3D?

Sooo, I’m now thinking my entry for LD19 will be 3D. I spent some time yesterday watching tutorials on blender 2.5 and wow they’ve made some great improvements on the interface since the last time I used it. It still seems far from perfect but I have to applaud their efforts. I’m looking forward to having a play. It’s great to see that the 3D view is finally the default =)

I need to spend some time with that and run through the Unity tutorials again before the date so I’m not feeling too rusty. With work and all it will be a tight fit but I’m looking forward to the challenge =)

I’m also looking forward to voting on themes this Sunday! My current favourites are Architecture and Loneliness or any other theme that gives me an excuse to just build a level and not worry too much about the game mechanics ;P

If we end up doing something like procedural I’ll have to fall back to Game Maker since I would have no idea how to do that sort of thing in Unity. Maybe for LD20 ;P

As it’s Friday I hope you all have a nice weekend!

Update: Another couple tutorial videos in and I am now completely sold on Blender 2.5 – huge improvements. I am so pleased =D

Blender 2.5 is definitely better, but unless something has changed unity can’t read the 2.5 .blend files directly so you may need to export to a different format first – definitely want to check it works before starting. 2.49b works fine but isn’t as nice to use.
