Terrain Painter in version 1.1

by Adam Zeliasz · in Torque 3D Beginner · 03/03/2010 (7:55 am) · 2 replies

Will there be an erase brush, falloff and opacity setting? Right now in 1.01 I need to select a previous layer and paint to erase. And if I want an opacity I have to create a new layer and material...

Hey Adam.

There is no erase brush because once you paint over something that data is gone. The only place to get it is from the undo stack.

Falloff and opacity are both hampered by not having per-pixel opacity control... the technique we use just doesn't support it at the moment. We're thinking of ways to allow opacity and large amounts of layers, but don't have a solution yet.

In 1.1 beta 2 we added a dither to the brush which helps a ton.
