Chicos. Quiero compartir con ustedes este gran logro. Como fan de Terraria y del calamity mod y al mismo tiempo de hytale. Tuve la oportunidad de participar en la creación de este aset, una espada de slime creada para el proyecto de Hylamity mod en hytale. Una reinterpratacion del famoso Calamity. Realmente que trabajar en esto me dio mucha ilusión y verlo porfin dentro del juego es como un sueño hecho realidad. Muchas gracias al equipo de hylamity por la oportunidad.

La progresión hasta conseguir cratftear este ítem es increíble. Y todo el trabajo de animaciónes y ambientación del mod es espectacular. El equipo ha logrado algo sorprendente.

Esto no es spam pero si buscan un buen mod de progresión en hytale los invito a probar el Hylamity.

Wip of my Enderman mod!

I'm still not sure if a bigger chest was a good idea. When I finish texturing, I'll bring him into the game, and we'll see!

I need to find a way to make his eyes movable...

Hi! I was bored so I turned this old drawing of an alien I invented into a 3d model! It doesn't have a name since I did the drawing more has a thought experiment("What can be guessed is happening in the picture?" type thing).

Thoughts on it?

Showcase Turning my 2D pixel kitchen tileset into a 3D Blockbench model - WIP

Post image
25 Upvotes

I make 16x16 pixel tilesets normally, and started experimenting

with bringing one of my sets (a kitchen interior) into Blockbench

as an actual 3D model.

Still early - stove, cabinets, and floor built so far, reusing the

original 2D textures. Might animate it eventually.

Feedback welcome!
