    Wow you have some serious artistical talent. I've always been a fan of your work but this latest work must be the best you've done. Is that really the default Unity shaders at work? It's really impressive regardless though.

    hello Jacal you did it again, great quality I'm impressed.
    What kind of weather system did you use here?

    Cheers

    I've already commented on your youtube video but this is really cool!
    I will buy it when/if I get money soon. ;)

    Just awesome. I thought your mobile pack was great too.
    But for BEP4 could you do a scifi or modern pack? Everyone makes fantasy aimed assets. One of your packs with scifi assets would be amazing.

    I was worried at first it wasnt going to have the same 'epic' feel to previous packs but this is spot on, very good work, i assume youre employed as an environment artist somewhere, its nice for everyone to get a chance at using some really top quality art for their own stuff. As an aside, while i didnt have any doubt the unity shaders would be fine for work like that (I think the obsession with fancy shaders gets a bit silly on this forum, most the time i dont even think the folk have the maps to drive them!), if you used any other systems and you dont mind saying, could you say what they might be? I think anyone who has seen your previous packs (must be most the people on this forum) knows what they're getting, that was a very accomplished bit of art in the video itself amd it'd be educational to know how you got there. If it was all Unity then it confirms what I already knew, which was that people moaning about Unity's graphics is absolutely nothing to do with Unity's capabilities, and more to do with weak artists

    As an aside, while i'm not remotely interested in scifi packs of assets as I think you can generally refactor just about anything into something sci-fi-ish, unless you want to go all out outlandish, i do agree with the above guy on having some contemporary or reasonably modern day things in one of your packs. It's impossible for me to create all the art I need for something quickly enough to hit my deadlines for people and it's left me a bit disappointed when something ends up not as good as it could have been and that's never so relevant as when making any kind of scene based between now and 20-30 years ago, endless models for sci fi, fantasy too, a dearth for just plain old normal stuff, so i'll second the request, understand it might be a bit boring for you too

    Also, what textures are supplied with each model/asset? The typical diffuse and normal? I ask because i've been a bit spoilt lately with haing access to gloss/height/specular maps and so on so i've actually had the opportunity to properly use some more advanced shader techniques, and if i take to IBL as i'm just preparing to try out, and these packs finally start providing a 'full' set of textures for their assets, i would see it as plain silly to not try and save up to purchase them, esp in the case of the BEP packs which i've seen to be extremely high quality although i'd typically have no interest in the more overly fantasy-themed items. I like fantasy stuff, but it's my fantasy stuff so I don't think its something you can just plonk something from someone elses fantasy vision into

    very nice, but i dont like having too many exposed rocks with openings

    hopefully they can be moved to made different or removed...

    @norby: I'm glad you like it, Thanks. It,s a new rain and thunder system created by brother Robin, that will be also included.
    @GamehubDev: Thanks man !
    @dreamlarp: Thanks for the suggestions ! maybe in the near future :)
    @lazygunn: Thanks for the positive feedback, I use for all buildings,props,rocks and cliffs the standard Unity BumpedDiffuse, The Unity Nature shader for the vegetation.
    @im: Thanks, the pack is very modular you could just replace them with other rocks.

    I wish the Building-construction-kit was scifi and modern military.

    I gotta say, it's super impressive.
    When you create this pack, what was the minimum computer specs you have in mind?

    @napster: Thanks for you kind words. Much appreciated !
    @botumys:Thanks man ! I'm glad you like it. :)
    @l0cke:Thanks, the rocks are basically sand color, it comes also color from the lightning settings.
    @Shadow_Fire: Thanks ! there is wide range of specs because of the amount of LOD models, but it should be easily playable with an 4-5 years old standard gaming pc, depending on the quality settings.
    @VicToMeyeZR: Thanks man. Much appreciated!

    Definitely adding this to the asset library with the rest of your Enviro. packs. Between you, Robin S, Jose D, and Michael O I am going to crush my asset budget. =) Well worth it though being a big chunk of the art that I do not have to produce. Plus I think you are all going to like the results when we are done. Did I read correctly Robin S. has weather stuff in this pack as well?

    Hi Jacal, thanks again for another excellent BEP pack! :)

    When I play the scenes in the editor, I notice that when playing from the editor, the terrain seems to flicker. I did see that this doesn't happen from exports like the webplayer.

    hi,
    I have a question : how do you place/merge little rocks or vegetation. In scenes there is a lot of merged objects.

    Hi,

    Bought this. It's good.

    Where is the scene that has the puddles,
    and that has the flowers/lily pads in water?
    what keywords should i search for in the hierarchy to find those objects?

    tx,

    shwa

    @botumys: Hi, I placed, grouped and merged all detail objects with the PlayEditor.
    I recorded also the camera drive animations for the video with it.
    @Shwa: Hi, I'm glad you like it, you can find them under /Plants/ TI_Waterlily.

    This will likely not be answered before the sale ends(As it ends in a few hours.), but is there any chance you could post more images or a video of what is included with the building construction kit? :D

    I am blown away by this. Is there any possible way you can do a video tutorial on a small piece of terrain to show customers how to reproduce similar maps? It would be extremely appreciated. That forest map is stunning. The erosion, roots sticking out of the walls, the single tree on the dirt pedestal...the damn mushrooms under the 2 connecting land chunks...good lord! That immersion! I would LOVE to see the process of creating this.

    Hi Jacal, if this is modular, can we get a render of the individual pieces to get a sense of how customizable it is?

    @Jacal:

    We just purchased your Big Environment Pack Vol.3 Unity Store Asset today as
    we saw it on special.

    We are having some trouble downloading it though and the download seems to
    stop at 89% and is now struggling to restart downloading again (it just keeps say
    waiting for server).

    Please if there is any way around this, any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
    Please get back to us asap.

    Thank you in advance.
