@Plagueheart Жыл бұрын

Grant's island seems more pleasing to the eye and has a more difficult setting for the player to aboard the island because this requires the player to gather all the resources to craft a boat just to reach it and its more stylized approach. Also like the Boss idea too

Rick taught us that you have to have moments and his castle has only 2 I think, battle and flag capture. Grant's castle though has 3 moments the forest, the road to the castle and the Boss. And he has banner's as per client request. Grant wins. Gary's gameplay wise is great but it looks bad :))

Honestly, Unreal 5 is probably the best "all-in-one" game engine that exists currently, you can do pretty much everything within one window, except maybe the actual artwork/drawing. Also consider that he wasn't even familiar with Unreal and obviously hadn't worked with it much if at all before, so it's crazy to think what an Unreal expert could have done in the same amount of time.

For future reference if anybody needs it: Add an Icosphere, set divisions to 1 Hit tab to Edit mode Then select a vertex and hit Ctrl+Shift+B to bevel (menu item is Vertex > Bevel) Grab a vertex and move it along its normal by hitting G then G If you have Auto Merge Vertices on the 2 overlapping verts will merge (That's a tick box top right of screen while you're in edit mode) Hope it helps! It's also fun to add a Decimate modifier afterwards.

Not to be that guy, but castles actually were quite often painted white. I forget all the reasons why outside of pure vanity, but a white castle would be more period appropriate that a "proper grey" castle. Very fun video.

@anarchodolly Жыл бұрын

I remember hearing somewhere of a castle in France that had the entire outer curtain wall painted salmon pink. Medieval aesthetics were pretty garish really.

@garypettie5805 Жыл бұрын

I love being "that guy", so here are some extra details for you 😃 Historically, they were painted for a few reasons; It made them more visible from a distance, It helped to protects the underlying structure from the weather, It may have helped control the spread of disease. It's also worth noting that many early-medieval castles were made from wood rather than stone. In some cases, these wooden structures would be disguised as stone castles to make them look more fire-resistant that they actually were. I was going to color mine something different but ran out of time, so I'm going to claim that it's a wooden castle that has a stone veneer to make it look more durable! 🙃

@TheOnlyGhxst Жыл бұрын

I gotta say, I think Unreal wins here. The one made in blender looked good and was more detailed, possibly, but the Unreal creation not only completed the castle assignment, but also had the rest of the big open land surrounding the castle to potentially explore; with mountains, small forests, etc... Doing all of that compared to just the single Island Castle within the same amount of time, and by someone who isn't even accustomed to working with Unreal, is simply fantastic. It not only illustrates the ability of the guy who made it, but also the power and ease-of-use of Unreal. Edit: Also, I'm a bit surprised by how crappy the Unity creation looks in comparison to both. Not to blame the person who made it, it just looks like Unity has much worse default tools, and relies much more heavily on the marketplace and plugins.

@acarith8494 Жыл бұрын

The thing is that you're able to implement Blender files into Unreal, thus making blender superior for this kind of work and detailing which you can then add onto a world made in Unreal. At least imo.
