Sketch Tool

[Marcus]

Let me preface this with saying, I'm not a fan of Gar(b)ageGames in any way shape or form. I will say that they have a great feature they just added to Torque3D. It would be awesome for level designers to flesh out something playable. I really think it is awesome. Basically, it allows you to model in a similar way that Sketchup does. Here is a video:

I think Josh was considering adding some basic CSG editing support to the editor, not sure what he finally decided, or if he has yet.

Very impressed with video, as a non artist I'm a fan of the sketchup type interface.

I feel like CSG is a requirement for any mapping editor. You don't want your level designers to rely on the modelers for the core larger things in your level. The designer should be able to do those.

Wow, their SSAO (activated from 2:42 on) looks fantastic.

 

I really like that generic gray/orange texture with the resolution ("512x512") written on it. Where to get one just like that?

Those are extremely easy to make. I always use ones similar to those that I made.

Don't tell anyone, but I know a guy who knows a guy who can get his hands on some textures like those. It won't be cheap though, but it's good stuff.

This request would go along the same lines as integrating 3dWS or a version of it, into the editor, wouldn't it?

[Masterxilo]

I guess adding only very simple modeling/csg would be easier than that.

[VicToMeyeZR]

probably.

You can get these textures there: http://technofreak.te.funpic.de/reflex_developer.rar

 

Its from another german mapping-guy I used to know a few years ago.

@Michael

Well it's not exactly these, but they are similar. Thanks anyways.

At 4:43: What's whith this awesome... AO? Lighting?

[VicToMeyeZR]

just make them.. They're pretty standard..

[VicToMeyeZR]

how about this?

 

This is broken down by 32x32 bit squares, so you can better see angles, and changes in the mesh.

[Masterxilo]

Thanks. What program did you use?

[VicToMeyeZR]

photoshop.

 

I have 1024 and 512. You want them both?

[Masterxilo]

Yeah why not. Thanks again.

 

Really Photoshop? I would have guessed Illustrator.

 

How did you manage to draw something so precise using photoshop? I should really learn that program...

[VicToMeyeZR]

using lines, and grid helpers.

 

I will zip up the 2 PSD's and you can save them to whatever format you want.
