Blackjacksike, please stop double posting
It clutters up conversations, and especially when this topic was meant to just document my progress, it displaces everything.

I donāt mean to come off as rude, but if there was any progress, I would have posted it. I will restart this project once I get a proper PC.

Update #2
Still donāt have a beefy pc (I will be getting one soon), but I have decided to keep working on assets for this cutscene. When I finally get the means to do it, I will compile all of the assets into the final scene. Below is the new and improvedā¦ HYDROTHERMAL VENT!!!

I thought you said that you would be getting a new PC soon, several weeks ago?
absolutely awesome.
Also, just here to drop in a lil thingy:
Something about universimās opening really just clicked. i feel like you could perhaps use it as a reference:

I feel this sort of opening with the galaxy ānā all has been done to deathā¦
Lets do it again!
Seriously though, the new game cutscene should be like this, whereas the intro cutscene before the menu could be atom -> dna -> cell -> animal -> tribal -> city -> planet with spaceships maybe -> the galaxy

your idea seems much better. zooming out rather than zooming in. that would be awesome!

I mean the microbe cutscene will zoom in, it makes more sense that way.
I was simply saying that the intro cutscene to the game itself (the dna thing) would work well as a zoom out

Update #3
Necro time! This is the next update of my cutscene (Iāve started working on it again!)
Iāve scrapped the previous planet, in favor of this way cooler one! It automagically creates bump for the planet texture, as well as detecting what parts should be treated like water and so should be shiny, and has a spicy atmosphere as well! Enjoy!

Update #4
Whatās this? Two updates in one day? Itās Christmas here on the Thrive forum; the next installment is the ocean simulation that the camera will dive into! It uses a color ramp that changes the color of the water based on its height (useful for simulating foam). The water here is dark and opaque, perfect for a stormy setting! PS: It kinda resembles a mountain range, but when animated it works really well!

Cool. The planet seemed a bit green to me, though. At the beginning of the game, there should not be any plants on the land.
Alright, Iāve gotten quite a few messages regarding the greenness of the planet, and I would just like to say that the planetās texture was merely a placeholder to test its bump/specular shading
Update #4 - 2
Not really a true update on itās own, but here is a fully rendered version of the simulated ocean. Its not too large, but sizeable enough that I canāt upload it on any medium. So hereās a downloadable copy! (Donāt worry, its not a rickroll.)
EDIT: Thanks to Lavathor, here is a youtube version!
