A Forest

Hey all. I had not yet seen an actual, dense forest made with the Unity terrain engine, so I took it upon myself to make one. Aren't you all so excited? Anyways, here's a screenshot:



For sound I'm mixing an ambient forest loop with a rain loop, and throwing in running water sounds when you get closer to the stream. It's going to be awesome. n_n

 

Another shot:



I added a fallen log, just for some extra attention to detail.

 

Looks good- if a little dark. Patches of sunlight streaming through the canopy in several places would be neat.

 

Well, it is supposed to be raining, although my rain particles are horrible, and need much tuning up, so sun beams during a rainstorm doesn't seem very practical..

>.>

 

Unless you made it into an Amazonian jungle

 

Anyways, here's a new shot where you can more clearly see the rain. It's the shoreline, as this forest is kind of an island.



I also made the water a much less hideous color.

 

Added a nice path through a section of the forest

 

May I ask what the framerate's like? It's just there seems to be a lot of grass textures.

 

Looks pretty nice
But that grass must be more than only a little stressing for the system ...

 

>.> I wondered if anyone would ask. Yeah, it's painful, and I have a good computer too. I need to do some crazy optimization.

Also, going to make it a quick little test of my online skill. Walk around alone in the forest (which isn't TOO big), or have a two player game of tag through the woods. That means that I now need to change it from First Person though, which means modeling a character. Now what character could look realistic in this setting...?

 

That is one neatly kept lawn your forest's got there. Props to the forest rangers! :wink:

 

Are you going to post the end result as a project?

 

Well, I'm not really employing anything that's very complicated. It's all just plain ol' terrain-making.

 

;___; But my poor quality. Why do you want to kill her?

>.> Okay, fine.

 

There'll be no noticeable difference between a good quality .jpg and a .png in the context of the forum.

Thanks for the pics, but they are slow!

 

Yeah please change format, and try a better host.
Thanks in advance.

 

nice nice nice nice nice forest you got there. I can never seem to make a decent terrain, grass, ground texture, forest, path, water, or any old thing. it's too bad, really. guess i just gotta get smart.
