How do we bring SAE to life for you? Here is how: The Stingray

How do we bring SAE to life for you? Here is how we bring the Stingray in the Game!



Welcome to a different sort of update! In this update we will introduce you to our latest creation, the Stingray, and give you a glimpse into the development of such animals. Stay tuned!

Manta or Stingray?


About three weeks ago, we were wondering how we could animate the oceans more in our game SAE. That's when I came across one of our favorite animals: The stingray and the manta ray. After some careful consideration, we decided to use the stingray because it has a wider range and more exciting behaviors than the manta ray. So let's get to it - enjoy the following insights!

The poster is in A3 format (29.7 x 42.0 cm). Printed on high-quality, 250g/m2, glossy photo paper with vivid colors and crisp details. Our posters are sure to make a statement wherever they're displayed. You too can decorate your room with a stingray!

Step 1: What does a stingray look like in real life?


When the rough model is finished, smooth the surface - in Blender with Modifiers - and sculpt the finer details, such as the eye sockets. First, we look for as many sources as possible to create an accurate model of the stingray. This involves looking at and reading a lot of pictures, videos and articles.

Step 2: The rough shape


The next step is to create a (very) rough model in 3D software. The following scheme is used when creating 3D models: From rough to fine. You start as rough as possible and add more and more detail over time.




Step 3: Smooth and sculpt the surface


When the rough model is finished, smooth the surface - in Blender with Modifiers - and sculpt the finer details, such as the eye sockets.




Step 4: Adding the skeleton


In order to add animations, a skeleton must be added to the model. These bones must then be assigned to the appropriate body parts.

Step 5: The textures


What else do you need? Right, the textures! Again, first rough, then more and more detailed. Then you need a normal map and a roughness map, which can create artificial roughness and shine.



Now we're done with the model. But that doesn't mean the stingray is happy swimming around in the water!

Step 6: Creating animations


This step is particularly time-consuming (and nerve-wracking!). Each bone has to be animated individually. Everything has to fit together. And in the end, it has to look realistic. You can find two videos of the animations here.

Step 7: Behavior, movement and reactions


We have come so far, but there is still so much missing. The animal's behavior still needs to be implemented in the game. This takes about 50% of the total time and is also the most boring part. First, you have to research the behavior of stingrays. Are they solitary or social? Are they aggressive or peaceful? At what depths do they live? What special behaviors can be observed? These and other questions need to be answered before you can get the behavior right. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stingray

Prepare to embark on an extraordinary adventure in SAE, where you'll find yourself marooned on a pristine tropical island chain in the heart of the South Pacific. The beauty of these remote islands is nothing short of mesmerizing, with lush jungles, crystal-clear waters, and expansive skies that stretch to the horizon. But this apparent paradise holds secrets far darker and more treacherous than you can imagine.




This island chain is the very embodiment of paradise, with its warm, golden beaches, dense rainforests, and abundant wildlife. Yet, as you'll swiftly discover, appearances can be deceiving. Nature here is wild and untamed, with a wealth of dangers lurking in every corner. From venomous sea urchins in the shallow water to cunning predators stalking their prey, and enigmatic creatures that haunt the moonlit nights, the islands are rife with potential perils.




To survive, you'll need to tap into your most primal survival instincts. Collecting resources, crafting essential tools, and building rudimentary shelters will become your daily routine. Mastery over fire-making will not only provide warmth and light but also a defense against lurking threats. You'll set ingenious traps to secure your next meal and adapt to the ever-changing challenges of island life.




As you delve deeper into your struggle for survival, you'll uncover hidden secrets and wonders that these islands hold. Intricate cave systems wind through the heart of the archipelago, hiding untold mysteries and valuable resources. Venturing beneath the turquoise waves, the breathtaking underwater world reveals its treasures, but it's also home to its own set of enigmatic creatures and submerged secrets.




Your ultimate goal is to unlock the secrets of the archipelago, decipher its mysteries, and find a way back to the comforts of civilization. The question remains: Can you navigate the challenges of this idyllic yet perilous paradise and make your escape, or will you become a permanent resident of these exotic but ruthless islands?




SAE is a gripping and intense survival adventure that should captivate both seasoned survival enthusiasts and newcomers to the genre. Are you ready to face the untamed beauty and unforgiving challenges of this tropical wilderness? Your journey begins now.
