Cubiquity for UE4 - Voxel Terrain Plugin

I think triplanar materials would still be fine in that case. The idea is more to get something that will let us make simple organic shapes and stuff (vs. BSP’s very rigid shapes) during the level block-out process, so they don’t actually need to have really good UVs or anything, and even just having a triplanar material there would be perfectly acceptable.

Anyway, I figured it would be low priority, but I’m happy you guys are considering it I think such a feature would put the kit’s usefulness ahead quite a bit for UE4 devs, since there isn’t currently a way to block out organic shapes like that, without just having an artist on team to do standard static meshes.

For this use case, you probably wouldn’t even need to do ‘mesh exporting’. Cubiquity is able to be used simply to edit (in the editor) and render the extracted smooth mesh. You could use the standard Cubiquity system to create a volume (as many as you need theoretically) and carve/paint each one individually. Within UE4, it should be possible to add functionality to convert a Cubiquity mesh into a static mesh.

After the first preview release I’ll be starting an issue tracker/TODO list so remind me to put it on there.
