Thoughts after my first week learning Unity3d

So I've gone through about 25-30 hours of tutorials for Unity3d- I'm at a point now where I can create my first test level- as I know how to design/create everything, use basic scripts to trigger events like opening/closing doors, playing triggered sounds or animations and a few other little things- I'm really exciting about the little things I've learned though haha-

I was originally going to start on a 2d sidescroller based on my Badassery series BUT after learning more about Unity and seeing the depth of the application I need to start with something simpler- and of course do many tests before trying to make an actual game-

I watched a documentary about Walt Disney last year where he commented on the reason he opened Disneyland- he did it so the theme parks would be extensions of the movies- so an experience based on the films- Since I can't create a real theme park I want to use gaming to create my own theme parks-

When people contact me and ask me to make games I think they're saying "I want to explore the worlds you create" So thats my main reason for getting into this-

My first virtual theme park attraction will be a haunted house/woods attraction ^_^ At last thats what I'm planning it to be- it'll be a first person walkthrough of a strange and creepy place

I'm getting started on it now- expect a playable version as soon as its ready!

  1. Hey Mdot did you ever play that game "Slender"? its a lot like what youre describing.
    no REAL objective, just find some notes laying around in the woods, explore in a creepy as hell environment, take it all in... don't run into slenderman.
    As simple as that game is it was still given crazy praise and chet.
    Just sayin, that game WASNT created by the legendary M dot Strange. ;)

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

So a guy is trying to take credit for my film...

TLDR- Scroll down to THE THIEVERY My name is Mike- I make films under the name "M dot Strange" and I have done so for the past 10+ years- this is my story as a filmmaker culminating in a recent event wherein a "filmmaker" tried to take credit for my life's work Here's my imdb page with my film credits  My web site Here's a reel with stuff from my original films in which I wrote/created/designed/animated etc everything that you see- I can and have performed all aspects of animated film production on my films- thats sort of how I made a name for myself- by being a one man animated film studio Here's a presentation from 2014 with me discussing the production of my last film My first animated feature film "We Are The Strange" premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2007 Sundance archives link Article about the film Link to the film Film's site Because of the buzz that film generated I was given offers to sell the
