Hi Guys,
It was just reported by PM that there is a minor bug in the 'T3D Material Manager' window. When you make changes to the second material in the list, the changes will be lost if you select another material from the list. To make changes to the second material, you have to edit this material last, and then press the 'OK' button. Alternatively, you can edit the material manually, or in T3D. A fix will be included in the next update. Best regards, Aaron.
Torque X 3DHi Arron,
Another torquey! Please send me the plugin link, Thank you
@kerry
I saw you fantastic result here. Could you tell your L3DT and T3D values? I tried and tried and all my terrains becomes either jagged or has terrible blurred looking textures. It would be a really good help for me (and maybe others) to know how to achieve such good results. Thank's Roland
After some initial tests I'd like to start off by making a little request. Could you make it so you don't have to export a material.cs file? Or is this option already present?
The thing is, I have T3D material files of my own made so it's always coming up asking to merge the .cs files and the window to assign the textures, etc. All I need it to do is to assign the material names and export the terrain, all the texture handling is completely unneeded for me and really just adds extra steps to set the extra data somewhere where it won't overlap with my own. Unless there's a way to do this already? Anyhow, doing some testing right now. My first test came back rather odd, my height scale seemed quite a bit off, everything being far too high. Will look into this more... Edit: Heightscale is definitely off, seems to be about 2.9 times too high, at least that's the closest I could approximate it. I'm using an older build of T3D, downloading the latest version now, I'll do some testing with that.
Tested with the newest version of T3D, still off. However I looked at the height ranges both in L3DT and in the log file for the export and I found something interesting... The exported height is approx 3.28 times too big.
I then tried something else which was make a terrain with a much steeper range that what I'd been doing. It came up with the message saying that the terrain exceeded T3D's limit of 2048 feet and asked if I wanted to resize the map. The problem with that is Torque's units is in meters, not feet. You have the plugin converting from meters to feet it seems.
Hi dEaThMaStEr,
Thanks for your feedback. I've added an option to bypass exporting the material files, and I'm now working on the scaling issue. I did indeed have the exporter converting values to feet, for reasons I honestly can't quite recall. I've now removed this, but there now seem to be other scaling issues to be resolved. I'm testing now in T3D, and I'll let you know when I have a new build ready. Best regards, Aaron.
Hi dEaThMaStEr,
The updated plugin is now available here: http://www.bundysoft.com/L3DT/downloads/plugins/bin/L3DTio_TorqueTER-bin.zip To install the updated plugin, extract it from the zip archive and copy it over the existing file at: C:\Program Files\Bundysoft\L3DT [version]\Extensions The changes in this plugin are:
Here is an example of the output in T3D, using a 512x512 pixel terrain with a 2048x2048 base texture DDS, and no detail maps: This update will be included in the 3rd beta release of L3DT v2.8 in the next couple of days, once I've re-checked its scaling behaviour in TGE and TGEA. Best regards, Aaron.
