SpeedTree in Torque

by Brandon Pollet · in General Discussion · 09/15/2004 (11:12 am) · 9 replies

I just saw that there has been up update to the SpeedTree line over on gamasutra. I was wondering if anyone had used Speedtree in Torque? Do you have any impresions, screenshots, or feedback?

    I've seen people with it working in Torque, but I can't recall where I saw the thread/screenshots off the top of my head. If I can locate them I'll let you know. It definitely is possible (but a lot of work).

    There was a posting I read just a moment ago, I can't remember the title off hand, but it was a new MMP and the site it linked too was in Chinese, but in the screenshots it looked like they used SpeedTree, and damn it looked nice. It's great I found this thread before posting to see if torque supports this natively or not either. I just bough the engine a couple weeks ago myself and am still reading through the documentation... but it's so hard to follow.

    Just so you guys know, Ben Garney has a forest pack coming out fairly soon. The pack isn't meant to compete with SpeedTree-- it doesn't do all that SpeedTree does-- but it will be much, much less expensive and has a bunch of great tech for efficiently rendering large, dense forests.

    What does www.opusgame.com use? Their trees look nice ... I mainly like their water though. I try to keep an eye on their development, but their site is almost impossible to read for me :P

    If you mean that game with the screenshots, then look at my last post. Looks like speedtree to me, I think Dark Age of Camelot uses speedtree also.

    The forest pack really looks awesome in person.

    Gabor Forrai's team also had speedtree implemented and running along nicely. But as far as I know the team disbanded recently :/
