Why not give Sculptris a go, it is free! Also very small download. I love sculptris myself, easy to use, and together with 3D Coat it is pure awesome. Excelent tutorial.

Excelent

I skipped the 3.0 version of LE, and I am not proud of that fact. But I have moved most of my work and play over to Linux and almost gave up on LE, until Josh started the kickstarter and got me intrigued again. I paid for the 2.3 update, and I will pay for 3.2 update as well, long as Linux support stays in and the features are worth the pricepoint. The high end/powered renderer is deffinately worth a 99$ upgrade in of itself, so I just don't know why people are even discussing this. Josh need to make a living, he is creating some awesome software for us and deserves getting paid for it. With an engine as cheap as LE is (200$ and no royalties) his payments has to come in through paid upgrades. Thats just my two cents.

This looks really really good. Hope to see more in the future

Broken record or not, you earned this!

This is too awesome! I am so happy to see this

You will first have to make sure your model is ready to be exported, then export as FBX format. From there you can easily import models to leadwerks.

really now, turn down the motion blur please!

I can think of at least one example of a game where a unified mesh of the trees would save some akwardness, but perhas not remove it entirely. Gothic3 had trees with intersecting branches, some trees had sway to simulate wind. The result in Gothic3 was that the trees and branches moved slightly out of sync, making it look really odd, that the branches seemed to slide around on the trunk. That is just one example of a possible implication of intersecting branches over that of a unified mesh.

Honestly, I think it is a stellar idea. But it really doesnt need to be "latest news" and all that here on Leadwerks. Rather it should be a video or two, a gallery and a description with a link to the project's website if it got one. That way, Josh can have a show of projects using the leadwerks engine, and the project's owners doesnt need to update so much on two seperate sites. Also the community around a project wouldnt be confused as to where they belong or where they should get information most specific for them. It is also a good idea in that it can generate a small boost of traffic for all projects, as a user can be interested in one thing, and see a bunch of other things that might interest them as well.

Yeah I will look more into polyvox, as soon as my headaches subsides

Alright alright, let me come in with a reminder here. I do not plan to have 128x128x128 chunks, but rather 128x128x2(or3), seeing as the character will only ever walk on one cubes width, left and right, and only ever interact with two cubes width, the walkable area and that right behind it. I believe that cuts down quite a bit on the polycounts wether it is standalone enteties or large solid meshes generated with marching cubes. All in all, I am not looking to create a minecraft clone as much as I want to create a terraria clone. So, ive looked at this polyvox library, and the documentation is sorely lacking. I hope I can figure things out with some effort. noiselib was lovely documented, dont know if I will need it now if polyvox does noise by itself.

That looks like an interesting library, thanks a lot Scott. Will experiment with this for a while later, now im on some 3d modeling work, need a break from the headaches

This is getting more and more difficult, suren I have stuff to look into now. Thanks.
