Trees, Foliage, and Indirect Lighting! | SceneForge 0.6.35

Jul 20, 2022 1:36 pm

Hello there !

After the terrain tools have been added, one of the most commonly requested features was more world-building tools like them.

So, version 0.6.35 marks wave 1 of these tools. Two tree types have been added, and you can now add them to your terrain just like any other terrain modification!

As always, you can check out the video below for more info.

I also go over the per-light GI modes and how they work with the new Screen Space Global Illumination system.

Check it out!

What's New?

  • Now you can add Conifer and Cyprus trees to your terrain.
  • They perform really well because of LOD groups that swap out the mesh based on the distance to the camera.
  • Scene camera no longer can get "lost" below the world.


What's Next?

As you might expect, in the next few releases we're working on adding more foliage and detail types, such as grass, flowers, and rocks.


Additionally, the Motion Capture system is being worked on, allowing you to have any imported character match your motions in real time, using only your iPhone or iPad.


Thanks for being an early adopter!
