Something I put together in Godot 3.4.4 using 3D scans. Trying to make a mobile AR demo.

3D scan? So she had to hold that stretch position for the whole time? The lighting looks really really good. Nice work!

cybereality

Thanks, the lighting and camera angle were mostly what I did (and the post processing and tone mapping). Since the model and wall were scanned, they already looked real. The professional rigs use like 100 cameras in a sphere, so they can take a 3D image almost instantly, then they process it on the computer later.

I thought those rig things were super expensive, are the releasing that stuff for free?

cybereality

Yes, they are expensive. I didn't do the scan myself (wish I had a rig like that). I just bought the assets like my other demos. I think the character was on sale for $40 and the door was like $15.

Ah! I saw this on twitter! The background and the character model both look realistic on their own. The "contours" that separate her hair from the background seems incredibly sharp but, I like how everything shares a consistent light source. It's looks good. Performance wise, how is it?

cybereality

Thanks. Performance is great. It's a pretty simple scene, all baked lighting. 144 fps (vsync) on my desktop. Model is 100k polys and the door is 10k. I just got it running on my Pixel 5 Android. Had to optimize a lot, but it still looks almost the same. Used a 30k poly version of the model and the same 10k poly door. Reduced texture size and messed with some stuff, but on the small screen you can't notice a difference. Running at 90 fps (vsync).

Got it running on Android, 90 fps.

Final render from Myra, my real time photogrammetry demo. Assets were purchased, but I had to spend 3 days to set up the lighting and rendering in Godot. It runs on a Pixel 5 at 90 fps. Planning to release soon so you can see for yourself it's real.

cybereality

The demo is up on Itch.

New promo image. Getting some good response from the demo, people seem to like Myra.

hows your more interactive project going? or is it on hold? looks nice btw ;)

cybereality

I was writing those books and doing videos for the past 2 months (on my YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1QpbfGWFmGzGMbXPdxQOmg ), haven't done much in Godot to be honest. And I've been busy finishing school, this Myra demo was something I wanted to put in my portfolio for a potential job offer I'm working on.

In terms of the interactive project, I have a few ideas. I started that anime game, but I don't think I will continue with it. It looked good, but I want to work on more realistic graphics right now. And I plan to do something with physics, as my experiments were looking good. So I may do a physics demo as a technology test while I work on my game.

But these demos have been time consuming and are free, so I'm not making any money. So I'm hoping to release a commercial project within maybe one year. I can work pretty fast (this Myra demo took 3 days), it just a matter of picking something and sticking with it (as I jump around a lot and abandon stuff). I'm sure whatever I end up doing will be popular, I got a lot of hits on my recent work. It just takes time. But if things go well, I should have a demo of the game ready before the end of the year, which I will use for marketing and to get some followers and attention before the release.

I will kind of have to hedge my bets, though, because making money with indie games is hard. And right now I don't have a steady job, I've been going to school mostly and doing random freelance stuff. So I can survive for a bit, but I do need to consider making a commercial game and starting a business out of this. Even if I don't get rich, it will allow me to work from home and continue making free demos and open source stuff without anyone telling me what to do. That's the plan at least.

DJM

i hate it when people tell me what to do ;) make the game u want, and not whats hot on the market u r talented enough to make a good project, im sure of it. i also have a tendency of doing random stuff and abandonning them. but that never leads to anything finished/polished. so im trying to stick with my current project to learn godot looking forward to a wip thread of your project

@DJM said: i hate it when people tell me what to do

Yeah, but that's how you get paid. :)

cybereality

Yes and no. It depends what you do and how you carry yourself. I guess because for the first 10 years of my career I worked from home as a freelancer, I had a different perspective. So when I did end up in an office job, I was kind of a free agent. People would give me tasks, and I would complete them. But no one really told me what to do, and if they did, I didn't listen and did whatever I wanted anyhow. And if things were slow at work, I would just read books, and mark it in the time sheet as "research". No one cared, cause I was doing a good job.

Myra is mentioned on GameFromScratch.com, which is very cool. B) Congratulations! :+1:

cybereality

Yeah, I saw the video. Very happy about that.

Erich_L

I am also a bit more than a month off from finishing school. Balancing indie game dev and a job I’m in the same boat, I really wanna move back to WA state tho. I regret doing all that dumb terrain research haha but oh well. Did any one ask you for demos? My resume gets ignored for not having Unity/Unreal on there.
