Tai chi [太極拳/Тайцзицюань] (demo-scene)

Tomcat

MikeCL I can clean up my additions and push them to a separate branch if you want?

Oh, that's great! I didn't expect it to look like that. 🌴

It's up to you. My project is complete, and your work can be either a separate branch or a development, a continuation of this work. Whatever is more convenient for you.

The walking simulator is a good idea. It would be possible to make it so that the character swims when entering the pool, but that greatly complicates the scene. 🏊️

But it gave me an idea.

MikeCL The pool itself, pots

btw, what program was used to create the pool and flower pots, if it's not a secret?

MikeCL

Tomcat Just some standard modeling in Blender. Nothing fancy 🙂 The pots are super basic. Then the grass is a simple grass mesh that I then populate with a multimesh instance in Godot.

The pool, I basically created a bezier curve that a mesh just follow around, combined with some regular 3D modeling. The water is just a plane with a water shader in Godot.

I see. My idea, to be more precise, is to check out content creation in certain programs so that the environment can be changed. Blender is good, but too complicated for many people, and I need players to be able to create the environment in the game themselves.

MikeCL

Tomcat Not sure I understand. You mean implementing a 3D modelling feature in the engine?

Probably close. I'm looking for a way to make it easier to create models for the game. Something like a constructor (if the term is translated correctly) in which players could make their own items for the game. Something easier than Blender. For now, it's a transitional stage between Blender and the engine. And then, yes, include it in the game as a part of it. Like in The Sims, where you can create not only characters (character generator), but also houses and lots.

Something like that:

Tomcat I see.. so like a "map editor" but for items.. Like an item editor/maker? Hmm.. Top of mind, there's different techniques you can create something like that "in-game". Maybe there's a way you could utilize CSG meshes that players could model more simple shapes. Or you could have a library of already made meshes and utilize gridmaps for the user to build new items with.

Other than this, you would probably build something very advanced that handles vertices and polygons. That's taking it to another level of complexity though and you would really need to know graphics programming.

Probably, yeah. Editor/generator/designer/constructor (can we combine these into one term?):

Characters
Buildings
Objects
…

Unfortunately, CSG meshes put a lot of strain on the computer. But I don't see any other way to make openings in walls (windows, doors).

Or you could have a library of already made meshes and utilize gridmaps for the user to build new items with.

I've seen a clothing generator where clothes are made up of parts — different sleeves, collars — that are assembled into a shirt. You can add it to a skirt and get a dress... it was a long time ago.

Top of mind, there's different techniques you can create something like that "in-game".

Probably, each editor needs its own approach. And ideally, in the end, you need an editor in the game so that characters can interact with objects.

But when you mentioned “walking sim,” I decided that we could first make a demo with minimal interactivity and then add to it and expand it later. Like Hochablass Kuhsee Augsburg.
