finally bought WMstandard and enjoying the process of learning this app. here’s a few questions & requests. other folks have probably asked for these as well so my apologies in advance.
is WM capable of doing boulder & rock-like structures/landscapes? with cracks and all? what device would you use?
request - ability to output a 3D mesh w/ settings to input poly counts, etc.
request - w/ #2 an ability to output a normal map to apply to a lower density mesh
request - to paint the deformations/cracks/etc directly on the landscape
Not quite sure what you mean here; you mean like adding boulders or a rock field to a landscape? The main problem with doing this in WM is a lack of resolution; rocks are a pretty fine-scale item that are hard to capture in a heightfield without using a very high detail. Nonetheless people have done it, and it looks pretty damn good from a distance. If you want something close up you’re going to need to add individual 3D meshes or something similar to represent the rocks.
This is coming.
This is already implemented in the upcoming WM Pro.
Well, GeoControl basicly has a brush. It has that square thing that let’s you somehow paint inside that square… Almost if painting an image one pixel at a time… it’s not exactly a photoshop-style brush that you can move arround and paint…
