So I met this guy named WEIRDRO


Recently as a test of a technique for my main game project I made this thing- I was testing live lip sync in a build-

It was fun to make so I made another the next night


All the assets in these vids are either from old abandoned projects of mine + Unity assets from the store- the little man's head is actually a nightmare head from my film I am Nightmare ^_^

Anyway- he's fun to play around with and I came up with some novel mechanics for him to use in a "game" setting so I'm looking at my calendar this month to see if I can fit in time to make a game for him-

On 5-19 I start on a new game for San Jose's SubZero festival which is on 6-3- So since I'm crazy I'm going to try and take 2 weeks to make this guys game then do the other one as well as work on my main game-

Don't worry- I'm a grizzled veteran so if I think I can do it- I can.

I'm excited to do this little one for other reasons as well- it would be the first game I would make without using Playmaker- I'm comfortable coding everything now so I'm looking forward to that as well-

On my main game project I ran into a performance wall upon having the first area done so I then learned about  async? Coroutines and threading- Since I'm new here I used this asset for the "More Effective" Coroutines and this add on to it to send stuff to background threads-

I also broke my scenes into pieces and am using this asset to handle the scene streaming-

So now the performance on my main game is great BUT its my "big project" so I hate it some times haha- its a big complicated thing that moves slowly- so these two fast little game projects really seem nice right now ^_^

Well I'm back to work on the games- next post I'll probably have two new ones to share with you!

Lil UPDATE:

Here is some gameplay video of the game featuring this guy- its called "WEIRDRO"

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
