Re: Bt Builder

https://i.postimg.cc/BQ8sdRJP/Layer-4.png My Stage works across all usable platforms, so long as you use my cameras. Also confirmed that you can adjust camera up and down, as well as depth and have a near perfect alignment with the tilesets, provided the monster animation is dead center in my Stage...

Re: Bt Builder

https://i.postimg.cc/QMY6jZty/Untitled-1.png Inadvertently fixed the issues I was having with PBR textures in iClone last night. The spider anim was 378 frames, which came out to a whopping 172mb for the file. I trimmed it down to the base keyframes (64) and it dropped down to a more manageable 30m...

Re: Bt Builder

https://i.postimg.cc/v85331vj/Layer-1.png More texture work. I added additional geo to the wall edges, to keep the mesh together when sub-dividing. There are still places, here and there, where you'll have to hand edit, but I think it may be possible to have seamless walls, and not that black line ...

Still working on the lighting problem. but put together a full tileset to test new textures. I created a seamless ceiling and floor. I think it's around 90k polys for displacement. The render was cranked up to 12 on the sub-d slider.

Re: Bt Builder

https://i.postimg.cc/LXS2MsJF/Background.png I am now working on the final build of the Tileset Kit pieces. As you can see, there are still seam issues with the horizon, mainly due to displacement, but in this event, it's from using the Sun node in an attempt to create a solution that prevents havi...
