trunk is fine

2019-10-07 19:55:52 UTC  

but branches are a bit weird

2019-10-07 19:56:16 UTC  

Where'd you find that? Or did you make it yourself?

2019-10-07 20:03:35 UTC  

Made it, but will have to start from scratch... LOST IT!! lol

2019-10-07 20:04:03 UTC  

Damn

2019-10-07 20:04:11 UTC  

Made in speedtree?

2019-10-07 20:07:35 UTC  

That costs money 😬... No. I am a cheap skate when it comes to things like that 😂

2019-10-07 20:08:40 UTC  

Tree it

2019-10-07 20:12:07 UTC  

I have thousands of boababs around me, I think I should get some photos before I try this again

2019-10-07 20:14:38 UTC  

Was gonna do a 3d scan, but I don't think it would work

2019-10-07 20:26:07 UTC  

OK so I do still have some pics... I was way off

2019-10-07 22:41:21 UTC  

@66Lost99 your first attempt isn't bad though hey

2019-10-07 22:41:54 UTC  

That's far cry 2's baobab

2019-10-07 22:42:05 UTC  

God I loved Far Cry 2

2019-10-07 22:43:33 UTC  

Ja FC2 was lekker though the constant respawning enemies was a bit much! But I loved the setting. FC series really should revisit it...

2019-10-07 22:46:31 UTC  

Nope, they'd get too much flak because it's not white people or random arabs being killed, and that's racist in the media's eyes.

2019-10-07 22:47:53 UTC  

Eh maybe or they just don't feel like returning to that setting yet.

2019-10-07 22:50:10 UTC  

Probably, but after the media got on them for not saying 'white man bad' in Far Cry 5 I can tell you there's no way they'd risk the media crucifying them on a return to Africa.

2019-10-07 22:51:28 UTC  

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.

2019-10-07 22:51:39 UTC  

It's all about clicks.

2019-10-07 22:51:51 UTC  

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

2019-10-07 22:53:11 UTC  

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.

2019-10-07 22:53:46 UTC  

Anyway best to move this chat to off-topic

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

2019-10-08 07:54:24 UTC  

Nvm saw it TreeIT

2019-10-08 07:55:27 UTC  

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

2019-10-08 07:56:03 UTC  

Needs more branches

2019-10-08 07:56:07 UTC  

Looks nice

2019-10-08 07:57:39 UTC  

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

2019-10-08 08:11:25 UTC  

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

2019-10-08 08:17:38 UTC  

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 ;/

2019-10-08 08:35:18 UTC  

@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

2019-10-08 08:35:46 UTC  

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

2019-10-08 08:40:28 UTC  

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

2019-10-08 08:43:05 UTC  

I see there is mapscape as well

2019-10-08 08:43:27 UTC  

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