Unity versus CopperCube comparison. Not sure why but CC looks better in this case. You can still get some cool looking graphics with CC: https://youtu.be/31QYpGglvBw |

Very good. That whole "mesh-hiding" idea you mentioned is something I did back when I was working on my project. It was an apartment building with 3 floors. If you were on floor 1, floors 2 and 3 are invisible, and vice versa for all 3. It helped immensely. The one thing which is guaranteed to kill frame-rates is if you use water nodes or project videos onto 3D objects. It's a shame that video playback is so inefficient since I actually wanted to have a billboard in an outside area which had videos playing on it. That idea was nerfed after the frame-rate went down the sh!tter... |

good video. I sometimes use unreal engine and I agree - CC can do a good job (with a little effect) at keeping up. I was wondering... what happened to all the great games people were working on. j9907 - you mentioned a 3 floor apartment building. Did it get finished? maybe someday will? Robo how are things going with 'Saturn 7'. you really put a lot of work into it. Are you still making it into a game release? zoo was doing a multiplayer project. I was enjoying his work. I hated when he stopped... srfstudio was doing great work on the 'Aziella Chronicles' Just in Case 'SunnyLand Forest' was really great. John Maksym did a lot of great tutorials... anyone have any updates? What projects are currently in the works? My latest project is a medieval open world game... (not easy in CC) plus I have other projects I am still working on... |

also... you mentioned in the video you should keep the amount of memory needed to about 350 MB - but I have found if you move the main camera a little and change the view before you save, it will work o.k.... [URL=http://www.mediafire.com/view/zi0pn4n767qkq7q/quest1a.png/file][/URL] I have been over 600 MB on some projects and saved them without crashing. [URL=http://www.mediafire.com/view/31kltf1mikx4jjz/gp2.png/file][/URL] maybe will help someone... |

Good work Robo… I tried several times to use unity, but in spite of my good level of Csharp, it is very dıffıcult for me to learn. |

I hope this works the same for me as like to add more details in...:) - over 400MB...nice! Yes, I am still working on Saturn 7, its coming along quite well although bit slower that I would like....All music, most sound effects done, most 3D meshes done also, just need to outfit spaceship interiors (about 20 of them) and tweak the game engine some more.... I worked out just now a partial fix for the faceted geometry using normals in CC - will post video soon. The point lights turning on/off also was due to max 4 lights per mesh with normals so also can easy fix that easy also... |

Someone can work for a terrain editor for CopperCube ? Because the terrain editor from CCB is not very good because you can make a single plan with terrain not more plans like Unity. |

I would import height maps for a proper terrain into CopperCube - default options are terrible. With lots of trees/plants in a terrain you would need a good LOD (Level of detail) setup to change all the further away objects into smaller meshes. Even that might not work that great as CC is only 32 bit using a single core and max 2GB ram available. Thus the more basic default billboard or X configuration of 2x planes with transparent png's is much less taxing and you can cross 3 or 4 png's planes instead of 2 to look better... |

comparing unity vs cc like comparing bill gates vs me, stay realistic dont compare big company vs 1 developer |
