What are you working on currently? (2019)

Currently working on a big map update for the game Steam Age! The following contains work by @MobiusEagle, @yrrebRBLX, @dr01d3k4, and myself:






The said map update is estimated to be released sometime in May, and this is just about all the stuff that can be shown of it currently. Still quite a bit to do but we’re getting there!

Are you using ViewportFrames and Glass material?

Yep! It’s a bit of a hacky solution but the only one we’ll get right now

Skyboxes in ViewportFrames.

If you want the skybox model:

The skybox will need to be moved every camera update so that its position (but not its rotation!) is locked to the camera. This also needs to be scaled up so that it doesn’t get rendered in front of the subject. For the vid, I scaled it up 100x. Here’s a free scaling function:

local function scaleModel(model, scale)
	if scale ~= 1 then
		for _, v in next, model:GetDescendants() do
			if v:IsA("BasePart") then
				v.Size = v.Size*scale
				v.Position = v.Position*scale
			elseif v:IsA("JointInstance") then
				local C0, C1 = v.C0, v.C1
				v.C0 = C0 + (C0.p*(scale-1))
				v.C1 = C1 + (C1.p*(scale-1))
			elseif v:IsA("DataModelMesh") then
				if v:IsA("SpecialMesh") and v.MeshType == Enum.MeshType.FileMesh then
					v.Scale = v.Scale*scale
				end
				v.Offset = v.Offset*scale
			elseif v:IsA("Attachment") then
				v.Position = v.Position*scale
			end
		end
	end
end

The only was I was able to tell that this was Roblox was the terrain. Roblox lighting has gone a long way.

How do you do that?

Mabye you could turn that into a plug-in or something

↓ Oh lol. :laughing:

If you look at the explorer, it’s just 3 layers of the same text.

I’m making a mini-game for my game. (The fish is free model, and I know my idle animation is bad)

You don’t need to doubt your work. It looks great, and using free models isn’t a bad thing. Nice work! :smiley:

Beware of backdoors though. They can be pretty unexpected.
