DTAC Terrain Development

Link to DTAC Hires Trees with no grass textures for current tree models. This is the best I can do for now until I get some tools and assistance from ED.

INSTRUCTIONS : Back up the .zip files mentioned below before you do anything (if you have backed up once prior to initially modifying these files then this all that is required). Place each season texture in its proper .zip file. Located in the C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bazar\Terrain\vfstextures. When asked to replace and overwrite do so.

Interesting - more info please :)

Custom EDM models /w high textures...

Not SDK :)

Looks pretty enough for an FPS!

I imagine there's either some aggressive scaling with distance or pretty poor performance?

New Terrain feature from Nevada ;)

great

Actually there will be a couple of different options...Close to default spec. for performance, and muscle rig settings, for horse power. Everyone can get a piece...lol

Rocky, throw a look at the FPS right near your grass surfaces if you are using many of them in the DCS Engine ;).

For what game is it?

That looks brilliant , but Im not sure if flying at 300 kts , you need that much detail .

The trees in the Nevada screenshot have a single dominant green shade, even the tree trunk is green ... They do seem to have shadows though.

More information please!

I am remodeling the tree lines and forests for all seasons.

I have eliminated symmetrical ugliness and added variety in the trees.

Better blending of the trees for faster rigs (looks a lot better).

Texture enhancements have been made to add depth and fullness ( tree lines are much more lush looking).

Looking for testers soon... as I have a low end rig, FPS performance testing will be needed by a spectrum of systems.

I would be happy to test.

Does any one know if the current grass at low level has a model name?

That scenery looks excellent rockwelder. Did you create the trees yourself? use a tool (eg. SpeedTree)? or is there a library out there with tree textures?

I'm curious since I'm looking at generating tree textures myself.

Bazar/Terrain/Structures/SmallShit/grass.blk ? :megalol:

Yes I found that too, but what will export to that? .blk is not open for edit or use yet...Love the name :)

XFROG and C4D to render the tree models. Modeled the in game tree models out of planes in 3dmax...
