More Landscape Generation

More tests of the landscape generation.

Pixel Drawing -> Painted Landscape

The first version turns this little pixel drawing:

Into this:

See it go here (brush version) and here (square version).

A pixel drawing is used to try to save on workload (less information needed in a pixel drawing) and file size.

Photo -> Painted Landscape

The second version takes a photo and repaints it.

This photo:


Is turned into a painted landscape like this:


See it in action here.

Landscape Generation

Looking at ways of generating the visuals of the landscapes without needing to handpaint them all.

Getting the computer to generate landscapes in a painty style is actually pretty easy and effective!



You can see functioning examples here:

• Generating static images
• Generating constantly moving images (with same brush)
  
• moving images (with simpler brush)
• moving images (with square brush)
• moving images (with square textured brush)

Final Presentation

I've added a section for reference images too! Grab it here!

Also, another concept of the avatar. Trying to make a space suit that looks both practical and stylish. Mostly by making it a mid-century overcoat with a helmet:

3rd Draft Presentation

The file for the 3rd draft of the presentation is here. It has an extensive storyboard of how a puzzle might pan out.

Some questions to ask the class:

- Do you need a connection with avatar?
- Does a story matter to you in games?
- Is simply exploring a space enough to keep you playing?
- Does the interface in it's current state make sense?
- What part seems like the most fun; puzzles, building machine, piloting machine?
- How long should it be?
- What machine pieces should there be?
- Should there be combat?

And another concept drawing:

Series of 5 images

The series of 5 images for the final class assignment.

Draft (?) Presentation

You can grab the presentation file for my concept here.

EDIT: figured I might as well put the first draft here as well for the look of the thing.

Landscapes

Some concepts for the new enviromental puzzle-based Mechanised.

Update: A concept of the build mode interface. Same as the interface outlined in the previous version of Mechanised, but the sidebar with machine parts is no longer needed. The machine can only be built with parts that are found in the world.
