What I Did On My Summer Vacation Part 2

Hi Everyone! Welcome to part 2 of What I Did On My Summer Vacation.

So if you noted from Part 1, I actually don't get a Summer Vacation, but do try and take off a little more time than usual. But I haven't been completely idle. I figured I'd post a few personal "DEV Shots" of different projects I'm working on. These are all at various stages of completeness...but nothing is pending release right at the moment, since I'm trying to be a little more inclusive of TGEA and other file formats that a few folks have expressed interest in.

First is a military content pack with a focus on WW II with the current code name Bunkers and Barricades Military Content Pack. As you would probably guess it includes bunkers, barricades, along with trench sections, guard towers, sandbags, new crates, barbwire fence sections, etc.[/b]:



Second is a damaged building pack that I've had in the works for quite a while but it keeps morphing here and there. It is tentatively titled Damage & Desolation Building Pack. I've have the bulk of about a dozen damaged buildings along with bridges, road pieces, and some scattered debris:



The Third thing I have in the works is a Sci-Fi Content Pack entitled Platforms & Corridors Sci-Fi Content Pack. Again it's fairly obvious that it includes platforms and corridors along with futuristic barrels, crates and containers, conduits, hoists, catwalks/footbridges, possibly some animated fans, air locks and several styles of endrooms:



The Four is another Sci-Fi Pack that is a little different for my style, so it's probably the furthest one out in terms of completion. It will be vehicle style pack called Shuttles & Transports Sci-Fi Pack 2. I have the basic models done of the vehicles, now it's a matter of UV mapping/Texturing and rigging for TGEA/TGEA. I've messed around with the wheeled vehicle in game and it seems to work well.




These are the main working Packs, but I do have various levels of work done on at least another half a dozen packs including Ancient Civilization Pack (Temples, Pyramids, etc.), 50's theme (drive-in, gas station, theater, etc.), 1930's Floating City (think Flash Gordon style), Caves & Caverns, Middle-East Buildings, Big City Pack (Sky Scrapers, Grid Road System, etc.) and some Sprite work by my wife & daughter including stuff for TGB like Fruit & Veggie Powerups, Bugs & Insect Sprites, Trees & Plants and possibly some side scroller Building stuff that originates from previous 3D models ( think Warehouse District 2D).

Anyway, that's what's up so far this summer. Also The Sticks & Twigs Environment Pack should be seeing it's way to the GarageGames Content Store soon. The latest REV (3A) includes updates to the PNG billboard textures from some more digital camera work that Kyle and I have done. If you've already picked it up from www.monsterpacks.com the latest version REV3A should be the primary download on you account.

Well, that's all for now, but hopefully I can get my second wind for the Summer and get another couple of Packs out for you folks to get going on all of your various projects.
