we have a thread now

#

LOL anwyay that's cool it says $45 currently RIP

vestal dock
#

but it's not as good as you might think

#

or Idk how to use it

split hawk
#

yeah terrain is, just a tricky thing

#

Mostly it's an asset hunt

vestal dock

#

Once you have all the foliage you need, the actual terrain material tends to be simpler

#

I recommend Terrain Painter

#

it has this uhh, like. It scatters and mixes different textures well

#

Let me find it & send a pic

vestal dock
#

I've already used it

split hawk
#

oh ok. yeah i mean, u can get really far like that lol

vestal dock
#

the hardest thing for me was to find trees but I forgot I could look on other asset's website

split hawk
#

I think these are the Unity free trees

#

From their sample projects, terrain demo, etc

#

They have bushes and other stuff too

vestal dock
#

wow

split hawk
#

Not bad right? lol

vestal dock
#

yea

#

I mean the trees are okay

split hawk
#

I'm gonna re-do the ugly grass but, yeah

vestal dock
#

but the grass

#

insane

split hawk
#

Really? lol

vestal dock
#

it's looking hella realistic

#

the trees kinda look weird

split hawk
vestal dock
#

but this is with most of the free assets

#

The grass I made from that, in Blender

#

The shape is a little too distinct so, thats why I have to re-do it

#

I think the Ghosts of Tsushima "7 vertex single blade of grass" method may be better

#

Just way easier to break repetition, add variation to color or something etc

#

Plus it's easy to fake shading with AO

#

simple vertical gradient

vestal dock
#

I didn't get a thing from what u said but dont worry

split hawk
#

Trying to shade grass when you have like 1 million vertices... Screwed

#

Basically, most games fake shading on grass. There's no actual light calculating happening

#

Ambient Occlusion fakes it by making the bottom of the grass darker, real simple

#

ANyway!

#

I really recommend messing in Blender

#

I just don't want to waste time on something thatt I'll never need again

split hawk
#

Maybe it will. I don't see any popular games that are made by an AI, a person had to make all the decisions, that gamers will enjoy

#

When the AI can pump out an enjoyable Cuphead 2, then I'll give up 🥺

#

As for like a new God of War or GTA ... Yeah maybe in 20-30 years it can do that? Idk

#

It'll always be able to learn what we've done so far

vestal dock
split hawk
#

But to create new things... How can a machine do that, without taste?

#

It can certainly "make a platformer that feels like Cuphead" or something like that

vestal dock
split hawk
#

But what about "the worlds next favorite platformer" lol yeah doubt it

#

So anyway! It's a moderately deep rabbit hole to go down, but. Unless you buy nice assets yeah it's kind of a DIY situation imo

vestal dock
#

but I hope it won't be so good that humans will have to do nothing

#

I heard about the universal salary

split hawk
#

yeah it could happen

vestal dock
#

as what everyone will have the same salary

vestal dock
split hawk
#

Well, a good portion of "everyone" already kinda has the same salary

vestal dock
#

and some guys that kept sleeping 24/24 will have the same as us

split hawk
#

can afford the same cars, same groceries, etc

#

if the AI can learn all the jobs, well, we kinda want that don't we

#

Not the creative jobs, which is where the AI developers are bugging out Rn

vestal dock
split hawk
#

We need it to do laundry, change tires, etc all the simple easy to learn stuff

#

I'd like to sit around and try painting, or sculpting yeah lol

#

For some reason the people in power want it to learn how to make art and other creative stuff

#

So dumb, everyone's dream for AI was that we don't have to do basic repetive daily activities

vestal dock
#

they go further everyday, it 's like that, humans are never satisfied with what they have

#

they do that for money

#

that's why I don't want AI to take over

#

the ai's leaders will own everything

#

and there will be more corruption, less privacy

#

I'm not a pro in that topic but I'm just assuming

#

idk

split hawk
#

sounds reasonable yeah

#

Anyway! I wish you luck with the terrain

#

This is one more channel I found, this guy really flexes and goes in-depth. Seeya around!

thank you bro
