Survival horror free time project

Hi,

I decided to start a survival horror project in my free time just to improve my environment skills

This is just a first test to see if my fast way of making inside cave environments works

I used crazybump to make displacement maps of my seamless textures put those 2 on a basic mesh in autodesk max embed the displacement map on to my model and exported that to unity

this way i could easy create large inside cave environments without a lot of work on modeling all the rocks this saves a lot of time

but enough talking go check it out

Make your way true the cave

Next:

  • add monsters underwater
  • add props and other models

Its spooky. But I really don’t like the light that is shining under you. Also its hard to get out of the water.
Good start :slight_smile:

good to get some feedback.

this is just a empty level to create some feeling

Its actually very nice, but you might wanna fix up the deformation of the cave texture, i noticed that in some parts, the texture was stretched, which made it look bad, its much easier to see when there full light but i did notice it. Ur on a great start, just make those webs a little more realistic, and make the player’s sight a little bit blurry and blue when ur under water, and fix up the player control, it was really annoying walking around the caves when i was in the air most of the time :stuck_out_tongue:

Im working on a survival horror myself so feel free to ask for some feedback on important aspects such as lighting, and background music, etc.

Good work :slight_smile:

Wow thats a great sense of immersion.

Your level deserves a much better texture though

Theres a few sites with free textures out there, although you often have to make seamless ones yourself and its quite difficult to do right.

I like it, a few questions though…
Did you know if you strafe you run about 5x faster? :slight_smile:
Also, on the guy in the spier webs, I don’t know if it was on purpose but for me there pretty much spikes coming out of him. Almost like a vertex (or about 7) was wayyy out of place. I think also though it maybe part of the web? not sure, keep it up!

Like it!.. you could add some bats there…
Ambient is very good… just … try to experiment with the spotlight…

try to add a spotlight cookie… that makes ambient very realistic…

Good Work…

This looks rather amazing :wink: some mist would be nice to give a airy feling. And may I note Im on W7, 4gb Ati radeon and some Ati quad core and it is slightly lagging.
