Assets Tyre Marks in Snow

A short work in progress video of a tyre leaving marks in snow, the system allows for any shape groove to be made to any depth, it makes use of a procedural mesh generated behind the tyre via a basic lofting system.

 

Love it, hope this makes it to the Asset Store

 

Blimey, good work! Would this be limited to snow, can mud be used too, hope you turn this into an asset for us to buy

 

No not limited to snow, could be used for sand, mud, water or anything where a trail imprint could be left.

 

flesh on a animated skinned mesh?

Real impressive pack Spooky!

I see the depth can be changed which is a real cool feature. How would a developer deal with snow drifts - where the snow level is deeper in certain parts - but the tires should still be at the same depth - near the ground.
Example: The developer might want the tire to stay at ground level - but the depth of the snow varies from 6inches to 2feet. So instead of changing the depth at which the tire sinks - the change is in varying height/ depth of the terrain the tire is driving on. Thanks for the explanation.

 

Could this be run on mobile?

 

@RevoX_ - Yes it is very light weight so would be fine on mobile devices.

@theANMATOR2b - In the demo I control the depth manually but in the game environment I have a custom tyre collider which can take into account extra depth info from height maps, a texture or even just a noise source to change how soft the ground is which is also used by our tyre deformation system.

 

When this Asset will be ready ?
