About Bud the Spud

"Bud the Spud" is a potato and unlike other potatos Bud is perfectly happy to remain a potato, he has no intention of becomming "Mashed Potato, French Fries, potato Chips" or anything else that takes away from his being just a plain ordinary potato.

one day Bud discovers that the "Rotten Potato" is selling off his fellow potato people to the fast food conglomorates in a mass genocide of his own people. Now this is enough to piss off any self respecting potato. And so begins Bud's adventure to find and stop the "Rotten Potato" from this dastardy most dispicable act of genocide. Bud will have no easy task as he will have many obstacles along the way, deadly toxic mud bogs to cross, attacking Worms, Potato Beetles, rogue toy Robots, food processing machines, Hibachi BB Q's and so much more.

Thus begins the concept for my indie game development project "Bud the Spud"

Bud the Spud With Jack in a Box

After a fair amount more tweaking my initial problem with the weird "Flipped Normals" of my FBX import from Max 8 into Unity 3D still unsolved I found a somewhat workable/not too bad solution (by no means permanent). What I did was use a "Transparent/Cutout/DiffuseBack" shader which I'm sure is WAY more complicated than what I actually need but at least it's showing my "Jack in a Box" head to look somewhat normal. I still have the point light inside of it tough. When I saved it into a prefab and dropped it into my Tree House scene I had to dial back the point light's intensity quite a bit but as you can see here it looks not too bad since I can't light map dynamic objects. I did however light map the tin box, lid, hinge and front tab so at least those parts appear to cast and receive shadows from the rest of the environment.

This will do until I can find a more permanent solution to the stupid "Normals being flipped" issue.
