5 more days… Time flees so quickly…
I still work on Carcassonne’s Basilica.
Windows that i want to model and bake for diffuse and height.
The aim ? having uniform windows all arounf the Basilica.
Photos look fine for some windows but as the light is always different from day to day and from north to south it’s kinda impossible to have homogeneous windows all around the building.
This is main reason for rebuilding and baking.
I’ll make soon a new topic specially for this 
Happy blending !
Some news about the Basilica.
Stained glass windows are progressing.
Hope you like it 
Happy blending !
Nice work! keep it up! 
Thanks 
Am glad you like it !
Dont forget to try-out the free app ( windows or nux ) and gimme you feedback 
The next step of the project is to setup the full Basilica in the medieval city.
It’s a big piece that ate me long time to model from scratch and set up in scene but it’s a ‘must be’.
Next step ( in the app ) is to setup ruined walls and towers so that the visitor can rewind time and discover the city before Eugene-Violet-Le-Duc reworked and renewed it in 1886.
Further steps will be to model and show the medieval city in even older days… untill it’s foundation, when it was a lone roman house…
I still have lots to do
Happy blending !
still some stonework clay render…
Fully done with only curves 
I think this is the right way…
Happy blending !
hi all
Back there with a first render of the fully textured ( with fixed problems ) with normals and sun
of the Carcassonne medieval city basilica.
Next step is to apply dirt on the sandstone and then unvrap to an AO+DIRT texture for baking.
This model burdens the run speed on smarphones as it’s for itself as many triables as the whole city walls and towers.
In unity3D I’ll have to setup a LOD system…
Happy blending !
hi all
Some dirt added and the Basilica looks a bit more ‘in its juice’ like we say in france 
The lil cube in the lower right corner is nothing but a toy i play with as i just discovered the ‘bevel’ node !!!
IT IS JUST INSANE !!!
I think i can do some things with this for implementing leaks on vertical wall parts…
Hope you like it
Happy blending !
the current work is for building LOD meshes, baking those meshes and integrating them in unity…
It’s long and boring process that gives no visual result… please be patient…
The Basilica mesh will be soon done 
Happy blending !
Nah ! i’m not dead !
Not yet 
Long time passed since the previous post and lots of things have been done.
The basilica… of course…
This is the too high poly model that made the vase overflow.
On a win PC ( UNDER WINDOWS 7 ! YES I’M KINDA PREHISTORIC !!! 
) it runs pretty fluently but on a samsung J5 android the frame rate dropped to 12 fps… 
No other suitable words than ‘shitty’.
Then i tried to reinvent the wheel… Dig down to the fundation of graphics and rewrote all U3D shaders i use.
Lots of tools coding and benching, but finally… i’m quite glad with the result as i now run at 23 fps instead of 12 on a samsung J5 !
The good new is that the app is pretty nice and usable. The bad new is that i got now no water under the keel.
I MUST do with the newer shaders that wont change for long time.
Nightlights and daylights; LOD settings with their day and night lightings. All baked from the base mesh. And the final result in the app is quite satisfying !
And i really hope you’ll like it !
You can get the app ( some free some not free ) for WIN, LIN, DROID and soon for IOs on my website www.kleioscope.fr
( please wait for tomorrow as i only got 2 hands and 1 neuron )
I’m glad this milestone is now reached. 2,5 years since the beginning…
Now… hehehe… now will come the really interresting part.
Those of you who got the app and were curious enough for having a walk around, probably know what i dream of: a time machine.
I set up in my current app a ‘preview’ of the medieval city befor Eugene-Viollet-Le-Duc rebuilt the city.
A preview of what was The ruined medieval city.
This is the next step !
allowing the visitor to see this ( nowadays building ):
And travel through time to see this:
New challenge new fun 
Hope to hear from you soon and hope you ( will ) like it !
Happy blending !
Hi all !
Back there with some news on the project.
In 25 days i managed to do some little things even if blender has been lowly involved.
1st of all a global rework of the project so that it is made of a loader and of multiple separate scenes for the medieval city various ages.
Next to this an also global rework for the UI. It is now simpler, clearer, more efficient and more user friendly.
Now that each scenes ( even if i have only one so far ) can be loaded/unloaded separately i made a shader/script effect ( with the write of a simple tween lib ) so that the come-in and out of the scenes are more sexy and nicer.
For this i discovered the geometry shader program.
My 1st word when i discovered this was: OH SH*T !!!
I somewhat regret i gotta continue this huge 3D medieval city project as i’d really want to dig in geometry shaders for the great fun they can give !
Possibilities are infinite and they are the only missing link in shaders for letting ppl doing absolutely crazy things
hmmm lemme give you a lil view of the full scene come in ( and keep in mind this runs on an 6 years old android smartphone )
Hope you like it
Now i have to reveal ( even if it’s not a revelation ) that the app is some kind of time machine, pushing the visitor in the past so that he can visit the old medieval city as it looked like in the past ) that it’s time for me to make a time capsule for time travels.
This is some UI made in unity and blender and also some meshes totally made in blender and animated in unity.
I want visual effects and sexy sounds that make the visitor say WOW !
my high age and my culture pushes me towards pieces of art like H.G. Wells time machine, terminator, and other various sources of inspiration.
I tried to make an icosphere in blender, kill all faces and skin the segments…
This shows an interresting spherical cell immune to matter disorganization due to time travel
spherical cage overheating and high power electricity also have to be part of the show !
( while the current scene unloads and the next scene loads )
just a spoil from U3D scene view
I’m on the way for this and i’m currently stuck with blender that don’t do what is intended 
Here’s the problem: Blender 2.92 not saving alpha values properly
I use postprocessing and i obviously should not 
digging again and again
The app will soon be freely downloadable on my website as usual : www.kleioscope.fr
Thanks to all thos following me 
And happy blending !
If you are from France, you should definitely check Jean “Moebius” Giraud. That’s some next level stuff if you want to play with people perception.
I’m from france @silex 
and i love what moebius did.
Too bad he’s not in this world anymore. He pleased so many people with his art and crazyness…
I’m glad you know him
Oh lil question for you: what do you think of the Basilica stained glass windows ?
I know they are far from your stained glass professionnal expectation 
but they are a compromise for making all this run on a smartphone 
Happy blending !
IMHO Moebius had genius level lineart skills and overall ideas. I especially like his works with Jodorovsky like Incal.
The stained glass and the overall of the basilica looks very nice. Its good that you made the glass dark and not transparent. This makes the windows more realistic.
It’s really pity that all the detail are lost with smaller displays. I cannot stomach downgrading my own works resolution for mobile purposes, but honestly what else can you do.
Many things in parallel:
Here’s the 1st pieces of vegetation:
more will come soon… hope you like it
happy blending !
Well, I don’t know if this message have this place here but : I’m really amazed by your work, you’re doing some reeeaaaally good job, and I just want to encourage you.
Keep going like that
Thanks you very much @Kazrarr for your kind words
If you read at the top, all messages are welcome here including the ones from those hating unity3D or this work in general
I love the idea people like what i do but more than that, the idea that people like to see old stones from your world history
If you feel like it, and have time for this, i’d invite you to give a try to the app downloadable on my website ( win or lin or droid ( paid for this later one ) ) and come back here with your opinion/impression
And maybe who knows, talk about this all round you
Thanks again and happy blending !
I got very few feedback and i’d be fond of some.
could you give me the link of your website plz, I’d be glad to try this !
Oh
all is in the 1st post
click on carcassone on the left and then on the icon for your system
Thanks and happy blending !
Hi all !
Back there quickly just to say i’m not ( yet 
) dead and the carcassonne 3D medieval city is still in WIP.
I’m currently working on 2 things:
For vegetation, the Ivy blender addon that i modified wil be greatly usefull for designing and baking various kind of bushes : IVY addon small changes
and for plants i will use textures.com…
So i’ll be back here soon with some news and blender work.
Please hang on 
Happy blending !
