05/02/21 DEV_LOG - New update is coming!
🕑 Added 2021-02-05 18:01:02 +0000 UTCHi! I’m going to start making this dev_logs to share in Patreon all the progress! I’ve been doing it on Discord, but I figured this way the Patreon page doesn't seem so empty.
First of all, NAPP 2.4 is coming! The release will be this Sunday, February 7th.
For this update I’ve been working on some tricky but satisfying blocks:
- Crying obsidian! Based on the classic NAPP obsidian texture, I went for a stylized break on the sides, from where a mysterious purple goo oozes from the cracks. I was happy with the results but I figured animating the color map on that strange goo would be a nice touch. Is very subtle but if you look closely, you can see a flowing animation and color variation on the cracks. I also edited a little bit the current obby so the two of them match perfectly side by side.
- Portal animation! Very tricky one. The final result I managed to get is kind of sloppy, but I dont think in a bad way. The thing with animating in Minecraft is that each frame adds to the atlas texture, which adds more weight to the performance, so I can only use many frames. With a 32x pixel density is not a problem but once you go HD is pretty noticeable. But I think the final result has a lot of personality, and I personally learned to love it.
- Soul sand! I had previously made a soul sand texture, but I wasn’t quite happy with the result so I put it in the drawer. The new one is based on the old one, but now the sand looks more clean and has more variation, the colors are more accurate and the overall aesthetics match better the vanilla feel.
- Soul soil! This one is made side by side with the soul sand so the edges of both merge seamlessly. It is in the same color palette and if you look it from the distance, you can't guess if it is the vanilla texture or the HD one (which I think is pretty cool)
I will be working on taking some renders on the new blocks as usual!
Also, hi to all the new people! This has been pretty crazy, the FernFox video has gone viral again, and tons of new foes are appearing everywhere, and i couldn't be more happy! So many people in fact that the web went down, which we had to painfully fix over an entire day
For all the new people, first of all thank you very much for joining the community, and downloading the pack! remember to check the #🛠instructions🛠 channel in the discord community to get the perfect config, the 3d blocks, etc.
Your support means the world for me, either you downloaded the free pack from the web, or you are a patreon supporter, you are just a 3d enthusiast checking the project, or you are just passing by, thanks with all my heart!!!

in a few minutes!!
I can't wait for 2.4!
Oh, I don't doubt it would be a hassle. I just had one of those moments I wanted to throw money at something for immediate gratification ;)

Oh i wish, but the trouble of getting all the 3d models from the displacement maps, finding the way to print and color them, etc... would take too much time for now, and i want to focus on the main thing for now:)

Thanks!!:)
Thanks man! Appreciate the speedy reply, keep at it, you're to only HD pack I like so far with rtx shaders. Is it possible to use POM with seus PTGI shaders?

yeah! im working on the ores already! for the next update those would be ready
All of these look beautiful but a suggestion for what to do next is nether gold ore and nether quartz ore so we can have all the ores textured. Just a suggestion.
You need to find a place that will manufacture real versions of these blocks that could sit on people's desks... May or may not collect them all :D
I love how that looks
