Could be achieved by breaking the ground mesh into the single polygons and then 3D paint them. The amount of hand work (breaking, applying a material, UV, ...) would make everyone go crazy so some scripting would be needed to reduce the work to a minimum. Mod Tool supports VBS, python and java script. The script could be bound to two buttons: one for breaking everything, another for breaking only a selection of polygons. Mudbox doesn't seem to support any scripting so the scene would need to get transfered back to Mod Tool (easier with the retail/student version). Mod Tool seems to have a buggy texture export. I was able to get only png images and those gets their black parts as alpha exported. So here we need extra caution. A script in PS could add a black layer to each image and then do the final texture export. | |||

===pathfinging on uneven ground=== | |||
It would be ridicules if Oni don't allow AIs to run over a hill. If one ramp is okay, why not two ''ramps'' or more in a row/next to each other. The idea simply deserves to become double-checked. | |||
