MicroVerse Texture Presets - New Wasteland Preset in the Content Browser Roland C 2022-10-13 | I needed a new texture presets for MicroVerse and Jason allowed me to put them into the MicroVerse Content Browser. So here you got at your convenience, will be available for everyone with the next update. Enjoy 😊This video is a quick showcase of how quickly you can set up a terrain with the Content Browser. While I was at it I thought why not just add a desert dunes field inbetween. Just because I could 😁Assets used:* MicroVerseassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/microverse-core-collection-232976?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=sti&utm_source=aff* StampIT!

A Heist Gone Wrong - Animation Preview Pro - Currently on -40% Sale Roland C 2022-10-09 | Since my asset Animation Preview is still on sale in Unity's Asset Refresh sale, I thought I'd do a little advertising by creating a new scene using Synty Assets. The Heist asset is quite nice for that.Please note that Animation Preview is the asset on sale, but you can upgrade to Animation Preview Pro cheap for the period of the sale, so that it totals to getting Animation Preview Pro also for -40%.Assets used:* Animation Previewassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/animation-preview-224321?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ap&utm_source=aff* Animation Preview Proassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/animation-preview-pro-227335?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=app&utm_source=aff* Photo Sessionassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/camera/photo-session-227393?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ps&utm_source=aff* POLYGON Heist - Low Poly 3D Art by Syntyassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/urban/polygon-heist-low-poly-3d-art-by-synty-97949?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ph&utm_source=aff* Rifle Animset Proassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/animations/rifle-animset-pro-15098?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=kb&utm_source=aff* Pistol Animset Proassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/animations/pistol-animset-pro-15828?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=kb&utm_source=aff* SceneCameraTheft by Alex Lovett
MicroVerse Content Browser & Genesis - Quick Showcase With RAM Integration Roland C 2022-10-08 | My Ultimate StampIT! Collection is still on the -40% Asset Refresh sale and MicroVerse's initial release sale ends today. So I thought I'd make a new video quickly to show some updates.The content browser got a shader for the heightmaps, ie they aren't red anymore. The texture stamps got a new preset for Grassy Rocks. My upcoming asset Genesis got a RAM integration for syncing the MV splines to the RAM river spline.All in all it's really shaping up nicely. I guess the amount of time it took to create this scene speaks for itself. I'm pleased 😊Assets used:* MicroVerseassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/microverse-core-collection-232976?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=sti&utm_source=aff* Ultimate StampIT!

MicroVerse Content Browser and my Ultimate StampIT! Collection (currently in Unitys -40% Sale!) Roland C 2022-10-02 | Jason Booth allowed me to modify his Content Browser for MicroVerse to fit my needs. I did so in thought of meeting also hopefully your requirements, you know I'm all for reducing click count, ease of use and flexibility while keeping the UI slim. It's minor details I changed, but I think it'll be worth it for everyone. Jason has already been very helpful enough by listing my heightmaps out of the box in MicroVerse (@Jason thank you!!!). By the way, I pushed an update of my stamps this week, they all support MicroVerse once you update.And more importantly: My stamps are in the Asset Refresh sale for -40%. In case you want to support me, see link below.This is really exciting stuff, I had to make another video of the Tank asset I did a few weeks ago, now with MicroVerse support. Last time I used the Unity Terrain Tools, which are destructive. Now with MicroVerse which is non-destructive and layer based. This is such an incredible difference to work with.Modification of terrain has never been so easy and fluent. The only think that takes long in the video is me thinking which stamp I want to use next 😁In case you're interested: I set up the textures also with MicroVerse, that's how the splatmap gets modified automatically. I can share the presets if the request arises. It's not that sophisticated, just some slope / height / etc settings per terrain layer, very easy to do in MicroVerse.All in all I'm super pleased with the progress. When you think that Jason started this 1,5 months ago, I can't wait to see what you guys come up with when you use MicroVerse especially with the ideas and feature requests you'll have 😊Assets used:* MicroVerseassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/microverse-core-collection-232976?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=sti&utm_source=aff* Ultimate StampIT!

Genesis for MicroVerse - A first Introduction Roland C 2022-09-25 | MicroVerse is awesome! Jason Booth revealed his latest asset recently and I had good fortune to be granted early access. I wrote little helper tools to quickly get scenes created for testing features. I called the toolset Genesis, I thought it's fitting to MicroVerse. Jason's video:youtube.com/watch?v=b-hDzb7AgsUAs more and more featuers were integrated into MicroVerse also Genesis evolved. As you can see from my channel I really do love to prototype with all kinds of assets, get quick results. So I took the chance and incorporated several tools I've always been using on a regular basis.This video shows a preview of what Genesis for MicroVerse will be. MicroVerse is super flexible on its own and I have a very strong feeling that a lot of publishers will adapt to it and provide configurations for all kinds of features. In that way Genesis will adapt and keep its dynamic nature. I do think this is a good mix of tooling in combination with keeping the MicroVerse inspector slim, eg there's no need to have a "Subdivision" setting in every single Spline Path. There's more to come, I wanted to keep this first video brief and show what it's about. From Jason's video you can see that there's eg Vegetation. And MicroSplat integration and this definitely begs for MicroSplat Trax! 😁Note: The ATV driver losing the hand grip occasionally is because I used a beta version of Unity. This doesn't happen in LTS versions.Assets used:* MicroVerseassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/microverse-core-collection-232976?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=sti&utm_source=aff* Genesis for MicroVersesoon on the Asset Store* StampIT!

Exploring Autumn Valley with an ATV Roland C 2022-09-07 | NatureManufacture released a new scene with autumn ambience. I couldn't resist buying and exploring it. It's really nice looking and fits the season.

Building a Ramp quickly with YAPP Splines for Trial Bike Roland C 2022-08-15 | I was toying around with Simple Motocross Physics today and thought about where to integrated it. The choice was Abandoned Factory Buildings since I was already using YAPP with it. One thing led to the other and so I built a ramp using YAPP Splines to go skywards. The ramp consists of Pallets aligned along the Spline. I thought I'd share this quickie 😁Assets used:* Simple Motocross Physicsassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/physics/simple-motocross-physics-221408?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=mp&utm_source=aff* [HDRP] Abandoned Factory Buildings - Day/Night Sceneassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/urban/hdrp-abandoned-factory-buildings-day-night-scene-164492?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=af&utm_source=aff* YAPP - Yet Another Prefab Painterassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/yapp-yet-another-prefab-painter-223381?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=yapp&utm_source=aff* Photo Sessionassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/camera/photo-session-227393?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ps&utm_source=aff
Raccoon exploring the Neighborhood Roland C 2022-08-14 | The very nice guys at Blue Dot Studios sent me a HDRP version of their Modern Neighborhood House asset. I thought I'd go all in and add the Malbers Raccoon and combine it with Fluffy Grooming Tool, checking out the latest version of those assets. I wasn't done there, so I thought I'd also check out the latest Unity alpha combined with their Water asset. So I replaced the pool that came with the Modern Neighborhood House asset and made the Raccoon swim. It's just a few settings after all to achieve that.Well, I'm super impressed. That scene is constructed out of 4 assets. Plus my very own Photo Session to take close-up pictures. And it was done within 30 minutes. It's really awesome what you can achieve in such a short amount of time using AAA assets 😊Assets used:* Modern Neighborhood Houseassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/urban/modern-neighborhood-house-blue-dot-studios-227216?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=mnh&utm_source=aff* Realistic Raccoons and Red Pandaassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/animals/realistic-raccoons-and-red-panda-126443?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=mrac&utm_source=aff* Fluffy Grooming Toolassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/modeling/fluffy-grooming-tool-193828?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=fgt&utm_source=aff* Animal Controllerassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/animal-controller-148877?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=mac&utm_source=aff* Photo Sessionassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/camera/photo-session-227393?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ps&utm_source=aff
SceneMark - Preview of upcoming SceneNav Update Roland C 2022-08-14 | The initial release discount of SceneNav ends today. So I thought I'd share a video about what's coming up within the next weeks in case anyone of you guys would like to support me with it and wants to get SceneNav cheaper.I was using SceneNav extensively recently and naturally it suggested itself to create bookmarks. I call them scenemarks, since it's all about the Scene in Unity. I made it look like QuickNav and so I kept the history & favorites.I think I can have a release version within a few weeks, have to test some more first. Maybe change a few things here and there, implement ideas that come up while toying around.

Exploring Modern Neighborhood House with the Malbers Realistic Wolf in URP Roland C 2022-07-31 | A new asset caught my attention, so I thought I'd explore it with the Malbers Realistic Wolf. It's always nice to walk around in environments.I thought I'd share the experience. The asset is quite good. A HDRP version will come as well according to the Asset Store description, can't wait for that. I have to try that then with the Fluffy Grooming Tool as well, I'm all for eye candy.Speaking of which, the thing I really enjoyed while moving through this environment was the glass. It's remarkable. The scenery is awesome. What could be improved for realism is adding a bit of grass. But it's URP after all and in that regard rather aimed at performance. Other than that this is an excellent new asset.Assets used:* Modern Neighborhood Houseassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/urban/modern-neighborhood-house-blue-dot-studios-227216?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=mnh&utm_source=aff* Realistic Wolfassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/animals/realistic-wolf-190336?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=mrw&utm_source=aff* Animal Controllerassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/animal-controller-148877?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=mac&utm_source=aff* Photo Sessionassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/camera/photo-session-227393?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ps&utm_source=aff

Dragon Sighting in the Swamp Roland C 2022-07-28 | I took a little hike to the other side of the game engines. Unreal Engine 5 is just awesome. So easy to use, such excellent results.The look is on purpose this way. Shaky and what not to just camouflage the game that's behind it.The only tricky part of this video was to figure out how to simulate a handheld camera, hardly anyone tells you that.

Exploring the Islands terrain stamps of the Ultimate StampIT! Collection Roland C 2022-07-28 | I received feedback that people would rather have a focus on the assets I submit than lengthy videos which would show much more. Since I released the Islands Stamps today, I thought I'd explore this option.Here's how you can create Islands using my Stamp Collection. I prepared a scene for that and flattened and stamped the terrain over and over. You can see how quickly this can be done.The vegetation and splatmap were created using Vegetation Studio Pro. I used my Vegetation Studio Pro Extensions for quick access. Was also required for setting all vegetation to Instanced rather than change each and every single one of them manually. Looks like Instanced Indirect isn't supported for all of the vegetation. The vegetation is Tropical Forest Pack, the biomes of that asset are used in Vegetation Studio Pro. The Ocean is Crest Ocean. The boat controller is Dynamic Water Physics. The boat itself is Fast Rescue Craft Mako 655.The video turned out to become longer than expected. I could have cut it off after the first sequence, but it was fun to explore the scene with various stamps. So I thought I'd keep it the way it is for the interested ones.Assets used:* Islands - StampIT!assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/islands-stampit-227639?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=islands* Ultimate StampIT!

Terrain Stamping with Realistic Tank Controller Demo Roland C 2022-07-19 | Here's a quick one. The asset Realistic Tank Controller got an update which caught my eye on the Unity Asset Store. I thought I'd try it out. However the terrain of the demo scene that comes with the asset looks a tad too simple for my personal taste. So I thought I'd amp it up a bit with my own StampIT! Collection Examples which you can use for free by the way.For texturing I used Microsplat Procedural Texturing. And Microsplat Trax was mandatory for the tracks of the Tank. The explosion of the asset got replaced with the VFX I used for the Drake demo scene.My free stamp examples asset has grown to quite an amount. As you can see, you can be very quick with creating a new terrain with them. No need to buy my collections with such an amount of free stuff, but of course I'd be happy if you do 😁Publisher page:assetstore.unity.com/publishers/48228?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=pub&utm_source=affAssets used:* Ultimate StampIT!

Animation Preview Pro with Auto-Selection and Synty Assets Roland C 2022-07-12 | Thank you very much everyone for the very positive feedback on the previous Animation Preview video! 😊User Yolan posted this in The Messy Coder discord:@Rowlan you should really make the preview inspector its own window so you can easily switch between characters. Then you can use OnSelectionChanged so you don't have to deal with dragging/droppingWell, if it saves mouse-clicks I'm all in. So I drafted up a quick prototype which is shown in this video. It's open for discussion. At first I thought I'd leave the old functionality in as it is aditionally, however after toying around with this some more, I think I'll drop it and stick with the editor window alone. It's much more flexible.Gonna finalize this version, make the auto-selection optional, test some more and upload it to the Asset Store later this week.

Follow-Up: Knights moving through NatureManufactures Forest Environment Roland C 2022-07-10 | With yesterday's Knights in a Forest video I was curious how the same characters would look like in NatureManufacture's Forest Environment. So I set up the scene quickly by using the Demo scene and adding a lot more trees using my own asset YAPP.The NatureManufacture assets are very well optimized, so it was possible to add even more Knights to the scene.All in all both assets look good, but with the NatureManufacture asset you get more versatility. Please note that the demo scene contains a RAM demo, not RAM itself. But then again, both assets Forest Enviornment and RAM combined are still way cheaper than the Beech Forest asset. You just get more out of it for a lower price. And performance is way better with the NatureManufacture assets.I guess the asset choice pretty much depends on which look you want to achieve.Assets used:* YAPPassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/yapp-yet-another-prefab-painter-223381?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=yapp&utm_source=aff* Forest Environment - Dynamic Natureassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/vegetation/forest-environment-dynamic-nature-150668?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=fe&utm_source=aff* Knight 04 (Fantasy Woman)assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/humanoids/fantasy/knight-04-fantasy-woman-227101?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=kn04&utm_source=aff* Knight 01 (Templar)assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/historic/knight-01-templar-220015?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=kn01&utm_source=aff* Knight 02 (Saracen)assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/humanoids/fantasy/knight-02-saracen-220426?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=kn02&utm_source=aff* Horse Animset Pro (Riding System)assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/animals/horse-animset-pro-riding-system-79902?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=hap&utm_source=aff
Knights moving through the Mega Bundles Beech Forest in Unity Roland C 2022-07-09 | I toyed around with the Mega Bundle some more. I saw Maksim Bugrimov released a Knight asset today and it looked gorgeous. So I thought I'd integrate that new female Knight and other Knights of his assets into the Beech forest asset of the Mega Bundle.I think it turned out quite nice. Of course I needed a Horse to ride on, so the preferred Horse Animset Pro it was. Took only a few minutes to set up the scene. Character animations are also from HAP.And while I was at it I also toyed around with the upcoming editor mode frame selection of my own asset Animation Preview. The Saracen's crouch position as an example. And in addition to that I added a few more details to the forest with my own asset YAPP.I thought I'd also show some performance statistics using Graphy. That Beech forest is rather performance hungry, but it does look nice. However the publisher replies this to reviews of that asset:"Sorry, our main target audience is AAA game developers. (So only HDRP) These packages were just a test run for Unity. We will not be developing any more packages for Unity. We have found that our packages are not suitable for the Unity community. We recommend checking out UnrealEngine5 packages."So I take it that performance improvements will never come.Assets used:* Animation Previewassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/animation-preview-224321?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ap&utm_source=aff* YAPPassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/yapp-yet-another-prefab-painter-223381?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=yapp&utm_source=aff* Knight 04 (Fantasy Woman)assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/humanoids/fantasy/knight-04-fantasy-woman-227101?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=kn04&utm_source=aff* Knight 01 (Templar)assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/historic/knight-01-templar-220015?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=kn01&utm_source=aff* Knight 02 (Saracen)assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/humanoids/fantasy/knight-02-saracen-220426?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=kn02&utm_source=aff* Horse Animset Pro (Riding System)assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/animals/horse-animset-pro-riding-system-79902?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=hap&utm_source=aff* PUBLISHER-CURATED MEGA BUNDLEassetstore.unity.com/mega-bundles/procedural-worlds?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=mb&utm_source=aff* Beech Forest Ecosystemassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/vegetation/beech-forest-ecosystem-211534?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=bfe&utm_source=aff* Graphyassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/gui/graphy-ultimate-fps-counter-stats-monitor-debugger-105778?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=grphy&utm_source=aff
Tropical Island with YAPP and the Mega Bundle in 10 Minutes Roland C 2022-07-02 | Currently there's a publisher sale with a publisher curated Mega Bundle. I thought I'd toy around with the assets of that bundle. This time with the "Jungle - Tropical Vegetation" asset. I wanted to create an island, so I experimented with the creation of island stmaps, I think it turned out quite nicely. If there's demand I'll release an islands stamp asset.The scene can be constructed quite fast. Basically it's just using the ocean from Crest, adding a terrain, applying a stamp and textures. Then paint the vegetation prefabs using my own YAPP. There's much more available in the Jungle asset, I just scratched the surface.I added a bit more detail with Microsplat Wetness, that's always mandatory when it comes to terrain, the beach just wouldn't add up visually when there's an ocean over it without wetness. And while I was at it I also applied stochastic texture cluster mode to achieve texture tiling removal. Microsplat isn't part of the Mega Bundle, but you should have it anyway already. It's that good 😉The Mega Bundle bundle would contain Crest URP, but my preference is HDRP, so I used the HDRP version.I had almost all assets of the bundle before I bought it. However, if you are undecided, the asset (STP) Survival Template PRO alone is worth having the bundle.Clips:00:00 Using Cresst demo as base00:50 Stamping an island01:52 Adding shorelines02:30 More terrain textures03:40 YAPP trees05:10 YAPP rocks07:50 Adding MicroSplat08:54 Shoreline wetness09:10 Flying aroundAssets used:* YAPPassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/yapp-yet-another-prefab-painter-223381?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=yapp&utm_source=aff* PUBLISHER-CURATED MEGA BUNDLEassetstore.unity.com/mega-bundles/procedural-worlds?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=mb&utm_source=aff* Jungle - Tropical Vegetationassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/jungle-tropical-vegetation-178966?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=jtv&utm_source=aff* MicroSplat Ultimateassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/microsplat-ultimate-bundle-180948?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=msu&utm_source=aff* Crest Ocean HDRPassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/particles-effects/crest-ocean-system-hdrp-164158?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=crest&utm_source=aff
My new asset Animation Preview with Infinity PBR assets in Lordenfel Roland C 2022-06-19 | The assets of Infinity PBR are very versatile, so I thought I'd explore some of their assets in combination with my new asset Animation Preview which is currently on initial release sale on the Unity Asset Store.With Animation Preview you can preview the animations of assets in the Unity Editor without having to hit play. This has the additional benefit that you can quickly see how the assets look like in motion in different environments. Please check out the asset description for more details.This video is just me browsing through some of the Infinity PBR assets, checking out various conditions in the most awesome Lordenfel environment. I left the music that I had playing in the background in. It's from Sky Mubs and I think it's epic and awesome. In the video please ignore the errors in the console. The animations send sound events and since those are only interpreted with a proper listener and in play mode, those are consistency checks. They've got nothing to do with how it is in play mode. It's the nature of things in Unity, however I wanted to keep it as it is.There's a lot more in those Infinity PBR assets that I didn't show. In that brief amount of time - if you've even watched 20 minutes so far - I just wanted to go through some of them and see how they look like in Lordenfel. I think they fit quite good in there and in any Fantasy environment.A big THANK YOU VERY MUCH shoutout to Infinity PBR 😊ps: unexpectedly I did like the Mushroom the most, it's very versatile and quite different from everything else I've used so far. This is what one learns from trying out and toying around, one of the reasons why I implemented Animation Preview. The Mushroom is really unexpected, yet leaves an awesome impression 😊ps 2: the pink Devil is just my fault, I missed something in the conversion to HDRP. Similar regarding the flying Devil, was my fault, apologies for that.00:00 Setup01:20 Spider03:46 Troll05:06 Giant Worm07:04 Mushroom09:04 Skeleton11:02 Goblin12:54 Gazer14:50 Cobra18:24 DevilAssets used:* Animation Previewassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/animation-preview-224321?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ap&utm_source=aff* Lordenfel: Castles & Dungeons RPG packassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/fantasy/lordenfel-castles-dungeons-rpg-pack-175628?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=lrdf&utm_source=aff* Spider Character Spiders Packassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/creatures/spider-character-spiders-pack-79409?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ipbf&utm_source=aff* Troll Character RPG Fantasy PBRassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/creatures/troll-character-rpg-fantasy-pbr-145706?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ipbf&utm_source=aff* Giant Worm Pack PBRassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/creatures/giant-worm-pack-pbr-40134?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ipbf&utm_source=aff* Mushroom Monstersassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/creatures/mushroom-monsters-38176?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ipbf&utm_source=aff* Skeleton Character Packassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/creatures/skeleton-character-pack-141363?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ipbf&utm_source=aff* Goblin Characterassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/creatures/goblin-character-166272?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ipbf&utm_source=aff* Gazer Pack PBRassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/creatures/gazer-pack-pbr-113051?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ipbf&utm_source=aff* Cobra Snake Pack PBRassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/creatures/cobra-snake-pack-pbr-138776?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ipbf&utm_source=aff* Devilsassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/humanoids/fantasy/devils-72390?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ipbf&utm_source=aff* Music from Sky Mubsyoutube.com/user/skymubsPlaylist I was usingyoutube.com/watch?v=2bKlHnoXzMQ&list=PL6c2LH_4bYLvRCC0rHCHCSWMRF_Fb-D6UWebsite: sky-mubs.comSky Mub's social links:• Youtube : youtube.com/user/skymubs• Facebook : facebook.com/skymubs• SoundCloud : soundcloud.com/sky-mubs• Twitter : twitter.com/SkyMubs• Itunes : apple.co/2Pb6JWv• Spotify : https://spoti.fi/2vFc9RJ• Amazon : amzn.to/2Bl3rNU• Website : sky-mubs.com• Email → skymubs@hotmail.comCheck it out, the music is epic
YAPP - Western Town Showcase Roland C 2022-06-15 | Thank you very much everyone who supported me so far with purchasing YAPP! 😊 I thought I'd show how to quickly populate a Western Town with the awesome assets from Asset Maiden and Malbers.Or in other words: YAPP (Yet Another Prefab Painter) is not just for vegetation.Of course you'd fine tune everything with assets like MicroSplat Trax for horse tracks, add dust and wind. Or add Enviro for day/night cycle and such. This is just supposed to show how quickly you can create the base of an environment.Enjoy 😊Assets used:* YAPP - Yet Another Prefab Painterassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/yapp-yet-another-prefab-painter-223381?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=yapp&utm_source=aff* Western Town Environment* assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/historic/western-town-environment-151648?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=wt&utm_source=aff* Horse Animset Pro (Riding System)assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/animals/horse-animset-pro-riding-system-79902?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=hap&utm_source=aff
YAPP - Forest Showcase Roland C 2022-06-12 | I pushed YAPP to the Unity Asset Store last week and yesterday it appeared on the front page of the Unity Asset Store, which is quite the honor. I didn't expect it to become that popular quickly 😊 It's on inital release sale in case you are interested:assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/yapp-yet-another-prefab-painter-223381?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=yapp&utm_source=affYAPP (Yet Another Prefab Painter) is not just for terrains, but while it's on sale I thought I'd show how one could quickly paint vegetation with it. After all I initially started developing it for that purpose. It's become so much more. For the showcase I simply took NatureManufacture's Forest Environment and repainted the vegetation on their demo terrain. I just love the NatureManufacture assets, they are among the best on the Unity Asset Store.In the video I just disabled the terrain details and removed the objects in order to simply paint them again. This is just a quick showcase, of course you'd push the vegetation back into the terrain or into the persistent storage of Vegetation Studio Pro for performance reasons. YAPP has options for that.What I didn't show are the various options for painting, let alone spline distribution. I wanted to keep the video short. For quick painting on larger scale you'd probably want to use poisson disc distribution. As well as terrain texture filtering. For details and fine tuning you may want to use the fluent mode. It all depends on your artistic preference. Maybe check out the many videos in the asset store description.And of course there's life in a forest, so I quickly added the Malbers Raven to fly around with it. It just had to be, the Malbers assets are also among the best on the Unity Asset Store.00:00 Original demo scene00:18 Removing original assets00:56 Painting trees03:16 Painting rocks04:50 Painting tree stumps06:00 Painting bushes08:14 Physical branch distribution10:06 Painting more trees10:34 Adding the raven11:48 First play test12:42 Making the forest denser14:26 Second play testAssets used:* YAPP - Yet Another Prefab Painterassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/yapp-yet-another-prefab-painter-223381?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=yapp&utm_source=aff* Forest Environment - Dynamic Natureassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/vegetation/forest-environment-dynamic-nature-150668?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=fe&utm_source=aff* Ravens and Crowsassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/animals/birds/ravens-and-crows-121424?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=mrc&utm_source=aff* Animal Controllerassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/animal-controller-148877?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=mac&utm_source=aff
Creating an Island in an Ocean in 4 minutes with only free assets Roland C 2022-06-06 | I wanted to create a texturing asset for terrains. The approach that makes most sense is stacking layers and applying filters to them. Another one would be nodes. But for less complexity and also good results a stack works just fine.I got the asset Procedural Terrain Painter from Staggart Creations recommended. And actually the description was already quite nice, especially the MicroSplat integration.So I checked it out. And I have to admit, it does exactly what I intend to do. Lacks a few filters for my personal preference (concavity, erosion and such), but all in all this asset is quite good.After toying around with it I thought why not create a quick video, especially with only free assets, about how to create an island in the middle of an ocean and texturing it.The video is only 4 minutes, I guess you get what's being done. In short: Use the crest island scene which has already presets for the depth cache for shore lines. Textures are from the Unity terrain samples. Terrain stamp is from my free StampIt! Collection Examples. And the texturing is done using Procedural Terrain Painter.What I didn't try yet is the MicroSplat integration which the asset supports. I just wanted to keep this video with free assets only. But adding Stochastic Texture Cluster mode definitely adds considerable value to the scene by eliminating terrain texture tiling.Also, I think you can see why I don't add splat maps to my stamps. Everyone would change them anyway when you realize how easy it is to texturize your terrain at your personal and artistic preference with custom and free textures.Assets used:StampIT!

Re-Creating the Drake Scene within minutes Roland C 2022-05-28 | I thought I'd show how easy it is to create the environment of the Drake scene with AAA assets and my terrain stamps. Precondition is you got the assets. But from the way I show them in my videos I guess everyone already has them 😁You can get the terrain stamp for free as well. Upon request I bundled it with the free StampIT! Examples. Please leave a review in case you use it. And do share what you create, I'd really enjoy seeing others use my work.I didn't want to overwhelm you with information, so this video is just the basic setup. If there's demand for it, I can add the rest as well like water interaction, diving, the big Drake running after the Drake, etc. The video is very short, yet you see what you can achieve in that very short amount of time.Here's a list of the things I did to achieve the look of that scene:00:00 Pick what Malbers uses for the camera and create a prefab00:22 Base the scene on a Crest example scene00:42 Create the terrain using a stamp from my StampIT! collection01:20 Add textures using the awesome Castle Valley Collection02:00 Add Crest shorelines02:54 Add MicroSplat: remove texture tiling04:36 Set MicroSplat wetness height to indicate shoreline wetness05:00 Add spires from Castle Valley05:34 Add the Drake06:04 First play test06:36 fFx HDRP shader for the dash effect08:32 Add clouds09:40 Remove LODs, MicroSplat Trax is based on the last LOD11:50 Fine-tune Trax to make the tracks more noticableAssets used:* StampIT!

Stamping Terrain with Meadows from the StampIT! Collection Roland C 2022-05-27 | I created stamps for Meadows and put them on the Unity Asset Store. This video is a showcase about how to use them in combination with the awesome Meadow Environment from NatureManufacture. The vegetation got distributed using Vegetation Studio Pro.

Stamping Terrain with Canyons from the StampIT! Collection Roland C 2022-05-05 | I wanted to revisit a project of mine and needed a Canyon that I could paint on the terrain. In order to be flexible I created terrain stamps and thought I'd put them on the Unity Asset Store for others to benefit from. If you use them, please do share pics and videos of your work 😊The scene was created using the built-in render pipeline. MicroSplat was used for the terrain texturing. The ground is sand texture from R.A.M, the Canyon texture is from MicroSplat's Global Texturing module. Trax is used to show sand tracks. And Wind and Glitter was used for the flowing sand on the ground.In case you need gradients for the Canyons in combination with MicroSplat's Global Texturing, you can easily create those from pictures on the web with my free tool Gradient Picker.Assets used:* Canyons - StampIT!assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/canyons-stampit-220852?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=cs* MicroSplatassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/microsplat-96478?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ms* MicroSplat - Traxassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/microsplat-trax-166218?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ms_trax* MicroSplat - Global Texturingassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/microsplat-global-texturing-96482?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=gt* MicroSplat - Wind and Glitterassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/microsplat-wind-and-glitter-105627?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=wg* Gradient Pickerassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/gradient-picker-210950?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=gp* Dieselpunk Hovercraft 01 PBRassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/vehicles/dieselpunk-hovercraft-01-pbr-65872?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=dieselpunk_hovercraft* GIANT WORM BOSS CHARACTERassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/creatures/giant-worm-boss-character-42914?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=giant_worm* Obi Ropeassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/physics/obi-rope-55579?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=obi_rope* AnimationPreviewgithub.com/Roland09/AnimationPreview* Enviro - Sky and Weatherassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/particles-effects/enviro-sky-and-weather-33963?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=enviro* R.A.M 2019 - River Auto Material 2019assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/r-a-m-2019-river-auto-material-2019-145937?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ram(for the desert texture)* ArcReactor Rays Generatorassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/particles-effects/arcreactor-rays-generator-18445?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=arcreactor* Unity Particle Packassetstore.unity.com/packages/essentials/tutorial-projects/unity-particle-pack-127325?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=particle_pack* Soniss Sound Effects Librariessonniss.com/gameaudiogdc2020
Super Hero and Dragons in UE5s City Sample Roland C 2022-04-29 | I hope I'm not overdoing this, but I thought I'd combine the previous two projects, i. e. the one with the dragons and the one with the super hero.Maybe I should make the dragons come out of a portal from the Valley of the Ancients and move into the City. And also let the super hero fly through the portal into the Valley of the Ancients. Could be fun 😁 and definitely a good learning experience.In case anyone knows good sound assets for the super hero, please let me know in the comments.

Flying as Super Hero in UE5s City Sample Roland C 2022-04-27 | Day 2 of my Unreal Engine 5 exploration. I purchased "Superhero Flight Animations" recently from the UE marketplace. It comes with a controller. Being new to UE was a bit hard to figure out why I couldn't transfer the asset from the marketplace project to the City Sample, but the publisher helped me, so that's a big plus for the asset. You really should check out that asset, it's awesome. This video consists of only 2 assets: Epic's UE5 City Sample and Superhero Flight Animations.The character is the UE5 Mannequin. I just tinted it a bit red. All in all this was an awesome experience. It's a blast to fly around in such a huge city.I guess what should come next is audio and more visual effects. I do hope that the publisher will add those so that everyone can benefit from it 😁Assets used:* Superhero Flight Animationsunrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/superhero-flight-animations* City Sampleunrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/city-sample
Creating a Scene with Rugged Rocks Roland C 2022-04-27 | I released the Rugged Rocks asset of my StampIT! Collection last week and thought I'd show an example using it. The terrain setup was so quick, so I extended the scene with more features.Initially I stamp heightmaps of my Rugged Rocks asset to shape the terrain. Then terrain textures with rocks and snow are applied. Those were created from substances using the Substance plugin. You should really try it, it's quite good.The snow texture is applied using a slope mask. The mask feature comes with the Unity Terrain Tools you can install via Package Manager.The character is Drake the Dragonkin, one of my current favorites. It's versatile, has biped and quadruped movement, has plenty of animations, looks exciting and you can quickly explore large terrains using the super dash function when you fly. Then I added MicroSplat features:Dynamic Snow as well as Wind and Glitter was added to get terrain dynamics into the scene. I could have added Stochastic Texture Cluster mode in order to get rid of the repetitive terrain tiling, but with the snow I didn't feel the necessity for it currently. With less snow it would definitely be an excellent option. The Drake should leave foot prints in the snow, so I added Trax. One thing to keep in mind is that Trax works only on the last LOD in case of a LOD group. So I removed all LODs.In my video I still use FreeLookCameraRig from the Animal Controller. Please note that Malbers moved on to Cinemachine which is way superior, you get e. g. tunnel-effect while dashing during flight. The Drake demo scene is set up this way. I should use that in the next video.And finally I added my own tool Photo Session in order to make screenshots.If you have questions, feel free to ask.Assets used:* Rugged Rocks - StampIT!assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/rugged-rocks-stampit-219763?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=rugged* Drake the Dragonkinassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/creatures/drake-the-dragonkin-203692?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=drake* Animal Controllerassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/animal-controller-148877?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ac* MicroSplat - Wind and Glitterassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/microsplat-wind-and-glitter-105627?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=mswg* MicroSplat - Traxassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/microsplat-trax-166218?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=trax* MicroSplat - Dynamic Snowassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/microsplat-dynamic-snow-96486?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=mssnow* Substance 3D for Unity (BETA)assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/substance-3d-for-unity-beta-213208?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=sub* Free Snow Materials - Substance Designer by Serif Cancubebrush.co/serifcan/products/i4rkjq/free-snow-materials-substance-designer* Eroded Volcanic Rocksubstance3d.adobe.com/assets/allassets/2b71f6fec70c10737bd6ba57765e3aafa87fa57a* Photo Sessionforum.unity.com/threads/free-photo-session-ingame-precision-screenshot-utility-open-source-github.1076252* Terrain Toolsdocs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.terrain-tools@4.0/manual/index.html
Setting up a Desert Scene in 4 Minutes Roland C 2022-04-21 | I released my first assets last week, among them Desert & Dunes Terrain Stamps. I thought I'd quickly show how to use them. While at it I thought I'd also emphasize the underrated Substance plugin. You should definitely check it out. The video shows color changes, but with a proper Substance file you can get even more settings at your disposal. It's super helpful for setting up textures on a terrain, especially since the changes in the Unity Inspector become almost instantly visible. And besides of those I also show how to quickly get rid of Terrain tiling and add Wind using one of my favorite assets MicroSplat.Something I wish Unity would add by default to the directional light is the Light Anchor. It's so super helpful and built in.Assets used:* Desert & Dunes - StampIT!assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/desert-dunes-stampit-219815?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ddsi* MicroSplat - Texture Clustersassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/microsplat-texture-clusters-104223?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=mstcMicroSplat - Wind and Glitterassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/microsplat-wind-and-glitter-105627?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=mswg* Substance 3D for Unity (BETA)assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/substance-3d-for-unity-beta-213208?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=sub* Stylized Sand Uniform by Robert Myśliwskisubstance3d.adobe.com/community-assets/assets/2fc8075c17fff494e54480cb9f45c7269ac6c044
Dragons in the UE5 City Sample Roland C 2022-04-18 | Malbers released the Drake for the Unreal Engine yesterday. Since I really enjoyed toying around with that asset in Unity I couldn't resist. I installed Unreal Engine 5 and gave it a try today.I needed an environment. I played the UE5 Matrix demo on Playstation some time ago, so I thought why not combine those assets. Let's see how that turns out. I have to say: My mind is blown. Performance is excellent, graphics is top, see for yourself.It was my first try today with the UE5. It's similar to Unity, yet quite different. Both have their own feature set. I have to say I enjoy them both and I'll definitely dig deeper into the UE since a vast landscape, in this video a vast town with such high fidelity graphics is just plain joy 😁Assets used:* City Sampleunrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/city-sample* Drake the Dragonkinunrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/drake-the-dragonkin* Irval the Wyvernunrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/irval-the-wyvern
Drake the Dragonkin in Dragon Land Roland C 2022-04-17 | Malbers release his new asset Drake the Dragonkin last week. I was one of the lucky few to participate in the beta. Some of the screenshots and video sequences you see in the Asset Store description were done by me. Today I was toying around with Rayfire and how the Drake could dash through rocks and thought why not make a quick overall gameplay video while the asset is on release sale. It's totally worth having, I've had so much fun with it 😁 This video is just me playing around in the scenery I created during the beta.To give a quick summary of the scene: The animations and controls come out of the box with Drake and Animal Controller. The sand and pillars are from Castle Valley. The terrain itself was created with World Creator and stamped on the Unity terrain. By the way, I released a few terrain stamping assets this week in case you'd like to use them. The ocean is Creat Ocean. It has an awesome new addtion called Interaction Sphere with which you can easily interact with the water. The foot and tail interaction with the terrain is Microsplat Trax. I also used Microsplat's stochastic texture cluster mode for eliminating the terrain texture tiling. And Microsplat wetness to make the terrain under the shorelines appear wet. The shorelines is another awesome feature of Crest by the way. The huge skeletons are from Skulls & Bones by Jonas Ronnegard. The epic music was created by Sky Mubs. The explosion VFX was created by Thomas Iché.The other characters are Irval the Wyvern, the big one is the Drake asset again. This time with a different skin that comes with the asset. I removed the wings and adjusted the blend shapes and scale a bit. A bit much 😁All in all this was a most awesome and exciting time to be in a beta. So many possibilities. You can check out the Drake's Asset Store site to see more of him, e. g. integrated in The Book of the Dead or additional animations like strafing and a lot more.Assets used:* Drake the Dragonkinassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/creatures/drake-the-dragonkin-203692?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=drake* Irval the Wyvernassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/creatures/irval-the-wyvern-136677?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=irval* Animal Controllerassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/animal-controller-148877?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ac* Castle Valley Collection 1assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/landscapes/castle-valley-collection-1-165032?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=cv* Terraced Cliffsassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/terraced-cliffs-stampit-collection-218242?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=tc* MicroSplat - Ultimate Bundleassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/microsplat-ultimate-bundle-180948?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=msub* Crest Ocean System HDRPassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/particles-effects/crest-ocean-system-hdrp-164158?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=crest_hdrp* RayFire for Unityassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/game-toolkits/rayfire-for-unity-148690?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=rf* Skulls & Bonesartstation.com/marketplace/p/6kY7/kitbash-imm-skulls-bones-vol-1* World Creatorworld-creator.com* Music: Sky Mubs - The Braveryyoutube.com/watch?v=kiVYEdK2zDUWebsite: sky-mubs.comSky Mub's social links:• Youtube : youtube.com/user/skymubs• Facebook : facebook.com/skymubs• SoundCloud : soundcloud.com/sky-mubs• Twitter : twitter.com/SkyMubs• Itunes : apple.co/2Pb6JWv• Spotify : https://spoti.fi/2vFc9RJ• Amazon : amzn.to/2Bl3rNU• Website : sky-mubs.com• Email → skymubs@hotmail.comCheck it out, the music is epic
Abandoned Factory - Placing Assets with YAPP Roland C 2022-04-14 | The Messy Coder reviewed the asset "[HDRP] Abandoned Factory Buildings - Day/Night Scene" recently:youtube.com/watch?v=yqoPpJkt2xsExcellent review, check it out. When I saw it I thought an abandoned factory would be an ideal location to place random stuff with YAPP, my free prefab painter for Unity. I had to try, the video is the result of this. Please keep in mind that I removed gameobjects from the demo scene in order to just place them again. The asset itself is awesome the way it is already. I was thinking about what could I put in there in addition? First I thought of some Zombie game, but since I toyed around with the exciting Malbers Drake recently I just used the Drake's mechanism and swapped it with a Mech. I wanted to see how it looks and feels.This short video definitely begs for a follow-up which will come. I have to say I'm super impressed with the Abandoned Factory asset. It does look good. Really good.Assets used:* [HDRP] Abandoned Factory Buildings - Day/Night Sceneassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/urban/hdrp-abandoned-factory-buildings-day-night-scene-164492?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=af&utm_source=aff* Sci-Fi Character 010 (Omar And Defender)assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/humanoids/sci-fi/sci-fi-character-010-omar-and-defender-216926?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=def&utm_source=aff* Animal Controllerassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/animal-controller-148877?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ac&utm_source=aff* Drake the Dragonkinassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/creatures/drake-the-dragonkin-203692?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=drake&utm_source=aff* YAPP - Yet Another Prefab Painterforum.unity.com/threads/free-yapp-yet-another-prefab-painter-open-source-github.782483
YAPP Update - Distribute an Orc Army quickly Roland C 2022-03-27 | I made an update to YAPP. I'd like to explore the Big Environment asset some more and wanted to distribute a huge Orc Army. Automatisms are always of preference in favor of saving precious spare time, so I extend YAPP to support also a Humanoid preset and -180 .. 180 degree rotation instead 0f 0 .. 360. The humanoids of the army need to look in the spline direction and rotate from -45 to 45 degree instead of 0..45 plus 315..360. This video shows its usage.Installation information and discussion:forum.unity.com/threads/free-yapp-yet-another-prefab-painter-open-source-github.782483The black & white view in play mode is just something I'm experimenting with. I like the look, it has a certain vibe 😊
QuickNav - Navigation History and Favorites for Unity Roland C 2022-03-27 | Unity doesn't support navigation history or favorites on an object level. So I created my own.

Exploring Big Environment Pack Reforged as Dragon Fantasy Experiment Roland C 2022-03-20 | This week an asset re-surfaced which didn't catch my attention until @The Messy Coder posted a review video of it: Big Environment Pack Reforged. The review video:youtube.com/watch?v=rbCNxa9B8rkAfter watching the video I had to purchase it. I have to admit it's very awesome. It deserves a lot more attention, especially for the introductory sales price of -50%. Naturally I had to add dragons to this exciting fantasy environment. By the way, what you see isn't all of the asset, there's a lot more available with it.I thought I'd make a quick showcase video to see how the atmosphere works. It looks great in my opinion. So you can expect more videos in this environment in the future. It's the first time I really wanted to add mutliple dragons, Orcs, Trolls and what not. The characters are rather static in this showcase because I only had the morning to set it all up. Too little spare time, I need more 😁Irval with the Undead Knight was a perfect fit. However when I was flying above the terrain the texture tiling became very noticable. That's not a problem anymore since there's the Stochastic Texture Cluster mode of MicroSplat. And while I was at it, adding Trax for the Dragon tracks in the sand and a little bit of height with POM (Parallax Occlusion Mapping) were just clicks and easy to add.However the scene deserved just more, so I added L.V.E. in addition just to see how the combined atmosphere looks. And I really like Crest, so I added the Standard version in order to get shore lines along the terrain.All in all Big Environment Pack Reforged is an asset that's very exciting with lots of possibilities. I adjusted the post processing settings and the workflow a bit to make it not look that flat. Most notably I changed the color grading mode from Neutral to ACES. Neutral would be fine as well, but for this scene I thought I'd experiment a bit.Assets used:* Big Environment Pack Reforgedassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/big-environment-pack-reforged-210354?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=bep&utm_source=aff* Irval the Wyvernassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/creatures/irval-the-wyvern-136677?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=irval* Undead Horse & Knightassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/animals/undead-horse-knight-169073?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=undead_horse* Horse Animset Pro (Riding System)assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/animals/horse-animset-pro-riding-system-79902?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=hap* 14 Characters Orcs (Pack)assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/humanoids/fantasy/14-characters-orcs-pack-108138?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=orcs&utm_source=aff* MicroSplatassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/microsplat-96478?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ms* MicroSplat - Traxassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/microsplat-trax-166218?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ms_trax* MicroSplat - Tessellation and Parallaxassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/microsplat-tessellation-and-parallax-96484?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ms_tessellation* L.V.E - Lava & Volcano Environmentassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/l-v-e-lava-volcano-environment-112703?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=lve* Crestgithub.com/wave-harmonic/crest* YAPP - Yet Another Prefab Paintergithub.com/Roland09/PrefabPainter* Photo Sessiongithub.com/Roland09/PhotoSession
Book of the Dead - First Person View Roland C 2022-02-06 | I purchased Survival Template Pro this week. It's really awesome and super easy to set up. However it's for Standard Pipeline only so far, but I wanted to see how it looks in HDRP. So I manually up-converted it to HDRP. And since I still had the BotD project with the Wolf, I thought I'd re-use that one.Survival Template Pro is one of the best assets I've come across recently. Price is way too cheap for 40$. It has so many features, just check the videos in the Asset Store description. What you see there is what you get.So I guess this is only the first one with that asset, more will definitely follow. It's so much fun to toy around with it 😁Assets used:* (STP) Survival Template PROassetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/stp-survival-template-pro-207954?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=stp* Fluffy Grooming Tool by Daniel Zellerassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/modeling/fluffy-grooming-tool-193828?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=fluffy* Realistic Wolfassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/animals/realistic-wolf-190336?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=wolf* Irval the Wyvernassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/creatures/irval-the-wyvern-136677?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=irval* Book Of The Dead: Environmentassetstore.unity.com/packages/essentials/tutorial-projects/book-of-the-dead-environment-121175?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=book_of_the_dead* Animal Controllerassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/animal-controller-148877?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ac* FontainebleauDemogithub.com/Unity-Technologies/FontainebleauDemo* Survival Animset Pro vol.1assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/animations/survival-animset-pro-vol-1-112577?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=kbld
Checking HDRP Visuals with Mountain Biking in Mountain Environment Roland C 2022-01-30 | As a follow-up to the previous video I thought I'd put the Simple Bike Physics asset into Mountain Environment.

Simple Bicycle Physics Extensions - Usage Example Roland C 2022-01-30 | I purchased Simple Bicycle Physics yesterday. I really like it, but there's one thing missing: A wizard that maps the rig bones to ik targets. I may do this once or twice manually, but if it's more I prefer code. So I wrote an extension that does that automatically. It supports Mixamo, Character Creator 3, Character Creator 3 (Game Base) so far. It should be easily extensible. This video shows how to use that extension. You can see, the setup of new characters is pretty much straightforward and fast.One thing I didn't figure out yet is why one character's y position is higher than anothers. I guess it got something to do with the pivot point. I'm gonna inform the publisher about that, it should be fixable.Forum support thread:forum.unity.com/threads/free-simple-bicycle-physics-extensions-open-source-github.1232502Assets used:* Simple Bicycle Physicsassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/physics/simple-bicycle-physics-206818?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=sbp&utm_source=aff* Simple Bicycle Physics Extensionsgithub.com/Roland09/SimpleBicyclePhysicsExtensions
Book of the Dead Environment - Revisited Roland C 2022-01-25 | It's been years since I touched The Book of the Dead from Unity. Recently it got removed by Unity from their Asset Store, which is unfortunate. It's one of the best assets they gave us for free in my opinion. It never got upgraded to anything above Unity 2018. So I thought I'd try that on my own and have a Fluffy Wolf roam through it 😊What didn't work though was the wind. Luckily I purchased KWS Water System some time ago. And it turned out that Kripto actually converted the whole Book of the Dead and in addition to that added a shader for wind, which is awesome. So I used that one. I wanted to do it from scratch - apart from the wind shader, but Kripto has the whole BotD as demo in his asset, so you may as well use that one if you purchased his asset.All in all I really hope Unity will re-add this awesome asset for everyone to their store.Assets used:* Fluffy Grooming Tool by Daniel Zellerassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/modeling/fluffy-grooming-tool-193828?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=fluffy* Realistic Wolfassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/animals/realistic-wolf-190336?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=wolf* Irval the Wyvernassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/creatures/irval-the-wyvern-136677?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=irval* Book Of The Dead: Environmentassetstore.unity.com/packages/essentials/tutorial-projects/book-of-the-dead-environment-121175?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=book_of_the_dead* Animal Controllerassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/animal-controller-148877?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ac* FontainebleauDemogithub.com/Unity-Technologies/FontainebleauDemo* Survival Animset Pro vol.1assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/animations/survival-animset-pro-vol-1-112577?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=kbld
Fluffy Grooming Tool is addictive! Roland C 2022-01-15 | I thought I'd toy around with Fluffy Grooming Tool today and needed an asset to groom. So I checked out the free Realtime Rascals for Unity.I have to say, Fluffy is not only for making furry assets in a game. It's just so much fun to play with it and groom around. It's very easy to use, very versatile and with really nice results.

Follow-up to previous video: Refraction Roland C 2022-01-03 | I'm super impressed by the love to detail of the asset.

PixelBEEping ArchViz Interior Roland C 2022-01-03 | Checking out ArchVizPRO Interior Vol. 8 on a pixel-peeping basis. Just flying around slowly with a Bee and taking a good look at the models and textures. It's quite impressive what the ArchVizPro guys deliver here. Please note that the lighting is mine, if you want to see the original that comes with the asset, please look at the video in the asset store description.I also thought I'd add the Fluffy-fied Wolf that I used in the previous videos.The Bee was taken from the 3D-Viewer that comes with Windows 10. I attached it to the Little Dragon model from Malbers and replaced the Model with it.I modified the lighting and the reflections a bit. Most of all Global Illumination does Wonders in HDRP.And I thought I'd spare everyone the humming Bee sound while watching, so there's no audio 😁Assets used:* ArchVizPRO Interior Vol.8assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/urban/archvizpro-interior-vol-8-199367?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=avp8* Fluffy Grooming Tool by Daniel Zellerassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/modeling/fluffy-grooming-tool-193828?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=fluffy* Realistic Wolfassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/animals/realistic-wolf-190336?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=wolf* Animal Controllerassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/animal-controller-148877?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ac* Little Dragons: Tiger (model got replaced with a Bee)assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/creatures/little-dragons-tiger-64248?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ldt* Bee from 3D-Viewer for Windows 10
Gradient Picker for Unity Roland C 2022-01-02 | I really like how World Creator 3 can pick gradients directly within the application.

Desert Fighter on Bug Planet - Result of experimenting with Unitys Animator Controller Roland C 2021-12-19 | I wanted to toy around with a few assets. The awesome Castle Valley will get an update soon and so I asked the publisher if I could get an early version. He was so kind to give it to me. And Maksim Bugrimov gifted me his Sci-Fi Character. Then one thing led to the other. I added the Protofactor Inc assets of the Sci-Fi Characters Mega Pack and some particle effects. Malbers added a few updates to his Animal Controller. One being the climbing feature and the other showing particles on double and triple jump.Well, I couldn't stop there. With my Animation Preview tool I picked the animations for the aliens and they just weren't anything without sound. So I wrote a few simple scripts that play sound when a node of an Animator Controller is being played. It didn't end there either, I wanted some camera shaking when the big alien stomps on the ground. Malbers mentioned I should use Cinemachine Impulse with his double and triple jump. So the same technique got applied to the stomping alien.Of course being a desert I wanted to see tracks. I added Microsplat Tesselation's POM and then Microsplat Trax.For the effects I used Unity's free Particle Pack. The aliens were distributed using YAPP. The AI is simply NavMesh with NavMesh Agent. Nothing special.You can consider this episode one of a few videos I'm going to make. It was so much fun, I'd like to explore it more.The project was created in Standard Pipeline.Assets used:* Castle Valley Collection 1assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/landscapes/castle-valley-collection-1-165032?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=cv&utm_source=aff* Animal Controllerassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/animal-controller-148877?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ac* SCI FI CHARACTERS MEGA PACK VOL 2assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/sci-fi-characters-mega-pack-vol-2-186888?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=sfmp&utm_source=affSci-Fi Character 05 (Crow)assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/humanoids/sci-fi/sci-fi-character-05-crow-197059?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=sfc&utm_source=aff* Unity Particle Packassetstore.unity.com/packages/essentials/tutorial-projects/unity-particle-pack-127325?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=sfc&utm_source=aff* MicroSplat - Ultimate Bundleassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/microsplat-ultimate-bundle-180948?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=msub&utm_source=aff* Monster Sounds Packassetstore.unity.com/packages/audio/sound-fx/creatures/monster-sounds-pack-176744?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=cafofo&utm_source=aff* Photo Sessionforum.unity.com/threads/free-photo-session-ingame-precision-screenshot-utility-open-source-github.1076252* Animation Previewforum.unity.com/threads/free-animation-preview-preview-animations-in-the-unity-editor-open-source-github.1012012* YAPPforum.unity.com/threads/free-yapp-yet-another-prefab-painter-open-source-github.782483Music used:* Epicness Cinematic Dramatic Trailer (Creative Commons) by Roman Senyk Musicyoutube.com/watch?v=RB5UtRZBihcSounds used:* SONNISS Archive: GameAudioGDCsonniss.com/gameaudiogdc * Sounds by GojiS.O.S. fromfreesound.org* Sounds cylon8472 fromfreesound.org* Sounds by jongrubbs fromfreesound.org
Follow-Up to yesterdays Wolf video, now with Cinemachines Shaky Cam Roland C 2021-12-12 | I really like what you can achieve with just a few AAA assets from the Unity Asset Store.

Fluffy Malbers Wolf in ArchViz Pro Vol. 5 Roland C 2021-12-11 | The very nice ArchVizPRO guys saw my video that I created with the Fluffy-fied Malbers Raccoons in combination with their asset and offered me a gift. I got to choose one of their other assets. I wanted to do another Fluffy video, but this time with the Malbers Wolf, so the choice was easy: One with a snowy ambience. In addition to that the guys at Unity posted a link to my Raccoon video on their facebook page, which is quite an honour:facebook.com/AssetStoreAnd this is very exciting for me, so thank you very!!! 😊 One thing I'd like to mention though is that all credit belongs to the awesome Asset developers and their excellent, top rated assets. I only combine those. Same as this one. It's like playing with Lego for me. This morning I thought I'd install the Unity Beta of 2022.1 which came out today and try out the assets. So this is a quickly drafted up gameplay which I wanted to see how it looks, i. e. exploring the interior of this beautiful ArchVizPRO asset with a Fluffy Wolf. By the way, Fluffy Grooming Tool is most awesome. I toyed around with it this week. It's not only for creating games, it's so much fun to just groom hair on any virtual animal. I should do another vid with it 😁Assets used:* Fluffy Grooming Tool by Daniel Zellerassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/modeling/fluffy-grooming-tool-193828?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=fluffy* Realistic Wolfassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/animals/realistic-wolf-190336?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=wolf* ArchVizPRO Interior Vol.5 HDRPassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/urban/archvizpro-interior-vol-5-hdrp-180941?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=av5* Animal Controllerassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/animal-controller-148877?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ac* Photo Sessionforum.unity.com/threads/free-photo-session-ingame-precision-screenshot-utility-open-source-github.1076252* Fire Soundsoundjay.com/fire-sound-effects.html
Environmental showcase with Dwarfs, Troll, Orc and a Dragon Roland C 2021-12-05 | The Unity sale ended today and I thought about what to purchase. It turned out that the Kubold animations are most awesome. I spent the morning buying one Kubold asset after the other and testing them with the AnimationPreview I posted yesterday. They were all so exciting that I purchased all that were on sale. I don't have a controller configured with them yet, but I thought about using the animations for NPCs for a showcase. The scene is set up pretty much quickly. The player is controlled using the Malbers AC, the NPC Dwarfs, Orc and Troll each got a custom controller assigned which uses selected Kubold animations. I also added MicroSplat Tessellation's POM in order to make the gravel look less flat.And while I was at it I also added the Malbers Wolf, Ravens and Rabbits. Because why not 😁Next thing is make them fight each other. I have to find a good asset for that first.Assets used:* Dwarfs Packassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/humanoids/fantasy/dwarfs-pack-185914?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=dp&utm_source=aff* RPG Fantasy (Pack)assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/humanoids/fantasy/rpg-fantasy-pack-47749?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=rpg&utm_source=aff* Survival Animset Pro vol.1assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/animations/survival-animset-pro-vol-1-112577?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=kub&utm_source=aff* Sword Animset Proassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/animations/sword-animset-pro-38302?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=kub&utm_source=aff* Mountain Environment - Dynamic Natureassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/vegetation/mountain-environment-dynamic-nature-191851?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=medn&utm_source=aff* Irval the Wyvernassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/creatures/irval-the-wyvern-136677&pubref=irval&utm_source=aff* Horse Animset Pro (Riding System)assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/animals/horse-animset-pro-riding-system-79902?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=hap&utm_source=aff* Realistic Wolfassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/animals/realistic-wolf-190336?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=wolf&utm_source=aff* Ravens and Crowsassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/animals/birds/ravens-and-crows-121424?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=rav&utm_source=aff* Realistic Rabbitsassetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/animals/realistic-rabbits-116401?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=rab&utm_source=aff* MicroSplatassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/microsplat-96478?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ms* MicroSplat - Tessellation and Parallaxassetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/microsplat-texture-clusters-104223?aid=1011lfvh6&pubref=ms_tessellationMusic used:* Epic Cinematic Dramatic Adventure Trailer (Creative Commons) - Roman Senyk Musicyoutube.com/watch?v=c-XpTMGPQvIHere's also his Patreon link, check out his music, it's most awesome.Patreon: http://bit.ly/2JJDFHb
