From now on I’ll keep the devlogs bi-weekly. There are many uninteresting things that aren’t worth showing, and also a lot of behind the curtains work that I won’t show. Things like story writing, experiments, networking, research, courses, paperwork…etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This devlog is fairly short, here’s a summary<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robot Model Low Poly + Texture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This took the majority of a week to finish. There were so many pieces, and my computer started to struggle a little bit (who knew 38 Million polygons would do such thing. No one could have possibly foreseen this!). I optimized the model to 68K triangles, which I feel is still a bit high for NPCs, but it’s easy to lower it down later, and it will be the same base for the main player as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Textured Lowpoly Model<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I had to split the model into many pieces to help with the baking process, I ended up with 66 pairs (highpoly and lowpoly). I did not want to spend like 10 minutes manually renaming them, so instead I spent 30 minutes creating a script that does it for me. All I had is to select a highpoly and lowpoly pair then run the script and it will make the names match and add a “_low” and “_high” suffix, then temporarily hide them. This made the process super fast and straightforward<\/p>\n\n\n\n
