[Creating a cave]

Hi, I was wondering; Is it possible to create a cave using terrain? I assume I'd have use, for example, rock models and arrange them into a cave shape instead.

[(SOLVED) No shape option in physics for models/physics not aligned with models]

Hi. when I placed a barrel (or any other model), it would fall right through the map. The physics shown for the barrel would wildly unaligned and while following a tutorial made by jorn, i noticed he had multiple "shape" options in the physics tab for his barrel while I do not have any.

 

edit: nevermind, just had to fix the physics by going to the model editor.

Since this question comes up quite often and the official documentation is lacking, a quick tutorial:

 

Helped alot! I really appreciate all your tutorials btw

edit: one last thing, I can't locate the rock_dot1 for the textures tab, is this included in leadwerks?

Shaders are set via materials. So look for your vegetation material and go to its shader tab.

Thank you both so much! I fell very welcomed and supported here

Hi there and welcome to Leadwerks.

 

For painting vegetation and rocks in the editor you require certain shaders to be set. 

• leaves the leaves.shader
• rocks require the groundrocks.shader.

If you post a screenshot of your rocks material file (and specifically the shader tab) we can see if everything is correct there.

You also might need to delete the existing generated billboards for the rocks, if you apply new shaders.

That makes sense. How do I apply these shaders exactly?

[Trouble importing new models from blender.]

Hey guys,I bought leadwerks yesterday and I encountered a problem when trying to import new .mdl files from blender. At first I had looked up a blender file for a rock, found one, used the leadwerks converter to convert it to an mdl file, and placed it in my models folder. Upon trying to add this model in using the vegetation tool, I created the rocks but once I got close to them,they disappeared and blue beams/beacons appeared around the map. This also happened when trying to add a custom model from blender i created. Any idea what causes this issue or how to resolve it? Thanks!

 

EDIT: this only happens while trying to add rocks with vegetation
