2) Is it a good idea to cut everything up in various chunks to load as you approach them in order to avoid overloading the CPU while playing? What the best way to do it?

you're suffering from a bad case of Dunning Krueger if you think you will be able to make an open world game.
Have you ever created a simple environment?

I think you are very far behind in your knowledge to be able to create an open world game, or any game if you have to question something like that.

To answer your question, you can make your grass in Blender or any program you like that can do UVs and export then import your grass to the engine.

who the fuck cares you retard? its fun to make stuff fuck off

OP here.
I'm trying to make caves by making individual models for each cave and then subtracting them from the overworld map through boolean.
Unfortunately, there's this annoying "feature" where the camera sometimes slows down when zooming towards an object, which makes it difficult to go inside and sculpt things.
How do I get rid of it?

nta but godot doesn’t have a built-in terrain creation kit, so OP must be forced to sculpt everything in blender, then import the models as solid body 3D meshes in the engine.
Given the fact he doesn’t seem very aware of memory allocation and how in-game rendering LOD works, I doubt it will work out well. But I hope he succeeds
>>935190
This looks particularly interesting and I wonder if he connected everything neatly in a vertex, or if he’s loading godot with 3D meshes loaded with large faced quads

You can use World Machine to simulate terrain which will give you a bunch of variation; you could even import a heightmap. Saying that, it doesn't do stylised stuff and it's pretty clunky so it would need a decent amount of post work for a playable area.

I think this is how they made the entirety of Steep, which is pretty funny / cheap

Anonymous at Sun, 29 Jan 2023 13:07:33 UTC No. 935284

Now I'm trying a different approach... use particle effects for terrain.
How do I merge all particles with the terrain into 1 seamless mesh?
(Also, why are the particles always rotated 90° by default instead of being straight?)

>>935276

I really hope you know what triangulation is, or you’ll be in a lot of pain
Also good luck retopologying all these quads into solid bodies meshes in Godot

I just discovered particle painting... exactly what I needed. Things should go much smoother now.
Also, it's looking better then I expected when there's a background.

>I really hope you know what triangulation is
err... maybe I do but didn't know that's how it's called...
can you elaborate pls?

Not him but basically when building a terrain you would ideally keep simple shapes because the 3D engine (any engine, from capcom’s re engine to godot) needs to divide any quad (any shape who’s made of two vertexes aka small dots in blender) into two triangles. Because 3D renderers need triangles to understand what a mesh is.
A mesh is anything that you would call a solid. That tree? A mesh. Terrain? A mesh? Etc
Because you’re building such a big and solid world, the engine system needs to convert any mesh in a bunch of triangles to convert them into what you want them to be in the game.
Godot doesn’t know what a “terriain” is because there’s no terrain system in that engine. So, every mesh you think it’s a terrain, is basically a “normal solid shape solid body” for the engine.
You would need to convert any terrain piece into a solidshape 3D, and manually create a “net” of triangles, so the engine is able to tell it’s a solid, otherwise all your terrain is a giant piece of air, and your playermodel3D would fall through it while walking.
Also you need to manually code an extension for your big map because godot doesn’t have one. You need to store LOD (level of detail) info somewhere it won’t affect the cache and maximum memory load of the engine or it won’t run, it will stutter and lag or simply but itself into a black hole.
Hope this serves as a solid basis to further expand your research on game engines.

It can be easily coded but results aren’t that good and it’s also too buggy.
Just use Ogre like Kenshi did

I think I finally found a way to make skies.
1) make texture
2) make seamless junctions
3) repeat several times in both directions
4) make a gray gradient towards both top and bottom (leave only the middle)
5) fill everything with a color gradient in "strong light" mode (or something appropriate to the texture)
unfortunately sometimes it still look stretched (see pic below)

(P.S.: the tower is supposed to be about 1000 m tall)

Will the player enter the tower for a level transition or something?
Looks like a cool concept, you should get a player character moving around in the world before building too much. Just to test the scale and get ideas.
