my gosh those settings <3


sadly blender crashed during the AO re-render and I didn’t save the textured version so… rip… but the AO version is so pretty and smooth…
Quick question, were those settings meant for Raytrace or Approximate?

neither, i’m using blender cycles for my renders.
plus the “freestyle” option for the black outlines.

O cycles, i dont use cycles.
I prefer old fashioned blender render.

I’ve been working on a “house engine” for Shard Seekers

Today I made a LoD system that removes doors and other surface objects if the house is far away:

The idea is that the house is made of surfaces that objects can be placed in, and holes are cut automatically to fit them:
Normal:


With object:

Walls and floors are both generalized as surfaces, so you could put a sideways door in your lawn that leads to the basement :stuck_out_tongue: or something cool like a skylight in your roof. Yesterday I made it so the surface can have wedges in it so I can do angled roofs (I still need to finish hole-cutting for wedges though)

What I build in studio is very simple, but I could try to make it generate asimo-esque brick walls using unions if I wanted.

The interior/exterior colors are generated automatically (I removed a beam here):


This changes depending on the LoD:

Currently this is a tool I’m going to use to build NPC homes, but I want to use this for custom player-owned houses in the future.

LOD on buildings? House that working out for ya?

I’m actually curious, but.
wouldn’t doing all the math, and swapping out the LODs cause more lag than if left it as-is?

See for yourself: Shard Seekers - Roblox

The idea is that I can have many low-overhead houses. If there are a bunch of houses with lots of objects inside, the difference will definitely be noticeable.

my home internet is too poor to even load that game ;^; i’ve tried many times

When was the last time you tried? It has a data streaming system that only replicates what the client needs. I should probably lower the map load distance and add a setting for it though.

Still needs some detail on the side but:

most recent (aside from today) a week before RDC,
but my internet fluxes a lot throughout the day,
i got on now (as you saw)
which is amazing considering this

?

I can’t remember exactly which user built this but I think it was AtmosphereO or SimulatorsX or one of the other aviation guys. He’s doing another Russian one next but I’ve gotta wait months because he’s super busy D:
