Pretty awesome stuff, Willi! You did it again! :slight_smile:

Btw, when will the snow extension come out? I could use it for my game :D.

Any news on this, Willi?

It comes out July 4th :D. I think it’s going to be around $11.50

Hey Chris,

9.99 EUR for the Winter extension or free if you get the FP2 anyway. :slight_smile:
Sorry for the late reply, busy wrapping and testing the new packs and updates.

Lol! :smiley:

No worries, Willi! Looking forward to the Winter extension. The sooner the better :D!

Everytime I download the pack from the website, it wont let me extract anything. It keeps saying the files are corrupt. Any ideas?

Hi Vathusmoure,

can you please send an email to support@mawiunited.com

This package I watched for months as you developed it, and it was an instant purchase the day it finally released. By far it is the best looking hero forest assets I’ve seen to date. The quality and detail to everything is fantastic. Running on my GTX 970 I have exactly what you promised in FPS. On top of all of that, you keep adding and building all these additional features that will keep me buying all your tree packs as they come out. I also want to point out how responsive you have been with any questions or issues, this is not always visible just looking at the forum thread. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to when you get the Sequoias released and seeing what you may tackle next.

Conifer Forest Pack update released!

We will email everyone today so they can grab the update.

Also the Forest Winter Extension is released.

bought it and am very very happy about it !!
its so beautiful. Really outstanding work !
one question:
all foilage is only usable in the foilage painter. I would like to place some of the foilage explicit per hand, too.
how can i achieve this ?

Hi stucki,

you can just drag and drop them from the /Meshes folder under /Plants and /Trees.
The example map trees are all hand placed.

thx for the answer, but you got me wrong.
the trees are plantable by hand, but i wanna be able to set the small plants (foilage) by hand, too.
ue4 shows me the red circle if i drag them into the viewport. I can only use them with the foilage painter…
but sometimes its importants to get them right on the spot you want them :wink:

But it works with the little plant the same way :slight_smile:

> Meshes/Plants/

is where the source staticmeshes are stored.

aaaahhhh …
sorry i only have seen the ones i could drag & drop into the scene …
stupit / blind me :wink:
thx. for the help.

the pack is so amazingly beautiful !!!
any news abot the redwoods :wink:

No problem stucki, happy you like the pack. :slight_smile:

FYI: If you notice flickering with the winter extension, that’s a bug in 4.11x, in 4.12.x select the landscape actor and set it’s bounds to -16 / +16 to fix it.

We just released the ground plants and rocks & boulders packs in our store.
The redwoods we will continue to work on next month. We have a few other high priority jobs we need to take care of.

I’m just wondering, has anyone tested this on an Xbox or PS4? If so, what kind of performance did you get?

Update,

Pack was just submitted to Epic for release.

Hello everyone,

After careful consideration we decided to not release any of our current and future packs on the UE4 Marketplace. You will only be able to get them directly from us. This way we can provide way better support and faster updates to our customers.
You can follow us on Facebook for future updates and releases.
