If it is allowed at this time, my Sidebar challenge is also already up at this link (along with the Basement Challenge and Lesson #3 and #4 homework and extra credit.  I realize you are swamped with business at this time, so was trying to ease your burden by having them all done and waiting to catch you when you get a moment free.

Here’s my submission for Credit Challenge 01: The Underbuilding.

 

I designed my basement to serve as additional living space for the owner family and storage space for the shop. I used interior walls and animated doors to define the living/dining room, bedroom, hallway, and storage room. The required columns are in there, they’re just hard to pick out since they are attached to wall parts.

 

Overview with NavMesh.

 

NavMesh only.

 

Trap door.

 

In-game view from door landing. (looking straight down hallway)

 

Dining table and winter kitchen in living area. (looking right)

 

Study table and player bookshelves in living area. (looking left)

 

Storage room view 1.

 

Storage room view 2.

 

Storage room view 3. (See the little dotted line at the ceiling? Turns out I had duplicated an entire basement piece. Oops! I fixed it but included this picture to show the mistake.)

 

Bedroom view 1.

 

Bedroom view 2.

 

I haven’t made the interactive bookshelves yet since that’s beyond the scope of the class. I hope it’s OK that I left those shelves empty for now.

Credit Challenge 02: The Crafted Sidebar

 

I made my side porch into a summer kitchen. (I put some stone down under the fire, because yikes. Fire.)

 

Here are some in-game views:

 

Dining table.

 

Crafting.

 

And the NavMesh:

 

Here it is.

 

Just the mesh.

 

I hope I got what I needed to show in the mesh pics. I’ve been at it for a while and every time I close my eyes I see red triangles. Hopefully some of them are in the pictures.

If it is allowed at this time, the Extra Credit Challenge Shack is also completed (as is Lesson#4).   I was not trying to abuse any class rules, just realized you were swamped with business at this time, so was trying to ease your burden by having them all done and waiting to catch you when you get a moment free.

Well done Grits and mALX it's exam time!

[mALX]

Thank you so very much, DarkRider!

Er...my points earned so far should be 95, they are only showing 85.  

 

(It should reflect all four class lesson homework assignments plus the extra credits for each; all three Extra Credit Challenges - Basement/Sidebar/Shack;  plus you said you'd give me an extra 5 points for creative use of statics).  

[DarkRider]

I was just copying the formatting and hadn't updated it to reflect the actual total yet, but should be good now.

Credit Challenge 03: The Outbound House

 

 

I designed my outbuilding as a dirt-floored tool shed with storage and elements from the nearby garden. I left one end open because I like it that way, but I can put in a floor and end wall if that would be better for this exercise. Imagining wheeling a cart in and out of the little door made me knock the side wall down.

 

Practice really does make altering NavMesh less painful. I jumped for joy when the green lines finally popped up.

 

 

Here are the pictures:

 

 

Whole cell showing new green border parts.

 

 

Just the NavMesh.

Dock and boat with NavMesh.

 

In-game view of garden shed.

 

Open end for light, access, and view. (And to prevent vampire neighbors from sneaking up on you.)

 

Garden tools and supplies.

 

I made the garden area flatter and built the shed into the hill.

 

I suppose instead of a sloped or raised floor I could have made a terrace. Hmm…

[Grits]

Hi.  Just checking for feedback on above post to see if I need to change anything with exterior NavMesh before I tackle that part in my final exam project. 

[DarkRider]

Hi Grits, looks pretty great! I would move the pathing under the dock out from under it to prevent traveling NPCs from trying to travel through there. Other than that, nicely done

I decided to design the porch as an outdoor eatery in the context of the tavern I built in the preceding lessons. I will add more crafting components in Credit Challenge 03.

Oops, I didn't think of that. I'll fix it before I get to the next part. Thank you, DarkRider!

Great job Brady

I apologize for the delay, the week kept me a little more busy. I hope to release the Final Exam faster.

[DarkRider]

Looks great Brady

[DarkRider]

Well done Pinky, interesting take on the outbound shack, looks like you're ready for your final, good luck!

[IronBlockGames]

I guess while I wait for my 4th class to be graded.. I'll start on these.

Also how do you do the spoiler tags?

The Underbuilding

Trap door with link and nav mesh update.

Said we could decour the basement how we wanted right? I opted to go off center to make a divide to split the room. I also extended it a bit further;

Saw the well bit and couldn't resist playing with it.

Full nav mesh.

Lighting

The Crafted Sidebar

I went with a very dainty outdoor dinning area.

Some potted plants to brighten up the place, as well as the hanging light. (I dimmed it a bit after this shot was taken)

 

Navmesh updated.

Now to wait for lessen 4 to be graded and I can do the shack.

[DarkRider]

Well done

[IronBlockGames]

The Outbound House

Time for more fun with the shack kit.

 

Set up like a fishermans shack.

Back end side has a work bench for fishing rod repairs, and theres a tanning rack on the side for.. fishing gear?

Rather cozy inside, with a place to prep the fish caught, a bed for resting and a cook pot to cook all them nommy fishies.

 

Lets not forget a place to eat the fish as well.

Nav mesh (roof bits hidden) No mesh was deleted but man some of it is really streched out there.

Disspite what it looks like there is no overlap in the water, thats just some points being higher then the rest due to the rocks out there. But the area is realllly tight.

Reallly tight. A whole lot had to be moved for this x.x
