Now with Video!

Like I mentioned last week, spring term started up again so there goes all my free time, though I did mention I wanted to make a few videos to show it off in motion. Just a quick disclaimer: I used Shadow Play to record these, and despite rendering in the game in ~300 FPS, and recording it in 60FPS 1080p, the recording for some reason has frame drops and sub par audio. I'm not sure why, I mean I'm running on the Episode 2 engine released in 2007... and I have a GTX 760... but aw well.

This first video is just a weird thing I discovered with the AI. One out of the 7 combine units will travel from one room to another to investigate gun fire while none of the others seems to really care other then going into alert mode. I'm not sure why he's doing it and why the others aren't.

The second clip is a standard walk around. I just want to reiterate that I'm still really in the world building, as you can tell by the bad lighting and low quality shadows. Other than that, I'm quite proud to have my own virtual world that I made and I'm able to walk around in.

I can't make any promises for next week. I've debated turning this into a personal journal as well but I think I'll hold off for now. I still need to finish up that area by the APC and on the other side of some of the buildings in the court yard. After that I'll have to move onto lighting and learning how to add scripted sequences, animations, models, textures.... this is a really good learning experience.
