New ideas be a growiN in 2012


So I'm working on a whole new animated film idea and a 2d game to go along with the film AND an unrelated 3d game that is probably the worst idea I've ever had so it'll probably be successful ^_^

I read this book and this book on Game Design which helped shift my brain into that world a little as I knew nothing about it and don't play games much anymore but it helped focus the ideas...

So I'm hoping to move forward and learn a lot about creating games.... for the 2d one I'm playing with Construct 2 as its really easy to use and has some good features... for the 3d one I'm going to mess with Unity 3d.

Super genuiS guy Tyson turned me on to Unity 3d after I saw the awesomeness that he is making with it in Zombox, I asked him how he learned Unity and he said that he just started using it and dug into the doc's so that was really inspiring!

Most of these game engines have free versions so you can develop limited versions of your games without having to pay for anything so that is definitely nicE.

It looks like the Heart String Marionette real world premiere will be at the Waterloo Festival of Animated film in November so if you want to see the film on a big screen and perhaps kick it with Endika or myself watch that site yo

Also HSM was recently featured on CgSociety and HSM hentai was made ^_^

  1. I support you this 100% man :), you'll make a great game :), and i'll be looking forward to play it. Let me state this with a little quote from gurren lagann :): "Messenger! Nia: The likelihood of my return is close to zero.
    Simon: Maybe, but it isn't zero. And for me, that makes it the same as a hundred percent chance!"

What format should I render out of Cinema 4d with?

UPDATED 2_27_13!  RENDER USING EXR Lossy Zip16! Since I'm working on a new feature film that will generate over 1500 shots made up of image sequences I need to make sure I choose the right file format to render to lest my hard drives explode. What I need from my format is  at least 16bit, an alpha included and preferably small size. I rendered out a frame from my film tallied up all the file sizes here- their all different types of codecs listed from smallest file size to largest. The render includes an RGBA pass, Depth pass, and Material Luminance pass because thats what I always render out. 1.00mb 8bit-Photo Jpeg %100 1.27mb 8bit-PNG 4.65mb 16bit- EXR lossy ZIP16 5.75mb 8bit-PSD 6.23mb 16bit-EXR lossy PLZ 6.44mb 16bit-PNG 7.94mb 8bit-TIFF 8.50mb 16bit-EXR Lossy 24 9.05mb 16bit-EXR Lossy Run Length 14.6mb 8bit-TARGA 22.4mb 32bit-EXR ZIP16 24.6mb 32bit-EXR Zip1 25.6mb 32bit-EXR PLZ 29.3mb 16bit-TIFF 29.3mb 16bit-PSD 40.0mb 32bit-EXR Run Length 58.7mb 16
