Unity asset store.

It's a game engine platform, it allow you to make games and ppl are selling their assets on asset store.

Not sure if u can use those files format.

unity definitely can do that, but how good are you ?

an example what unity can do



you dont need to do up to that level, even 1% of that already good enough d. technically running the "game" is equal to playing the movie, its rendered real time. you can use any recording software to record it to any format.

no no no, you dont "develop a full game", developing a full game is too much if all you need is a movie.

a full game require things like
input(how user control the character), menu, save/load game, dynamic logic(when you jump, gravity pull you down), storyline, different scene(ie battle/shop/game map)

you dont need all shit like that.

all you need is basic knowledge of movement, camera, animation

ie you purchase a character with all the basic movement(rigging), then you purchase or draw your own background, or use skybox, when the "game" start load the skybox and scene, code to tell the character to use "walking" animation(then it will just constantly waking, but coordinate wont change), you use code to change the coordinate of that character from a to b, then you tell the camera to move, and keep looking at the character.

technically its a fixed game, with no menu, no input, everything will just happen like what you coded, you dont need to think of "what if user do this" cause its not really a game, all you need is a movie, fixed content.

yes that require programming, but technically its HELL ALOT easier than making a real game, cause you dont need "IF", its like a flowchart only 1 straight line of actions, no choice, start do this, do this, do this, finish.

then you run the "game" record, movie done.

I believe this has alot of potential, as things will become so easy after you "slightly" mastered it, and the output is SO DAMN good if you know how to use good lighting, nice model, effect, etc.

Rigging (animating a character) is difficult, but many assets you purchase should already have basic movement animation, they should have things like walk run attack jump land etc. but if you need special action like grab a cup of water and drink, you will need to DIY.




Btw those background, you almost dont need any effort at all, just drag them in. if you draw, i guess you need months.

Im making games myself, if you decided to choose this path, let me know, we might able to work together in the future.

im not pro in that area, you really need to spend your own time and effort into it when what you need is way more than what normal ppl able to offer. if the asset your purchase has "hand" as a single entity, then you will not be able to animate finger, it really depends on the asset, cause all these assets are for ppl to make games, not many games require you to animate "finger".

like game starcraft, or diablo, you cant have in depth control of each character. cause pc has a limit how much it can render at a time, you cant have so much detail when you have like few hundreds of them fighting, CPU and GPU unable to handle(maybe different story, 10 years from now)

look at the amount of polygon or triangles to estimate their quality(usually when somebody selling 3d model will specify), the higher the triangle or polygon, you will need more powerful gpu, or u can render at reduced speed, ie 1% of real time(at 0.6 fps), then after recording speed up 100x.

honestly, im not really a pro when it comes down to that level, im a programmer, i just know something like this available, how to get it or do it, i dont know.

plus, i know some chinese anime uses technique like that to make fighting scene, and its so smooth, real and pro.

I believe what you describe is the job of a 3d graphic designer, and those things you want to modify is the "skin"

the chinese anime should be 星辰变, behind certain episode sometimes they have the "making" scene.

ive not, i have no art skill, so i never venture into that direction, however you can ask around, im sure there are things like that out there, i guess many of those cartoon are done that way. You can join unity discord group and ask in the group, or any 3d modelling group.
