Onwards to the weekend



Sparc3D vehicle outputs. I then decimated and cut the vehicles in half so they could be instanced with a mirror modifier. The next steps: better topology. This might be a case of cut and clean, such as making those windows a single polygon, right now they're part of the model's dense triangulated mesh. 

AI Sloppy? Maybe, but they are amazing starting points.

A quick terrain test. I'll never be able to stop this... Terrain addict, I am. I whipped this up in about half an hour, but then spent a couple of hours struggling to add some scatter. There were crashes!

 Next Steps

  • Back to the environmental training course. Two lessons today.
  • Tidy up assets and build some more:
        Lighting rig
        Cargo container 
        Oil Drums and crates
        Portable huts and a gatehouse.
