Terrain and Collisions - Driving Game Part 5

[@deslomator]

This series feels like canon in the making, showing not only what's possible but lots of good practices as well.

[@Erindale]

Hopefully people enjoy it!

[@sander-wit]

You're such an effortless genius. Great to see man.

[@Erindale]

I’m glad it looks effortless from outside 😂

[@Mocorn]

So this is what happens when you've achieved full mastery of geometry nodes!? You go "fuck it, I'll make a game!". This is incredible! I had no idea you could even begin to do something like this in Blender.

[@Erindale]

At this point I’m not sure there’s anything that can’t be done with Blender

[@cleverpoly]

the GOAT is back at it 🙌

[@MissaelKaban]

besides all the nodes techniques, one thing that i can't find in another YT totorials is how you arrange your nodes..it's really another level of art

[@Erindale]

Turn on snap to grid (magnet icon, or shift+tab) and lots of reroutes. And name things. And frame. Dear lord the number of times I’ve been sent people’s files to debug and there’s unannotated nodes all over the place. Makes everyone’s life easier to stay organised

[@miniso4ck804]

Actually that is pretty cool, may be I'll try to do it by myself 😄

[@FORTHEGAME-c1n]

i really love what you are doing

[@Erindale]

Thanks so much!

[@WDShorty]

So one of the things I've been attempting (unsuccessful cause I'm not very smart at this stuff) is so take my noise texture and have geometry nodes look at the noise texture and get the polygons to follow or conform to the noise texture so it'll look more natural further away when there's low poly lod

[@Erindale]

Hm yeah that does sound like a difficult problem actually. Let me know if you manage to get something working- I’d be interested to see your results

[@SanOcelotl]

Bringing back the Blender game engine i see

[@Erindale]

BGE should’ve always been node based

[@chrisnicholls2264]

Hi, really enjoying the tutorial have even bought an gamepad to make driving the cab easier! I'm using 4,2 LTS and I am getting a dependancy loop issue when I add the game manager as object info on the .ground node group & my vehicle just floats up when I play the sim. I'm sure it's fixable, but can you help please?

[@Erindale]

Hm yeah that might be tricky because of both objects using a loop… one quick solution would be to revert to 4.1. Alternatively you should be able to join all the different objects into one main node graph with a single big simulation loop. That’ll prevent the dependency issue

[@chrisnicholls2264]

@@Erindale Thanks for replying, I did go back to 4.0 & get things working correctly, but will try your suggestion with 4.2.

[@constantinezh7156]

Erindale, wtf u doing!

[@Erindale]

This is time well spent
