@ryanarata361 3 года назад

Hey, really great video! How do you keep your performance so good with so many high res gameobjects in your scene?

@TheCaecus1 3 года назад

I mean one picture is 2048x2048 which is kinda the standard for many textures in 3d games so its not that expensive on performance. Another thing is that one pic has multiple rocks on it, so its technically loading one texture for like 8 different rocks instead of one per rock. 2D is really nice for performance in general compared to 3D since you dont have many polygons, light calculations and stuff so you can put as many game objects as you want and it still runs fine

@athaneum 3 года назад

Awesome. Thank you! By the way, how do you make the trees and grass moves like it’s windy or the character walking over them? Is that a shader?

@TheCaecus1 3 года назад

I dont know how to make shaders XD. For trees i use a simple Sinus Script that just wiggles the tree parts a little bit over time, i think i mentioned it in Devlog 2 for Mendacium. The grass is just a animation which is played when the player walks over it (but i guess its more optimized with the shader if you know how to make it). Thanks for pointing that out since there are a lot of small things like these, so maybe i will do a tips and tricks video in the future compiling all of these little hacks. :)

Hi Caecus thank you for this informative video your art is great! Can I ask @1:32 not sure what you did here in order to colour over the sketch, ur clearly not painting on the sketch layer it seems that you are using a mask to reveal the colour below the sketch and having the sketch show through, hope that makes sense could you just explain how you are using the mask to colour in the stones? thank you. and hope to see more vids! new sub btw:)

@TheCaecus1 2 года назад

yep you are right i already drew the siluette for the rocks and then i was just painting on the mask to show it because i had some problems when i was recording the video xd. In that step you should just make a new layer, make sure that the sketch layer is on top of it and then just color in the stones. Sorry for the confusion hope this clears it up a little :)

i subscribed when you said "if ur feeling like a mad lab" was really helpful. am learning how to do handdrawn art. any tips.

@TheCaecus1 3 года назад

Thanks for the sub! My tip would be to practice shading first, since its kinda the most important part of drawing. Start with spheres and round objects and slowly move on to the more complex shapes with faces. To easily add more detail and complexity to your art assets, combine multiple shapes. For this try to study Hollow Knight art, since i think they really utilized this the most. Every object it that game consists of multiple parts and 99% of these little parts are shaded like round objects. Good luck :)

Cool tutorial thanks, wait, are you working with a palette or just picking nice colours you feel look good? They do look good... but just wondering?

@TheCaecus1 2 года назад

Im not good at picking colors really so most of the time i work with black, white and gray and then pick the colors later. For this i accidentally tried these 2 brown/yellowish colors and it turned out good so i saved it so that i can reuse it. But yeah, im not putting that much thought into it, i just try some combinations and if it looks good i go with it.

@thenunujournals 3 года назад

What size is your canvas? Also what settings do you use for this? RBG, CMYK etc

@TheCaecus1 3 года назад

Im usually working with 2048x2048 canvas for things like these rocks, since im going to be scaling and reusing them a lot. Keep in mind that one rock itself is not 2048x2048, since i like to have a couple of them in the same canvas, so think about it as 1 rock ~ 500-800px. As for the settings, im using the default ones, so I guess its RGB

@belenoporto434 2 года назад

Amazing tutorial! I have a question tho...I noticed you have a weird Icon next to your layers (RED copy and BLUE copy in minute 6:21), what is that? How can I do that?

Its Hue/Saturation Adjustment. When you create it its treated as a layer so its a nice way of saving color variations.

Hello, I export a bunch of assets on one 2048x2048 image, and then in Unity Engine there is an option to just say that there are multiple assets on one image and then do the cutting automatically.

@Tanicorn 3 года назад

Hey I was wondering what dimensions do you use for the assets? I'm always trying to make them small so they use less space.

@TheCaecus1 3 года назад

Im always using a pic with the size 2048x2048 px, and im putting multiple objects in one and then cutting it in unity. For stones, there are maybe 5-8 Rocks on that pic (so maybe ~400x400 px per rock, but then again i have some that are ~1000x1000) , because i will scale them a lot and they need to still look fine when scaled. For other smaller stuff, you can get away with putting like 50 things there, it just depends on how big the assets are going to be in the game. Hope that helps :)

@Tanicorn 3 года назад

@@TheCaecus1 yeah that does thanks! I always tended to do things as single objects 512x512 and it just never looked right. I'll be giving this a try next time.
