UE4 Tree-Cutting System

hippowombat

Hello everyone, I recently made a concept tree-cutting system that could be applied in a variety of ways that some of you may find useful. Here is a link to my blog post detailing how it all works, feel free to use the information/system as you wish

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your technique, it's really great:) You're an awesome person. Have you tried posting it on Unreal forums as well, it would a shame for this to stay burried here where seemingly no one ever come to comment

Would a mining system also use displacement as a base? How much performance intensive would it be?

hippowombat

Yeah, you could absolutely use a mining system, with displacement, if you mean like mining rock pieces? You'd do the same thing with the rock mesh, just paint the cracks with the vertex painter in your respective 3d modelling software.

Also, I have a thread (now) on the UE4 forums. Thanks for the suggestion!

This tree service concept is really great, it can help homeowners in many ways.

Companies that provides tree trimming services knows well about the tree cutting system really well. So, contacting them is a better idea.

I have used the mining system for tree removal but it doesn't work for me. So, it's better to try a new system.
