Wow, very cool. Over the many years I've known you in the DB community your modeling and texturing skills have improved drastically. Great stuff.

Well, I'm using morph targets for this one(the others used bones and low-poly cylinders). Only practical in this specific case, it's also kinda slow, so it'll only be used in cutscenes when nothing else is going on(the forest spirit will only appear briefly in a cutscene, it won't appearing during gameplay so to say). So this is not something you'll see on the other in-game models.

I haven't been working on soulhunter during the holidays, but I did some work yesterday rigging the forest spirit for animation and today I began composing the final level.

Very nice game.

What software did you use for making the levels, the models and the texture?

Levels with magic world + some tweaks of my own, models done in 3ds max and textures done mostly in photoshop.

Small update:


Btw, I started and finished a new dialogue system today. It displays a dialogue word-by-word, oldschool!

Every time I check up on this project I'm more and more amazed! Keep it up! Can't wait for the next update. I'd have to say that this is easily the most interesting project on the forums right now.

Much better!

I can sort of see how the game will come together now, and still feel like a complete game with only a few levels.

Man, it is going to be super hard to catch up to you (in terms of quality and all in DBC games)! I probably can't regardless, you're a far better programmer. I spent way to much time not working on my game.

Still, I shall try!

Wow, this is truly turning out to be a money-worthy game. There aren't many of those here. I played this when you put out the first beta release and was impressed even then, but now... I don't even know what to say Congratulations!

@Mazz426: Thanks!

By the way, I'm currently trying shapeways.com out.
It's a site were you can print your 3d models.
I'm thinking of printing the soulhunter model. I just
hope that old model's geometry isn't to messy for the
poor printer. Does anyone have any experience
with shapeways.com?

No but i'd recommend looking at the pixologic forums as they have a lot of example sites, and to be honest I've never heard of shapeways, wait till I get back to my computer and I'll give you a link to a good reliable site

I'd like to know this as well as I've been looking into printing models out lately.

About $50. This material(the only material supporting full colour, ie. texture maps)

As usual, the only updates I have to show you are spoilers. Small update on what I worked on yesterday and today.
Part of cutscene animated gif (spoiler!)
Part of cutscene(spoiler!)

Also, right before the boss fight, the spirit temple is going to fall apart.
To make this look as good as possible, I'm going to use the reactor plugin in max:
Temple destruction(wip)
I'll then export is as a standard keyframe animation.

Yep, it really is! It's so cool to see your creations irl. I highly recommend it!
---------------------------
Anyway, my nvidia graphics card died a couple of days ago(may have had something to do with that faulty driver they released).
So I bought a new card, an ATI card. It's a great card except that it gives me z-fighting issues in DBC. This didn't happen with my nvidia card, so I guess it has something to do with the ATI card running DBC games with a lower res z-buffer? Does anyone have any experience with this? Is there any way to change the resolution of the z-buffer?
I know that one solution is to decrease the camera's far/near ratio, but I guess this would be kinda painful(for me) to do in an almost complete game(changing all sizes, distances, etc).
Or I could always "cut away" the intersecting polygons where possible. :/ I'm a little puzzled how my previous card could render with a higher res z-buffer.
EDIT: Would it be possible to write a dll that changes the z-buffer to 24bit?
EDIT2: Solved it! I had only tried decreasing the camera's far value, but I learned that increasing the near value has a bigger impact. This thread kinda gave me a hint. So I changed the near value from 1 to 10. Hope this helps someone else as well!
And this concludes my wall of text of noobishness.
