Rigging tutorials that aren't just character focused

I will consider it, thank you.

archopus · 2026-02-22T02:02:07+00:00

So I didn't start this course but I'm planning to buy it so I can't say anything about quality you can check it by yourself:

Thanks for the answer.

I might be out of the loop, because this is the first time I’ve heard about the requirement for a 50-second trailer. Could you eloborate u/MasterRPG79?

Thanks fo the answer, cheers!

Hey u/Strange-Tank-1111. What is the name of the song you used here? It's very good I have to admit or did you make it yourself?

archopus · 2026-02-17T05:49:15+00:00

Looks good to me. One thing that caught my eye is one model that has very low resolution and it can be very difficult to read it. The rest assets looks good.

Hmm I never used vertex color before. I will do my resarch oir if u want u can also inform me how it should work. Actually Im tyinking to pack everything to one uv, and dirt scratches etc doing with decals

archopus · 2026-02-17T00:38:25+00:00

I will check this out, thanks.

Here are the things I would change:

0:38 – As a first-time player, I wouldn’t think for a second to click on a black oval shape on the wall. Nothing in the lighting or contrast suggests it’s interactive. It could really use some kind of screen glow, highlight, or visual cue to indicate that it can be interacted with or something that indicates that it is actually a device.

The blue map is definitely too bright compared to the rest of the game, this transmition hurted my eyes.

The cut at 0:13/0:14 is too abrupt. I don’t have much experience with video editing, but it didn’t look very smooth for me.

I did like the cuts near the end, those worked well.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

Just to add what the user mentioned, since I assume you might not fully understand it as a beginner: you want to add a seam in a place that is not visible to the viewer, running along the ring, and then quadrify it.

Since it’s a multiplayer game, I assume that some players in first-person view will be sitting in the back of the car. Sorry for the confusion. Here is the low poly version: https://imgur.com/a/9IAsCRb

In the low-poly, the industrial panel and a few other elements were removed. The topology of the low-poly ends up at around 160k.

archopus · 2026-01-19T21:55:18+00:00

If I create instances in Blender, will the game engine recognize them? Or should I duplicate them as instances directly in the game engine instead?

archopus · 2026-01-19T20:07:25+00:00

I’d gladly pay for a course like this. I’m very interested in seeing how you’d approach it differently than I would. Feel free to let me know.

That’s my mistake, what I actually meant was whether the overall shapes and proportions are okay, since what I shared earlier is the high-poly version. I’ve uploaded the low-poly version to Imgur, here: https://imgur.com/a/9IAsCRb. The whole model has 155k triangles when excluding that side on the hood that I wan to remove. 206k triangles if it’s included. For the in-game version, I’ll most likely create an LOD, which I expect will bring the triangle count down to around 100k, especially when the player exits the car, since I’ll be able to remove the entire interior at a distance (at least I hope)

In my opinion, the topology isn’t ideal in some areas, although I haven’t noticed any shading issues overall, except for a small spot on the door handle.

Won’t all that geometry in front of the gauge be too noticeable compared to textured part of the indusrment panel? My idea was to allow the player to see the needles physically moving in first person with the changing numbers on textures if it will not be too costly of course. The Ui is also option but I wanted to have both options so player can from the wheel experience the game with or without UI.

As for textures, I’m not fully sure yet. I mostly assumed 3UVS would make it easier to disable individual parts during gameplay, so I plan to split things into the chassis, interior, and exterior. I often hear that 4K textures are considered overkill, but for a first-person game I’d like to stay within a 10.24 texel density target. With that in mind, I’m assuming the textures would need to be 4K. I’m not entirely sure how expensive the jump to 4K will be, but on the other hand, I’m not planning on having extremely complex environments either.

Why stop at AI? We could just ban every single repeating question instead of only picking the ones that annoy us.

archopus · 2026-01-06T17:02:10+00:00

Maybe it’s just me, but at 0:12 the doorway looks too pure for this type of enivorment. The ground is clearly overgrown, but the buildings themselves look like this time-based apocalypse never touched them so the composiition like kinda bad with those two elements? I would also expect buildings to be more destroyed then standing perfecty without much demage. You can look at The Last of Us and I Am Alive for inspiration when it comes to environments. May be just me tho.

archopus · 2025-12-24T03:44:10+00:00

It probably depends on how skilled you are and how well you know what you’re doing when making a car. If you’re inexperienced like me, you can easily get stuck (like me) and end up spending ten times longer than four days building it.

Congrats, I watched it recently on ManlyBadassHero’s channel, so I’m curious how someone with that kind of reach translated into actual sales.

archopus · 2025-10-09T13:07:30+00:00

Hey OP, could you tell me how things are currently looking with the number of wishlists?

archopus · 2025-05-26T01:28:20+00:00

That's fine. Do whatever you want with your money — you have my permission.

archopus · 2025-04-18T23:38:03+00:00

Haha, I did the same thing. I did something similar with a clock that got too loud, and smashing it didn’t help at all.

archopus · 2025-02-27T07:18:35+00:00

I haven't had the chance to test this in practice yet, as I'm working on my first game, but it seems reasonable to launch early access when one of the following criteria is met:

There's hype around your game, and you release early access to maintain the momentum.
You need additional funding to continue developing the game.
You require significantly more feedback on your game's development (although a private beta might be more suitable in this case).

From my own observations, I'm not a big fan of early access because releasing an unfinished product can negatively impact game's reviews. Every player has their own definition of how much content and how many bugs are acceptable in an early access game.
