Hi everyone! i want to show you a little preview of my project, i was developing the exterior and surroundings areas of Alchemilla Hospital, im glad to tell that the model of the building of AH (facade) is almost finished, streets, sidewalks, lamp post and other buildings seen in this demo are just placeholders to test the level, i was working in the ambient more than anything, fog, snow etc, the level will include two blocks from Central SH.

3D Model on G.Sketchup:



Adding the effects to the level:
1- No effects apply
2- Ambient Light (same one to fog)
3- Static Fog (same one to Ambient Light)
4- Fog Smoke (with movement like SH2 & SH3)
5- Snow particle (remains on the floor and then dissolve)
6-Occlusion Culling (Make objects dissappear depending
the distance and view of the game camera) better optimization-



Here you can see an example of what explained above:


By last, you can see this video exploring the test level, i tried to make the ambient be the same as possible of the first game:

Thanks all and hope you like it!

Awesome ! Really nice work !

This makes me wish for a SH1 HD remake again. You did a pretty good job.

Sketchup is so handy for quick geo creation for game environments. One reason I typically choose unity, as the pipeline for getting an environment playable is so straightforward.

Nice job.

Given what it is, the video did give off a SH vibe. Great work!

What do you plan on doing with this? If you want ambiance i can provide.

I'm assuming you're planning to do the inside as well? Very impressive work so far.

Oh, are you working on an Alternate version?

interested to see were this gos !

Looks just perfect, keep up the good work!

Great!

Incredibly well done! nice to see
