Been so busy, but finally had time to work on this again! Going for a rundown, Arabic medieval inspired refugee camp set up in an ancient ruined fort. Let me know if I nailed the vibe or have any improvments. Take a look at my previous post to see the island before foliage.

iirc neon glow has long since been detached from its material properties. the way neon works in the modern engine is that it acts like a full-bright emission material and the neon glow threshold is decided via bloom effects (including not having one, since it falls back to roblox's default bloom)

i love substance painter for allowing me to turn two cubes into some form of convincing ammo crate

oh and the ammo icons i made for them are kinda cool too

holy hell we're literally one play away from 1k

this is INSANE considering that Mana's Mayhem currently looks like a dev-only map LOL

hi, i recently made a fork of GrayzcaIe's SimplePath public: it's a modification that changes the computations from single-thread over to multi-threaded

it's a direct fork, so you can use the API documentation with this version

hey so like i made a camera plugin thing for devs to make use of

it does stuff like render an entirely separate view similar to how Blender's render camera works

i think it's pretty neat anyway

and for the record, yes im very aware just how annoying this constant "look at my plugin!" stuff is

i've never really been paid for my work on big projects on Roblox before, so im trying something new

im trying to apply my knowledge of lua and studio by making something that i can see others using

i worked extremely hard to get it to a stable enough 1.0.0 version! i understand that this isn't going to be for everyone, but it's always been a set of tools that i've had on standby for years in the form of older plugins. those ones are still free and still available to use!

hey y'all! i'd like to show off my plugin that i've been working on 24/7 for the past two and a half weeks!

meet Snapshot- a plugin that kind works like several plugins bundled in one, and all of them are built around camera stuff

deformed meshes seems like the only way this could be done currently now that you mention it

each bone can be mapped to a noise function and each tile can have unique displacement

i do hope that you've made LOD variants for further out distances from the camera tho lol

im really curious to know how you handled the water? it is very clearly a far cry from terrain water but im not immediately assuming you're using the new mesh apis either since they throttle often

either way im seriously impressed! well done!
