I've finished the entire texture for the first mech! Does this design remind you of anything else?

Swapped the placeholder thruster VFX for something that actually belongs in a PS1-era mech game. Mech's movement's been tightened up too.

Does the low-res particle look read right, or still too clean?

Turns out building low-resolution muzzle shot VFX is quite interesting too.
Does this style of VFX remind you of any old-school games?

@BOLERO_19 It's gorgeous! Is this a kit bash or an original mech model?

@h00die146 Making my Mech game too and can't wait to play all those game in your post 🤖

Taking our first boost across the arena! I'm trying to nail that classic heavy boost feel - where momentum actually pushes back and you have to master it, rather than just gliding around. What do you guys think, are we getting close?

@chronobauble That's called banded/stepped shading. Needed a custom material shader in Godot to pull it off. no built-in toon shading gets quite that look out of the box. Glad it's landing well!

@CChaBouzu very smooth animation <3

@SoulInPixels I use Krita to draw textures. As for the Pixel Art brush tool, I actually find it quite difficult to use. If you like it, it's available in Blender 5.

hand painting every panel line on this arm. no AI, no shortcuts, just a lot of undo history.

Three attempts! My mech's legs fought physics and lost every time - until they didn't.
building #CodeVulture solo in #GodotEngine. this is what "learning IK the hard way" actually looks like.

@NunoTheDude how about you just get out of here ?

[Strix Owl | Making Mech Game Code: Vulture @StrixOwlDev]

@chronobauble no real trick tbh, the thing that helps most is locking a 20-24 colors palette so stray colours can't sneak in, and using hard-edge selections instead of soft brushes for the panel lines. still figuring a lot of it out as i go

@PlayGameGen Thank you. This is my first time creating textures in Blender. The experience was really quite different!

@HitryLogyGames This tank legs part make the Mech feel like an autonomous robot operating on Mars.
