Thyme is in the process of teaching me some seamless 3d techniques for creating bones animations and exporting them to Hanim and/or setbyvertexTransform. He started from scratch with my perch and made an example that he saved to a smls file. I was able to export both formats of animation and the setbyvertex was my preferred method for this type of project. I was able to export the gzipped file to 5.4kb. the earlier version that exported as coordinateInterpolators was 15.9kb. That is a huge savings on file space as well as the fact that this wont require nearly as many resources to accomplish.

I am still working on level 5 of my game but also building additional content to fill it with. One of the recent additions is some flying critters to place randomly in the world. Below is a link to view it in single mode 3D.

All the instances in this scene are created from a butterfly proto i made.they have an inertial animation as well as a clickable animation.

Level 5 has reached assembly stage. I have all the main components done and am starting the arduous task of assembling it now. The water features, which are utilizing a combination of multitexturing, animations and particles turned out pretty nicely and it is probably the best I have ever done. I am happy with it though it may get some tweaks and/or optimizations before I am finished.

I have alot of various protos to add now such as various plant and tree types. Also a few critters will be found inhabiting the land. Level 5 isn't so much of a game anymore but the destination after escaping from the catacombs. I wanted to create a really beautiful environment that people would enjoy spending time in as a reward for the hassle I put them through just to get there. LOL

There will be only one final test on this level but it is a fun one and it can't kill you or mangle, smash or drown you.
At the end of that final event, full navigation will be restored and then everyone will be free to explore this wonderous landscape with full freedom.
