Asteroid Field

Monday, November 29, 2010
















 I just had to make an Earth with the sun and an asteroid field. I mean..wouldn't you? The camera fly is completely scripted. The asteroids are randomly placed.

Cornel Box Fly

Tuesday, November 23, 2010
















I created a simple bluish-grey Cornel Box and lightmapped it with beast lightmapper in Unity. I played around with the settings a lot more in order to get a very nice over head lit look. I was able to script the camera fly in only a few lines of code. A nice polished piece for just a little bit of work! Give it a click and watch!

Modeled by Sean McDonald
Before hand, this scene had one directional light and quite a few draw calls that slowed performance. I had the camera in forward render mode (no point lights so I don't need deferred render mode). Then I light mapped the entire scene and changed the rendering path to Vertex Lit. This immediately gave me a much better frame rate. I then baked in Occlusion Culling so that only the geometry that is seen by the camera is sent to the render pipeline which yielded a well optimized environment
