working on level design/locks/keys/progression etc..

suddenly i understand why so many games have "light bridges" 😂

it's the cheapest way of adding a switch that goes "oh right here's a collider you can walk on now"

created a greebles texture by mashing up some other textures, really nice for UV unwrapping and also for creating a base to work off of!

if you're into "Pixel Art 3D" please try my Blender add-on "Pixel Unwrapper"

been using it for a while, and it's at a point where I can just smash "Unwrap" and no longer need manual touch ups! (after adding seams)

(also get in touch because I might need help soon )

Created a little setup for adding (level design) Notes in Play Mode, then saving those back to the editor!

(They even propagate back through the procedural generation to the "source" tiles)

interesting, i for sure felt like games were getting bigger over time..

i want to make the tires sink into soft terrains (sand, mud)
without installing a whole dynamic tire tracks system

anyone got inspiration for sane ways to do this?

(+ I'll tell you how i hacked it in this vid 🤫)

i swore to myself that i'd never do "3d in UI space" again

i said i would keep things nice and flat from now on

but then i thought, would look cool if the map unfolds in 3d, and here we are 😂

Kinda loving URP!
easy to set up renderers for things like drawing a height contour line map

just add "RenderObjects" and "FullScreen" passes 👍

sucks tho that it's such a reverse engineering effort to find out HOW things are passed from Unity ➡️ Shader

e.g. "_BlitTexture"

Is it bad to have a bunch of renderers added to the URP pipeline?

None of them are used per-frame.

• 2 are only used in Editor to 'bake' things
• 2 are rarely used at runtime with calls to .Render()

I'm assuming just having them added has no cost?

👀 👀 👀 are you seeing this?!

how the waves are moving towards the shore,
but away from the rocks?

for 3D Pixel Art games, i'ts very important that the Pixel Density is consistent throughout the scene. A little variation is OK, but I really want to avoid 'Mixels', as Blockbench calls it

So I created a little toggle to overlay pixel density on the scene

generating a mesh for water surfaces that has baked into vertex colors:

• distance to the nearest shore
• depth of the water

allows for some very nice effects in shader!
