Awesome! I am looking forward to it

Hi

I'm trying to use these beautiful assets with no success. I would appreciate if someone could provide a screen shot of the folder structure with these assets located in the correct folder.

I would love to use these assets with my students for their project. I know how to import a veg file but I'm still doing something wrong.

Thx

Nick

Hello mate. I have info in the help documents that might help, I'm guessing you read the readme?

What exactly is going wrong? are the materials not showing up correctly? or is something else happening?




All my releases are on a permanent hold until further notice, as I have a small window to work on my game till its presentable. and all my side projects are stopping until I've completed my trailer.

Sorry, I may at some point just release what I have done so far in an odds and end pack, or if you guys are patient enough, end of this month or start of next.


Please though, I would love to see your guy's stuff despite the delay's. and this will help keep the topic in view so that people wont miss out on the assets that are released

Thanks guys! have fun and be creative!

Can't get them to find the materials and here's why:





This is just for the Spruce trees, I haven't checked the others. Downloaded from the datafilehost.com link on page 17.

I think the old spruce dont exist anymore in the new update,
the current Material is "Spruce_ABC_Extreme" too

Well I was going to leave them for people that still liked em. For the bark kridian use the bark that the Fur uses. Im not sure how I missed that one.

But what Chicken said, Im seriously confounded how I missed this. :/

Do you think the textures and the Mtl fix is worth a hotfix? I can just post it alongside the build download.

That Spruce_ABC_Extreme.mtl opens to this:



In fact, now that I'm looking at every piece of from the pack (loaded via the .veg file), none of the materials are linked so that doesn't make sense if the directory structure is intact(?)

Chicken, how the hell did you get the pack and not have these things unlinked?

My Spruce folder for what it's worth:

What the!! well for one thing the multi-material isn't present for that. Which is very odd, I dont know if chicken had any issues with it. Im guessing not.

Your directory is correct, and I see the right branches in your texture folder. But is it just that tree type thats giving you issues? are the Fur Trees giving you issues as well?

dont know what the problem is, all is working fine

btw i have not imported the .veg ...

Hmmm, I wonder if its possible then his issue is due to the .VEG. might have had some type of conflict somewhere with his SDK.

I will look into that, and see if I can recreate it when I have the time. Perhaps later today.

Whoah! Ok, the only thing I did from yesterday is install the new AMD drivers (12.2 WHQL) and reboot. Today I manually placed the foliage and whamo! Instantly see the materials are attached... except for the mountainlaural_bush, but I linked it up with its diffuse texture easily enough. Good to go! That was... interesting.



*Edit*
Now that I think about it, after the reboot my hd did a little optimizing or something as it took a few minutes to get to the desktop. Maybe it defragged the alpine pack? It doesn't make sense that a driver would correct this. Thinking out loud.

That is very odd, im glad its fixed. For whatever reason it was going badly its good that its worked itself out. though its gonna drive me nuts trying to figure out why. hehe

And that also reminds me that I forgot to color correct all the plants before I released the pack! DOH!!
Oh well, thats easy enough for the initiated

Dont forget to post your work with em here Kridian. I look forward to seeing it.

Hi

Thanks for the help. I now have access to these amazing assets.

Thx

Question, are you going to implement LODs?

@:Johnny Guitar:

Eventually, the LOD system is still bunked in the current builds of the FreeSDK. Even with LOD's just inside the .CGF

Once that is fixed I will release a version with LOD's released.

For now it works perfectly if you adjust the SpriteDistRatioCustomMin to .1 and use closer rendered sprites. Its worked almost flawlessly for me, and most others that try it for now.

@candi444:

Im happy to hear that mate
Dont forget to post what you have done with it here.
