Caravan Sculpting

Quick update here!

The tutorial revamp with new tech is complete. I did one sound pass (many more needed), added music queues, explosions from space, changed the ending section logic to work with the new terrain mana skills, and added some other fluff in other sections to make it a better experience.

Caravan work is beginning in earnest! I built some new editor tools to alleviate some of the pain; namely, a flood fill terrain painter, a growing sphere-based sculpting tool, and a visualizer for a layer column so we can see how deep the materials really go, and what is down there.

Here are some new Caravan pics :)

That's it for now :)

2 new tracks

Did some new piano recording with the new microphone. It's not the most inspired work but it's alright:

w_tut_first_main.mp3
w_com2.mp3

Let me know if you think the recording quality is any improved. I personally think it's a lacking a bit in the bass department, so I'll adjust the mic setup next time to try and capture more of the low ranges.

Both recordings have some note misses that are obvious to me and a bit painful; not the best session I've ever had, but people tell me not to worry about that sort of thing and to record anyway :) :p
