WHATS NEW?
Sci-Fi Effects goes BETA and will continue to improve including even more features over the next updates.
To kick things off, we’ve added several new elements into play, including new Modular Turret constructor, updated Turret Controller along with the revamped PoolManager and we’re excited to share the details on the major changes occurring this update.
GO MODULAR!
Counting over 22 turret components enables thousands of combinations covering both Desktop and Mobile devices throughout several LOD groups and PBR/Mobile materials.
All the replaceable turret parts are supplied with unified textures with maximum texture resolution up to 4096x4096 for Desktop and 2048x2048 on Mobile.
At this point we’ve established Turret polycount according to:
• LOD0 - up to 5000 polygons per assembled turret
• LOD1 - up to 2500 polygons (is also used in mobile version)
TURRET EDITOR
To reduce the amount of time needed for turret parts swapping, we’re happy to introduce the modular approach we’ve been working to create, manage and keep turret templates, which are shared across the entire project in a ScriptableObject database.
TURRET CONSTRUCTOR
One of the greatest thing about Turrets is the ability to sculpt any turret design no matter what type you’re trying to build. In the very same way, we also allowed the automatic parts assembly on a turret skeleton using the constructor utility component.
TURRET CONTROLLER
Perfect for any kind games the redesigned turret controller is now highly customizable including arcs of fire handles and several aiming algorithms.
POOL MANAGER
The updated Pool Manager allows you to toggle between a group of pools and contains a lot of useful innovations such as load balancer, a scriptableObject database and separate settings for each pool.
