Steel Hunters - A New Terrain Dataset and Time of Day Testing
Just imported a new terrain dataset for the prototype level that is actually thought-out and represents our intended goals for the first environment we're taking on: Nevada, USA (outside Las Vegas).
Steel Hunters will have five environments at launch, each of which is approximately 4km x 4km. And since our entire lighting, weather, and world simulation is dynamic, just because you've been to a level before doesn't ever mean that you know how it plays out. And no mission will have you trekking across the entire landscape.
Anyway! I've been working on editors/backend for so long that I just NEEDED TO POST A THING WITH PIXELS. As I said, this was quite literally just imported into the game for the first time (which generally doesn't produce good results), but it hasn't been tuned/textured/updated environment and lighting conditions, etc. Also none of the environment meshes are actually on the ground.
