. I guess this is still not the final version… let’s see after a night or two .
oh, that is very slick looking… im not sure the left-right wireframe to full model is “even” though… unless the effect is coming from the top-left, to the bottom-right?
Taking a wild stab in the dark, will you be doing Stonehearth playthroughs on your channel? If so, I’d be keen to know your channel name so I can watch them
@SteveAdamo… it might not be perfectly “even”. But to be honest I was not really aiming for it .
@Smokestacks… I will for sure use this channel for Stonehearth-related things. At the moment this are more “tutorials” and stuff I have been trying around with. In the future I could imagine to create some how-tos for modders and maybe also some “playthroughs”. But I have to think about the language. I would also like to facilitate a bit more the German community, which seems not to be too strong at the moment We will see.
I like it, but I would suggest flipping the effect so that the castle is in wireframe. It would help with the color that @Miturion mentioned and it would give the feel that the simple houses are built and the castle is still a blueprint.
@Smokestacks Thanks. Probably it will be a channel mainly in English and here and there a German video.
@Agon Nice idea. The only problem I have with it is that YouTube is including your Avatar on the left side, so I want to have it black there and the castle is actually only 2 towers and some walls. I don’t think it looks nice if I move it to the left.
