Two Questions...

[fumanshoo]

First one is: Is there any .gmf scaling tool? I know I could easily do it in Blender or what ever editor I use, but I just want to know if I'm missing out on something... I've also SetScale on some objects but their collision bounds got all screwed up

 

Second one is: How do you sculpt downwards when you use the terrain sculpt tool?... or any terrain tool... it just won't go down... that's what she said...

To answer your questions:

 

First one: I don't think there is a .gmf scaling tool. Best way would be to scale them in your 3D modeling program. Once you have one model scaled at the right dimensions, you can use that model as a reference for all your other models.

Regarding the collision bounds, remember to delete the .phy (collision) file that Leadwerks creates automatically, after you have scaled it up/down in your 3D program.

 

Second one: Hold down the Ctrl key while sculpting to lower the terrain. The Ctrl key can also be used in the other terrain modes (paint, vegetation, etc...).

Ahhh thank you. I have been going into my modeling program to scale things, but I don't like doing that because you have to close and open programs too often.

There is a gmf scaling tool made by Marley Ghost. You can only use it on static meshes without bones. It is pretty useful. You will have to search the forum for it though I can't remember where it is.

Found it! Thanks! I knew I heard something about .gmf scaling floating around the forums.

Regarding terrain sculpting etc. there are severeall tutorials:

Wow, I can't believe I missed this. Thank you, Aggror! I do believe it is caused by my craptop's graphics card, but when ever I use the terrain, it spikes up really high. I'll test it as soon as I make a new computer.
