@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 Switch it all off (jokes) my sdk is out of date and data is a bitch in moz.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.
Changed the rear wheels as per reference
Will do some more modeling after dinner. And try to get the Discord streaming to work properly so you all can watch.
@everyone I'm live
Can watch the stream but only up to 10 people I believe.
on
