Finally some big progress has come with my Torque 3D Environment Pack! For those who aren't caught up, the T3DEP's purpose is to satisfy any and all outdoor needs a user may have, available in a one-stop purchase instead of having to stack up on multiple products here ad there. With the pack comes a slew of items for the purpose, packed together in total environments. Along with that is climate files and configurations for crafting your own environments using L3DT, a powerful terrain generation program.

The strongest part of the T3DEP is the fact that with your purchase of it comes unlimited updates. The best proof of this is what's coming in the 1.5 update: The current materials used in the sample environments, and thus those that are available to you, the customer, are 50. After the 1.5 update is released, this will be increased to THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FIVE!! With the diffuse, detail, normal, and parallax maps, that comes out to a total of 1,420 individually tweaked and refined images, all at lossless 1024x1024 resolution, nearly FOUR GIGABYTES of data!


Every one of these materials has been very carefully gone over to ensure good tiling. Each normal map was created specificaly with the material in mind and NOT simply run through a filter and assumed good enough.

Each detail map has been adjusted precisely to ensure a 100% smooth transition from base texture to detail. Most people have a tendency to overlook this, and as the camera moves closer and the detail texture fades in, the overall brightness of the ground changes. With the Torque 3D Environment Pack detail maps, this is not the case.

Every heightmap for parallax maps has been carefully tweaked to ensure the proper bumps and parallax details in the right places with minimal negative distortion.


You won't be able to find as much effort and attention being poured into your assets than what you'll find with the Torque 3D Environment Pack. And this is of course only the beginning still. With each big update, I will be expanding on every single aspect of the pack just as massively as the materials. From 50 to 355, you can expect just as massive of a jump in quality in all other regards to the pack as well.

Here is a prime example of the attention to quality given to every one of the three hundred and fifty five textures:

This is a screenshot of one of the grass materials that is currently in the pack.

And this is a shot of the same texture after its rework under the 1.5 update, soon to be released:

You can also even see in the image there, the perfectly smooth transition from detail map to diffuse map, no change in total brightness.

Once this update goes out in the next couple days, the next steps for the Environment Pack: More sample terrains, Improved L3DT Climate Files to make use of the new massive set of materials, improved ambient sounds for environments, environmental particle effects, precipitation effects, and eventually even model props.

Also, purchasers of the Torque 3D Environment Pack will also get the benefits of truly great technique for materials that I'm just now beginning to refine and utilize. This method is something a step beyond what anyone will be used to seeing, and will bring about a far better quality that you'll ever have been used to seeing! More info on that part though will have to wait... ;)

I could go on forever about the benefits, but you'll only know for sure yourself!
