WIP Alternity - Integrating multiple assets from the asset store

Community Showcases
1

Hello everyone,

I’m currently working in my spare time on a project that tries to simulate environments as close as possible to their real-world counterparts. So far I’ve integrated Time of Day - Dynamic Sky Dome, Terrain Composer, Relief Terrain Pack and Interactive Audio: Enchanted Forest. For data acquisition, I implemented a web service that gathers location data from reverse IP geolocation (FreeGeoIP) and feeds them to Bing Elevation API for height data and Open Weather Map for weather conditions. These in turn are used to create the environment (currently only location and weather for TOD, heightmap coming soon).
I plan on adding Advanced Foliage Shader, ARS Weather System and Big Environment Pack.

You can try out Alternity here (Unity Web Player): http://alternity.azurewebsites.net/

Your feedback and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hey this looks like a really cool idea, it is indeed sunny where I am, but how do I know if it’s really working?

Couple of suggestions:
Display your location, time of day and weather conditions on a HUD
Would also be good to be able to pick a location to travel to

Great work so far :slight_smile:

Thank you for taking your time to test my project. You can run the application when it’s dark outside or when the sun is setting/rising. It should provide accurate sun/moon positions and moon phases. Good thinking about a HUD, I’ll add this as soon as I finish my exam session.
