Low impact corn spline?

[Lo_Poly]

(attention David Drake!) Low impact corn spline?

Well, I've tried using David Drake's corn splines, but they are too high in detail and make a rather significant impact on the framerate. I'm trying to populate large corn field.

I've searched the DLS and can't seem to find any low-poly corn splines, or basically anything relevant!

Could someone please assist?

Cheers and happy holidays.

Take David's cornfield splines and set up a bunch of them. Then take a screenshot of them. Use the screenshot to make a ground texture that will match (more or less) David's original. Then all you have to do is place splines along the track edge of the field and paint in all the rest. I've used this technique with reeds and it works fairly well.

Not sure, but have a look at "Rob4Rails" corn. kuid:67761:21012
It may be a help to you.

Looked at it, not enough detail.

I'm not sure how you're going to meet your low poly and detail requirement in the same content. I would try using a low poly / low detail spline for the background and using a higher detailed one in the foreground. Good Luck

No corn. :'(

That's what I was planning on doing! Just after 3 long splines of dmrake's corn spline, the frame rate really starts to slow down unacceptably.

Place two long splines, then a combine/harvester and a trailer, then a crop stubble texture.

That would look rather odd when it's in the early/middle of summer.

Then sell the farmland to a housing developer, and throw some construction equipment and half built homes there. I am now officially out of ideas.

Tee hee:hehe:

Ugh... me too. Maybe dmdrake would be willing to make a low poly version of his corn spline?

You should ask him. Don't send him a Private Message though.....he's a little cranky today!

Bah... I can't change the actual thread topic now.

Dunno if he'll even read this thread!

Is there any way to contact David?
