New Smooth Terrain materials

zeuxcg · April 28, 2016, 5:16am

7 new smooth terrain materials are live!

Please note that they are currently live on desktop (Windows, OSX), but it will take an extra week or two for them to ship on mobile (iOS, Android) and console (Xbox One) platforms. If you try to use these materials on those platforms right now they will look and shape like grass. So if you’re planning to update your games to use these, check that they have been released on the platforms your game supports first.

EDIT: They are now live across the board (on all mobile/desktop/console platforms)

Nice! Really like the cobblestone one!

Oh my… This is perfect

You should probably optimize terrain first before adding more materials, since low-end pcs are forced into graphics 1 with terrain.

More materials do not have impact on performance and graphics 1 was pretty much designed to have low-end PCs forced into it.

Awesome! Any ETA on new joints? <3

Oh, two months.

I’ll be ready for them when they come, then

“Upper bound” != “ETA”

ScriptOn · April 28, 2016, 5:37am

Wait are they out? x.com

zeuxcg · April 28, 2016, 5:38am

iWait

TigerCaptain · April 28, 2016, 5:38am

Yup, with some more fun stuff added with it.

ScriptOn · April 28, 2016, 5:39am

PLS CLEAR ANSWER!11!!1!

pls

TigerCaptain · April 28, 2016, 5:40am

iWait probably implies Apple’s waiting time for approval.

ScriptOn · April 28, 2016, 5:40am

OH!

Ok so it’s on desktop? My jimmies are so ready to make a tank.

TigerCaptain · April 28, 2016, 5:41am

I just got the update, and messing around with it.
Although I’m currently clueless on how to make it work at the moment.

ScriptOn · April 28, 2016, 5:42am

Someone posted a thread earlier that showcases them. If you can find it you’re golden.

zeuxcg · April 28, 2016, 5:43am

The types are all there but the simulation is disabled because we’re waiting for other platforms to get them. If we don’t then the moment somebody joins the game from mobile bad things start to happen to the simulation.

Patience (or go build on gametest1)

TigerCaptain · April 28, 2016, 5:47am

Yeah, I was wondering if that was the case. I’m really looking forward to this, is there an estimated time when Apple approves of the update?
