Starting to work on a new pack for additional blocks with a specific focus. If I make some decent progress over the weekend I will share what I am working on. Also I plan on giving my page an overhaul as well as adding a link to the website I have been working on to tie all of my creative projects together in one place. Still not returning to weekly updates yet.

Kind of excited, just got a CNC router. It is kind of a cheaper one but it should be fun to work with. I am still trying to catch up from the holiday though I have a lot going on lately. I am ready for all the summer craziness to be done so I can get to a more normalized schedule.

So I ended up missing my upload day because I got really busy with family obligations over the holiday here. I will try to plan ahead for busy weeks in the future and try to let people know ahead of time on the submission if the next update is going to be further out. I did get everything planned done. I do have extra time to work on the project this week. I am planning on putting the extra time toward the monster pack to try and get everything functioning with that ( I am having a bit of trouble with spawn rules, they don't seem to be working quite as intended)

my goals for this week are to finish rough dirt and snow blocks. These stand out the most when roaming around in the world at the moment. everything else I plan to do as I am inspired.

Ok. So I accomplished my goals for last week which feels good. I still feel like I am super busy, but that is just summer right. Always something going on. I have started helping just a little bit on a group project that looks really cool. I am super excited to see how that one turns out. A lot of talented people working on it. I will def post when they are up and running.

I was not able to put any work into the creatures that I am working on. that is kind of a bummer for me. But I am going to start adding progress points for that pack in my weekly as well. this should help me gauge my progress as well as keeping moving it forward.

My goals for the week.

Finish door textures
crafting bench
hay
several trap door textures.
various odd and ends textures.

Goals for the creature pack.

To release I want to have four monsters ready. There are a lot more that I have thought out but it will take a while to develop and flesh them all out so I thought four was a good starting point.

goal for this week is to finish the models and textures for remaining two monsters and finish all their basic json files to get them into the game.

So this is the time of the week where I set goals for myself to achieve in the coming week. I bit off a bit more than I could chew last week and was not able to get everything done that I wanted to. Mainly because it was a bit repetitive doing large amounts of the same patterns in different colors. Even though I do just overlay over a B/W then add a color layer. A lot of times I end up balancing each individual color so it looks and feels right.

Also I have gotten almost 200 downloads for my texture pack. This absolutely blows me away. When I came here I was expecting to reach very few people. I know it is just a start, this is very exciting for me. I have so much I want to do. I can only try to stay persistent in my work to share the world I want to share.

I want to thank everyone one on this site from other creators to the people who are not in the forefront but use this service. This community is really something else. I hope to be here for a while.

Anyway I have a busy weekend this weekend and will not be taking any time to work on the texture pack or on any new monster models. I may take a little time to do some concept art for some monsters while I am away this weekend. Or perhaps start working on a new banner concept to replace my placeholder one. But overall I am going to plan a smaller update for next week.

My goals for this week are.

the quartz blocks

at least 1 door

Start doing 1 or 2 miscellaneous small plants as they are some of the most prominent things left in the open world to do.

Cool :P It helps me keep motivated. As long as I don't over judge what I can do it helps me to keep moving toward my goals. Otherwise I would fall victim to Parkinson's Law and never finish. ;)

I like that you share your goals on PMC

I am a long way out from having anything workable in game. But I was super excited to at least getting this far making my own monsters. The slug guy does not have any behaviors written so it keeps looping its animations. These guys are kind of proofs of concept for me and if they work without causeing to many problems I hope to make some more complex guys. Again having anything really put together is a ways of as I would like to have a good number done before I released it. Take a look at my video if your interested.
Also sorry for the poor quality, I am not really versed in the whole making videos things.

Just signed up for the Minecraft Earth beta. I am hoping I get picked to play the beta. The game looks pretty cool.

So I found a tutorial that better explained how to make a monster for an add on at its most minimal. This has helped me quite a bit towards making the monsters that I want to add to this game. I am still working on the custom animations, but hopefully soon I can get a decent workflow going.

That being said the texture pack is still my main focus. I still have a long way to go to finish. But it might come a little bit slower because I want to split my work 50/50 between the monsters and the textures. Even beyond modeling and animating, balancing and behavior on each one is going to take a lot of work to get them the way that I want that.

That being said, my goals for the texture pack this week are

glass textures

powder concrete and concrete textures

and the rest of the door textures

if time permits I would also like to do the rail textures as well.

https://youtu.be/qn_j0L47bPs this covers the bear minimum of creating a custom monster with animation. There is a link in the description of the video that leads to a github that has all the information you need to update the information in the video to the current version. Honestly the video saved me so much time and has gave me a great starting point.

So I had a little extra time this week and started working on the model for one of the future monsters for my pack. It is a long way off from being done. It needs more texture work and a completely revamped behavior. This is a phage and Is one of the major monster types in Rhexis. Still a long way off from adding these to any packs. I was just excited at the progress I amde and wanted to share.

So I have been doing a lot of textures without really checking to see how they work in the game. I do plan to drop all plank textures by one pixel so it lines up better with others. But I am also thinking of making all brick and building type textures to have a charcoal finish. Right now some of the blocks are bordered with a shaded lighting which does not work very well from the top side anyway. I will keep everything I have though in case I want to go the other way on it. Still making progress.

I am planning on posting the next update next Friday with new textures and updates to some textures already in the pack.

oof That would be pretty sad. I think it would work out in the end though. :)

Nitgo said 2019-06-11 06:02:30

Imagine doing the whole thing wrong wrong and then realizing when it's finished. That would be just sad.

I have made way more progress tonight then I was expecting because of the weather. I am not sure if I should release an update tonight or wait until next Friday like I had originally planned. :/

My goals for the week, pertaining to work on my texture pack.

Finish all raw wood block textures and leaves. If I finish that I plan to finish the different planked blocks as well. If that gets done I want to increase the contrast on the wool blocks. Anything beyond that will not be related to textures.

This weekend I might try to work on some art for this page if I have the time.
