Animation

The Animations in Blender

UNSUCCESSFUL

Was not very happy with the end result of my game level, did not turn out how i originally envisioned it at all which is unfortunate. I had my problems in unity and they were big enough that I did not allow myself enough time to fix them. No animation was a big one....really ruined the whole idea behind my level of toejam. the materials and bump map did not look at all how they had in blender, whether thats because i lot some of the quality or I could not get the lighting as effective could have been both. Overall I got it done with alot of minor hitches and was difficult to keep motivated with programs that piss you off! love blender but not unity....felt I was on track and doing well until it came to that. Never mind we learn from our mistakes....on to project 3.

Final



Final screenshots of level with materials and background and ground all intact, as well as lighting which I could not get same affect I had achieved in blender.

Problem 3....SCREWED

So can not get my animation into unity fullstop. neither can anyone else seem to figure it out...have no idea waht the problem but basically my level is screwed now. not at all happy. will have to remember to add a video of it working in blender so u can at least see it there.

Problem 2

Texture, turns out theres no way I can get those textures out of blender and into unity...welll no way i or anyone else i've talked to knows about! so am doing it the long way. taking screenshots of the materials in blender both colours and bump maps, openeing and editing in photoshop then reimporting into unity and having to reapply each colour and bump map to each foot etc. big mission and turns out I would have wasted alot of time in blender applying alll those textures in the first place

Problem 1

My base. Went back into blender to see what was going on, for some reason the texture is showing up on the bottom not the top, have tried to fix this and double sided is on. no luck. Gave up and added aterrain in unity....didn't work out exactly as i hoped but does the job....bit too much terrain tho.
