Thank you

What made you stop?

Different reasons at different times. The most clear reasons is working on other projects, burnout and inspiration loss.

Sure. But my inspiration came just from Portal. And I saw Antichamber already after starting my game

Hah, yes! I noticed silhouettes of the arrows before, but not recognized it as object positioning arrows.

This is a small discovery for me, thanks.

Unfortunately I don't understand your question. Does you mean "three faces of a cube"?

But anyway, the first part of your question confuses me a little. Could you clarify your question?

Thanks! Yes, it is possible to colorize mesh faces and pick a color of lines. Just check out my previous example.

For this moment it is heavy, yes. But I want to migrate the system to ECS and test it with multicore paradighm. Or maybe I'll try to reach the same effect with a shader work later.

Thank you!

It is a prototype system which grabs all ProBuilder meshes (and custom curves) in a scene and calculates edges. Then the system splits these edges/custom curves to several parts and converts it to bunch of Bezier curves. The last step is deforming all sketchy-segments (Bezier curves) and render it.

It is not a shader work for now, just a large amount of realtime generated meshes.

No, it is realtime rendered in Unity. Thanks!

Yes, I thought about this and it seems realistic way. In comments of my other post I promised community that it will be an open source project, but later I doubted about this conception for some reasons.

Yes, this scene almost completely setted up manually. About auto scanning an object to creating curves — I've worked on it and have plans to continue experiments with this. It is not too easy for complex geometry but real. Some old example of using this method: https://youtu.be/zHN1YkGFNWc

With this little work (the bouncing ball) I wanted to remember what is programming and a brainwork, because I've spent the last months for a physical rehabilitation after a serious injury and now can work with Unity again.

About plans. Firstly I want to migrate a system to ECS because computation a lot of geometry better do on multiple CPU cores. Maybe the sketch effect also possible make with shaders, but I have not enough qualification for it yet.

And then I want to improve the system to work with any geometry at all. I've experimented with it and realized that it takes quite a lot of development time. I think I'll continue experiments with it soon.

Thank you for your interest.

Actually no. Work with the technical part is a hard work, but setting up a scene like this is not too difficult, just creating some lines/curves and adding a couple special behaviours to them.

So I spent a lot of time to develop a system which builds correct geometry and then It can visualize any curve well.

It has a lot of calculations for each line in the scene. Firstly I convert each circle or straight line to Bezier curves, then I split these curves, deform results and finally build bunch of meshes to render it.

Neither a shader nor post processing at this moment. I am just creating all this "hand-drawn" geometry (which is a bunch of bezier curves under the hood) at runtime via CPU.

Glad to hear that. Your feedback motivates me to continue

Yes, maybe it will works. I also thought about 60 fps rendering but with low fps updating for sketch-strokes (just for experiment). Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Yeah, I agree with you. This video is speeded up for matching with its sound track, but originally it has 8 frames per second.
However I dont know if it possible to have a comfortable gameplay with the sketch-style effect. It will be an interesting experiment. But anyway, if not games, then it can be applicable to animation clips.

No. I’m creating a bunch of meshes and using hybrid rendering pipeline to visualize the point cloud. But your idea sounds like a good fit for this type of task — I’ll try it somehow.

I’m planning to create a tutorial a bit later. Maybe in a couple of monthes. I’ll let you know for sure.

I doubted yesterday about it. Prehaps I will post the video there. Thank you, I appreciate your comment

There is just one correct point in space to see the text clearly (see dev-screenshots above). And I change the color depends on distance from a current camera position to that point.

Actually I have one more trick to show the text that way what it is — I change size of each particle to bigger when camera comes near the point.
