The extra tilt looks so good!

For real though, I plan on redoing the normal (non-ball) model once I've got more Blender experience, but I might keep this one basically as-is, I love him

Phyoke @phyoke.bsky.social · 15d

Who wore it better?

The model for a video game pig curled into a ball, with no features showing, just a ball of pig.

The Majora's Mask N64 model for Link's goron form curled into a smushed ball.

Thanks!! 😁

Phyoke @phyoke.bsky.social · 16d

Yep, did that and made a separate new “ball” model for him, now he’s one with the schmoovent

HE ROLLS. Added a second model instead of just making him curl up. Wasn't sure how the model-swapping would look but with the "scrunch", "aerial unscrunch", and "idle unscrunch" animations, I think it looks pretty good!

Thank you!! 😊

Those are the real animation action names I went with btw

Screenshot from Blender showing the names of the animation actions used for entering and exiting the rolling state.

Haha thanks!

I've gotta add invisible horse lore somewhere in the game so I can leave the animation as-is

Phyoke @phyoke.bsky.social · 20d

Something's off about this dive-roll animation but I can't put my finger on it

When you finally collect the last golden bean

We have all the collectibles now! Talisman, moon token, and...golden coffee bean? What could they all be for? 👀

1. Model the thing
2. Render the thing to a PNG
3. Shrink the thing to size (64x64 for this one)
4. Repeat for all needed angles, then set the color depth to 16.

(this is for the HUD display, the actual item is 32x32 and uses half the animation frames)

Rendered output of the moon token model.

Screenshot from Krita with the moon token image having been shrunk down to 64x64.

A spritesheet of all the angles of the moon token, with the color depth being set to 16 colors.

Been having a lot of fun pretending I'm making Donkey Kong Country (turning 3D models into 2D sprites). I also updated the moon token colors to stand out from the background better.

Thanks! Me too 🐖

“a collectibles” 😔

Phyoke @phyoke.bsky.social · Sep 2

Still planning on finding or making a more appropriate (whimsical? idk) font, and animating the numbers to be slightly bouncing or something.

Phyoke @phyoke.bsky.social · Sep 2

One value shows when an item is picked up, always in the top-right, and hides after 3 seconds. All values show after being idle for 5 seconds, in a set order. If an item is picked up and then you go idle, it'll show, then slide into its place when all values show.

Phyoke @phyoke.bsky.social · Sep 2

Been cooking all weekend on a collectibles and a HUD! Only moon tokens are modeled so far, the others (and the font) are placeholders. Took a while to polish the single vs group sliding.

I’m a Godot boy with forced y up and I still think z is the true up axis

Thanks a lot!
