Re: Realistic Vehicle Physics - Made with Unity

A small preview of a new powerful feature i'm working on, this will turn boring flat terrains into nicely detailed terrains with heights based on the texture used on each vertex, this gives me detail in the terrain which i never would be able to achieve doing it manually no matter the hours i'd put ...

Re: Realistic Vehicle Physics - Made with Unity

Terrain System Update 8: So, just a quick little preview of a cool new feature i've been working on today, this started with me trying out MegaSplat's Tessellation Displacement and Parallax, these features lets you displace the heights of your meshes using a heightmap texture based on the diffuse t...

Re: Realistic Vehicle Physics - Made with Unity

Yes i already have plans to have weather affect the terrains behavior both visually and physically, MegaSplat already comes with some nice features which allow snow and water puddles to form/accumulate and nice interaction between them, but i want the physics effects/interaction with these features ...

Re: Realistic Vehicle Physics - Made with Unity

Terrain System Update 7: I've been working on a lot of changes the last couple of days, but let me start by giving a big thanks to Viktor (aka Heartbroken) the developer of Truss Physics for the outstanding support he's been giving me lately on feature requests and bug reports. This week he made a v...

Re: Realistic Vehicle Physics - Made with Unity

Terrain System Update 6: This week brings a small but important update to the terrain system. The most important new feature is "Terrain Tile Stitching" you've probably already noticed in my earlier videos the gaps that appears between terrain tiles after deformation have happened near the edges of...

Re: Realistic Vehicle Physics - Made with Unity

Thank you very much :) By the way i remember you asked about a way to try it out yourself some time ago, to which i yet again gave a totally unrealistic date for a demo release(i'm about 6 month late for that date now...), anyway without promising an exact date i will promise a release of a free tec...

Re: Realistic Vehicle Physics - Made with Unity

So a lot of people have asked me about my terrain physics if it's softbody based like my vehicles are or how i do it, so i'd like to clear up some misunderstandings and add a little info. The terrain physics is not based on softbody physics, it's actually based on a technique called Heightmap/Height...

Re: Realistic Vehicle Physics - Made with Unity

Terrain System Update 5: So the last couple of weeks i've worked on a couple of things but the biggest new feature is implementing MegaSplat, a new texture/shader system by Jason Booth, with this system i can now paint up to 256 different textures per terrain tile without affecting performance(not ...

Re: Realistic Vehicle Physics - Made with Unity

Thank you Jesper i'm glad you like it ;) Yes that's correct, the deformation and much of the vehicle behavior naturally occurs and aren't directly scripted as you suggest. The vehicles is simulated with softbody physics (Truss Physics Engine), the way softbodies work is that you create a bunch of po...

Re: Realistic Vehicle Physics - Made with Unity

Yet another update on the terrain system, i've made a few improvements to the soil model and added a few debugger views. - Deformation is now calculated on all contact/collision points, before it would only use the average position of all the points and calculate deformation from that position. - Ad...

Re: Realistic Vehicle Physics - Made with Unity

I never tried it on mobile yet, i haven't really developed for mobile before and i'm not really updated on how mobile CPU's have evolved either, the softbody physics and terrain physics is very heavy on the CPU and memory, but in theory it should work on both IOS and Android if i scaled down the det...

Re: Realistic Vehicle Physics - Made with Unity

Finally time for an update on my terrain physics system, this video is a early test of the new updated system, many improvements have been made since my last video on the terrain system: - It now works with 2 physics engines PhysX and Truss, and can run both simultaneously or just engine alone. - Ad...

Re: Realistic Vehicle Physics - Made with Unity

After almost 2 years of lonely driving i finally made some buddies/enemies to play with, i've started working on some AI controllers for my vehicles, currently it features 4 different modes: 1. Chase: They will try their best to wreck you 2. Follow: Useful for convoy driving 3. Checkpoint: They will...

Thank you :) and sorry for the late reply, unfortunately no i don't have a demo ready yet, i hope to have it ready within a month or so, but i'll post more info here as soon i got any...

Nice! excellent work as usual! Love the wobbliness of the wooden part of the lorry. This might be out of scope. But will material fractures be part of the plan at any point in the foreseeable future? Thank you ;) Unfortunately no, fracturing is not supported and i don't think it will be anytime soo...
