changedOUR MAP EDITOR TOOLWe did some shader experiments recently to find out how to achieve more variations to our environmental assets without changing or duplicating their diffuse textures. In the Bioroid Customizer, we use a different approach to color the bioroid parts, but to do the same with the environment assets in our Map Editor, hundreds of textures would need to be converted to masks which we'd like to avoid. Our 3D Artists often use one or two clean colors in the textures, so the idea is to sample and recolor those tones on the fly in the shader. It still needs some polishing, but the results are promising!

Massacre and devastation within the echoing walls of the consumerism's cathedrals. Now opening in Philadelphia, Qatar, and Milan. "We open new opportunities for business in every city that hosts a Herogrinder arena by developing properties that have gone into disuse or have been ravaged by war. Perfect locations for controlled tactical combat." according to Ed Elsdon, Head of Technology at Herogrinder Corporation.
