3D Space Flight

Alright, maybe that's an exaggeration. The only thing that's 3D is the ship. Still, I though it looked nice, so I'm posting it.

Points of Interest

1. Includes one hastily made ship sculpted and painted in Sculptris. Designed to rotate when moving

2. Right click shoots, left click barrel rolls. Space cloaks

3. Tried to make the back ground kinda 3D'ish, not sure if the effect worked

4. Outline and cloak effects done through layer effects, not object effects. 3D and object effects don't seem to get along very well (Lots of edges cut).

Do tell me what you think. Tweak and copy at your leisure.

Wow! This is extremely cool!

One slight issue, i had to manually update the path to the space-ship model for it to show up.

Other than that though this is really nice

Loved it! Thanks for sharing. This would be awesome combined with a joystick.

Wikd stuff keep it up

Awesome but yeah, had to edit the path to the .obj too.

Edit: changing to just the file name worked

Sorry about that, it should be fixed now.

That was awesome!

Definitely a good tool for making a classic 3D space shooter.

I'm gonna have to see if I can make a game out of this.

Nice. The way the ship angles towards where it's moving slightly is very slick, and surprisingly simple.

That is cool man, is Sculptris good for making static 3d objects for games then?

Thank you everyone for the comments.

Certainly. I've noticed in general though that it works best for objects that are roundish though. One neat things about Sculptris though, is that allows texture creating by directly painting on the model; then you can export the texture directly to png and have it work with construct without any changes.

What the...? DrPetter works for Pixologic now? Did he sell Sculptris to them or give it to them in exchange for a job?

This is weird and I am confuse

Interesting. From the way it's worded it seems like they found his software, loved it, and offered him a job. Maybe they asked him if he'd like to combine his software with zbrush. Hopefully they keep it free (for marketing purposes), as sort of a gateway tool to zbrush. I'm hoping it's "free" with little ads for zbrush integrated directly in the program. menu items like "export to zbrush" etc.

And I hope they didn't just buy him out to get rid of a competitor...

They pulled an Adobe

From I've found, it actually seems to be for the better.

A bit of jabber on the ZBrush forums

funny fact: move your mouse around the screen like madman and see what the ship does when trying to follow the mouse cursor

on topic: for 3D models i would point you to Google ScetchUp.

its a dumbdown version of any 3d profesional modeling tool and its soo easy to use that even a baby can play with it.
