Mud trial map

[DeGa]

Hi!

I basically decided to make a map for testing new ground models, mud in particular, and high resolution.

So I made a 400x400m terrain with 2048*2048 heightmap with 5 different kind of muds and alpha-splatting. This is a field with muddy offroad trial, including mud bathes, ruts, mudpits, water,etc. I think that such places should exist everywhere in northern lands and that a lot of people will find it familiar. As I think it turned out good I decided to make a thread and here it is

Mud settings are taken from the experiments of 1crash007 ( http://forum.rigsofrods.com/index.ph...c,30454.0.html ) and from the traction-test map.

As only half the map is done atm your suggestions about new (muddy) obstacles to fill the remaining half part are really welcome.

Constructive criticism is welcome too.

Note for users of alpha-splat: I'd like to know if it is possible to de-activate overlay and fall-back maps in the alpha-splat material. I don't need those maps to affect the alpha-splat textures, that becomes head-banging to preview your work when working on the textures. What I did here is to reference a 50% grey image but as you may see the terrain looks desaturated with low contrast. Thanks for ideas

Sounds good Dega. Is that a skin for the jeep? I like it. Also Have you thought about ruts with muddy water and real thick mud under it? We have a heap of them out here in the bush when it rains. Haha.

Probably after he has finished what he want's to do to it... You can't put a release date on perfection.

Not sure on the fall back map, i'll try to figure that out.

The mud and trails look so realistic in those pics, this is just what we needed.

I made an alpha-splat ground material that doesn't use an overlay - only a sub-texture for each ground type.

You can try that if you want (I made it for my Riverbed map)

looks amazing!!!

This just a very quick skin I made I couldn't stand to have shiny paint when getting out of a mud bath. I have no plan to release or to share it as it is bad (not right mud color, pixelated, not enough work in it...
I thought about the muddy water in the ruts but it's not easy to make it in

[MICRACER]

Wow! That looks amazing cant wait to play on it with my trucks. Everybody loves trucks and mud.

[FordFan]

yeah thats pretty sweet. About how deep is the mud, and how thick is it?

[elephants14]

One thought is as follows:

How about have a road,

[Beolex]

Very beautiful map & scenery, great job.

[foxboy63]

Awsome map Cant wait for it

[LoaDy588]

Looks awesomezeining DeGa,reminds me one trial map in czech republic

[Fat-Alfie]

Dega, I've just emailed you my Riverbed map, which uses my non-overlay alpha-splat .material.

Feel free to try it out on your map.

Any problems just let me know.

My goodness!

[Box5diesel]

Does anyone have a working mud particle?

[Fat-Alfie]

I made some before all the changes. I guess they'd still work. They're in my modified Cobra map (if anyone has it).
