Version 5.2 is up and running (again). This is not a huge update but it has some important new elements to it. Because I'm feeling lazy, please enjoy the updates in bullet point list form:
- Upgrade to Unity 3.5. Because this version is new, you may need to update your WebPlayer. It's quick and easy. Get it here.
- Using the recently acquired JIYI blueprints, the track path has been completely replaced. There is now an architecturally accurate track (with rails), track pit, emergency egress path, and multiple show platforms. This update required me to move a whole lot of walls. What you'll see inside does not really indicate the amount of work that went into it.
- There are now properly scaled (though not always properly placed) placeholder characters throughout the ride.
- The Flight of the Imagination scene is a little more interesting to look at. The Dreamport and Science scenes have a little bit of progress too. Remember, you can hit "W" and walk around if you don't want to wait for the ride.
- (Simple) special FX in the ride!!!
- Tons of optimization of the models thanks to some pretty cool Sketchup plug-ins. I've also started the long process of breaking down the model into smaller parts for better culling in Unity. This will be an ongoing thing that should continue to improve quality over time. I'll introduce this in parts as I keep adding to the model. If I try to do it all at once, I'll lose my mind.
