@Vallisca3x3x3 That's cause plants are the anti-christ of modeling. Either you model leaves in 3D and take up all your polygon budget

ShamisOMally ‏@ShamisOMally 19 oct.

@Vallisca3x3x3 Or you use textures as leaves, then everyone bitches they look "Fake"

Master Vallisca ‏@Vallisca3x3x3 19 oct.

@ShamisOMally and you sir, have nailed it right on the head.

Master Vallisca ‏@Vallisca3x3x3 19 oct.

@ShamisOMally im currently modeling leaves just because it seems more legit. Not sure i could get away with them in engine. most is low poly

ShamisOMally ‏@ShamisOMally 19 oct.

@Vallisca3x3x3 Even worse you have to render the leaves with alpha channel turned off, so if you use AA it doesn't affect the leaves texture

ShamisOMally ‏@ShamisOMally 19 oct.

@Vallisca3x3x3 Otherwise just turning on AA where it works on textures will drop performance like 80%

ShamisOMally ‏@ShamisOMally 19 oct.

@Vallisca3x3x3 Which is why I don't program games anymore ;D

ShamisOMally ‏@ShamisOMally 19 oct.

@Vallisca3x3x3 Could always try mirroring/cloning, but then everyone bitches "ALL THE TREES LOOK THE SAME"

ShamisOMally ‏@ShamisOMally 19 oct.

@Vallisca3x3x3 Which boils down to making one REALLY good looking tree you copy, or a bunch of crappy tree's that all look different

Master Vallisca ‏@Vallisca3x3x3 19 oct.

@ShamisOMally hardware is your savior. As things progress you can get away with higher counts. Now a days, things thread much differently

Master Vallisca ‏@Vallisca3x3x3 19 oct.

@ShamisOMally that is where stylized comes in. everyone can be fooled. If it is intended to look low poly, the argument is null

ShamisOMally ‏@ShamisOMally 19 oct.

@Vallisca3x3x3 What engine are you working with? The one with Paranautical?

Master Vallisca ‏@Vallisca3x3x3 19 oct.

@ShamisOMally Unity. We really like it. Probably will stay with it for a few titles.

ShamisOMally ‏@ShamisOMally 19 oct.

@Vallisca3x3x3 Long as its stylized, and not calling it stylized when its just "Fucking lazy" like Notch did

ShamisOMally ‏@ShamisOMally 19 oct.

@Vallisca3x3x3 I'd suggest Unreal 4 since Epic is BEGGING for money right now, is Unity free?

Master Vallisca ‏@Vallisca3x3x3 19 oct.

@ShamisOMally hahaha... I agree. But one must consider speed. That was just an excuse for not having the man power to be AAA

ShamisOMally ‏@ShamisOMally 19 oct.

@Vallisca3x3x3 Unreal 4 they only ask for like 5% of your profits

ShamisOMally ‏@ShamisOMally 19 oct.

@Vallisca3x3x3 AAA just means "We got a budget of 90 million dollars, 85 million of it went to the director for cocaine"

Master Vallisca ‏@Vallisca3x3x3 19 oct.

@ShamisOMally that is now... no our license is not free. We considered Unreal recently for next title, but we are better off in Unity
