Here is a topic that will follow the development of the Playground map that i'm making as a test for all the features of the engine.

http://gritengine.svn.sourceforge.net/v ... layground/

The issue on the list of the issue, to see what stuff it is involved with:

Issue 62
(look the issues it is related with too)

I will post in the topic with pics or commentaries and I will link to them from the first post to keep this tidy. You can comment and critice I will break your face, very welcome!

Untextured for now until the Texture blending is finished

_________________

texture blending by vertex color, yeaah!

_________________

Looking great! At least we won't need to create new textures for blending. Now just create tutorial how to do that.

fixed some stuff. sharpness is important too, I still have to see how to really make it different...




will do a tutorial when we fix some stuff.. that might be soon!

_________________

Last shots now looks really good, what about some 'real' grass? I mean not just plain texture so it looks more 3D

yeah, procedural placement of grass patches is planned it will be done on the tcol, like GTA does.

_________________

we have roads





if you spotted the dirt in the road is more glossy than the dirt in the terrain YES they are using different spec maps. fun too, the one in the terrain is generated with specfromdiffuse making it interestingly hard to find the correct specmap for the dirt in the road. f*ck!

I like what I see JostVice, nice work and keep it up m8.

tiny updates



note the plane is a free model, the terrain is unfinished (so you can see the sky's bottom) there is no vegetation and the airport is white!

Looks great Jost, liking it a lot! Tell me, what methods do you use to create such a terrain?

i move vertexes


PS. I work from a plane, start extruding edges and that and creating loops and adjusting. the hills models aren't perfect and i want to revisit them at some day.

Ok, so like creating with a plane with a lot of width and length divisons, then moving the lines themselves?

The hills look great to me by the way

i usually create a plane without any segments, then it is all to select a edge, press shift and move the egde (extrudes it)

then select edges to connect em (adds a loop)

repeat repeat, i model everything like that, but rocks are hard, there are a few tutorials on the tut topic

Cool, well, that's a different approach to how I would have tried, but I think I'll give it a go .

Behold the powers of edge extrusion and loop selection

more updates?

Coming soon, throw something in

got a base for the airport, the textures are still placeholders. just discovered overdraw is indeed expensive, costed 10 fps to have polies under the airport base! they are now deleted
