Screw the media. They can flap their lips all day but the next day they'll always be talking about something else and completely forget yesterday.

It's all about clicks.

We can all think that but no corporation would risk losing even a dollar over it.

I seriously doubt they would lose a lot of sales. Maybe from a few soccer moms buying their sweet little johnny his birthday present but as for the average gamer that purchases their own games they won't give a damn.

Anyway best to move this chat to off-topic

Looking good man. What software you using? @66Lost99

Nvm saw it TreeIT

http://www.evolved-software.com/treeit/treeit

I'll dl it too and see if I can create some acacias

Needs more branches

Looks nice

First map I'm going to reuse one of the afghan maps. Delete all the afghan buildings and out of place foliage. Add baobabs and acacias and african huts and buildings

Yip, had a lot of branches, but took them out, looked to cluttered (don't know how to much detail will affect fps) but ja A.D.D is getting the better of me

Another though I had was that it would be a better way to add leaves, to hide the lack of branches. But it doesn't work like that, need more branches for all those leaves ;/

@66Lost99 It depends on how many polygons the tree has. You can have a lot of branches provided they're low res.

If you look at some of the trees in squad the smaller branches are 2d

LODs are also a factor. The further away the tree the less branches and detail needed

Cool, add branches back in, and yes it looks better already ;) still having a problem with the leaves, but will see

I see there is mapscape as well

I wonder if I can export height maps from it to the SDK

I think I did download it to my pc, but never opened it.

Lol, I think my tree is ready for the troopers mod

Have you imported it into the SDK?

Interesting when I tried to run the exe

it said windows protected your pc

dafuq...

Who needs protection... Switch it all off (jokes) my sdk is out of date and data is a bitch in moz. I can send it to you somehow?

I downloaded the zip version instead

no need to install that one

Depends how big the file is

if its over 8mb then it won't go through discord

Aha that's what I did

watching this tut for now

Paste it into trees folder, think it will work

It's got to be scaled to the right size

I'm watching that tutorial. A few things have to be tweaked in blender for it to work right in UE4

Slowly but surely getting used to the new blender. Just taking some time for my brain to remap the shortcuts. I keep stuffing up here and there trying to use old shortcuts that do something either completely different or nothing at all 😱

I do miss the ctrl + alt + shift + c shortcut to set origin/cursor as I used it a lot. Now it's shift + s then comes up with a radial menu blablablabla I'll get used to it. 😉

Anyway While looking through my reference images I noticed the police version of the Casspir has speakers on them. I thought I'd model them in as an option. Might not make it into the final model though.

But hell would it be funny if you could play any music of your choice over those speakers while driving over the enemy players. The song that came to my head upon imagining that moment was Ride of the Valkyries.

I also spent some time renaming parts as I had a shit ton of parts named cube, torus, cylinder and so on. Difficult to know what is what without names.
