I really need to finish more projects. I have 3dRealms syndrone.

I thought I heard someone suggest in on here in the past. I'm glad it really speeds up the process

Wont let me attach it properly. Here is the WTD.

Switched to a 1024^1024 terrain.
I want to make a level now! Heh. Got to come up with a story first though.

Prolly, but the inside space isn't optimized there yet. I wanted the triangles to be small for details. It's either a 2048^2048 landscape or a 4096, I cant remember.

With the 8 bit bmp heightmap. In an image editor I select all the areas outside of player space and blur it a lot. Then import to TresEd. Works pretty good.

Export the terrain to max, import your original unblurred 16 bit heightmap. Gets the detail perfect.

Can anyone else help me with the trigger setup if I make a small demo map with a crate?

Has anyone ever attempted to make a destroyable crate? In my limited experience with physics objects they seem to sort of slide. So maybe a collision indentation to hold the top of the crate in place?

I've experimented with importing a smaller bmp to TresEd then adding tessellation in 3dsmax and applying a higher res bmp as a displacement.

I don't know how to properly re-tesselate the terrain after running a pro optimizer to get rid of geomadd conversion glitches. I have an idea on this though now... I'll look into it. Might involve exporting and importing a second time. The best way I know is to just optimize it patch by patch in Tre...

Yea, It takes a lot of time to optimize after importing the terrain so I didn't feel the need. Its ok to use this as a base.

I hope this one works.

I wasn't happy with this for a level but decided to release it anyway as a sort of demo for people to just explore/walk around. It isn't optimized or anything but will still run fast as its an empty map. I got a little better at drawing landscapes in the Unreal engine with this so I'm happy ;). http...

Is there any idea of making the player model more accurately project shadows? I've been doing a play through of the game and thought this might be neat. I cant think of a way to make the arm project shadows though. Without a exe edit.

You'll notice tiling is greatly decreased using 3x3 tessellated terrain objects everywhere. I think I have to keep all terrain objects at the default scale because of glitching someone mentioned. But it can still get rid of tiling in the distance. You just have a lot more textures to represent each ...
