High Quality Terrain Asset Pack & Tutorial Series

Indeed :smiley: 127 days, still a bit too much xD

Just wanted to put in a good word for here.

has been doing some custom terrain work in World Machine + UE4 for one of my battlefields.

From what I have seen so far, the results are very good.

Also, in general, is very knowledgeable in 3D terrain sculpting, World Machine custom passes and terrain integration in UE4.

He is a very conscientious contractor and I would recommend highly for any terrain work UE4 developers might have.

How is the progress going? Been awhile now :-/

Well 2014 was a proper **** year for me, One problem after another. was no different.

Finally managed to get everything onto HDD and sent to Epic UK or so i thought. When drive hadn’t moved on tracking in 12 days i knew something was up. Turned out City link the delivery firm i sent with went into administration with 2500 staff layed off here in the UK. Then was told had to go to depot to pick up my package, they couldn’t find it! so had to wait even longer. Finally got found and now have the drive back.

So now in 2015 ive decided year is going to be a good year for me!, Drive has now been resent with another delivery company and hope to arrive at Epic UK sometime soon. Then epic need to check everything over which will take a little time because the size of the content. Then should be up on market. Fingers crossed anyway.

Cheers

Ok, I hope it turns out well :slight_smile: Really looking forward to it!

hi
so when is pack releasing can anyone give an update on it?

I am also waiting :slight_smile:

Many people are waiting. is rather unfortunate, even as someone looking in from the outside. I genuinely hope your situations improve for the long run at least.

@: Stick with it dude. Things will work out in the end … you have a lot of people side keen to see and buy your pack.

Good luck with everything. 8-}

It’s been a while, Sorry having to put aside for a while. Got offered some custom design work for £800 that’s has eaten my spare time over the last 2 months. Time to get **** done and done. Had some really nasty experiences with so called community members recently that made me question why i even bother doing things for people for free like video tutorials, giving advice and help by mail. But also had some very nice support from real community members on here pushing me forward to get these packs finished. Epic accepted my work even before market place was announced, but time after time there was issues that made never get done (Mostly on my end due to financial and health reasons). But now it’s time to ROLL. video was me testing some of the Rocky grass terrain packs with the 4 season Uber shader, had to create another detail texture layer for close to camera for the extra detail at very close range. But good news all done now.

Hope people appreciate the work :slight_smile:

Cheers Guys, And much love to the real community members on here.

I am glad you are not going to let one bad apple spoil it for the bunch. Amazing work as usually although I have no use for snow I will be purchasing grass,forest, Islands, and desert packs.

Thanks for the kind words bud, but is one of the grass pack terrains. You get a 4 seasons shader that can do all for FREE (e.g Winter, summer,spring,autumn) Just made sense to do it way as my terrains are meant to also be edited by the end user to get what you want not just what i base created. Whole idea of the packs to start with and the start to finish tutorial series, Blender files etc. Cheers mate for the reassuring comment though :slight_smile:

Ahh that’s wonderful will fit my needs even more now knowing that.

Absolutely amazing! Really good work!

I am really looking forward to ! :slight_smile:

Hi,

Not being funny but if you think “Absolutely amazing! Really good work!” why Have been causing such an with that other guy whos decided to copy exactly my product down the the types of packs, amount and making it $40 rather than the $50 dollars i was going to charge. That guy was clearly trying to destroy 6 months of work on my part. Even saying on these forums i don’t care if you buy my Packs just don’t buy Kingbadgers, Their trash and will just make you project never succeed.

You then started a thread about the value of market place content, that I made clear i was working on these packs and 25 terrains per pack plus video tutorials, base files, Blender files for end user modification. That works out $2 per terrain BEFORE epic even take a slice at 30%.

Ive been a productive community member on here, Done free video tutorials for people (I was the first person on the WEB to do a Blender character creation, Animation, Mocap retargeting and fixing before export series to help out my fellow Indies on here when not a single other person knew how to get Characters out of Blender. Helped people by mail the lot.

Now ive just seen you started a thread selling 50 terrains at $10 just to make a point and get one over that other guy you’ve been warring with. But that also means you ******** me over, Your WM work may only take an hour but with the complexity of my setups with custom made macros and filters takes about 2-3 hours to just render out base maps from there. Then i have to put the time into creating the photoshop composite file which uses all those lovely original maps from WM. Then Blender 3D scene files pre setup for rendering and hand sculpting / modifying and even mixing more than one map from the packs into a brand new map so you never end up as end user with something someone else has who purchased the packs.

It’s basicly a good days work to get that all done for each of my Terrains. I don’t just press a generate button, there designed and hand crafted. Before even then seting up the UE worlds.

But you had to be the big man, and say well screw guy ill do it for a price that can never make any financial sense for someone like me that spent 6 months doing work. Your work and othe other guys are not my quality but doesnt change the fact in my eye’s you’ve both personally attempted to put me in a situation that i can never make a penny from my hard work. from so called community members is disgusting.

And your now probably gonna get your wish as there is absolutely no point releasing my packs and tutorial series now you’ve done . For the quality of work and detail, Video explanation tutorials that I impart my workflow and tool use that others don’t have and are not available anywhere else on the web for a reason as ive taken the time to develop them from scratch. Selling just a handful is not an option, the only reason i was willing to sell so cheap anyway was because i wanted to help my fellow devs on here but would need to sell high volume to make any money. But for such a low return and as soon as even 1 Pack is sold open to being pirated makes it impossible.

And i wont be creating ANY content for market place ever again, what’s the point putting in so much time and effort when type of thing happens. All means is market place will be full of rubbish content because no one with any common sense would ever bother creating those high quality/value assets when some dinlo’s can come across and make your work worthless to be spiteful.

Ive been working with Epic to get these done for over 6 months, Epic contacted me to sell my products even before Market place was made public. Now what’s the point.

PS as far as i understand it’s against WM term and conditions to supple WM files, which is why I spoke to epic about months ago. Even if that’s changes i still wouldn’t do it and Steven the guy that built WM company is only a small business and i Dont want to hurt his income. Providing WM files is just an incentive for people to pirate his software instead of legitimately purchasing it and learning the tool for your self.

Looking awesome! Should save quite some time for people doing open-world games. The fact you can change seasons and edit it makes it a lot more useful, easier to fit in a game, compared to a fixed terrain pack.

Hi,
[/QUOTE]

My digital marketing company has to compete with many foreign institutions in a global marketplace. They claim to offer the same services and in some instances I am sure they can achieve the same quality while charging fractions of what my company charges our clients. We still manage to convince many medium-to-large size companies to work with us. Competing with literally thousands of others who can undercut us at drastic prices we cannot economically compete with is just our every day.

I have no experience with world machine. I certainly want to purchase all of the terrain packs that are coming out because it saves me the trouble of buying & learning software when I’ve already put down $1k for the Allegorithmic suite of programs in addition to UE4. There are plenty of people like myself who will dip into all of the packs or only the ones based upon quality & presentation. For instance, like said I found the quality in the video you presented absolutely wonderful.

You’re always going to end up competing with people who can undercut you. But so long as you put out good quality there will be a market for you.

Of course, how profitable the UE4 Marketplace even is I haven’t the slightest idea with there being no public sales data.

i was only discussing quality and content vs price.
Your pack is by far the most comprehensive. It has AAA quality, set up UE4 controls, advanced atmo and clouds, editable Blender files and support. I rank it as the best terrain quality yet.
In my book worth the money.
If no world machine files are allowed then it is one more selling point for your pack. I think if someone bought my pack for ten then he would buy it just as a cheap pack in addition to your main pack. I would not worry. You can quote me when I say that quality and content are unparalled for UE4 landscapes in your package.

Your reactions to all the drama surrounding these landscape packs (which you’ve helped fuel to some extent) are so distasteful and off-putting that it makes me not want to buy your packs (if they ever do release). You’ve been complaining about , that and the other thing for the past 3 months, saying things like “I’ll never do again” and “what’s the point in releasing”. Your assumption that because some guy is going to release lower quality packs at a lower price that you’ll never make sales is absurd. Most people will spend more money to get a landscape that actually works. By a lot. You also know because it’s common sense, so stop getting bent over stupid things then spewing the drama all over the forums.

You know what would really hurt your sales? Never releasing these landscapes. Which is clearly where is going. (btw “working with Epic for 6 months” doesn’t give you more credibility at point, it just makes you look like you can’t finish the product).

Hopefully you can release soon (for your sake), but I’m done with thread and it’s infinite updates/complaints. I won’t be tracking anymore, but good luck with releasing, if it happens.
