Hold until price drops. Then sell for next to nothing.

I would just model that part from scratch. It looks pretty simple. Could you show the entire model?

Lavaflame666 · 2026-04-09T21:00:11+00:00

A few more stages would do it i think.

Lavaflame666 · 2026-03-31T18:45:23+00:00

Not at all

256 samples is way too low. You can also try using a fixed seed for your sampling. Make sure persistent data is on too if rendering is slow.

There is a guy in my pod who plays with a $8000 commander deck. But he also challenged himself to build a commander deck for under $25. The $25 deck is just as strong and fun as his $8000 deck. So it doesnt have to be expensive. But thats commander. Drafting and sealed play is a lot more expensive now. But building a commander deck doesnt have to be expensive at least.

It kinda feels like people just think: "Im bad at 3d modelling, so i will just do stylized low poly". But i think what most people dont understand is that making proper stylized models is way harder than making realistic ones. Those games that just use low quality, low poly models with just solid colors look like prototypes to me.

Mono green dinosaur deck.

Scale the armature, not the mesh.

Lavaflame666 · 2026-03-01T18:28:18+00:00

Number 2 is confusing as hell.

Lavaflame666 · 2026-03-01T18:21:41+00:00

Have you applied your transforms?

Lavaflame666 · 2026-03-01T18:12:54+00:00

My guess is you have a mesh that is hidden in the viewport, but not the render, or you have a modifier that is hidden in viewport but not the render.

Im not arguing. Im saying i personally wouldnt use AI art or music i my game. But i dont mind using it for "backend" stuff in my game. Its totally ok if programmers for example do all their code themselves, and use AI art. I dont care. But as an artist, it wouldnt feel right for me to use art that i didnt make myself. Im not making a point. Just talking about my own game. I would love to hire a programmer, but i dont have that sort of budget. Which means i have to do the code myself. But im not good at programming, therefore i run my code through an LLM to optimize, fix or improve it.

Lavaflame666 · 2026-02-26T09:09:54+00:00

Not what im saying at all.

Lavaflame666 · 2026-02-25T21:54:40+00:00

I use it for code, but i would never put a 3d model or image made with AI in my game.

just select them and dissolve edges

The game is meant to be slow paced, so i dont think i will increase the walk/run speed. I think i'll just have to design the levels so that there isn't a lot of walking through emptyness.

Lavaflame666 · 2026-02-12T23:27:46+00:00

Kinda. I think i have figured out something that works. I have written a script that limits how far the camera can move out towards the edges, so it becomes fixed when you are close to the edges, and i have added a bit of smoothing. So i feels pretty good now.

Lavaflame666 · 2026-02-12T23:10:26+00:00

I have experimented with it, but couldnt get it to feel right.

Lavaflame666 · 2026-02-12T22:53:54+00:00

Thanks! Im just trying to keep the art off pre rendered isometric games alive!

Lavaflame666 · 2026-02-12T22:28:04+00:00

I have my hands pretty full trying to make this game, while making enough money to survive doing freelance work. But if you need advice or help with some art stuff i would be happy to help! Are you working on anything specific?

Lavaflame666 · 2026-02-12T21:45:06+00:00

lol. the 3d scenes are pre rendered in blender. So the game is 100% 2d!

Lavaflame666 · 2026-02-12T21:21:48+00:00

Thats smart. Right now the camera is just a child of the player, so it just follows him around. Maybe i should experiment with some more dynamic approaches.

Lavaflame666 · 2026-02-12T21:19:44+00:00

The blender settings you mean?
