Trees as objects?

[maxmax]

Read a line in the official updates section. "The next big items are the 3D object tree forests". Does this mean trees will be potent foes now? As in you can crash into them? And not invisible to enemies?

 

Cuz that would be cool.

 

Sorry if this is a repost.

The next big items are the 3D object tree forests and tuning clutter blending.

This only says that "tree forests" will be 3D objects - and not sprites any more - like we knew them since first DOOM ;).

 

But this has not to mean that they will be collide-able objects.

 

If you want to find more about the "why ?" :

BTW: What are "tree forests"?!

thanks, P. Yeah, that was a fun thread wasn't it? :D

For the Black Shark I can see this being an issue, but how often does an A-10C get INTO trees or in a situation where trees being 3D matters?

[leafer]

I read a book where a pilot told of an account where he flew his F-4 Phantom into dense jungle canopy and snagged some branches on his wing. I can't recall if he was dogfighing or avoiding sam.

 

Now, I'm just saying sh!t happens. I'm fine with the way things are progressing.

is this really a question?! - : as often you want! :) and the emphasis is on the word "want"

Your post from the Black Shark area is my point exactly, "functional trees" would be a concern for Black Shark, but no A-10C pilot is going to say, "Whoa there's a Shilka, I'd better drop to 15 feet off the deck and hide behind those trees to avoid it!" or "I'll just fly at 250kts 20 feet from the ground and hide behind this tree line to sneak up on those tanks". :)

 

It's all the same engine now anyway, so it's great that it's happening, just confused why an A-10 pilot would be asking about this.

Since that was part of the Nevada topic, Im going to guess that it might be exclusive to the Nevada terrain since it uses EDGE

Just to be clear, nowhere in Wags statement does it say collidable. Only 3D

So not collidable but only 3D.Does that mean that the trees will look better?

they might be collidable, I have no idea until an official announcement. Think round vs flat

[wolfstriked]

Wow,might be collidable is excellent news....or might be excellent news:doh::D

don't know- and no one said that the mysterious "tree forests" will be not collide-able...

 

 

The only truth is: ... that we simply know nothing...!...;)
