mikebart 1 Posted January 16, 2011 Well I havent gotten around to writing any more tutorials like i said i would, so instead i'd like to provide the next best thing for those interested. Im releasing all mlod's of objects made and used for Mana Island NZ for people to learn from and edit so long as credit is given. Download mb_mlods.rar for more information on objects visit: http://dev-heaven.net/projects/mb-veg and http://dev-heaven.net/projects/mb-rocks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bushlurker 45 Posted January 16, 2011 Wow! Thanks mike!! Thats really generous of you! I'll certainly be having a very close look at your rocks models! - I'm just approaching the hand-placed rocks and trees stage and I was considering having a go at making some rocky "surfaces"... Just noticed an updated Mana as well! I'll have to go have a look at how you've been placing them... the screenshot looks almost photographic! Quality work mate!

mikebart 1 Posted January 16, 2011 it was a fiddly job placing the rock ledges, I wish there was a more automated way to place them, basically ive put a red line on the top and bottom edges of the mesh to be used as a guide, if you can see the red line then the rock ledge isnt sealed against the terrain and needs adjusting. It would be great if we could place rock ledges like roads, it wouldnt take long to make up the different segments, although im not sure it would work.

Gnome_AS 10 Posted January 18, 2011 Excellent, very much appreciated Mike! Wasn't very long ago I was having a conversation with Bushlurker regarding your rock ledges. This sorts all of that pretty well :D . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebart 1 Posted December 3, 2011 sorry about the lack of updates, given there still some issues that need to be fixed, I havent had alot of time to work on Arma related stuff lately. Im just posting to provide a link to mb_rocks .rvmat's and source .psd's, I didnt realise the .rvmats werent being extracted from the .pbo. The source .psd's can be usefull for editing the rock ledges _mc map to match up with your islands satalite image without losing other details included in the _mc map. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6NZQT1EA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robster 11 Posted December 3, 2011 We really appreciate your work Mr. Bartlett! It would be awesome if you might give us some little lesson/advice about how to deal with bushes and trees rvmats, alpha channels, modeling, and the best way to approach distance resLODs... Anyways, I say thanks again cause your work has been an inspiration for many of us... and lately I became obsessed with making some natural objects following your footsteps, just to keep enjoying this hobby as much as I have enjoyed Mana among other beautiful maps...
